What the hell was that about? Was he trying to teach his son a lesson and went too far? I listened as Kev explained how he’d found what he had so far and all the trouble the senator had gone through to hide the fact that he was the one saving his son’s bacon. But he hadn’t had he?
Just what the fuck is going on here? I looked at her again as my mind searched for the answers. It was then I noticed how drawn she looked. I hadn’t noticed it last night or I had but had written it off as stress due to what she’d seen. Then again she’s always beautiful to me.
But now I could see the strain on her sleeping face, and the fact that though she was still curvy she’d lost weight since the last time I’d seen her. Because she was slender to begin with, it was easy to miss. That shit didn’t happen overnight.
“By the way the senator sent his lackey to my door this morning. I fired the doorman and haven’t had time to replace him, his shift was almost at an end by then but I’m gonna need someone on the door this evening. Send one of the team for the time being, someone who wouldn’t be so easily swayed.”
“I’m on it. So I’m guessing you don’t want to do anything about the debt now.”
“Nope, he’s his son, who better to eat that shit than him? I just didn’t want anyone coming after her because of that shit. But don’t you find something way the fuck off about this shit? If it wasn’t the debt, what other reason could he have had for offing himself?”
“We’re not going to know that until we get into his place and go through his shit, which I’m waiting for the reporters to clear out to do. The funeral is tomorrow by the way, out on the island.”
“Tomorrow, so soon?”
Shit! I have a very important meeting tomorrow. It’s to close a deal I’ve been working on for quite some time and the other party was finally ready to cave after months of pressure. I can’t miss it, which means she’s gonna have to go without me.
“I want the whole team on her tomorrow.”
“What about you?”
“She comes first. I want eyes and ears on her at all times, from the minute I hand her over to you.” I already felt sick at the idea of her going anywhere without me by her side. I got that nasty feeling in my gut again and rubbed a hand over it.
“The eyes are a given, but the hearing might be a problem. We’ll have to do something about seating arrangements and I’m not sure we have enough time to change that shit seeing as it’s a high profile mess.”
“Call Simon, tell him I need a rush job, whatever he has that would work for her.”
“Why didn’t I think of that? I’ll have him overnight it, you should have it in the morning.”
“Okay, my woman looks like she’s about to wake up. Keep me posted, I want to hear about any new developments as soon as you get something.”
“You’ve got it. How is she doing?”
I looked at the screen where she was beginning to stir. “Tired! I gotta go.” I hung up and left the office to go back to her. She was just struggling into a sitting position when I walked into the room.
We stared at each other for a good minute before I walked over and sat on the bed next to her putting my hand to her forehead again. I hate seeing her this miserable and promised myself then and there never to put that look on her face.
“How do you feel?” She was back to being shy and adorably cute. I pulled her over to my side and sat her on my lap forgetting that she wasn’t wearing anything under my shirt. I gave my libido a tongue lashing though, because she’d had enough.
I can honestly say I’d fucked her more last night and early this morning than I had anyone I’d dated since I became an adult. No one else has ever had such an effect on me. Poor thing, maybe that’s why she’s looking the way she is.
“You feeling better?” I love the way she automatically curled into me like she’d been doing it forever. And the way she felt in my arms, cuddly and soft. Her body was a comforting warmth against mine, the perfect fit and I wanted to pet her but controlled myself.
“Yes thanks, just a little groggy, I think I slept too much. Gavin?”
“What is it?” I squeezed her gently and rested my head on hers. I can’t remember the last time I felt this peaceful, or this whole.
“How long do you really mean to keep me here?” I lifted my head and pushed the hair back from her face to look down into her eyes. She’s so beautiful it ached just to look at her. “Forever.”
