Chapter 7

I ended up staying three nights with Lucas, only going home Sunday evening so I could get ready for work on Monday. He’d argued that I should take more time off, but I didn’t want to fall behind at work.

As soon as I sat down at my desk, Jamison came into my office. “Are you alright, Miss Vincent?”

I nodded. “I’m fine, sir.”

“If you need some time off, don’t hesitate to ask for it,” he told me.

“Thank you, sir, but I’m really fine. I just want to get back to life as normal.”

The demons and the shifter had been arrested not even an hour after Lucas and I got to the police station. Lucas and I pressed charges, and the contract was voided, so everything was right with the world again.

“Glad to have you back,” he said with a nod. “I’ve added security to the parking garage. I am embarrassed to have an employee kidnapped from my building and will ensure it doesn’t happen again.”

“Glad to hear it,” I said, smiling.

He nodded once more and left.

I exhaled and slumped in my chair. I would be glad when everyone had forgotten about this fiasco.

“Milena!” Michelle yelled as she ran into my office and threw herself into my lap, hugging me. “Oh, Milena! I was so scared when you were missing!”

I hugged her and patted her back. “I’m fine, Michelle. I’m sorry you were worried.”

She kissed my cheek. “You’re really okay?”

I nodded and smiled. “Good as ever.”

“Anymore stories for me?” she asked. “About you and the sexy millionaire?”

I chuckled. “None I’m going to share.”

She gawked and then smiled. “You should have seen him, Milly. He thought you’d stood him up and was sure he had done something to scare you away. He was like a kicked puppy.”

I smiled. “He told me he had thought I was scared off.”

“He didn’t tell you how sad and forlorn he looked. A couple women tried to come talk to him, but he ignored them completely. I lost count of the number of times he sighed, while stirring his drink, but it was at least fifty,” she said.

“That’s an exaggeration,” Lucas said from the doorway, his arms crossed over his chest.

She gasped, spinning my chair so we could both see him. “Lucas?”

He looked at us and tilted his head. “Are you a couple?”

I rolled my eyes, and Michelle stood. “No. We’re just friends. And I was scared and had to express my joy that she was safe and sound,” Michelle explained.

He shrugged, not seeming to mind if we had been a couple. “Okay.”

“I totally wasn’t exaggerating,” she whispered before leaving and waved to us.

“A kicked puppy, huh?” I asked, smirking from my seat.

“You are quite the catch, Miss Vincent. I was scared I’d done something to scare you away. It had been a long time since I’d slept with a woman. I could have been rusty.”

I threw back my head and laughed, slapping my desk as I gasped for air. “Shut up!” I said once I could breathe.
