“You want answers?” Grant said softly and I nodded. He smiled for a few seconds and then took a step towards me. “What else do you want, Evie?”
“Excuse me?” I said, my breathing coming hard.
“What else or who else do you want?” His eyes surveyed my body and I could feel my ni**les hardening involuntarily. Why was my body still reacting to him still?
“Grant.” Tyler’s voice was husky as he stood next to his boss. He looked at me then and surveyed my na**d body in silence. I stood there frozen to the spot, my heart racing and my head spinning. Both men were in front of me, looking at me with questions in my eyes. All of a sudden I didn’t know which way was left and which way was right. All of a sudden the room felt a lot smaller and a lot darker. All of a sudden both men suddenly appeared a lot larger and more dangerous than before. As I looked back and forth at Grant and Tyler’s faces I wasn’t sure which one to trust. Or if I could trust either of them? Was this all just some elaborate game and plan to them? Was I really safe with either of them? My head pounded as I stood there thinking about everything that I knew. I really had no reason to believe that either of them had my best interests at heart.
“Let’s see what Evie wants, Tyler.” Grant’s voice was low and he had a snarl on his face as he stared at me. In that moment, he looked very much like the wolf Tyler had called him.
“What I want?” I swallowed hard as he reached out and touched my shoulder. I took a step back and Tyler took a step towards me and touched my other shoulder. I felt both of their hands massaging me and I melted a little inside.
“What do you want Evie?” Tyler’s voice was rough and he wouldn’t make eye contact with me. I felt his hand slide down to my lower back and I froze and turned to look at him. He finally turned towards me and I could see a look in his eyes. I knew from his look that this wasn’t a part of his plan. This wasn’t something he wanted to happen.
“What do you think I want?” I asked softly and froze as Grant’s hand moved to my ass and squeezed it softly.
“I know what I want.” Grant whispered in my ear. “And I think you want it too.” His finger slipped in-between my legs and ran up my butt-crack lightly, before going back down and rubbing me between the legs. My body reacted immediately to his touch and I trembled for a few seconds before stepping back.
“Don’t.” Tyler stepped forward and pushed Grant back. “Don’t touch her.”
“But...” Grant frowned and Tyler grabbed him and they left the room. My body was trembling in shock as I realized how close I’d come to being in a situation that left me breathless and confused. I quickly grabbed the clothes I’d been wearing, before Tyler had given me the sexy underwear, and pulled them on. I heard Grant and Tyler arguing as they walked down the corridor and I stood in the doorway and waited for them to be out of sight. There was no doubt in my mind now. I wanted to leave. I didn’t care what connection Tyler and I had. This was just a little too much for me. I was finally coming to my senses and I knew that this was not the place for me to be. I didn’t even care about finding out how Eugenie had died. I was past the detective mode stage. I could still feel Grant’s fingers between my legs as Tyler massaged my lower back. I’d been this close to doing who knows what. I felt like I was going out of my mind. And I needed to leave.
I ran down the corridor to find a way to escape when I heard the footsteps coming back towards me. “Shit.” I muttered to myself and opened the door to my right. I ran inside the room and looked for a place to hide. I saw a closet and ran towards it quickly and opened it quietly and stood there with my heart beating fast. I kept the door slightly ajar so that I could try and see what was happening. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack or a panic attack. I was so scared and confused. And then they stopped right in front of the door. I watched Tyler and Grant standing there looking at each other furiously and I closed my eyes. If they came into this room, I’d be found. If they came into this room, I would be the wolves’ dinner.
Chapter Seven
“Why did you touch her?” Tyler’s voice was angry. “What were you thinking?”
“I thought you wanted us to test her, to see how far she would go.” Grant’s face twisted. “Isn’t that the test?”
“This was different.”
“I don’t know what’s changed.” Grant blinked.
“You don’t need to know, Sir.”
“You’re overdoing it now, Tyler. There’s no need to call me Sir.” Grant looked annoyed.
“That’s how a driver would address his boss, is it not?”
“I’m not your boss.”
“You know our arrangement, Grant.”
“It just feels weird.” He sighed. “I don’t know, I think we should just let her leave. She’s finding out too much information.”
“You gave Eugenie drugs?”
“What?” Grant swallowed.
“Her letters said you gave her drugs.”
“It was...” Grant sighed. “I didn’t even know Eugenie wrote any letters.” He bit his lower lip. “Why did you tell Evie about her anyway?”
“That was a mistake.” Tyler clenched his fists. “But that’s why she has to stay.” Tyler’s voice was hoarse. “We can’t have her knowing too much. What if she found something else and didn’t tell me?”
“I don’t think this is a good idea.” Grant sounded angry. “I think we should just let her go.”
“I’m not done with her.” Tyler’s voice was loud and in control, but I could hear his anger. “And what I say goes, remember?”
“I thought I was in charge?”
“You thought a lot of things, Grant. But your time is over. If you want to continue getting paid, you’ll do as I say. Evie stays and I want you to keep the f**k away from her.”
“She’ll never choose you over me.” Grant sounded pissed. “Especially not when she hears the truth.”
“What truth, Grant?” Tyler’s voice was soft as he spoke and he looked at Grant with a deadly expression. I wanted to step out of the closet so I could see them better and ask them what this was all about, but I didn’t move. Something told me that I hadn’t heard everything yet.
“Once she knows that you’re the billionaire and not me.” Grant licked his lips. “And once she knows that Eugenie was your ex, not mine. Once she knows, it’ll be over for you.”
