this bastard.
After tossing my phone back to the floor, I crawled back in bed and pulled Gabby back against me with her back resting against my chest. I ignored the ding of the texts coming through to me and closed my eyes, basking in the feeling of my woman being in my arms at last.
Chapter 18
Gabriella
“Our apartment has turned into the FBI headquarters.” I looked up from my laptop to see Brook eyeing the group of men in our living room. She looked all starry-eyed, and it made me laugh. “How is a girl supposed to concentrate with all this yumminess?”
It hadn’t escaped me that Greyson was also looking at Brook with starry eyes from time to time while offering her a megawatt Greyson smile. I was trying not to be concerned. Brook was a big girl. She had heard more than once how big of a man-whore Grey was, so if she willingly went there, it was on her.
Grey, Mike, Trevor, and Audrey had all been camped out in my place for four days now, and at times things became tense. It was actually an extreme turn-on to see Josh at work. He was so take-charge and demanding. It didn’t take much to make me want him. After all, I just got him back, so I had some making up for lost time to do.
“So, um, distract me,” Brook said as she continued to stare ahead. Her eyes were locked on Greyson’s ass, and all I could do was shake my head. She was a goner, I knew it now. Lord help him when he screwed her over.
“And how would you suggest I do that? From the looks of it, nothing can pull you back from your current state.” I smiled when her head whipped around in my direction. “I’m wondering if we should all leave you and Greyson alone.”
“Whatever.” Brook rolled her eyes and spun around to lean against the countertop with her back facing the living room. Now it was Greyson’s turn to check her out, and he was already taking the opportunity to do so.
“How’s work going?” she asked, and I knew it was only to distract herself.
“Do you honestly expect me to believe that you care about my job?” I asked with a knowing smile.
“For your information, smartass, I do care. I do,” she insisted when I laughed. “Has that asshole ever tried to contact you or Margo again?”
“Nope, she tried calling him a few times, but the number was wrong, or at least that’s what the woman that answered said. It’s all fine by me, though. I couldn’t care less. No amount of money was worth how uncomfortable he was making me.”
“Who made you uncomfortable?” Josh asked as he stepped around the end of the counter and bent to place a kiss on the top of my head.
“Oh, it’s nothing, just some creep I was showing penthouses to. He got a little too comfortable, which just made me a little nervous.” I grabbed my water bottle and lifted it to take a drink. When I placed the lid back, Josh was still staring at me. “What?”
“How did he make you uncomfortable?” he asked, his tone a little more demanding this time.
“Oh my God.” Here we go again. This time it was Josh interrogating me instead of Greyson. “He just kept asking me out, and things got weird.”
“That wasn’t all. He showed up at her office all the time, called constantly, and let’s not forget how he made you throw up that day in your office. He had her so upset, she lost it.”
I glared at my sister. Once again she couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
“Who the fuck is this asshole?” Josh now looked pissed, and I was trying to find a way I could later repay my very conversational sister. “Gabby?”
“Do you seriously think having a name is going to change anything? Honestly, Josh, I haven’t heard from him in weeks. Margo insisted she would take over for me, and even she can’t reach him.”
“Yes, Gabriella, I want his damn name.” I arched an eyebrow at him when he used my full name. Very rarely did he call me anything but Gabby or baby. “Name?” he repeated when I didn’t
