“Maybe. But on a much smaller scale. And carefully.”
“Hmm, I don’t like it. I mean, I’ll do it. But I don’t like it.”
I smiled then and took her hand, pressing a kiss into her palm. The way she shivered at the brief contact had my pulse leaping. “Thank you. That’s all I need to know for now. I just want you to be safe.”
“Who is it? Why are they doing this?”
“We have no idea. I’ve got my entire security team looking into it. We’ve involved the relevant authorities. We can’t find a trace of him. It’s like he’s a ghost.”
“What the fuck? That’s freaky!”
“Yeah. It’s fucked.”
“Stressful.”
“Yeah.”
“Scary that you have all this power, untold wealth, minions to do your every bidding, but you can’t solve this one problem.”
“Are you trying to freak me out?”
She gazed at me for just long enough that I squirmed. It was like she could see straight through me. “You know what you need?”
“More power?”
“No.”
“More wealth?
“Uh uh.”
“More minions?”
“Nope. I know exactly what you need. And lucky for you, I’ve got some right here.”
“What is it?”
“Some hot limo sex.” She smiled when I laughed and shifted into my lap, pressing her lips to mine. “Oh, one thing before we do that. Give me your phone.”
I unlocked it and handed it over without question.
“It’s hot the way you do that,” she said as she did whatever she wanted on my phone.
“Do what?”
“Just hand over your most important asset without even asking me what I want it for.”
Her phone pinged.
“Uh, whatdoyou want it for?”
“Just sent myself the recording we made at the beach house. If I’m not going to see you as much, I’ll need something to get me through the dry spells.”
“I see.”
“Mmm.” She dropped my phone on the seat and wrapped her arms around my neck. “Now to the hot limo sex.”
