Chapter Twenty-Six

A bustling office greets me.

Seriously. Men and women run back and forth from computers to copiers to phones.

This is Braden’s home away from home?

“Mr. Black, welcome.” A young man greets us. “We have the meeting set for an hour from now. Everything’s ready in the conference room.”

Conference room? This is a mistake. This isn’t Braden’s Manhattan penthouse. This is his office space. Has to be.

“I’ll be with you in a few minutes.” Braden turns to me. “Follow me, Skye.”

He leads me through the front area to a door in the back. He slides a card through another reader, and we enter as he shuts the door behind us.

The office sounds disappear instantly.

This part of the penthouse is soundproof. Nice call.

Another large area greets us, this one more like what I was expecting. It’s a living room decorated in a scant style. Seriously scant. Two wingback chairs, a sofa, and a coffee table. Odd, since his Boston place is decorated so completely. To the left is a kitchen, much smaller than his kitchen in Boston.

“I know you must be tired,” he says. “I’ll help you get settled in the bedroom, and then I have work to do.”

I nod. Tired is an understatement. I’m exhausted.

He leads me down a hallway and opens the door. I drop my mouth open. New York at night greets me, and it is splendid. Braden does like floor-to-ceiling windows. Just like his Boston penthouse, only instead of the harbor, the glitz of downtown greets me.

“Everything you need will be in the bathroom. Help yourself. If you’re hungry or thirsty, the kitchen is stocked.”

“But what about you?” I ask. “It’s the middle of the night. You must be tired, too.”

“Adrenaline,” he says. “This is an important deal. I’ll be fine.”

I nod. I know better than to try to talk him into staying with me, maybe giving me that orgasm he promised. Not going to happen. Not tonight.

He kisses my forehead. “Get some sleep.” Then he turns and walks out of the bedroom.

I sigh. This is life with Braden Black. Oddly, I’m okay with it. I love this man. I want to know this man. And coming here, to his Manhattan residence, will help me get to know him better—especially if this is where certain aspects of his “lifestyle” reside.

He said he’d show me. Apparently he meant later.

He’s all business right now. An important contract. I have no idea why or how it’s important, but I take him at his word. He’ll see to business.

But what of the lifestyle he was talking about? The lifestyle he keeps in Manhattan, never bringing to Boston?

What does he mean?

I walk to the door of the bedroom and glance down the hallway. Several other closed doors line the wall. Extra bedrooms? The conference room the young man mentioned? I have no idea. Yes, I’m curious, but exhaustion takes over. Sleep first. Tomorrow, I’ll look around.

Maybe I can uncover some of his secrets.

…

I open my eyes. Gray skies greet me. Ugh. For a moment, I think I’m in Boston at Braden’s place.
