Nodding, she clamps her hands together in front of her waist. “That would be great.”
Stroking my jaw, I let my eyes stay firmly on hers. “And what do I get out of this? What are you going to do for me to keep this little secret of yours?”
“It’s not just my secret, it’s yours too.”
“No.” I take another step toward her, she holds her ground. We’re toe to toe, so close I can smell the lavender shampoo in her hair. It heats my core, making my stomach knot and my balls draw up against my body. I want her so fucking bad it’s killing me. “I don’t give a shit who knows we fucked last night. It was just sex, Misty, like you said. But, if you want me to keep my mouth shut, maybe you need to make it worth my while.”
“Yeah, no thanks. We had our fun, and now it’s over. I’m just asking for some discretion, that’s it.”
Chuckling, I thumb my bottom lip and smirk. “You do realize I’m your boss now, right?”
She folds her arms across her chest, kicking her hip out as she glares up at me. “That’s not how this is going to work, Nick.” Her lips curl down, and her pupils turn to pin pricks.
“But it’s the truth. You had your first assignment last night, now I have a new one for you.”
Misty’s about to go off on me, it’s written all over her face that I just pissed her off. Her nose crinkles in the center, her brows drop hard, her lips thin. Growling, she throws up her hand, and I ready myself for a slap.
“Oh, there you two are!” Vanessa yells from the door, running up to us. “I just got a call from Lewis up in the New Hampshire—”
Cutting her off, I smile confidently. “It’s all taken care of,” I say, resting a hand on my chest. “He called me earlier, that’s who I was talking to, and I didn’t want to worry you. It’s all set. Tomorrow, Misty and I are going to head up there and take care of everything.”
Misty’s body stiffens as her head slowly twists back in my direction. Vanessa lets out a big gust of air as she rests anxious hands on her knees.
“Oh, thank God. I had no idea how I was going to get up there, because this definitely can’t wait.” She grabs Misty and hugs her. “Thank you, you’re a life saver, you know that?” Pushing out her arms, Vanessa has a warm smile on her face. “I’ll get you all the information I have so far on the place.”
“Van—”
“Perfect,” I chime in, not giving Misty a chance to back out. “We’ll leave in the morning. I’ll pick you up at nine.” Taking out my phone, I slip a finger across the screen. “What’s your number? I’ll text you mine, and you can send me your address.”
“How about I just meet you here at nine, I think that’ll work better for me.”
She’s avoiding giving me anything more than her name. And I’m lucky to even have that. If luck wasn’t in the cards for me, she’d just be a face in my memory, and a body I’d never forget. But, I do have her name, I stole it without her permission.
“Have it your way, just don’t be late,” I say. I’ll let her have this one, she can take the lead, and I’ll just follow.
Because by the time I’m done with her, she’ll be begging me to fuck her.

Misty
I can’t believe I’m doing this.
Looking over the clothes I have out on the bed, I think I have everything I’ll need, so I pack them in my suitcase. I’m regretting agreeing to this. I’m going to be in a car with Nick for over four hours. Just us, no one else.
No one else. My stomach clenches at the thought, filling with butterflies.
Zipping up my suitcase, I glance in the mirror as I walk by. Picking up the lip gloss off my dresser, I spread it over my lips, and smile.
Here we go.
I’m not sure what to expect on this trip, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m a little bit nervous. Our night together is all I can think about. It was incredible. His hands were rough, his mouth greedy, his cock hard as steel as he drove in deep. . .
I’m wet just thinking about it. How am I going to survive this?
Pulling up the handle on my suitcase, I roll it to the curb and hail a cab. The entire ride to the bakery to meet Nick my belly is getting hotter and hotter, my hands are clammy, and I feel sick to my stomach.
The taxi slows, and as I open the door and look up, he’s leaning against the building with his foot up against the wall.
