Chapter Seventeen

It was nearly midnight and Felix was again pacing the floor of his office, this time, pen in hand as he read over the words he’d written. They weren’t right. Nothing was right.

He’d fucked up, kissing Skye. Now he knew what she tasted like. He knew how soft her lips were and how hot her breath was and how her hands felt tangled in his hair.

He knew what she sounded like when she moaned.

“Shit,” he muttered, his fist closing around the ratted sheet of paper.

Waking from the dream and finding her so close, seeing the sweetness in her eyes when she looked at him, it was just too much. She was a fucking light among a shit ton of darkness. Darkness he was trying to come to terms with, without the help of his beast. He wanted to grab onto her and all that good shit she contained. He wanted to let it grow between them, and spread through his soul like an antidote to the poison his father left him with.

The way he was drawn to her still, the way he lost control… he thought leashing his animal would keep this very thing from happening.

A knock on the door had him frozen in place. If it was Skye…

“Boss, you in there?” Skittles’s voice was a welcome shot to the heart. If Skye’d been on the other side of that door, he wasn’t sure what he would have done.

“Yeah, come in.”

Felix resumed his pacing, not wanting to see that knowing glint in the Firecat’s eyes. He knew he wasn’t fooling them. They knew he was fucking struggling, but he didn’t have to admit it.

“I found three potential properties for the new Doll House, all within our budget. Real estate lady thinks we can get a fast sale on this first one, but look through and see what you think.” Skittles dropped a folder on the desk and turned to face Felix, essentially cutting off his pacing route.

“You work fast,” he muttered, coming to a stop. He crossed his arms over his chest to keep from fidgeting with the pen. “I’ll give them a look tonight.”

“Night’s mostly over now.” Skittles smirked, and Felix returned it with a scowl.

“Fine, I’ll give it a look when I damn well please. How’s that?” He pushed past the man and settled in the desk chair, shoving the folder aside and trying to rein in his emotions. It wouldn’t do for any of the guys to see him like this. Especially Skittles.

“You living here now?” Skittles asked, looking around.

Felix grunted a reply. Someday he would have to officially move out of his place.

“Thought you were going to take the spare room.”

Felix shrugged, wishing Skittles would just leave. Instead, he settled his ass at the edge off the desk.

“Doesn’t feel quite right, does it? Being separated from your girl at night?” His voice was serious, all smirking aside.

“It feels like shit.” Felix wasn’t sure why he gave the cat even that much information. It just slipped out.
