The Seduction 4

Brent frowns. “I don’t get it.”
“It’s over,” I explain calmly. “Ridley’s busted, you have no buyer.”
Brent blusters. “That doesn’t mean I can’t get you fired. They’ll appoint me CEO instead when they hear about---”
“What?” I interrupt. “The sex tape you illegally recorded of me with my boyfriend? We both know that’s bullshit. And I’m pretty sure selling out your own company violates that morality clause Ashcroft wrote into the will. You’re the one who’s finished here. I want you out of the office right now.”
“And you can pack up your things from that company apartment too,” Vaughn adds, sounding amused.
“Thanks for reminding me.” I smile at Brent. “You could have sat back and lived off your father’s hard work for the rest of your life, but instead, you had to try and hurt me, and all the people who work here. Now you have no place to live, no car, and you can bet I’ll be canceling all those family credit cards too,” I add. “You have nothing now, Brent. See how far your winning personality gets you now.”
His mouth drops open. Fear flashes in his eyes. “You can’t do this!”
“I already did. Now get the fuck out,” I add.
He stumbles back towards the door, reeling. Carter turns to follow him.
“Not you.” In an instant, Vaughn rounds the desk, yanking him back.
“I was just their lawyer!” Carter protests, fearful. “I had no idea about anything illegal. You can’t blame me for anything.”
“How about attempted murder?” I get up, stalking towards him. Carter looks away, guilty as hell. “You’re the one who pushed me down the stairs. The police are on their way. Apparently, Ridley paid off the security guy to lose the footage, but we offered him a bigger payout, and surprise! He found the tape.”
Carter’s face changes. He gulps, panicked. “They forced me into it!” he protests weakly. “I had no choice.”
“You’re an asshole.” I glare as he cowers in front of me. “Enjoy your time in jail.”
I bring my knee up hard into his groin. Carter lets out a high-pitched shriek of pain.
Even Vaughn winces. “Remind me not to get on your bad side,” he murmurs, as Carter hits the floor.
I turn to him, smiling. “I’m sure you can think of some ways to keep me in line.” I wink.
“Don’t tempt me...” Vaughn pulls me into his arms. His hands slide down to cup my ass. “How about we find out, in say, Bermuda?”
“A vacation?” My heart leaps. Naked Vaughn, a sandy beach, and a fruity cocktail? Yes please.
“Why not?” Vaughn gives me a wicked grin. “We can leave Cam to sort this mess out, and get away for a few days. I’ll even bring my bag of tricks.” He squeezes my ass. I catch my breath, my body already wet and aching for him.
“I want to try out a few things,” he whispers temptingly in my ear. “Starting with those handcuffs...”
