Autumn

My head is still spinning as Chris pulls his sleek black Alfa Romeo into the underground parking lot of his condominium complex. I recognize the building as one I considered myself when I was searching for a place to live. I ultimately decided to go with the place that had the heftier price tag because the location is closer to work. But these condos are just as nice, and it makes me realize just how good business is for Black Shadow Security.

I glance sideways at him. “Do you usually do this with your clients?”

He pulls into a space and shuts off the engine, then turns to face me directly. “No, Autumn. I certainly don’t. You’re the first.”

The small space between us in the car is rapidly warming. I tug at the already loose neckline of my sweater. “So why me?”

His gaze softens as it searches mine. “I don’t know, exactly. I’ve been asking myself the same question. I guess it’s because…I feel drawn to you. I feel protective of you. I want to keep you safe. And the best way I know how to do that is keeping you as close as possible.” He glances away, clearing his throat. “But I know how this must seem to you. And I apologize for that. At a hotel, you’d still be vulnerable, especially if someone is following you. But likely, no one interested in you knows where I live. And if they come knocking at my door to find you, well...” He trails off, smirking in a way that sends a blast of heat straight down between my thighs. “They’ll have to come through me first. And believe me when I tell you—they don’t want that problem.”

I can’t help shivering slightly at his words and at his voice. I’ve always been an independent woman and can take care of myself in most respects, but there’s something about this big, strong, sexy man saying things like that to make me tremble. I’ve been around plenty of powerful men. But none like Christopher Sloane. He’s a quiet force, but one of the most powerful I’ve ever been around.

“I’ve got a guest room,” he continues. “But I’d much rather you sleep in my bedroom, because it’s at the back of the condo. If something happens, the guestroom is the first line of defense. Is that all right with you?”

I can only nod.

We go inside. He carries the two leather duffel bags I packed. His place is clean, masculine, and simple. Black leather sofa, dark wood coffee table and entertainment system. There are no artsy touches, only a few photos on side tables and the entertainment system shelves.

He leads me to his bedroom, where he sets the duffels down. There’s a master bathroom off the bedroom, and it’s sparkling clean.

“My housekeeper came today,” he says with a smile. “That’s good luck. Everything’s clean—sheets, towels.”

I run my fingers along the soft, plump white comforter, imagining him shirtless in bed. “That must be an interesting job. Being the housekeeper of the most dangerous man in the world.
