Taking a deep breath, forcing my shoulders back and my chin up, I moved toward him, snatching the panties, watching his gaze go victorious as he reached to grab his shirt.
"You know what, Mr. Kole?" I said, stepping closer. "Keep them," I said, shoving them down into his front pant pocket, getting a hiss out of him, then turning and walking away.
Victorious.
At least for the moment.
Who knew what the future held.
But just this once, I was pretty sure I got the better of Elias Kole.
Moving inside the elevator, I watched the doors start to close, seeing a shadow move in the corner before it closed, oddly coming from the wrong direction from where I'd left Elias.
I shook off the strange feeling inside at that, reaching up to flatten my hair, feeling my lips curve up as my hand met the top of my head. A place that would have had a concussion if not for that tufted headboard.
It turned out I was right about those damn headboards after all.
That was two wins in one day.
Even if I knew, eventually, Elias Kole was going to come back with a checkmate.
I was going to enjoy my short-lived victory.
And the delicious ache between my thighs.
