Chapter Eighteen

Phoebe finally turned off her computer, her thighs trembling from the anticipation of what Lach had planned for her this evening. It had taken most of the afternoon for her anger to wear off and a couple of more hours to finally understand Lach’s position on this part of his life. It wasn’t like he hadn’t said it numerous times, but the lifestyle was ingrained in him. Instead of finishing up calls in regards to donations to her father’s campaign, she’d trolled the Internet researching the BDSM lifestyle as much as she could while keeping prying eyes at bay.

While waiting for sites to load, Phoebe spent time wondering what had made her attracted to Lach in the first place. Granted, he’d saved her over a year ago now during the hostage situation in Africa. Could it be she saw him as her savior? Was she just grateful? She’d immediately rejected that thought, knowing that wasn’t it. He was a gentleman through and through, from how he treated women to the proper etiquette it took to date a lady. He was kind and understanding, which she’d seen firsthand with Kimmie. He was loyal to a fault, evident in his word of honor given to Gavin Crest. Men like him were few and far between and when it came right down to it, he made her feel something that no one else had—an untapped fountain of desire.

“You’re leaving early. Is everything all right?”

Phoebe looked up from her black screen to see Stewart standing in front of her desk. He’d relieved another volunteer around lunch time and she knew that he only had another hour of his time before he left for the evening as well. Paul had made sure that the phones were manned until at least eleven at night, knowing the west coast didn’t end their day until later. There were still at least ten other volunteers still making cold calls along with Troy. Paul was already training the up and coming eager young man for a run in politics. It had always amazed her at how young the budding politicians started out.

“Everything’s fine, Stewart,” Phoebe answered, standing up and trying not to let it be known that cool air drifted up her dress, making her instantly clench her thighs and think of Lach. “Um, I just have some personal things to attend to. Troy is manning the ship anyway, so I’ll see you in the morning.”

“Have you spoken with Hannah?” Stewart remained in front of the table while Phoebe slid her arms inside her coat, brushing off some black threads that must have come off of her dress. His question had caught her attention though and she waited for him to continue while pulling on her gloves. “I haven’t heard from her in a while. We used to text each other every day, but now she won’t respond. Hannah also won’t answer my calls.”

“My father reached out to Hannah and he made sure she understood why she couldn’t volunteer on the campaign after everything that happened.
