Chapter Fourteen

Grayson checked his watch for the third time. His plane had arrived early and there was no sign of Lauren at the San Francisco airport arrivals hall. Damn, she didn’t even have her cellphone on. He was almost certain she’d done it deliberately.

Behind him, someone cleared their throat. Grayson turned. A tall black-haired woman wearing a chauffeur’s uniform smiled at him.

‘Good evening, sir. I’m Ella. Are you waiting for Ms Redstone?’

Grayson tipped his hat. With the advantage of his height he couldn’t help but notice that his ‘chauffeur’ wore nothing under her jacket but a black silk bra. Her tight black skirt barely covered her butt as well.

‘Yeah, I’m Grayson Turner. I was expecting Ms Redstone to meet me herself.’

‘I apologise, sir. Ms Redstone sends her regrets. She’s in the middle of a meeting.’ Ella offered him a sympathetic smile. ‘I’m to take you to her office in the city.’

Grayson picked up his bag and hoisted it over his shoulder before Ella could make a grab for it. Fine. Lauren was too busy to meet him. He’d imagined wrapping his arms around her as she rushed into his embrace in countless lustful dreams. He stared back at the arrivals gate. Perhaps it would be better if he just went home.

Ella hovered at his elbow, her expression politely puzzled. ‘Are you coming, sir?’

‘Obviously not as soon as I hoped,’ Grayson murmured as he followed her out of the airport into the balmy San Francisco evening. Ella led him to a black Mercedes limo parked just outside. Someone must have clout to get that parking place. What was Lauren trying to do? Scare him off?

Grayson grinned as he got into the back of the limo. Lauren obviously had no idea who she was playing with. It might be amusing to find out what else she planned for his so-called entertainment. His smile died as the purring limo engine increased its speed and left the airport complex behind. Had Lauren regretted the intensely sexual nature of their weekend together? He couldn’t allow himself to forget that she’d run away from him once before.

After they exited the crowded freeway he watched the familiar shadowed streets of the city as they were swallowed up by the limo. The view of San Francisco coming in from the airport wasn’t one to sing about. Whoever his driver was, she sure knew her way around the congested traffic. He glanced at the back of her head. Her long black hair hung like a heavy curtain down to her waist. She caught his eye in the mirror and gave him an assessing smile.

Grayson winked and she flicked her gaze away. The limo stopped in front of one of the high-rise buildings on Montgomery Street and he unbuckled his seat belt. He waited until the chauffeur came around and opened his door before collecting his bag and stepping out.

It was quiet in the dead way office space gets on a late Friday afternoon. He knew the area well. His old company had held office space in the building across the street.
