Tease Me (Private Listing #4)

“No more secrets. Open and honest, but we also need to get to know each other better. Outside of sex.”

I glance up at him and he winks.

“And work,” I add. “We’ve done this all backward. Sex and love, but I don’t know much about any of you outside of the women you guys have shared. I know that you all grew up together.”

“I’m more than willing to divulge some of their secrets.”

I move up so our heads are on the same pillow, face-to-face. “Spill.”

Chapter 145

Deliverable

Coop

I pace my office, waiting for Theo to come in. He sent a text in the middle of the night saying he thought he had a lead on the corporate spy.

My mind is spinning with all the things. Today is our honey trap lunch. Our chance to catch the spy in a legitimate trap. What Theo found might just point us in the correct direction, even if it won’t hold up in court.

I’m also waiting for the stalker to step up his game. He doesn’t like me. He’s made that obvious. It won’t be long before he attacks me, but how is the problem. He hasn’t gotten physical with Madison except to scare her.

But he wants her for some sick game, not to hurt her.

I’m in his way. He might have killed Valerie for getting in his way. If he wants a fight, he should consider me a worthy adversary.

A knock echoes through my office.

“Come in.” I straighten my suit.

“Theo called to ask for an escort up.” Madison stands in my doorframe. Her blond hair falls in soft waves around her shoulders. The dress she has on is a wrap dress, making my fingers itch to grab hold of the tie and unwrap her.

“You can bring him up.” I focus on her red lipstick. Next time we play, I want her to wear that lipstick and smear it all over my cock.

“Be right back.” She turns on her heels and leaves.

Fuck, she distracts me. She distracts all of us in the best possible way. She won’t work as our assistant forever. At some point we’ll have taken her as far as she can go in our business and she’ll go off to a new adventure, but we’ll still be with her. Madison is ours, and I’ll do what it takes to keep her bound to us.

My phone buzzes.

Mother:

Saw the announcement. You need to call home. Your father and I need to talk to you.

Announcement? I turn to my computer and do a quick search on my name. My eyes widen as I read the article. My hand clenches tighter with each word. What the actual fuck?

“Theo to see you.” Madison’s voice penetrates my brain fog.

“Tell him to wait and come here.” I don’t take my attention off the announcement that I didn’t send in. My phone rings. It’s my publicist. Fuck.

Madison returns.

“Close the door.” I hit Speaker on my phone. “I’m looking at it now, Grant. Tell me you didn’t post this.”

Madison comes around the desk to see what I’m looking at.

“No. We didn’t even get notice before it was posted.” Grant sounds harried. I’m sure my mom’s already been on his case.

“What is this?” Madison’s fingers cover her lips as she squints at the screen.
