I didn’t care if Anthony Dine was loved in this city. I didn’t care if he was an outstanding quarterback and a client of Jack’s. He was a fucking player, and as he’d looked at James, as he’d made her laugh, and as he’d moved a piece of hair off her face, I had known the only thing he saw was a chick whose legs he was going to get in between.

There was no way in hell I was going to let that happen.

But, from the moment I’d taken James outside the gala, I’d let my frustration control my words. Because the thought of him—anyone—touching her made me fucking crazy.

Her cheeks were mine. Her lips, too.

Only my fingers were allowed to graze them.

Only my mouth was allowed anywhere near them.

When I’d told her tonight hadn’t gone as planned, that was the truth. Rebecca had monopolized me for almost the entire evening but for good reason. Netflix was interested in her series. HBO was also. I’d already received emails from both networks to set up a second meeting at their headquarters, and if things continued the way I thought they would, we’d soon be in a bidding war.

But James was hurt from the way I’d handled things tonight, from the way I’d completely ignored her, and I needed to talk to her about that.

“James, listen—” My voice cut off as the driver stopped in front of our building.

James immediately got out, not waiting for him to open her door.

I was right behind her.

She stood in front of the elevators, repeatedly pressing the button until one arrived. When it did, she walked in and hit the button to her floor.

We both knew this elevator didn’t go to the penthouse. That didn’t stop me from getting on and moving to the back wall where I leaned against it. Now, I had the most perfect view of her ass, and it teased the hell out of me. The cutouts on her hips were calling my hands; the ones on her shoulders needed my lips.

“James…”

She didn’t turn around.

She didn’t respond either.

She just stared at the screen on the wall that showed what floor we were on.

When we reached the ninth, I took a step forward and another, now only inches from her. My fingers twitched for her skin. My nose wanted to graze her neck to take in her pear scent.

The door opened, and she began to walk out.

I stopped her, cupping the cutouts, my mouth pressing against her cheek, right below her ear. “Don’t move.”

Her body tightened as I touched it. “What do you want?”

I flipped the switch that held the elevator in place, keeping the door from closing. Then, my hand returned to her, sliding around her navel, my face in her neck. I breathed her in. “You.”

“You told me that couldn’t happen.”

I exhaled over her shoulder. “I can’t stand not having you.”

“Brett, I’m so mad at you right now.”

My lips went to the back of her ear. “Show me.”

“Fuck you,” she seethed.

“Yes,” I hissed.
