Beauty Submits To Her Beast (20 page)
He lifted a brow. “You don’t approve? What happened to the shark?”
“This wasn’t a normal takeover, and you know it. I did this as a favor.” She stood and stared down her perfectly straight nose at him. “You owe me, Hunter.”
He sighed and spun the pen he held around his fingers. “Yeah, I do. Think she’ll come?”
She laughed low in her throat. “Rylee Kincaid is going to charge in here, and frankly, you deserve whatever hell she gives you.” She grinned. “I should go into acting. Played a most convincing bitch.”
Hunter rolled his eyes and tossed the pen back onto his desk. “Got news for you, Glorie. It comes naturally, and you don’t need your whips or your Domme leathers.” She was a scary woman,
especially
when she was in Domme mode.
“You’d best hope I don’t turn it on you. You might be my friend and partner, but this…” Shaking her head, she gathered her briefcase and purse. “Not like you to take a woman’s rejection to heart, Hunter. What’s so special about Rylee Kincaid?”
He stood and wandered to the corner window. Fog obscured the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance. “It’s complicated.” He remembered that one, perfect weekend in collage. He’d found heaven with Rylee Kincaid and taking his pleasure with her had sent him straight to hell.
“Heard that before. I hope—”
The buzz of his intercom interrupted Glorie. He stabbed the button. “Yes?”
“Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Finnegan, but there’s a Rylee Kincaid here. She’s insisting on seeing you.”
Hunter grinned. The bait had been taken, and the trap sprung. “Wait ten minutes, and then send her in.”
“You’re a bastard, Hunter.”
A smile tugged at his lips. “Yeah, we’re two peas in a pod.”
She rolled her eyes, then narrowed them. “You really believe you can talk her into what you want?”
He rubbed his hands together in anticipation. “She’ll do anything to save her company.” And he’d do anything to make her listen to what he had to say. Memories of spanking her sweet ass ten years ago sent blood humming through him. For three nights and two sex-filled days, she’d been his.
His dick stirred. For ten years, he’d ached for her. Now, she was free, and he planned to claim her. By fair means or foul.
Glorie chuckled. “It will be entertaining and a pleasure to see the mighty Hunter Finnegan fall on his hands and knees for a woman.”
“
I
won’t be the one on my hands and knees.” But he had fallen. Ten long, hellish years ago.
