CHAPTER EIGHT
LIAM
––––––––
Fuck.Fucking fuck.
That was going well until I slid my fingers around Jessie’s neck and the desire to kiss her almost stole all my self-control.I’m talking split fucking seconds.
I’m still not sure if I want to shoot Perez or buy him a car.I’m leaning heavily towards the bullet.
Thanks, buddy.
Why did that bother me so much?I am her friend.A friend who just saw her naked this morning.Who craves to bury my head between her legs and watch as she arches when I thrust my fingers inside her...
Stop.
Anyway, as far as I know, she doesn’t have any friends in California, so did she lie to me?The less time we spend together alone, the better, but I promised Jayden I’d keep her out of trouble, and that vision of her on Venice Beach is front and center.
I’m a man, Jess.I can see who you are as a woman.You’re fucking gorgeous.
Shouldn’t have said that.
If you weren’t Jayden’s little sister...
Shouldn’t have said that either.At least some of my brain cells started working and stopped me talking.Then I touched her and that was worse.
Jessie felt the same chemistry flare to life as I did.I know she did.I saw it as her lips parted and her tongue swept out, readying for what should have come next.
My kiss.
I need a lock on my bedroom door to keep me inside.One that doesn’t open until seven the next morning.Make that seven-forty-five, and I’ll start having breakfast at the BHS offices.
She better be wearing panties today.
“Jesus, I’m fucked,” I curse, then drive over to the new Warner Bros site.
When I arrive, Marshall is there with his sleeves rolled up carrying two large boxes.
“Hey.”I do a quick jog to catch up to him.“What ya got there?”
“Cameras.Couple of panels for the office.You doing the drone shots today?”He glances at the device in my hand.
“Yup.”I glance around and slow when he stops at the newly built security office.“Man, I thought this place was ready to go in a few weeks.”
He laughs.
“Just wait.It will be unrecognizable in a week.These guys have money, and money means speed.”Marshall unlocks the door and we walk into the small space.
I survey the current setup and see why we’re upgrading it.BHS didn’t originally have the contract, but after the break-in, which reportedly cost them upwards of three big ones, Josh got the contract.
