CHAPTER ONE #6
“This way.” Following blindly completely confused, not sure what was going on, they all stood at the door marked 1B. Her security moved passed her opening it. “Please wait here until I have checked the rooms.”
Her mouth dropped open in the doorway. Several minutes passed and he was back handing her the key. “You will find everything you need is in the apartment. Should you require anything call 1 to reception. Good night.” He bowed to her, and they left.
Cautiously going in, she wandered in, the door closing behind her leaving her alone hovering in the hall. This was crazy beautiful.
And a mistake.
It was straight out of one of those house magazines. Tiptoeing afraid she’d make a mark, she walked towards what appeared to be an open living room area. It was gorgeous and had amazing views out the windows.
Oh my god….. I need a drink…… and headed to the kitchen area.
Opening the fridge, she found it fully stocked with food. Grabbing some milk looking for a glass. Filling it, she put the carton back in the fridge. Shaking her shoes off she explored.
Finding a bathroom, then guest room with en-suite facilities and a closet next to that. On the other side was one door. A master bedroom, with walk in closet and bathroom with a spa tub and separate huge shower with multiple jets and double sinks. She couldn’t believe it.
Had she won the lottery? This cannot be for her…..
Checking the closet, shocked she found her things hanging up or laid out.
Ok that was weird. And annoying. Someone had been to her house to get her things.
Now she was worried. Not cool. Too tired to think on it anymore. She grabbed her phone and texted Pete. Then stripped and headed into the shower finding her things already in there too.
What The Fuck!....
Storming over she turned the shower on, stripped and washed away the day, wrapping a towel round her, grabbing a T shirt and panties from the drawer. Slipping them on she hung the towel over the closet door and climbed into bed.
She was safe here, the rest can wait, she thought as exhaustion hit her.
Nearly dawn Alex exited the elevator from the underground car park and found his two men security waiting for him.
“She showered and went to bed sir.” Alex nodded rode the lift and entered apartment 1A.
He owned both. Actually, as of today, he owned the building, and it housed his staff. His people.
What Luce would think of that, he really did not care.
She was his now.
Walking back to the living room she quickly went over to the table putting her breakfast tray down, grabbed her juice from the coffee table, dragging her chair out, sat down and lifted the lid on the tray.
Oh my…..
They had brought her eggs, bacon, pancakes syrup, toast and a coffee pot.
All steaming hot. Cream and sugar on the side.
So good she nearly cried in joy. Putting the napkin on her lap she lifted her knife and fork as the front door to her apartment opened.
Frowning she leaned to one side so she could see down the hallway.
A male came in and closed the door behind him.
A moment of panic hit her. She sat back bolt upright and remained in her seat as she heard footsteps approach, holding onto her knife.
So, ok he had to be part of security right?....
And frowned. Then thought he looked more familiar than that. A passing thought as he came into view.
Her mouth dropped open and raised her eyebrows as he approached and took the seat next to her.
Shocked she sat staring at him as he pulled the paper out from under his arm, and she heard her front door open again.
There were several footsteps again, two more came into view.
One carrying another tray over to the table and put it down.
“Thank you, Tony.” Her guest told him. She looked up at Tony seriously confused.
What was Alex doing here?.....
“You’d better eat that or its going to get cold.” Her uninvited guest told her.
Putting her knife and fork down she stared at him as ‘Tony’ left. “How about you tell me what the fuck you’re doing here?” she asked him instead. He looked over the paper at her and smiled.
Damn……. He was gorgeous…..
All that damn hair tied up in a top knot. Bloody delicious.
“Seeing as we’re both having breakfast, I thought it would be a nice idea to have it together.” He told her.
She nearly sneered but picked up her fork and loaded it with eggs and shoved them into her mouth instead. If he was going to give her shit, she wanted it on a full stomach.
And moaned as the taste hit her. Damn they were good and grabbed the coffee in the other hand and drank deeply.
Shit… that was so good too…..
And looked over at her guest who was staring at her. “I don’t remember inviting anyone.” She told him harshly.
He smiled at her. “Oh but you see, you intervened last night and now…” He told her smiling slyly. Luce narrowed her eyes and looked up shovelling in bacon and pancake, then swallowed.
“And now, what?” she asked him around her mouthful annoyed. He smiled at her as he picked up his own knife and fork to begin eating.
“And now …. You belong to me.”
