“What’s wrong?”
“Someone is outside the door.”
Her green eyes flew wide open, and she tried to sit up, but I pushed her back down, hating that I had to pull my cock from her body, but I did it anyway.
“Don’t move,” I said to her, throwing my blanket up her body as I quickly tugged on pants and grabbed my gun from my bedside table.
“Enzo—”
“It’s OK,” I murmured, going to my door. I cracked it open to find Jade standing there.
I frowned as I peered out at her. “What are you doing here?”
“Um, we had a meeting tonight.”
“Then call my fucking phone.”
“I did, Enzo. You didn’t answer,” she replied. “We were supposed to meet with Matthew Ridgeford at seven for dinner. You didn’t show up.”
I scrubbed my hand down my face. I forgot I had to meet with him tonight. It was just a standard business dinner, but fuck. I’d miss it ten times if I got to repeat what I’d just done.
“Reschedule. I’m busy.”
She stared at me, a hurt look on her face. “You said we’d talk about us tonight…”
I swallowed. I had said that. I was in a fucked-up headspace when I’d said that. Angry at myself and wanting more punishment. Another fucking mistake.
“Yeah. I just… I’m busy.”
“With who? I could hear you…”
I licked my lips and tightened my hold on the door. “Jade, go. We’ll talk on Monday.”
“Right.” She scoffed. “Does she know about you and me…?”
“We’re nothing. You’re my assistant.”
“But we’ve… You said we’d talk about it?—”
“We will. Just not right now. Go. I’m serious. I’m busy.”
She shook her head, her hurt and anger apparent as she glared back at me before she turned on her heel and stormed away. I heard the front door slam, and I let out a sigh. Fucking Dmitri. I guessfucking me, though, because she was on my clearance list. She could always come and go as she pleased.
I closed the door and turned to find Rosalie sitting on the bed, the sheet around her.
“Do you love her?” Rosalie asked, her green eyes filled with sadness.
I approached and sat on the edge of the bed next to her.
“No.”
“Do you want to?”
I shrugged. “It’s complicated.”
“Talk to me. I can keep secrets too.” Her voice shook.
Fuck, this broke my heart.
