Blackmailed For Love

Chapter 24: Be Ready

"You are staying here?"

Kristian asked as he brought his car to a stop in front of the hotel I was staying in.

I had denied him dropping me but of course he had insisted.

I nodded.

"It seemed safe and close to the office."

He nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Safe? Did something happen in that shithole that you had to leave so suddenly?"

3 I bit down on the inside of my cheek and cursed myself for giving that titbit away.

I said, "Like you said, it was a shithole."

He lifted his hand and I closed my eyes on instinct and when I opened them back, he was glaring at me.

"Have I ever hit you in the past?"

I shook my head.

"Then fucking remember it."

I nodded, "I have a meeting that I need to attend.

Do I need to make sure that you are not lying and in fact live here?"

He gestured behind me at the hotel.

I replied, "I am not lying."

He nodded once.

"Good.

I'll meet you tonight.

Be ready."

"Okay…"

I said softly and as I turned around to open my side of the door, his fingers around my elbow.

stopped me.

I turned to look at him.

"Yes?"

"Come closer."

Even before he finished saying those words, I was leaning close to him.

His fingers slipped at the back of my nape and he pulled me closer as his lips pressed on mine.

I softened in his hold and let him take control of the kiss.

God, I had missed kissing him and I could do it all the time.

1 He ended the kiss with soft pulls at my lips and when he leaned back I saw the dark look in his eyes and I was embarrassed to admit I was panting and flushing for more of his kisses.

With a soft curve to his lips that told me that he knew it, he leaned back and said, "Go, before I decide to take you back to my place or to your new bedroom to christen it."

4 I flushed warm and fumbled with the door before I opened it and stepped out of it.

I could feel his dark gaze on me as I entered the hotel.

For some reason my lips wanted to smile wide, I chalked it up to the fact that I was almost giddy with the news I wanted to share with my Mom and daughter.

They both would be so happy.

They would have a home.

A place where they would be safe and I wouldn't have to worry about them being in danger of the unknown or that scary stalker.
