TARA

The lingerie set fits me perfectly.

It’s way more risqué than everything else I’ve put on in the past. I’ve bought my own sets throughout the years, but always sided with the tamer versions.

I pull the trench coat on and slip into a pair of high heels. Black satin ribbons wrap around my ankles, finished up with rhinestones trimmed little bows. I add another layer of mascara, my eyes sparkling like sapphires.

The phone starts to ring just as I peel my eyes away from the mirror.

I fish out my phone from my purse and answer the call.

“Miss Hart, the car is ready for you,” the driver says as I grab my keys and purse and head to the door.

A few moments later, I walk out of the building and climb into a limousine.

Half an hour later, my ride pulls in front of a skyscraper not far from Elliott Bay. Squares of bright light and patches of darkness line the building’s walls.

A man waits for me outside.

He introduces himself as the concierge clerk before he shows me to the entrance.

The building looks like a posh hotel, except that there are no guests, only the doorman, and the concierge clerk.

We walk across the lobby in silence, heading to a private elevator.

The man holds the elevator door for me, presses the only button on the panel, and leaves me alone.

The elevator takes me to the top level where it opens straight into a private residence.

The door slides shut before the elevator starts descending and I make the first steps into the foyer.

I amble across the space, my heels click-clacking on the marble floor before I reach a big door.

As I look closely, I notice that it’s slightly open.

I take a moment and listen.

Shade’s voice drifts through the air while soft music echoes in the background.

Slowly, I push it open.

A large chamber sprawls in front of me.

On the left, I spot a bedroom with a round bed and sheer curtains while on the right, I notice a living room with ceiling height windows and a bar.

The wall of glass in front of me opens to a rooftop patio. Pixels of glittering lights fill the night view in the distance.

The room I’m walking in is dimly lit.

Feet away from me, Shades stands next to the flowing curtains, the blue reflection of the pool sparkling behind him.

Shirtless, and half turned to me, he talks on the phone, his gaze rooted to the view.

Dark suit pants fit his narrow hips and muscular legs, a white shirt crumpled in his hand.

His head is slightly tilted down, his V-shaped back curved.

The sound of my heels against the tile floor makes him raise his eyes. He looks at me, a slow smile arching his lips as he takes me in with hungry eyes.

Still on the phone, he tosses his shirt on a chair and swaggers to me.

A beautifully drawn tattoo stretches on his flank, nearing his ripped abs.

As he slides closer, I make out the words and vines that curl around an empty cage masterfully captured in black ink.
