Chapter Nineteen

I slip behind the front desk. “Sorry I took so long,” I say to Danica. “Thanks for holding down the fort.”

“How’d it go?”

“Great. We just talked and talked. It’s so weird. We have these great conversations, but there’s no sexual chemistry at all. Lucas says he really appreciates the chance to talk with a woman without any sexual undertones. I don’t think he’s used to having many female friends.”

Danica’s facial expression tells me she’s buying everything I’m selling, without question—which kind of pisses me off, actually. “That’s so sweet,” she says. “Why is the front of your hair wet?”

My chest tightens. Obviously, I can’t tell Danica I took a quick shower in Lucas’s suite before heading back down to work. “Because I had to wash my face before I left,” I say smoothly. “Lucas was so excited about a new song he wrote, he shook up a bottle of champagne and opened it and it sprayed all over me.” I roll my eyes. “I was actually annoyed with him.”

Again, Danica looks completely convinced. “So he wants you back again tomorrow night?”

“Yup. Same time. Okay with you?”

“Sure thing.” She smiles sheepishly. “Okay, so don’t be mad at me, but I didn’t even start working on the P and R reports yet. Sorry, I got distracted. I was hoping you’d start working on them while I take my break and grab some food?”

“Of course. Take as long as you need. Thanks so much for covering for me for so long.”

“You bet.” Danica pinches my butt as she moves around the front desk, her fingers squeezing an inch away from the spot where Lucas bit me so unexpectedly mere minutes ago. “See ya in about forty-five?” Danica asks.

“Great.”

Danica leaves and I begin dutifully working on the P&R reports, but about ten minutes into my work I’m interrupted by an incoming call on the main board from Penthouse A.

“Why, hello there, Mr. Ford. Or should I call you Count Dracula?”

Lucas chuckles. “How’s your tasty ass?”

“It hurts.”

“Sorry about that. Got carried away. Is that why you left so damned fast?”

“Of course not. I just had to get back to work.”

“Yeah, but you didn’t have to bolt outta here like the place was on fire. You sure you’re okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“You’re not freaking out?”

“Not at all. I’m great.”

“Good. I thought maybe you left like that because you were freaking out and wanted to quit the game.”

“I’m not freaking out at all,” I say. “And I don’t want to quit the game in the slightest.”

I can hear his smile across the phone line. “Good.” He sighs. “God, that was hot, wasn’t it? Damn, Abby.”

Heat spreads to my core. “Yeah, it was pretty hot.”

“You’re a savage beast, woman. I’ve done plenty of threesomes before—although always with two women—but holy mother of God, they’ve never been anything close to as hot as what we just did. Camden and I were talking about it after you left, and we both agreed it was because of you. You come off as
