Chapter Four

Jack stared out the window and took in the night skyline. He stared down over his city and sighed. At two-thirty in the morning he should be sleeping but he couldn’t. All his thoughts were on Neela and what she was doing tonight. Had she gotten back home yet?

She’d been his personal assistant for eighteen months now and had settled in better than he’d hoped she would. Hell, she’d even taken some of the load off Ms. Donna. Neela had a sharp mind and didn’t have any issue in giving him a piece of it when she felt he was deserving.

Which, according to her was quite often. She kept business, business but when work was over, she rocked his world. Never asking for more than right then.

Problem was, he wanted more. Other problem? She seemed content with how things were between them.

He wanted it all. He’d already tried to figure a way to have her for himself during the holidays but couldn’t find a viable excuse. Last year he’d been on his own but this time he wanted her around.

He and Toby took care of their employees and gave them the holidays off. It didn’t make sense for him to now demand she spends the time with him, just because he wanted to be with her.

Palm against the cool glass, he closed his eyes and tried his best not to think of Paulson having waited up for her. She told him there wasn’t anything between them but he wasn’t a fool, he had seen the way the man looked at her.

His phone was in his hand before he knew it and had dialed her.

“Someone better be dead or dying if you’re calling me right now,” she mumbled into the phone.

Fuck, even just hearing her voice was a balm to his wounded ego and temperament.

“Making sure you made it home okay.”

“I made it home fine, and two hours ago which is why I was sleeping. Why aren’t you? And if this is for me to play your girlfriend to get some woman out of your place, ain’t happening, you bring them home, you are the one to get rid of the fleas.”

His smile grew bigger. He loved how her southern accent peeked through when she was tired or pissed off.

“I don’t have a woman here. I just got home like you did.”

“No, I didn’t just get home. I’ve been home. Sleeping. Big difference.”

“And now you’re awake.”

“Going back to sleep.”

“Wait.” He winced at the desperation he heard in his own tone.

“Mmm?”

“Get a bite with me.”

“You want to get some food? At this hour? Can’t your automated housekeeper fix you something?”

“I’ll be by in twenty minutes.” Jack hung up before she could argue with him on this.

On the dot, twenty minutes later, she walked out of the front door to the apartment complex she lived in and headed toward him. He held his tongue until she slid in the passenger seat of his Bugatti.

She yawned and rubbed her eyes as the belt moved into place around her body.
