LUKE: Complete Series by Cassia Leo

jeans. His finger slid through my folds and I gasped. “What if someone walks in here?”
    “If someone walks in you have my permission to slap me in the face and file a sexual harassment lawsuit.”
    “Oh, my God.”
    He kissed my neck as his fingers stirred me into a frenzy. I was on the edge of a fiery orgasm when he slid his hand out of my jeans.
    “What… what’s wrong?”
    “Better not risk it. Let’s finish this at your place.”
    My mouth dropped as I smoothed down my T-shirt. “You unimaginable tease.”
    He grinned as he shut his door. “Come on. No time to waste.”

    We arrived at my apartment building twenty minutes later, seven minutes of which were spent trying to convince Luke he couldn’t leave his sports car parked on the street in my neighborhood. I finally gave up and he followed me in through the front gate. We passed the lush garden and the gushing fountain before we reached my front door where Milo was waiting for me.
    “Milo?” I said, my voice cracking slightly.
    Milo was wearing his usual Armani suit and intense glare, though the glare softened when he saw Luke. “Brina.”
    “Luke, this is my friend Milo. We worked together at NeoSys.”
    Luke held out his hand without hesitating. “Nice to meet you, Milo. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
    Milo glanced at me questioningly then back at Luke. “You have?”
    “Not from Brina. Your reputation at MIT trickled down to us dropouts many years ago.”
    Reputation at MIT? What the hell was he talking about?
    “You heard about that?” Milo said, his eyes widening a bit. “Well, I just have to talk to Brina very quickly and I’ll be out of your hair.”
    I unlocked the door to my apartment and Luke eyed me curiously.
    “Are you okay?”
    “I’m fine. You go ahead and I’ll be right in.”
    As soon as he closed the door behind him I shot the nastiest scowl I could muster in Milo’s direction. “What the fuck are you doing here?” I whispered.
    “I didn’t know you were going to bring the guy home with you. Jesus Christ, Brina, are you… are you in love with him?”
    “Stop wasting my time, Milo. I know what you want and I don’t have the fucking phone.”
    “Janice told me you ordered a new phone and that fat-fuck conveniently lost his phone on the boat while you were there. Don’t try to tell me you don’t have the phone, Brina, or I swear to fucking God you will wish you never took this assignment.”
    “It’s too late for that.”
    Milo squinted his eyes as he looked at me sideways. “You are in love with him. Wow…. I never thought you of all people would be this stupid.”
    “Fuck you.”
    “You have until tomorrow night to get me that phone before I blow the lid on this romance.”
    I didn’t linger outside long enough to watch him leave. When I entered the apartment, Luke was staring at me from the sofa with one eyebrow cocked suspiciously.
    “How do you know Milo?” I asked, trying to keep my cool as I made my way to the kitchen to fix us some drinks.
    He followed me into the kitchen and leaned against the counter as I pulled two glasses out of the cupboard. “He got kicked out of MIT seven years ago for hacking.”
    “Hacking what?” I asked, as I pulled a bottle of vodka out of the freezer.
    “You seriously don’t know this?”
    I poured us each a glass and slid the bottle back into the freezer. “No, I don’t. Should I?”
    “He hacked into the NeoSys mainframe and stole the personal and financial information of their executives who were involved in a major lawsuit with employees at the time. He threatened to release the information to the public if they didn’t wire him $10 million.”
    I dropped the olive in my fingers and it bounced across the kitchen floor. “Are you kidding me?”
    Luke laughed as he scooped up the olive and tossed it into the sink. “Nope. The best part is that instead of pressing charges, when NeoSys found him they offered him a job.”
    I handed Luke his martini and took
