Chapter Fifteen: Valor

No one was in sight when I emerged from my office. I wasn’t exactly sure how soundproof my office was, but Kim could have heard something—a whimper, a whine, me choking. Even silence might be damning.

Making my way around the loop of hallway outside the offices, I struggled to make sense of having been convinced, once again, to do things so contrary to my nature.

I wasn’t interested in men. The blowjob had been voluntary, and yet…

It was like the hotel situation all over again. He convinced me to do things I wouldn’t normally want.

As a woman who was attracted to men, Tarryn could never have withstood him. How could I have blamed her, knowing how insidiously persuasive he could be?

Paul’s office was empty, and so was Nadine’s.

The light of the exit sign shone at the end of the empty back hallway, and I strolled in that direction, even though there was only a storage room at this end. To be thorough, I checked it anyway.

In the other direction, office after office was empty. That wasn’t unusual at this time of night. It had to be after eight, at least.

A movement at the other end of the hall had my breath catching. Loïc drifted out my office door. He’d left his suit jacket behind, and had rolled back his sleeves, exposing his strong, scarred forearms. He looked powerful. Dangerous. Sensual in a way that made me uncomfortable.

“You look disappointed that everyone is gone.” His voice was quiet in the hush, but I still wanted him to shut up. I might have missed someone. They could be listening.

Hell, for all I knew, our offices might be bugged. Real estate development could get political.

“Someone might come back with their takeout or something.”

“Sounds like you’re stalling.”

“No, it’s true. People work all sorts of strange hours here.”

“So, what do you suggest?”

Maybe I should turn him down and ask him to leave. I doubted I’d be making any logical decisions when he was looking at me like a starving wolf.

“We could head to my place.” The words came out as nervously as they had the first time I’d seen Tarryn in fifth grade and I’d asked her to sit with me at lunch.

Was I really going to do this? I still had time to back out. All I needed to do was tell him no. He had said that Tarryn’s safeword would work for all of us, and I even remembered what it was.

He stalked toward me while I held on to the hallway wall, needing support. As eccentric and theatrical as he sometimes behaved, now he was all intensity and barely restrained violence.

“I said we could go to my place,” I repeated, a little louder.

My hand slid along the wall as I tried to back away, and I accidentally held myself in place. I let go and gave in to the urge to fall back.

“It’s not far.”

“I know exactly where it is, and I don’t give a fuck.”

Adrenaline surged through me.

I turned.

I ran.

Why was I running? But once I’d started, I couldn’t stop.
