“You’re going back?” Aleksi asks.
“It’s not like I have anything keeping me here,” I grunt. “I need him found, Aleksi. I want her to know that he’s out of the picture.”Iwant to know that he’s out of the picture.
“I’m going to find him,” Aleksi says, and I have no doubt that he will.
“Thanks.” I pick up my pistol, tucking it into the holster at my back before throwing my jacket on.
I don’t know how many traffic rules I break to make it to the Petrov building in record time. Twenty-six minutes. I also don’t fucking care. Getting out of the car, I scan the underground garage, spotting three of my men by the elevators.
I walk over and show them a picture of Henry Sawyer. “If you see this fucker around, I want him restrained. Alive.” I have way too much pent-up anger I plan to take out on the fucker. He does not get a quick death. “I’m sending you the image. Share it,” I tell them.
“Will do.” They all nod and step out of my way as I enter the elevator.
My palm presses on the reader and I head up to Caitlyn’s floor. I let myself into her apartment, toeing off my shoes in the entryway. I don’t want to wake her up if she’s asleep.
Every light in the place is switched on.Fucking hell, she’s scared out of her damn mind.
I walk down the hall and push into the main bedroom. She’s not on the bed. The blankets are messed up. “Caitlyn?” I call out.
The bathroom door opens and Caitlyn appears. “Neo?” Her face is pale.
“Fuck.” I rush forward and pull her into my arms. “I didn’t mean to frighten you.”
“It hasn’t been forty minutes,” she says quietly.
“I know.” I press my lips against the top of her head, then guide her over to the bed. “Let’s go to sleep.”
I shrug out of my jacket and throw it on the chair in the corner of the room. Caitlyn watches as I remove my pistol and put it on the bedside table. Her eyes never leave me. A faint blush creeps up her neck and cheeks once I’m down to my black briefs.
“Come on.” Pulling the blanket back, I urge her to climb on as I do the same.
“I can sleep in the other room,” she says.
“Do you not want to sleep next to me, Caitlyn?” I ask, propping myself up against the headboard.
“I don’t want you to feel like you have to sleep next to me,” she says.
I laugh. “Caitlyn, I spent all last night thinking about you in my guestroom. I didn’t sleep, because I wanted nothing more than to climb into that bed with you. I have no plans of doing the same thing tonight. Trust me when I say I want to be in this bed with you.”
Caitlyn gives me a shy smile before she climbs in next to me. As soon as she’s in reaching distance, I wrap my arm around her and pull her against my chest.
“Sleep. You’re safe here,” I tell her.
“Thank you.” Her hand lands on my abs and I inhale, thinking about anything and everything to get my dick onboard with the program of having a PG night.
Chapter Twenty-Two
I’ve been lying here awake for about fifteen minutes, too afraid to move. Because one, I don’t want to wake Neo up. And two, I don’t want to lose the feeling of being wrapped in his arms.
My back is pressed against his front. I can feel the hard outline of his cock digging into my ass, which isn’t helping my ability to stay still. I want to rub myself all over him, an unfamiliar need overtaking my senses.
That feeling I had yesterday when he went down on me, I want that again. I want him to give me that again. I’d never ask him to, though. I’d be mortified at being turned down. Instead, I lie here, trying to calm my breathing and my rapid thoughts. Trying and failing to stay still.
Neo’s arm tightens around my waist, and his lips press against the crook of my neck. “If you keep wiggling against my cock like that,solnishko, I’m going to have issues restraining myself from rolling you over and fucking you senseless.” His voice is deep, husky from sleep, and sends shivers through me.
“Maybe you shouldn’t restrain yourself then,” I whisper and freeze, shocked by my own words.
Within seconds, I’m rolled onto my back and Neo is on top of me, settling himself between my legs. “You know I’m not a good man, Caitlyn. If you’re giving me a green light to fuck you, I’m going to. So I need you to be the responsible one here and make sure that’s what you really want.”
