Free Rules of Her Sins (Their Sins #1) by A. Gorman Page B

you, but no. I’m good. What all do we need to put this package together?”
    “Here, sit in my chair. It’s easier for me to show you than tell you how it will look.” I try to give her a comforting smile.
    She sits in my chair and I start showing her the forms I use and where I get the information to fill out the forms. The smell of her attacks my senses. I will never be able to get her apple scent out of my mind. The smell is comforting. I lose track of my current thoughts and think about what it would be like to be with her. She would be dressed in one of my white dress shirts with my favorite green tie. Yes, the one that matches her eyes. I’d lay her on the bed and start running my hands up her creamy…
    “Aedan…Aedan?” Jesse says, gently touching my hand, zapping me back to reality.
    Shit! I need to get my shit on straight and stop thinking about being with her. I’m going to lose it completely.
    “Yes, sorry. I was wondering if there’s anything else I need to show you.”
    “Oh, okay. Is it anything that needs to do with the acquisitions, or something else?”
    “Umm…something else. I’ll remember later. However, I do want to apologize about getting on your ass this morning. I was kind of out of line. I don’t want to see you hurt again. I like seeing you smile instead of frown.”
    “It’s over and done with, but what did you mean by your comment, ‘I don’t remember you’? You’ve worked for my dad since I came back. This is the only place I know you from,” she says to me as she stares at me.
    “I meant that I met you before you went to college and your father has told me a lot about you, and you probably didn’t take that into consideration.”
    She looks at me, trying to take everything I just said in. “Oh, okay. I guess that makes sense. By the way, do you know which PI my father uses? I have an email I want looked into.”
    “I do. It’s all handled in-house now. Is there something I can have looked into for you?”
    “Umm. Hmm. It was a weird email. I’m sure it’s not anything. Never mind,” she says nervously. “Is there anything else that I need to learn that goes along with this?
    “No, you’re good to go.”
    “Is it okay if I take the rest of the day off?” She looks at me, exhaustion on her face.
    “Yes, and I’ll keep it between you and I.”
    “Thank you very much, Aedan. Have a good night,” she says as she turns and heads for the door.
    “You too,” I call out after her.
    Her heels click down the hallway. Fuck. I’m going to have to get on that email because it’s bothering her and she won’t say it is. She doesn’t have to face this alone this time. She has people watching out for her. We will make sure that no one hurts her, that’s for damn sure.
    I go back to calling McCoy. I tell him about the email and I let him know that Jesse is going home for the rest of the day. He sighs, but I tell him that she is pretty shaken up from the email. He asks me to get on it and find the asshole that sent it to her. He wants this taken care of yesterday. Sounds like it’s time to step up my game.

    I’m thankful Laney was getting out of the museum as I was calling her to pick me up. This afternoon was crazy. I’m so glad I could leave early. Maybe Aedan can be nice after all, but something isn’t adding up. I’ll let it go for the time being. Now I’m sitting at home with a glass of wine and a smutty romance novel on my iPad. Every once in a while, it’s nice to read about someone else’s crazy life. I’ve showered and I’m in a comfy pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt. I would live in these pants if I could.
    I’m reading one of my favorites, Sixty Shades of Red . The novel is a spinoff of Fifty Shades of Grey and is all about the Red Room of Pain. I don’t care much for the color red, but on the human body, well…that’s a different story. Yes, I’ve dabbled in the BDSM scene
