CHAPTER EIGHT

THAT FUCKING CLOSET was going to haunt him for the rest of his retched life.

Jared couldn’t even hang up his suit coat in his office this morning without his dick getting hard—a situation that would become problematic if he didn’t do something about it.

Like find that woman and bring her home for the night, tie her to the bed, and show her exactly what she’s been missing out on her whole life.

Jared sighed. He was the one missing out. Last night he’d let her walk away without a fight, and now he’d probably never see her again.

Maybe it was for the best.

Behind those seductive hazel eyes, that woman was a deep vault of secrets. Nothing about her was innocent, and with everything else going on in his life right now, Jared didn’t need that kind of trouble.

But God, how I want it…

Sipping his coffee, Jared stood before his fortieth-floor office windows and took in the view, a vast sea of skyscrapers that stretched from his building in Tribeca up to the northern edge of Manhattan. In the distance, the top of the Chrysler Building gleamed beneath a gorgeous sapphire-blue sky, making it nearly impossible for his foul mood to linger.

At least she didn’t walk away with the Whitfield.

“Rough night, mate?” Evan Drake, Jared’s business partner and best friend, barged into his office with the usual lack of decorum. “You look like hell.”

“And you look like someone who thinks he can show up without an appointment.”

“So rude, right?” Evan made himself at home, kicking back in Jared’s leather executive chair. “Yet you never make good on those threats to fire me.”

Jared scrubbed a hand over his face. “Bit of a long night, is all.”

Long was an understatement. Trouble or not, the woman from the auction had gotten to him. Badly. No matter how many cold showers and stiff drinks later, he couldn’t get her out of his system. Even a morning run around lower Manhattan couldn’t clear his head. The feel of her velvety skin, the sounds she’d made as she writhed in his arms, the taste of her still lingering on his lips… He’d taken charge of her pleasure. Commanded her, just like she’d wanted. But everything about her had invaded his senses, and now he couldn’t get her out of his mind.

The memories of their rendezvous made his cock strain against his pants.

“What’s her name?” Evan asked. When Jared didn’t respond, Evan laughed. “I’ve known you since your first wank, Blackwell. You think I don’t recognize your morning-after look? Must’ve been one hell of a row.”

“Stop talking,” Jared said, “unless you’re looking for a severance package.”

Evan laughed again. “You know I’m right.”

Of course he was right. They’d grown up together in Bristol; their families had been chums for a century. When Jared finished business school in New York and told Evan about his plans, Evan didn’t ask questions. He simply booked the next flight from Heathrow to JFK.

And together, from their humble beginnings in a shite Chelsea storefront
