His messages come in rapidly. I chuckle, knowing I got him to freak out the same way he caused me to freak out when I walked in here.
Me: I think they are long gone, after cleaning the entire unit, like it’s about to be photographed for a magazine
Unc Dan: Don’t scare me like that. I was losing my mind
Me: Imagine how I felt when I walked in.
Unc Dan: I sent my housekeeper over. I know how you get when you are nervous, and I didn’t want you to come back and see all that, then sleep on the sofa because you have clothes on your bed and you don’t want to sleep in my bed because I’m not there.
Me: Thanks, please let me know next time so I don’t freak out.
Unc Dan: Yes Princess, shower and get in my bed. I will be there soon.
Me: See you soon, Uncle Dan.
Unc Dan: Sure, Ms K
I put the phone away and head to shower. Everything is so organized that I’m scared to touch or place them back wrong.Fucking neat freak.
I’m asleep when he curls into be with me, nuzzling and kissing me.
“You were amazing tonight,” he mumbles.
“You were not there”, I remind.
“I’m sorry, princess,” he says kissing my neck. “My dad needed my help.”
“Fine, you are forgiven because of your dad.”
“Thank you, your highness. I bought you something.”
“What is it?” I ask.
He brings out the box and takes out the bracelet. I take it from him.
It’s a three-tone gold bracelet with musical instrument charms. Only the instruments I play. I love the drumstick charm. I hug him.
“I love it! Thank you.”
His kiss is sensual and deep, and his love making is slow, like he only wants our body and soul to speak. God, I’m so in love with him.
Chapter 61
Daniel
My brothers and I have been in our secret room at the corner our club for hours, discussing business and everything in between. The room is soundproof, and no devices are allowed. We keep all phones in a locked box outside of the room.
The moment we stepped out, we realized it was raining heavily. We each grab our phone. Soon as I unlock mine, I see all the missed calls from Anu and voicemail. I listen to the message.
“Daniel,” my name is uttered in a faint, shaky voice. Fear surges through me. “Help me, please,” she cries. Her cry for help shakes my being.
“I need to go,” I say to my brothers and no one in particular.
“It’s a deluge out there, you have to wait for this to stop,” Luke says.
“I can’t, she needs me.” I press the voicemail. They are all quiet because the fear in her voice is clear. It scares me.
“Can you try calling her?” Bruce asks.
