Chapter Six

Maybe scening with the lovely Abigail hadn’t been Hayes’s brightest idea. The connection they shared was playing hell with his intention to avoid all emotional entanglements.

But damn it, she was so sweetly perfect that he hadn’t been able to stop himself.

Across the car’s compartment on the way to his house, he slid her a glance, only to find she was studying him.

From the moment he’d seen her at the club last night, he’d been enchanted. The kiss beneath the mistletoe, combined with the sweetness of her reaction, had mended pieces of his broken heart.

Later, at her apartment, he’d been comfortable. Her space was cozy and inviting, and he hadn’t wanted to leave. Back at his dark, empty house, he’d thought of her. Obsessed over the image of her submitting to him.

Now that she had?

Hayes was doomed.

After he’d given her an orgasm, then spanked her, he’d known their time wasn’t enough. Maybe never would be.

He wanted her beneath him, in his arms. And he’d move the heavens to ensure it happened.

Before he invited her home, tears had filled her eyes.

The thought occurred to him that for a moment she thought he was rejecting her. He hated that he’d caused her to doubt herself of him, and he wanted to banish the haunted look from her luminous blue eyes and never hurt her again.

“Do you mind if we listen to Christmas music? I know you prefer jazz or instrumental.”

Anything to make her happy. He pushed a button on the dash, and a smooth female voice responded with, “How may I serve you, sir?”

He scowled.

“How may I serve you?” Abigail repeated. “Is that how you like to be addressed?”

“Goddamn it. Fucking Bonds.”

She laughed.

“Damn prankster.” With a sigh, he explained what was going on. “Bonds is debuting a new product at the upcoming tradeshow in Vegas. I’m beta testing the project.”

“What is it?”

“I’m swearing you to secrecy.”

She rolled her eyes. “As if anyone would believe me anyway. There are always so many rumors about what he’s doing, including intergalactic travel.”

“He’s calling it a chief of staff. It doesn’t just respond to your commands. Its AI integration allows it to do your scheduling, remind you of your priorities, handle tasks like shopping, even block certain people from reaching you. Not just an assistant, but an extension of your own brain. He developed the idea while watching a documentary on the president of the United States. Chief of staff is considerably more important than any assistant.”

“True. Honestly I find it a little terrifying.”

“I’d agree, if it wasn’t so glitchy.”

“Do you still require my assistance, your lordship?”

Was it his imagination or did his chief of staff’s tone change? The thing was more annoying every minute. He gave Abigail a quick glance. “Tell her what to do. Let’s see how well she responds to your voice.”

“Please play classic “Jingle Bells.”

Dead silence echoed through the car.

“I’m sorry, your lordship. My programming informs me that you’re a scrooge and won’t have a female companion with you.”

Abigail grinned, then tried to smother it behind her hand when he shot her a frown.
