CHAPTER 25

Katherine

I watch him walk away. His muscular back is a work of art. I keep staring even after he disappears. I don’t miss the distinct click of the lock. Is he thinking I will try to join him in the shower? I can’t say it didn’t cross my mind. I make my way to the wet bar. Normally, I would want something fruity to drink, but with what I’m facing tonight, whiskey on the rocks seems to be the way to go. I drop ice into my glass, making sure to make it extra loud—just in case he’s listening and isn’t in the shower. I glance down the small hall that leads to the bedroom and ensuite. It looks okay. I figure I might as well get it over with before I run out of time.

My heart thunders painfully in my chest. It’s been racing since I spotted Niko’s security in the hallway or rather, since they spotted me. That’s something new. Niko doesn’t normally have security outside his hotel. The way the guy kept staring at me as I answered his questions, set me on edge. I thought he would usher me out of the hotel. Hell, I kind of wish he had. He didn’t and now I’m stuck doing something I’m not sure is wise but doing it anyway.

I quietly make my way over to Niko’s desk. His laptop is sitting open with files stacked around it. Niko doesn’t take a break. It’s a given that he would have something for me to find. Niko is great in bed, but he’s very predictable and disciplined.

My cellphone vibrates in my pocket, making me jump just as my hand touches the first file. Damn it. I rifle through them quickly, holding the phone between my head and my shoulder. I don’t touch the laptop. It won’t have what I’m looking for.

“I can’t find it,” I whisper harshly. This is all his actual work, mostly a bunch of files about corporations and people he’s apparently doing business with because there are spreadsheets and junk in every file. It’s not what I’m looking for. I open and close the desk drawers as quietly as I can, but they’re not there.

“You’re not being very helpful. He will have something. Keep looking. It will be there in his room somewhere,” Dante growls. Shit, just his name fills me with fear. I don’t like him, and I sure don’t trust him. Still, I’m desperate. We both want the same thing, so it just made sense to go into business with him. It’s an enemy of my enemy kind of thing. I don’t know the full saying, but it fits.

“Well, it’s not.” I walk behind the desk, peeking into the cabinet to find a safe. “There’s a safe here, but it’s locked with a pin and fingerprint scanner.”

“Shit. It’s probably in there,” he says. “I will be at Korslova’s this week. I can find a copy of the contract there. The old man is too trusting.
