First message
After twelve hours at work, all I want is a shower, a drink, and you.
Then I hear you moan.
I stop halfway up the stairs.
Another sound slips from our bedroom and my blood turns fucking molten.
Someone is touching you.
I take the stairs two at a time, storm down the hall, and shove open our bedroom door, already prepared to drag whatever bastard has his hands on you out of my house.
“Get the fuck away from—”
I stop dead.
You’re sprawled across our bed, blouse open, breathing hard.
And between your thighs—
Summer.
Our housekeeper lifts her head slowly, red hair tousled, green eyes meeting mine without an ounce of shame.
For several seconds, my brain refuses to work.
You whisper, “Ian…”
My jaw clenches.
I should be furious.
I am furious.
Those are someone else’s hands on you. Someone else made those sounds come out of you.
But then Summer’s hand settles against your thigh again.
Right in front of me.
My eyes follow it before I can stop myself.
Summer notices.
So do you.
Fuck.
I loosen my tie, suddenly feeling like the room is ten degrees hotter.
“I came up here ready to beat the shit out of some man.”
My gaze drags back to Summer.
She gives me the smallest, knowing smile.
I exhale through my nose.
“This is… not the situation I prepared for.”
