CHAPTER ELEVEN
Khloe
MY BODY IS blissfully sore, my mind still a bit woozy from that glorious climax, but I’m not complaining. I loved every minute of it. I stretch out my legs in the passenger seat as Will drives us to town. The windows are down, and I breathe in all the fragrant scents from the local foliage and blossoming flowers. I slowly turn my head his way, take in his freshly shaven face. It’s late morning, and he’s dressed in cargo shorts and a T-shirt. He suggested I dress in casual clothes and wear comfortable footwear, yet he never said where we were going. Not that I care. I’d go bungee jumping if it meant getting away from that mutinous vacuum cleaner.
I sigh contentedly and rest my head against the leather seat. It’s odd how comfortable I am with Will after such a short time. Yeah, okay, so he’s an asshole. At least, according to Steph. Although, outside of scolding me for my appearance and tardiness, he’s been pretty decent. But of course, I can’t forget he admitted he’s a cheater. And when it comes right down to it, I don’t really know him. It’s possible he only took care of me when I was sick because his granddad would kill him otherwise.
Do you really believe that, Khloe?
I’m not sure. He did ask me to be exclusive for the next few weeks. I said yes in the heat of the moment, but do I expect him to keep it in his pants? Not really, and I don’t care one way or the other. I have no ownership over him, and vice versa. We’re just having fun. Things will go back to normal when we return home.
“We’re a long way from New York,” I say, pulling my phone from my bag to shoot a picture, then send it off to Steph. After I’d left James’s mansion, I texted her to tell her about the job. She was both thrilled and worried for me, but I assured her I could handle any entitled millionaire. And handle him I did. I snicker quietly.
Will’s hand slides across the seat and gives mine a squeeze, and I turn my attention to him as he drives.
“What are you doing?”
“Sending a picture to my best friend.”
“Khloe, no one is supposed to know you’re here in Saint Thomas.”
As his brow furrows, panic invades my gut. Shit, I’d forgotten all about that in the nondisclosure agreement. I wasn’t supposed to give away the location. There’s nothing I can do to get the picture back.
“I’m sorry, Will. She’s trustworthy. She won’t tell anyone.” Worry creeps into his eyes, and a chill goes up my spine.
“I understand that, but things have a way of getting out.”
He’s not wrong about that. “Am I fired?”
He winks at me. “Not this time, okay. But if you break the rules again...”
There’s a teasing note in his voice, but beneath it I understand he’s serious. His life had been put under a microscope, and it was a horrible invasion of privacy that resulted in a lot of loss.
