I admit, watching Ella punch that mannequin, taking back her power, yelling, and screaming in the store was sexy as hell. It turned me on.
Then spending so much of my money?
She can spend every penny of mine, but now I have to fuck her to punish her, deliciously.
“Balor?” Eoghan nudges me.
“What?” I ask him, shifting my legs.
“Your knuckles are white?” He frowns. “Something wrong?”
“Balor?” Kieran calls out to me.
“I’m fine.” I turn back to Eoghan. “Can Jillian come by my house? I want her to meet my new assistant who’ll be...” I stop when jaws tip open all around me.
“Assistant?” Lachlan crows.
“I’ll get to that.” I wave off the curious gapes and return to Eoghan. “I want Jillian to work with her, she’s privy to the weapons project and can help with the patent filings. We toured the chip facility yesterday.”
“You got stuck Upstate in the snowstorm until late at night.” Eoghan cocks his head. “Was thatassistantwith you?”
“Aye, and Trace,” I say to get him off my back.
Kieran covers his face. “The weapon patents, Balor.”
“I have the final specs from the manufacturer. Jillian can update the patent applications.”
“Balor, I’m not Jillian’s secretary,” Eoghan pushes back. “If you want a meeting with her, call her yourself.”
“You’ve changed your tune about her now that you’re married,” I scoff. “You acted like you owned her and controlled every facet of her life a month ago.”
“That’s how I got her to marry me. Now I can dial things back.” Eoghan smiles.
At least I haven’t gone off the rails the way Eoghan did with Jillian. He’s lucky he didn’t get arrested for the shit he pulled with her.
Even if it worked.
I don’t have to go all psycho stalker with Ella.
She wants me. I want her, too, but I’m blocked. I’m stuck. Chained to the only way I know how to be with a woman. No feelings. No strings.
Being with Ella every day these last couple of weeks and not being able to touch her has the emptiness gnawing at me. I can call my service any time. Any second. Right fucking now, and have a beautiful, sexy woman sucking my cock in ten minutes.
Only every time my dick gets hard, I think of Ella. And it’s her cunt I imagine when I jerk off.
Fuck, I’m in trouble.
“Whatever,” I snap at Eoghan. “I’ll call your wife.”
Eoghan’s lips twitch. “Never mind. I’ll do it.” He stands up and leaves the office.
He’s too fucking easy, but I’m thinking he’s using this as an opportunity to have phone sex with her. Those two are addicted animals.
“How is this new assistant working out?” Riordan asks, breaking me from my thoughts of Eoghan.
“Fine, but I have something more important to announce.” I stand up to take command of this meeting. “I found Iceman.”
My words wipe the perpetual grin right off Lachlan’s face. “Where?”
