Chapter Six

CJ

Asher was coming home from work late, and I was waiting anxiously for him. In the heat of the moment, when my mom was over for dinner, I had forgotten to tell her the most important thing – that Sophie was “carrying” Asher’s child. I wanted to tell my mother the truth, that Asher wasn’t really the father of her baby, but a visit from Viktor Kazakov earlier in the day silenced me on that.

He appeared right when I got into the apartment in the morning. I had spent the night at the old place, because Scarlett and I stayed up and talked long into the night, and our talk went on until dawn. We got a lot of things cleared up, and I was feeling better. Then, in the morning, Scarlett went to work and I went to my new place with Asher. I had taken the week off of work so that I could get settled in, and I was really happy that my new job allowed this.

I got home, and started to put my clothes in my new, enormous closet, marveling that the closet was the size of my bedroom at home. Maybe even a bit bigger. Then I got on the phone to call the movers. While I was on the phone, I walked into the living room and saw a tall, and extremely handsome, man.

I could feel my eyes getting wide, and my hand was shaking as I watched him. He was well-dressed, with sandy blonde hair and green eyes. He was as tall as Asher. He just stood there in the living room, looking around. He picked up various items, such as vases and knick-knacks, and looked at them while I talked to the moving people.

I finally got off the phone and I approached him. “Hello,” I said. “May I help you?” I probably shouldn’t have led with that. A better question would be what the hell are you doing here? But I decided that a little decorum was in order with this man.

He nodded his head slightly. “Hello,” he said. “Are you CJ Parker?”

“CJ Sloane,” I corrected him. It still felt weird, extremely weird, to say that my last name was “Sloane.” “May I help you?”

“CJ Sloane. Forgive me. My mistake.”

The two of us just stood there in the living room, looking at one another. He seemed to be examining me, almost. “I’m Viktor Kazakov,” he finally said to me.

That’s when I almost understood why he was there in Asher’s apartment. “Oh. Hello.” I kept my distance, very nervous to make even a step closer to him. I was frightened, to be sure, because he was a strange man who just let himself in without even asking permission. I didn’t know what he wanted with me, but I had an idea.

“Are you going to show some hospitality?” he asked me. “I could certainly use a stiff scotch.”

I blinked and nervously asked him how he took his scotch.

“Neat,” he said. “You know what
