His to Possess #3: Perfect Storm (5 page)

“I was hoping to find you. I can’t believe my luck finding you so quickly. What are you doing here?”

“I work for Ranier Industries. I’m Mr. Ranier’s personal assistant.”

He smiled. “You’re kidding.” Then his smile faded. “But you don’t know…”

His words trailed off.

“Know what?”

He shook his head. “It doesn’t matter right now. All that matters is that I found you.” He captured her lips again and her heart stammered as a turmoil of emotions swirled through her.

She wanted to be happy he was here, to believe that they could rebuild what they’d lost … but she couldn’t. He’d caused her too much pain. How could she trust him again?

And what about her relationship with Dane? She didn’t want it to end that for something that might fizzle out the first time Storm decided he didn’t want to be tied down again.

She pushed on his chest. He released her lips, but his arms stayed firm around her.

“Let me go,” she said with gritted teeth.

“I suggest you do what the lady requests.”

Her gaze shot to the doorway where Dane stood, his arms crossed. She blanched. Just what she needed. Her boss—and lover—catching her in his office in a clench with her old flame.

Storm’s arms loosened around her and he turned around.

“Hello, Dane.”

Dane’s gaze jerked to Storm’s face and his eyes widened in surprise.

“Rafe?”

A numbness crawled through her as she heard the name Dane called Storm, but she couldn’t quite conceive of what it meant. She glanced from one man to the other.

The embarrassment and concern at having been caught in Storm’s arms was replaced by shock as a shiver raced down her spine.

It couldn’t be.

She’d been mistaken when she’d thought Dane was Storm the first time she’d seen him. But now seeing them side-by-side … She sucked in a breath. Their features were indeed similar, especially with Storm dressed as he was in an expensive suit with his dark hair combed back.

Astonishment coiled through her. “Oh, my God,” she murmured.

With eyes wide in astonishment, she turned to Storm.

“You’re Rafe Ranier!”
