I wasn't offended that Vik hadn't used the plans I drew up. I knew he was stubborn. But I had a few ideas of how to improve on his design and made a mental note to draw up the changes. I wondered if he would lend me a copy of the plans. This isn't the time, Elijah John. Let it go for now.

Chapter 37

Delilah

With the plans for Midnight clearly lined up and being executed beautifully, Viktor had agreed that we could all move into the apartment upstairs before the downstairs was completed. I didn’t think it was really fair to call it an apartment, but nothing else really fit. The entire second floor had been remodeled into a four bedroom, four and a half bathroom condo. The common area was beautiful, with a beige sectional that made an extended U in the middle of the space. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom attached for privacy. This was designed to ensure that I couldn’t be forced into anything I didn’t want. I had my own bedroom with a lock on the door. And there was an extra bedroom for storage or whatever.

At my suggestion, Viktor even had two different studies put in. One where he could take care of Maxwell Industries and one where Eli could focus on Strain Corp.

Eli wasn’t too excited about staying there with construction going on during the day, so he had only been staying in his room on the weekends when the crew had been off. It messed up our schedule, but I was determined to make it work. If it was my time with Eli, I would just go to him at his place. If we had an argument, I could either take a bus back home or call Viktor to pick me up. It didn’t happen very often.

With the issue at the warehouse, we’d all ended up back at Midnight. I wanted to ask a ton of questions about the whole thing, but I already knew that neither Eli nor Viktor would tell me what was going on. I tossed my shoes in my room and came back to catch the end of a hushed conversation.

“Technically your time with her starts at midnight, but if you want to chase down leads on this, I’m happy to entertain our girl a little longer,” Viktor whispered. I did my best to keep my expression neutral. I didn’t want them to know that I could hear everything they were saying. But I knew that Eli wouldn't be pleasant company if he was distracted, so I let them talk.

“That’s probably a good idea for a while. I need to see what I can find out. Give me a couple of hours,” Eli replied in a hushed tone.

“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you two were up to something,” I said loudly as I walked over and flopped onto the couch.

“Not at all, love. Just figuring out the best place to start looking for answers. I’m going to get some work done. You can hang out with Vik if you want, or you can wait for me.” Eli looked at me expectantly. I wasn’t sure what he wanted me to say.

“I’ll let Viktor entertain me for a bit, but don’t waste all of our time,” I warned teasingly.

Eli walked over and kissed me hard before walking away. He went into his room and closed the door. If I hadn’t heard their conversation, I might think that he was upset with me and trying to pawn me off.

Viktor walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me. “So what shall we do while you wait for Eli?” He licked his bottom lip and my knees got weak.

“I have some ideas. Come with me.” I grabbed his hand and led him to his room, leaving my room between us and Eli. It wasn’t fair for him to hear what was about to happen if he was too preoccupied to participate.

Once the door was closed, I grabbed Viktor’s hand and pulled him toward the bed. He cooperated to see what I was doing. I backed him up against the edge and gave him a little shove. He sat down on the edge of the bed and watched as I started to strip. I took my sweater off and my leggings, then stood in front of him in my matching blue lace bra and thong.

He groaned and reached for me. I stepped back, shaking my head. “Not yet.” He nodded and put his hands back on the bed. I grabbed his shirt and started unbuttoning it. He was clearly impatient and tried to help until I slapped his hands away.

I removed his shirt and undershirt, then his pants. I wondered if I would ever see him in anything but dress clothes. He was always wearing a button down and slacks. It was sexy, but I preferred him naked. There was something primal about the way he was looking at me, as if he wanted to devour me.

I returned his look, admiring his chiseled body as he sat on the edge of the bed in nothing but his boxer briefs that did nothing to hide his enormous hard on. I stepped closer and he didn’t move. He had finally accepted that I was in control right now.

I grabbed the waistband of his boxer briefs and slid them down. He growled as I released his erection, allowing my still covered breasts to glide against it. I looked up at him quickly before taking him into my mouth. I was certain there was no way I’d get it all in. He was just too big. But I was determined to try. Especially since the last time I had offered, he’d turned me away. That rejection still stung. I was determined to make him regret it.

He groaned as his cock entered my mouth again. I could tell he was having trouble holding back. I wouldn’t have much time before he decided to take over and pound me. I continued sucking him, then stopped to tease him with my tongue. I was trying to push him over the edge, but his stubborn need to be in control kept him from giving in.

Viktor growled at me again before flipping me onto the bed and climbing on top of me. Before he could even get my undies off, the door flew open and Eli barged in. I wouldn’t have minded, but the look on his face killed Viktor’s erection.

I had no idea what had just happened, but suddenly Viktor was getting dressed and following Eli into the other room. When I was alone in my room, I let out a sigh of frustration. "What the fuck just happened?"

It looked like the guys were going to be hiding the details of what had happened at the docks from me as much as possible. They didn’t think I could handle being involved in a murder investigation. I didn’t want to know everything, but I wanted to feel included.

Chapter 38

Eli

I hated interrupting Delilah’s time with Viktor, even if I was jealous that it wasn’t me with her. I wouldn't have, but I needed him to see what I had found.

I managed to discover proof that the mayor’s son, who’d been killed, had been involved in the robberies at both my company and Vik’s. It seemed as if he was working for someone, though, and the trail just dead ended. I needed another set of eyes on the data.

"What the fuck just happened?" Delilah asked as we walked away, leaving her on Vik’s bed by herself. She would probably be mad at both of us for this.

“You know I wouldn’t have interrupted if it wasn’t important,” I offered, ignoring Delilah’s irritation.
