The second I stepped behind the glass shower walls and turned the knobs, water burst from every direction at the perfect temperature.
“Ahhhh…” I couldn’t help but moan.
Shutting my eyes, I tilted my head back as the jets cascaded over my skin.
My playlist filtered softly through the built-in speakers while steam wrapped around the room like a warm blanket.
“Yeah…” I sang. “But you know…This life…”
I lathered shampoo through my hair, singing under my breath until suddenly—the music stopped.
The soft lighting vanished, too, replaced by harsh white overhead lights.
“What the…”
I quickly rinsed off, assuming the power system had glitched.
Stepping out of the shower, I reached for the wall panel—and froze.
There, standing in the doorway, was the sexiest man I’d ever seen in my life.
The last man I wanted to see right now.
Dante Hudson?
With his jaw clenched tight and his striking blue eyes staring right at me, he looked even better than he did on theProperty Mogulmagazine cover.
Fully suited in midnight gray, with broad shoulders that looked unfairly expensive, the man stood there like he owned the oxygen I was breathing.
Say something, Chloe. Say hello…
I opened my mouth, but no words fell.
Then reality smacked me in the face.
I was dripping wet, bare-ass naked, and guilty as hell of being here when I wasn’t supposed to be.
“Never mind,” Mr. Hudson said into his phone, his gaze fixed directly on me. “I’ve discovered the ‘paranormal activity’ problem…”
I could practically feel the color draining from my face and pooling at my feet.
“I’ll call you right back.” He slipped his phone into his pocket, and his gaze traveled from my eyes to my toes before hardening again.
Still thoughtless, I covered my breasts with my hands.
I waited for him to say something—but all he did was stare.
The silence made my skin burn even hotter.
“You must be lost,” he said finally.
I nodded.
“I see.” He walked past me and grabbed a towel, but he didn’t immediately hand it over. “So, somewhere between all of the units in the building that are not for sale, you slipped into the one that was?”
“Yes…”
“The most expensive one with its own set of keys and codes?” He narrowed his eyes and finally held out the towel.
