Kindle Notes & Highlights
His focus momentarily moves from my face to roam down my body; taking in my messy blonde ponytail, wrinkled pink scrubs, and supportive footwear.
“Let’s just say I fix problems that powerful people pay lots of money for me not to talk about.”
“Fix them how?”
“By any means necessary.”
“Am I in danger?”
“Not from me.”
“So I don’t need to be afraid of you?”
“I never said that.”
“Are you scared of me, Lexie?”
“After tonight I would be stupid not to be,”
“I’m not stupid.”
“You’re a lot of things, but you certainly aren’t stupid,”
“And I know you’re smart enough to realize that telling anyone about what you witnessed tonight is a very bad idea.”
“I won’t say an...

“Good. Because if you are stupid enough to tell someone, that might put you in danger. And I’ll always know.”

“Cereal doesn’t cut it for me. I need protein and complex carbs. Sausage, eggs, beans, potatoes.”
“You do know what liking something means, right? Finding enjoyment, having fun.”
“Having fun isn’t something I spend energy on.”
My eyes trail down to how his expensive black shirt stretches taut across his broad shoulders. The sleeves rolled up to his elbows show off his strong forearms decorated in dark ink. There’s no denying he has good hands—the kind every woman wants to grab her by the throat and work her into a frenzy. Those hands can be my undoing, and I’ll gladly beg for more.
“Sure thing, boss.”
“Don’t call me that,”
His eyes leave the computer screen to look at me, lowering briefly to my outfit.
“You’d live here in the city permanently. I’d require you to be available to me at all times, but you won’t always be working. You’ll basically be on-call, and act as a medical professional on my behalf. You’d accompany me to certain meetings, and travel occasionally.”

“I don’t expect to need you today, and I have meetings that can’t be rescheduled.”
“Perfect, I was hoping to soak up some sun and use the pool today. The weather is beautiful.”
Callum’s eyes move down my body, most likely taking in how pale I am. He probably thinks I just need a few hours in the sun to get some color, most people do. But my skin is always this fair, the only color I’ll be getting from the sun is bright red—not that it’ll stop...

“Sorry, there were too many people out in the living room and I didn’t want to be seen, so I came in through the balcony,”
I say, letting the towel fall away from my body to start drying my hair.
