Dirty Little Secrets CHAPTER 91
AIDENThat look was far too fucking attitude-filled for my liking. And that smirk on her pink lips. Damn.I left my guitar leaning against my chair and got up, following her out the door. Having dinner alone my ass—there wasn’t a chance in hell she was gonna do that. I was going to follow her ass through this hotel and up to her room because I wanted to. Besides, with the others not around, it was the perfect chance to pull some of that past of hers out of her, to make her talk.I wanted to hear her talk.You don’t run from one night of abuse. That much is painstakingly clear.“Hey, sugar,” I drawled, leaning on the receptionist’s desk.“Mr. James.” She glanced up through her hair.“C’mon, now, I’ve told you to call me Aiden . . .” My eyes flicked to her badge. “Tracey.”She blushed. “How can I help you, Aiden?”“I can’t seem to get hold of my assistant on the phone, and she’s sick. I know she’s in her room. I’m real worried about her. What are the chances of you givin’ me her room ke

She slapped my bicep with the back of her fingers. “My voice is pretty? For real, Casanova? That the best you got?”I tugged on a lock of her hair. “I’m tryin’ to be nice here, which is, again, somethin’ most chicks don’t get. Give me a chance, all right?”“But if I did that, I’d be one of those dumb chicks you associate with.”“True story that, darlin’. Although I ain’t doin’ that for now. I’m being good. Except for that chick at reception.” I brushed my fingers down Elena’s jaw. “I had to agree to buy her a drink before she’d give me your room card.”“Hmm,” she hummed. “I wondered how you swindled that one.”“I’m a regular Romeo.”“Seems it. Are you sure this dinner isn’t getting in the way of meeting Ms. Receptionist?”“Nah, I don’t have to grace her with my awesome presence until tomorrow evening.”“What time?”“She didn’t say.”“Shame. You’re busy all evening, practicing, per your manager’s orders.” Elena smiled and sipped her wine. “Part of his plan to keep you on the straight a

ELENAI grabbed five water bottles from the bar, charged them to the James account, and hopped into the elevator. My arms chilled quickly against the ice-cold bottles, and I was thankful when the doors opened and I could run down the hall to the gym.I bumped the door open with my butt. “Water.”The guys all looked up from the floor where they were completing push-ups. “You’re a doll,” Titus said, getting up.Aiden, Bray, and Conor each grabbed a bottle from me and then they all dropped to the mats on the floor. Aiden held the cold bottle against his forehead, while Bray rolled it back and forth across his chest, and Conor drunk it quickly.Titus stared at them, still standing, and cut his eyes to me. “Bunch o’ pussies.”“Fuck off,” Aiden replied immediately. “You did half as many push-ups as us. Kept stoppin’ ’cause your lil baby arms couldn’t take the pressure.”“Shut it or my lil baby fist will meet your face, asshole.”I coughed and smiled sweetly when four pairs of eyes snapped t

I opened my mouth, but closed it again seconds later. Purse my lips. Licked my lips. “Well, I don’t not like it.”Chloe’s eyes flicked from the cheesecake to me several times, her lips twitching. “So like it some more. And, Elena? You’ve been a lot happier the last few days. Like . . . you’ve come out of that tight little shell you had yourself wrapped in. You’re givin’ the guys as good as you get, and from what Conor said, you gave Charlotte a real ass-kickin’ earlier. You wouldna done that when you got here. Just . . . I dunno, doll. Let whatever happen. It won’t kill either of you, and you sure as hell deserve some fun.”I guess she was right. I was just not sure Aiden James was the right kind of fun. In fact, I was positively sure he was the worst kind of fun. Not least because we essentially lived together for the next few weeks. What if . . . what if I like the man behind the mask and, as soon as his bad behavior quarantine is over, he grabs some random chick?“Fucking shit.” Ai
Dirty Little Secrets CHAPTER 95
AIDENI caught her keys in the palm of my hand and my grin widened. Damn—she didn’t look like she was pinned against a wall less than five minutes ago. Clearly I was not kissin’ her fuckin’ hard enough.I meant every damn word I said to her, though. Tracy who? Who the fuck was that chick I just wasted forty-five minutes with? She was never getting into my hotel room anyway, and that was before Elena sat across the restaurant with Chloe and consumed my every thought.Because—fuck. This girl was killing me. And not in a good way. I wasn’t lying when I said I’d be inside her by the time we leave Atlanta. I would fuck her within days. I couldn’t not. I already broke all the working-for-me rules a million times by being incapable of not kissing her.So, yeah, I was gonna fuck her. I was gonna kiss her and worship her body, and I was gonna fuck her until she succumbed to overwhelming pressure.I slid onto the chair next to Elena, grabbed her fork, and put some of her cake in my mouth. She g

ELENA“Are you insane? I can’t go for dinner with Aiden!”Chloe ran her teeth over her bottom lip. “You kind of have to. The table is booked. I just kinda . . . beat him to this information.”“What!” I stared at her. What? “No. I’m not doing it. I’m not going out with him.”I walked into the small kitchen area and turned on the coffee machine. I didn’t even want coffee. I just wanted something to distract me.Dinner with Aiden James? Like a date dinner? Or even just dinner dinner?No. No. No. No.“Okay, in my defense, I spoke to him two hours ago and I thought he’d already asked you,” she sighed. “But, Elena, it’s just dinner. Maybe he wants to talk . . . business.”“Oh, you know that is not true!” I raised my eyebrows and pointed at her. “He cannot be alone with me without invading my personal space and his tongue getting all up and personal with mine!”Chloe paused, then hid a giggle behind her hand. “In private. In public he might be a little more . . . reserved.”“Really?” I gripp

“Charlotte, Milka is nappin’. Go upstairs and watch her while Chloe comes down,” Ajay ordered.“I’m not a babysitter, Ajay. I’m here to supervise.”“And this is a family matter,” he said firmly. “And when it comes down to anythin’ safety, I don’t give a shit if you’re the queen of the North fuckin’ Pole, I’m in charge. Chloe needs to be here. All the Brothers need to be here. My whole damn team needs to be here. You don’t. You can be briefed. Now get upstairs.”The room filled with large, burly men all dressed in black, with wires running from their ears to their belts. Charlotte opened her mouth to argue, but inevitably turned and walked upstairs.Not a good week for her.Or me, mind you.I closed my eyes briefly, and Aiden pressed his mouth to the top of my head. He was shaking, too. His arms, so tight around me, were trembling against me in a feeling that was both surreal and confusing. His lips puckered and he dropped a silent kiss to my hair. My fingers winded tightly into his sh

AIDENShe took a deep breath and fisted my shirt tighter. “Then don’t be gentle,” she breathed. “Gentle won’t wash him away.”My fingers curled around the back of her neck. “Are you sayin’ what I think you’re sayin’?”Her lips parted, but she nodded her head. “Replace him with you. Right now.”She had no fucking idea—I’ll replace him, all right. I’ll replace every damn inch of him in her head, and I’ll get so under her skin she’ll forget he ever put bruises there.I brought her face close to mine, my cock already throbbing, and hovered my mouth above hers. “Darlin’, by the time I’m done with you, I swear to fuckin’ God there’ll be no other guy under your skin but me.”“I’m counting on it.”I crushed my lips to hers. She responded in kind, letting go of my shirt to circle her hands around the back of my neck. She was so fucking soft beneath me. Every touch of hers was like the kiss of a feather, and every single one was more fucking addictive than the last.She leaned towards the sofa,
