That makes a small laugh fall from my lips. “That serious?”
He lifts his head again, his eyes holding mine. “I told you, I want you to smell like me.”
A whole bunch of my fears ease as I smile at him in the reflection.
A minute later, I’m back at my desk, Rachel giving me the longest look ever.
I clear my throat and bury my face in my computer.
But I’m not working long when the concierge service in the main lobby rings up. “The city inspectors have arrived.”
I stand, crossing to the elevator, my thighs sticking together as I go.
The elevator doors open, two men step out. I smile, nodding to them. “Welcome to Smith Brothers Real Estate.”
One of the men smiles back. But the other gives me the oddest stare.
Do I smell that distinct? I smile wider as Rush steps up next to me. “Gentlemen.”
We move to the conference room, the meeting runs smoothly, the inspectors agree to sign off on the permits.
As the meeting wraps up, Rush requests that I make the necessary copies of the signed documents. With a nod of goodbye, I get up to leave, both the inspectors rising as well.
The man who stared at me at the beginning watches me go, his eyes narrow.
It makes my stomach lurch the way he’s looking at me. I turn away, quickly retreating to the safety of the copy room.
But I can’t shake the fear.
Does that man know Vigo? Does he know me? The idea of it makes my head spin. As the copier runs, I pick up my cell phone and call Erika.
“Hey,” she answers the phone softly, likely trying to keep our call on the down low.
“Hey,” I gasp into the phone. “I think a city inspector might know who I am.”
“Shit,” she mumbles. “That’s bad.”
I’m safe in the building. But a new thought occurs to me. Is the guy telling Rush the truth right now?
Panic fills my chest.
I’ve got to tell him first. Otherwise…
It’s going to be so much worse.
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
Rush
I see the inspectors out,whistling as I head back to my office.
Not only did the meeting with the inspectors go well, the meeting with Matteo was a success, but after multiple orgasms, my mood is the best it’s been in…years.
Gigi makes me happy.
I stop in the middle of the open office space marveling at the feeling. I haven’t felt this good for a long time. I guess being in love can do that to a man.
I didn’t think it was even possible.
