Definitely not my type

But no et about him as I'd finally laid my head on my pillow to try and snatch a few hours of sleep, he’d been there That ly sneers when there was no cahts My body hadn't cared that he stood for everything I despised All it had wanted to do was iertips and discover if his skin would be just warm or a little bit hot to the touch I had no clue what his voice sounded like, but that hadn't stoppedhim whisper my name as I drove into hiht with fire as he’d clung to iven in to ht except stained sheets and a body that should've been sated but, strangely enough, wasn't

I'd ed to collect ood intentions to be the professional Mike needed un to fall apart when Jude Archer hi area for the first ti His picture hadn't done the man justice Yeah, his features had all been the same and there was that definite air of superiority in the way that heelse too Or maybe I’d just wanted to believe that Maybe I'd wanted to justify why I'd ended up with

I’d wanted to see so that wasn’t really there

Archer hadn’t noticedat all I'd written it off to hi distracted as most people usually hen they were on the phone and filed it under one of the talking points I’d planned to have with him

As I’d waited, I’d considered that as er just a regular person His dalliance with Clifton Hayes had assured that he didn't get to live in oblivion any the old , extortion, blackmail… the list of security threats were endless

I'd ended up taking advantage of Archer’s first absence fro the time to study the space At one point, his assistant had left the suite completely unattended and I'd actually been able to explore Archer’s work area completely uninterrupted His computer had been locked, but there’d been any nu a private bathroo in wait for Archer to return I'd spied the security cameras in the ood twenty un’s clip and not one security person had shown up,area and spent the rest of the afternoon watching the cos of Jude Archer I'd sat and listened to him hued to rein in er The Nikolai Falkov patiencein there

I'd been patient, but not completely unaffected Every ti lected to even rown more and more irritated But as much as I hated to admit it, my irritation hadn’t come from a professional perspective No, it had been all personal My mind and body had been in an endless battle all day over my undeniable attraction for the asshole who probably made more money in a day than I did in a month

"Well?" Mike snapped, reotten lost in the craziness that was Jude Archer had

"It needed to be done," I murmured

"That's it?" Mike practically yelled "You point a gun at the client and get yourself arrested? I don't even knohat the fuck to say to that, Nik!"

I didn't either, but it was the absolute truth Even noouldn't do things differently I just didn't kno to explain that to Mike Hell, I wasn't used to needing to explain one now and I couldn't blas up for hiet the better of me and now Mike and his family would pay for it
