Shit, does he know I was in his tech den today?
Sin lets out a chuckle, completely oblivious to the exchange between his tech guru and me, while he steps back over andreaches out for my hand, taking it in his. “You ready to get this party started, wildcat?”
Faking a smile, I nod. “Can’t wait,” I reply, though my insides shake at the thought that maybe Ghost is starting to put the pieces of my deceptive puzzle together.
I need to ensure I keep my head in the game tonight.
I need to find out as much information on the club as I can.
I need to figure out what they’re into.
And I absolutelyhaveto get something on them, or my superiors arenotgoing to be happy with me.
“Then let’s get you inside. We have a long night ahead of us, and I want to make sure you have a damn good time,” Sin states, pulling me along with him.
Letting out a laugh as he drags me toward the clubhouse, my heeled feet can barely keep up as we enter. My eyes widen as I take in all the decorations the girls put up while I was at home getting ready. They’ve really gone all out, and this place looks amazing.
Everyone turns to greet me as Sin leads me over to the bar, tapping the wood gently. “Ro, can you grab my girl a drink, please?”
I snap my head to him, raising my brow.“Yourgirl?’ I ask with a laugh.
He rolls his eyes. “It’s an expression, don’t get ahead of yourself, wildcat.”
Smirking, I nod. “Uh-huh,” I reply as Ro winks at me before sliding a glass across the bar.
“Don’t dig yourself a hole you can’t crawl out of, there, Pres,” Ro states.
Sin snorts out a laugh, spinning on his heels as Millie and, who I can only assume is Jonas McClane, walk in together through the front entrance.
Sin gives them a curt wave. “And on that note, I have to go be a hospitable host.” His eyes meet mine again. “Stay where I can see you.”
Huffing, I frown. “You’re so bossy. Anyone ever tell you tha—”
His lips crash into mine, instantly silencing me, and my legs weaken immediately. It’s lucky I am sitting. A small whimper escapes me as he pulls back slowly, his eyes glaring into me with a fierce intent.
“I’ll stay where I can see you,” I reply needily.
He chuckles, standing taller, and lightly pats my lower back at the top of my ass. “Good girl.”
My clit instantly tingles before he spins on his heels and takes off to greet McClane. I let out a long, exaggerated breath as I slump my elbows onto the clubhouse bar, knowing I am completely and utterly screwed.
That man is a goddamn inferno.
Ro giggles beside me, capturing my attention. I slowly turn to look at her, and she simply grins, motioning to zip her mouth shut.
Sin’s presence is like gravity.
Even when I can’t see him, I feel him.
This magnetic pull makes my skin prickle and my nerves fray.
It’s unsettling yet intoxicating.
Yet, I remind myself why I’m here.
But how can I focus on uncovering secrets when Sin’s eyes trace my every move, making me feel more exposed than this dress ever could?
Turning back to Ro, I smile up at her. “Thanks, Ro, but if I don’t get up and keep moving, I think I might go stir-crazy.”
