Fraud

Tears dry by the time I reach the foyer, I smile at Harrison on my way out.

“What mood is he in now, Miss Callahan?”

“Bright red, Harrison. I’d avoid him for the next few hours.”

“Thank you for the warning,” he chuckles as he opens the door for me. “Please drive carefully, Miss Callahan.

Nodding my head in his direction, I cross the porch and run down the stairs. I feel like an utter failure for not dragging information out of my dad, but that was never the plan. Gabriel knew it was possible he wouldn’t give it to me.

All I have to accomplish now is sound an alarm in my dad’s head, one that might have him making calls and moving players.

Getting the code to his safe is also an added benefit. If there are any records that he doesn’t want people to see, they would be in there.

The drive to Gabriel’s office doesn’t take long. Thankfully traffic is light, and I’m pulling into the underground garage within a half hour. Rather than calling to let him know I’m here, I use the code he gave me for the private elevator in the hopes of surprising him.

I should have known it would be impossible. He’s waiting for me outside the doors as soon as I reach his floor.

“Tracking me again?”

He grins, the curl to his mouth full of mischievous charm. “You make it so easy. Although, I’d love to have a special collar made for you with a tracking chip. Maybe a bell also so people will know when you’re sneaking around and up to no good.”

Gabriel offers me his hand to help me step off the elevator. When he tugs me to him and his mouth covers mine, I momentarily lose the ability to breathe.

Pure heat rolls off his mouth and tongue, his teeth catching my bottom lip in a tease.

“Did he tell you anything?” Gabe asks when he pulls away.

Taking a second for my heart rate to return to normal, I shake my head. “No. He just handed me a new credit card and demanded I return home.”

Planting another soft kiss on my mouth, his green eyes are liquid heat. “Too late for that. Now that I have you, I’m not letting go.”

“Good luck telling him that.”

“That’s the plan, love.”

Gabriel winks and then pulls me along with him deeper into the office. The first door we pass is Ta

“Hold on, Jake. There’s a problem in the office I need to address.”

Ta

Laughing at that, I turn to Gabe. “I’ve never felt so unwelcome.”

He smiles. “Allow me to fix that for you.”

Leading me around a corner, Gabriel’s hand squeezes mine when applause breaks out, the office staff all standing in front of us with their eyes on me. They move out of the way as we approach, my cheeks heating with embarrassment.

“What the hell is this?”

“Thanks for what you did to Ta

Laughter bubbles over my lips just as an arrogant voice booms from the direction of Ta

“That better not be what I think it is! Back to work!”

Everybody claps a little softer as we hear his door slam shut.

Walking me past an office with glass walls, Gabriel lifts my hand and spins me around like a dance, then tugs me backwards into his office before closing the door.

“Which one was Lacey?”

My knees go weak as he sweeps my hair aside and kisses my neck.

“She’s on vacation, which is why Ta

His teeth nip at my shoulder, and if not for his arm around my waist, I would have melted to the floor.

“Benefits package, huh?”

He nods and leads me back to his desk. Without letting me go, he taps a button on his desk, and the windows become opaque.

“Yeah, in fact, I’ve been thinking about a new addition I’ll need added to mine.”

Gabriel’s voice has a rough edge that whispers between my i

“What are you doing?”

“Renegotiating my employment contract,” he says as he sits down in his chair and grips my thighs to spread my legs, his hands sliding up my skirt so he can slip his thumbs beneath the sides of my panties.

I glance over my shoulder at the door. “Someone could walk in.”

“They won’t.” He tugs my panties down so fast that I lift my ass without thinking.

Green eyes capture mine, an arrogant smirk tilting his lips as he slides them down my legs and over my heels.

Slipping the panties in his pocket, he directs my feet to the armrests and scoots his chair closer while grabbing my hips to tug me to the edge of the desk.

Hand splayed over my abdomen, he directs me to lie back, my eyes clenching shut as soon as he leans forward to breathe between my legs.

“Oh, god...”

He chuckles. “There you go praying again.”

My back arches when the tip of his tongue slides up my slit, his lips closing over my clit to suck hard.

Fingers curling over the side of the desk to hold on, I lose my mind when his teeth nip at the sensitive spot, his tongue sliding down to dive inside me with such a slow rhythm that it’s driving me mad.

The entire time, Gabriel keeps control of my hips, the tips of his fingers punishing the soft flesh every time I try to buck against his face for more.

Playfully slapping the side of my ass, he demands, “Stay still. This is for my benefit, not yours.”

Removing my hand from the side of his desk, he places it on his hair. “Pull as hard as you need to.”

I smile at that, but then do exactly as he says when his mouth dives between my legs again, my lips parting on an audible moan while Gabriel practically fucks me with his tongue.

Biting my lip to keep from being loud, I lose the ability when he slips two fingers inside me, his lips trapping my clit again as he thrusts inside me to drag the tips of his fingers over the i

“Fuck, you taste good,” he breathes out, his mouth and hand owning me, an orgasm already coming on from how he works the two in tandem.

When it hits, my eyes clench shut, my body arching while his hot tongue laps at the skin, his fingers thrusting faster to keep the waves of pleasure crashing over and over again.

My breath is caught in my lungs, stars bursting behind my eyes as the orgasm reaches a peak before finally letting go.

“Fucking exquisite,” he growls as he shoves up from his chair, grabs me behind the neck and lifts me up to crash his mouth against mine.

I can taste myself on his tongue, my hands moving to cup his face because he’s been giving every part of himself to me since our last fight at his house.

It’s all I’ve ever wanted from him.

All I’ve needed.

But there’s still a small voice inside me that whispers one last secret I haven’t told him.
