“Prepared how?”An icy shiver runs down my spine.
He rubs his lips together as he glances to the side, and without a sliver of doubt, I know he’s about to lie to me.
“How do you feel about me buying you out?For the remainder of your agreement.I’ll have the funds put into your account, and you don’t need to be involved anymore,” Drew offers, and I blink in surprise.
Buy me out.
Just like that.
And disappear.Like a problem solved.
Why would he do that?
“And the ten percent?”I ask to understand his offer in totality.
His jaw clenches and nostrils flare.“I can’t change that.But...give me time to look at it.”
My senses turn to high alert.
“Why?”I demand.“Am I that useless that I’m no value to you?Did you decide that while we were flying around the country, but you wanted to fuck me one last night?”
His hand tightens on my hip, the other sliding around my waist.“No, Gemma.It has nothing to do with that.It’s—”
He takes a moment to create another lie.
“I’m distracted by you.”His eyes land on mine.“I can’t do what is needed when I’m wanting my cock deep inside your wet pussy all fucking day long.”
Okay, well, that’s not a lie; I can see the truth of that written all over his face.But it’s not the full truth.
Unfortunately, my body softens and presses against his chest without my permission, and our lips press together.
A deep groan escapes him, or maybe it’s me.
“See my point?”He growls.
“Yes, but we can be professional.I want to be involved.”
Drew lets out a short laugh.“I don’t think we can.I’m not sure I’d ever want to stop fucking you.”
Whoa.
He blinks as we both take in his words, which I have a feeling slipped out.I want to tell him I feel the same.I could have sex with this man every day for a year and not have enough.But that...that sort of confession means something.Something neither of us truly means.
Right?
His fingers thread through my hair.“Our insane chemistry aside, I have some key moves to make, and when the time is right, I will share some information with you.”
What information?
I frown and move back an inch.“What do—”
“Mommy, you’re home!”Zoe comes zipping into the room like a freight train as Drew and I step apart abruptly.
“Hey, baby girl.”I crouch as she slams into me, almost knocking me over.
Drew’s hand steadies me.
“Hello.”
