Part II 17(10/23)

shuffles out

of the elevator with his wife. I barely notice, concentrating

instead on staying upright and trying to manage my panting.

Jeez, I feel aching and bereft. Christian releases me,

lea一ving me to stand on my own two feet without leaning on

him.

Turning, I gaze up at him. He looks cool and unruffled,

his usual composed self. Hmm . . . This is so not fair.

“Ready?” he asks. His eyes gleam wickedly as he slips

first his index, then his middle finger into his mouth and
