“Listen to me,” she pleaded. “Please, just listen to me.”
And then she had started at the beginning and told me about why she had come to work at Clover House, what her family stood to lose. And then she told me things I didn’t know. I had sworn and stood up to pace the room when she told me that this guy Drew had thought he was talking to me. Thought that it was me who was scamming him, and scamming Clover House at the same time. I knew immediately it was Sean. I think I had always known it was him, but I didn’t want to believe my own brother would frame me. Then she told me that she had been to see my father that same day. At some stage in the story, she had begun to sob, and I stood helplessly watching her, my mind reeling.
“So, I know what I did was wrong, but the only thing I can truthfully tell you I am sorry for is not telling you sooner. I can’t say I’m sorry for lying to get the job,” she sobbed. “Because if I hadn’t been there to steal the files, there would be no evidence to prove you innocent now. And most of all, I can’t regret meeting you.”
“Freya…”
“No!” she said. “Let me say it! I can’t regret you,” she repeated.
I sat down on the floor beside the couch and took her hands, then her face. I kissed away the salty tears that were now flowing freely down her face, and she cried even harder.
“I can’t regret you, either,” I said.
Chapter 44
FREYA
WE HAD TALKED long into the night, sitting by the stove, and going over everything until we had finally got the whole sorry story straight. There was only one solution, only one answer that made sense, and that was that Sean had set everyone up. We didn’t know what was going to happen next, but Keegan knew his brother, and he was sure that he had more tricks up his sleeve. We had talked until neither of us could talk any longer, and then I had followed him up the creaking staircase to his room.
I have to admit I checked Keegan’s ass out as I followed him up the stairs.
The room was small, and the bed was just a double. Keegan drew the curtains closed, even though we were miles from anywhere. I sat on the bed a little nervous, as I wasn’t sure what was going to happen next. Would we make love or would he take his things into another room? The seconds dragged as I watched him.
Keegan walked towards me and sat beside me on the bed. I could feel the warmth of his body through his clothes and mine. I sat there, unsure of myself, and I started to play with my nails. Keegan slipped his arm around my shoulder and drew me close. I turned to him and he ran his hand through my hair.
“Freya, you’re so beautiful.” He pulled me close and kissed me. His tongue explored my mouth, and I sighed.
My hand rested on his thigh for a second before I slipped it under his shirt. I could feel the outline of his muscles as I ran my fingers over his stomach. Keegan began kissing my neck and nibbling on my earlobe. My hand went to his belt, and I let my hand rest lightly on his cock, which was straining against the fabric of his jeans. I swallowed as I remembered how it felt inside me back in Dublin.
Keegan pushed me back on the bed, and his hand slipped underneath my jeans. I sucked in my breath, and he laughed.
“You are perfect.”
He undid my jeans button, and within seconds, my jeans were down around my knees and my panties halfway along my thighs. Keegan brought his hand up my thigh slowly, and I ached for his next move. He got up and pulled off the rest of my clothing from the lower part of my body, while I lay there watching. He sunk to his knees and pushed apart my legs. Without warning, he pinned me to the bed and ran his finger over my wet center. He raised himself up an inch and made a show of licking his index and middle fingers. He pushed my thighs further apart, and the tip of his tongue circled my clit. My breathing got heavier as he plunged his wet fingers into me. I ran my hands through his hair, pulling him closer to my center.
He sucked and moved his tongue back and forth while his fingers moved in and out of me.
My entire body reacted to his touch. I could feel myself tensing and my walls pulse with pleasure as he continued to thrust his fingers inside me. I threw my head back and arched my back as the orgasm ripped through me. Keegan continued lapping my clit as I came down from the climax.
