Niko(Love Me Harder #2)(4)
“It is. You will understand soon.”
“Thank you for the encouragement, but we both know Sergey was the next born.”
“This is earth, not our planet. We will mate in the order we meet our mates, not the order we were born in.”
“You think that is true?”
“I know it is true.”
Niko nodded, “I spoke with Vance.”
“And?”
“I do not believe he is misappropriating funds. What worries me is that he didn’t discover them missing on his own, Dee had to bring it to his attention. She was able to do this without having access to the other sites.”
“How is it Vance is in charge?”
“I wanted Dee to have some time, after what happened.”
“What should we do next?”
“I want to leave Vance in charge. Whoever is taking the funds, feels comfortable with him there.”
“What about Dee? Rena will not be happy if something happens to her friend. If Rena is unhappy —.”
All the brothers wanted Rena to be happy. It made their days so much easier.
“I did say we will have to find a way to thank her, but I made it a point not to acknowledge her while I was there. I would like her to work on the problem from the inside.” He would have to think on that later.
“Niko, how long will you keep following her?”
He was in charge, so of course he knew. He kept track of all of the brothers. How he did it now that he had a mate, none of them were sure. Aran was the first born. He took to the role of being the eldest brother.
If Niko was being honest, he would acknowledge that it was nice to know Aran had his back. He wasn’t being honest. He was upset.
“Would you like me to leave her to wander the streets alone at night? Would that make Rena happy?” Not that he was doing this for Rena.
No, he followed that little ball of fire around because he couldn’t help himself. “I want her safe Niko, you know that. I also want you safe.”
“I can only be safe if Dee is.”
Chapter Three
‘It’s Friday. It’s Friday.’ The lyrics from that song ran through Dee’s head as she left work. It was Friday. No reason to think about numbers or ledgers or diminishing bank accounts for two whole days. She had no problem doing that math.
She got into her red charger and let out a sigh of relief. She loved this car with its strong lines, and the power at her fingertips and the way it roared like a well satisfied-man, when he spilled into you. This car was all about muscles and power.
She started the car, feeling the rumble between her legs and gave a small moan. Her car satisfied her more than most men, not that she was willing to broadcast it. She pulled into traffic, allowing the day to wash over her.
Vance, her clueless boss, had spent the day watching her as if she were the thief or had somehow threatened him. Niko had been a no show since he left the office. You would think he would at least say hello to her. It’s not like he didn’t know her.
She had spent the rest of the day pouring over receipts and balancing the money, making sure everything from her sites was accounted for. A nice long boring day.
Ok, her pussy had throbbed all day long and her clit wanted to be sucked something fierce. She had Niko’s smell in her nose and it wouldn’t go away. Her over riding fantasy was that he would come into the office, sweep the papers off the desk and fuck her hard on it.
Bad girl Dee, she chastised herself. She didn’t want nice love making with big smiles and soft moans and promises of love forever, which sounded boring. She wanted something that would flare hot and bright and sizzle her in the process.
She pulled herself together and got out of the car. She really needed to stop living in a fantasy world. Women like her never got the right man.
She opened the door to her apartment and sighed in disappointment. She always harbored the vain hope that when she came home and opened that door, a sense of accomplishment would come over her.
She lived in a beautiful and expensive apartment in Shadyside. Her mom would have been so proud of her if she could have seen the place. It was clean, not immaculate like Rena’s place, but Rena was a neat freak.
Dee had treated herself to expensive furniture and knew lots of people who would kill to live here. She barely saw it when she walked in. The place left her cold, but it was home.
She walked past her bare walls and into the bedroom, which had pictures of her and Rena hanging out. Was it weird their pictures were in here instead of the living room? Not really. Here was where she spent most of her time. All she had was her best friend, so she hung the pictures up here.
Tonight there would be no forcing herself to try and sleep. No wandering the streets until she ended up in SB’s. Tonight she would go out, hit the town. There was a new club in the Strip. It was supposed to be hot.
