I’m usually not much of a midday napper, but apparently violence and oral sex takes it out of me. When I wake up, it’s after 7 p.m., and I’m the only one in the enormous bed. I reach over, bleary-eyed, but Raoul’s side isn’t even warm anymore. How strange.

I slide across the bed and stand, feet hitting the wooden floor. As I rise, I can feel the sensual muscle ache in the middle of my body, a gift from the mind-altering orgasm I have been given, and it lessens my annoyance at being left alone. Raoul seems like a busy man, maybe he has work to do. Whether that work is legal or not, I’m still not sure. But that’s none of my business at the moment.

His ease with fighting, coupled with the oddly vague way he had spoken about his past at the Palmetum had tipped me off that maybe Raoul was some sort of mobster or retired gun runner, but he’s told me again and again that he’s retired. So…what does it even matter, at this point? Sure, the abduction and then seduction isn’t really the epitome of appropriate early dating behavior, but something tells me Raoul is a man out of time. Nothing is normal with this gorgeous, dangerous man.

I find my purse dropped by the bedroom door. I had powered my phone off before going into work, and it’s still off when I fish it out of my bag. I shudder thinking about the messages and missed calls that await me, but there’s no getting out of it. I power it on, walking aimlessly through the villa in search of Raoul, until I’m out on the terrace. Alone.

Once fully on, my phone explodes in a cacophony of texts and alerts. Shockingly though, only once voicemail, and I bet I already know who it’s from. I tap the screen, putting it on speaker, and listen to Paul’s message, feeling nauseous.

Skye, I’ve got a lot of things to say to you, and you’re lucky I don’t press charges on you as an accomplice. I’m concussed, not that you care, but I promise you that I’ll find out where that Neanderthal is hiding you, and when I do, he’ll be arrested and you and I will have a real talk, face to face. You don’t get to be cocktease to me and then just bolt when you find someone bigger and richer. Obviously you’re fired, but if you play nice I might still let you have your last check. See you soon.

Revulsion pours over me. I save the message to show Raoul, even more determined to find him now.

I finally do as I’m standing at the top of the staircase that leads to the main floor right in front of the home’s entrance. He’s back in a white button up shirt and black pants, shirtsleeves rolled up, but my eyes are immediately drawn to the holstered handgun on his hip. I stare at it so long that it takes me some time to digest what I’m looking at.
