later, I heard the soft, steady, sound of his breathing, letting me know he’d fallen asleep.
I relaxed into his arms, and a moment later, I was asleep, too.
It was about an hour later when I was woken by the sound of a phone ringing.
For a moment, I thought it was my stupid alarm again.
But it wasn’t.
It was the room phone.
“Hello?” I heard Callum say. He was sitting up in bed, awake, no trace of grogginess or sleepiness in his voice. “What? When? Okay… Okay. Thank you for letting me know.”
He hung up and I saw a flash of something on his face. Pain. Unbearable pain. He squinted his eyes and his hands were on his temples and his jaw was twitching.
“Callum,” I said, sitting up and putting my hand his shoulder. “What is it? What’s wrong?”
“It’s Rose,” he said, sliding out from under the covers and standing up. He began to get dressed in the pajamas he’d discarded on the floor.
“Is she okay?”
“No.” He shook his head. “She’s dead.”
The wind was knocked out of me in one sharp swoop, as if I’d been punched hard in the stomach. “What? How?”
“She went into multiple organ failure,” he said. “Her body couldn’t handle the trauma of what the drugs had done to her.”
“Oh, Callum,” I said, the tears filling my eyes. “I’m so sorry. I thought she –”
“I need to go back to my apartment and get ready for work,” he said. “I’ll pick you up tonight and we can go look at that apartment.”
“You’re going to work now?”
“Yes.” He was halfway to the door already, pulling his shirt on, the wounds on his back visible for a moment before the fabric of his t-shirt covered them. “I’ll see you tonight.”
The door shut behind him with a click, leaving me there, alone, wondering what the hell had just happened, and what the hell I was supposed to do now…

W ICKED MISTAKE.
Skylar Kinsey’s life is in the toilet.
Literally.

But when she catches billionaire Madden Cross in a compromising position, she’s faced with an impossible choice.

But when he first sets eyes on the innocent and curvy Skylar Kinsey, Madden knows that she will be his most difficult conquest yet. And there’s nothing that whets his appetite like a challenge.
W ICKED BAD. Soon, Skylar is presented with an offer that she cannot refuse. A weekend with the powerful billionaire in exchange for ten thousand dollars and the chance to start a new life.
But will the billionaire’s need to dominate her voluptuous body lead her down the path to hell, or will she find that even the wicked can sometimes be good after all?
