An idea forms.
It may not work, but at least I’ll go out fighting. I won’t make Langston’s job easy.
It wouldn’t shock me at all if Enzo and Kai put Langston up to this thinking they could drag me kicking and screaming back to their world, back into that life. I won’t do it. I’d rather die than go back.
I pick up my phone and dial Waylon’s number.
“Hey, sweetheart, miss me already?”
I smile at his response. “I always miss you.”
I hear the clinking of ice. “You enjoying a glass of scotch?”
“Yes, same as you.”
I can feel his grin through the phone. We always drink scotch together. It’s one of the many things Waylon and I have in common.
“Unfortunately, you’re going to have to miss me for a while longer.”
“And why’s that?”
“Some old girlfriends invited me on a girl’s trip to Santorini, and I had to push up a business trip before I meet them, so it will be three weeks until I’m home.”
“A girl’s trip, huh? I thought I was your only friend?” he teases.
“You are, you know that.”
“I think a girl’s trip would be good for you. You work too hard; it’s time you got a little vacation. Where is your business trip? I might be able to meet up with you before you go, but my schedule is crazy these next couple of weeks as well.”
“Sacramento and then Chicago.”
He sighs. “I’m in Houston and then Hong Kong.”
“It will just make our reunion in three weeks all that more enjoyable,” I let my voice drop into a raspiness that turns him on.
“You’re going to need to take off another week when you get back. I’m going to need that long to show you how much I’ll miss you.”
/> My panties soak, and my nipples peak up at that thought.
“Deal.”
I end the call, and then I call my assistant Gerald.
“What can I do for you, Miss Dunn?”
“Can you book me a flight to Tokyo and then a private jet in Tokyo to take me wherever I might need to go next?”
“Of course. When would you like to go?”
“Tomorrow afternoon, please.”
“I’ll book you a first-class flight to Tokyo and arrange the usual private jet for you to be ready at your beck and call after you arrive. I’ll email you the details as usual.”
“Thank you, Gerald.”
“You’re welcome, Miss Dunn.”
I end the call. I just gave Langston two separate leads to follow, and I’m about to give him a dozen more. He’ll have no idea where I’m going when I’m through with him.
