“Mr. Devlin, I say we pass on this. The deal isn’t as smooth as I hoped, and the expected ROI is low, and the risk is high.”

“Draft the denial letter, please. I’ll sign off on it Monday.”

“I thought you’d be in today before the party?” he questions.

“No, I’ve had something urgent come up. Besides, it’s the end of the year. Take it easy for a day.

“What? Important? Anything I need to know about?”

“No. I’ll be in on the sixth.” I end the call because I don’t give anyone an explanation for my actions, especially one of my employees. Brian and I have been friends for years, but he has a bad habit when it comes to cocaine. That son of a bitch will be here tonight. Damn, I’m going to have to keep tabs on my woman, or he’s going to try and steal her from me.

Thinking about my woman, the one thing that’s nagging me is that she came here at all. There’s no way that she did this of her own volition. I slam my fist on the desk, anger seething through me. Nothing about her screams unscrupulous. In fact, she came off as scared but interested in me. So damn interested. She came multiple times in my arms, and the way she held onto me as we came down from the high hit me in the chest. The whole situation has fucked my head up.

Rudy must be crazy if he thinks that his sister’s pussy gave him a pass. There’s no way in hell. If he put her up to this…I’ll bury him. Seeing him drive her here told me that my hunch is more than likely correct. She wouldn’t know where to find me even if she’d seen me on the fucking gossip sites. As much as I am happy she’s now in my life, he treated her like chattel. I need to get to the bottom of this.

I call my head of security, Angus Ferguson, a big ass Scotsman who takes pride in doing his job well. “Angus, I need all you can dig up on Rudy Jones’ family members. Every detail. By tonight.”

“Yes, sir.”

I dash upstairs, taking the steps two at a time. My dick is so damn hard, making it painful to run, but I want to know the truth. I throw open the door and cause her to drop the towel, revealing her smooth, naked flesh to me. All thoughts of Rudy are gone. My sole purpose is to make sure she doesn’t leave.

She reaches for it to cover up, but I shake my head. “No. Don’t cover up what’s mine. Do you hear me, Rory? That pussy, those perfect tits, and those luscious curves belong to me.”

She stands there, nibbling on her bottom lip, staring at me with a pink flush on her face.

“Lay on the bed, spread your silky legs open and wait for me. Now,” I demand when she hesitates. Slowly, I unbutton my dress shirt, watching the way she admires and focuses on each roll of my fingers over the buttons. Her tongue slips out past her plump, thoroughly kissed lips and her pupils dilate.

“I have one question to ask you. I want it answered truthfully,” I state, stepping toward the bed and letting my shirt fall to the floor. Aurora nods, and I continue, “Did Rudy put you up to this?”

“Put me up to what?”

I growl as she slides her hands over her thighs. “Did Rudy tell you to come and seduce me in exchange for his debt cleared?”

“He said you demanded the deal,” she says, tucking her chin into her chest.

I jump on the bed, my hands and legs straddling her as I lean over and ask, “I sure as fuck didn’t demand shit. He told you that?”

“Yes.”

I shake my head, trying to gain some semblance of self-control. “Just so you know…the contract is null and void.” I lean in and kiss her cheek, and then her jaw.

“What?”

“You entered it under duress. Any lawyer will tell you that,” I say, continuing my kisses down her neck. Being this close to her is too damn tempting to resist.

“I doubt a lawyer would be involved in this kind of transaction. Besides, it’s a little too late for the one part.” She rolls her hips up.

“Well, that was a done deal the second I saw you on the camera—stepbrother or no stepbrother. The thing with your stepbrother is another matter. Why the fuck would you tolerate it?”

“You don’t understand.” She turns her head away from me like that shit’s going to fly with me.

I grip her face and stare into those suddenly tear-filled eyes, needing an explanation. “What the fuck is there to understand? Selling you to me to clear his debts, lying to you, trading your virginity for his own gain.”

“No, he has my sister.”

“Your sister? Oh, yeah…there’s two of you.” It slipped my mind, but it explains why she was willing to give me her pussy for her stepbrother. Just thinking about Aurora’s gift to me brings a smile to my face.

She nudges my chest with her fists. “Don’t even start thinking about her. She’s too young.” Her eyes narrow with a hint of jealousy. I understand she’s full of distrust, but I’m not the one who created it.
