Facebook. That’s about it.”
    “I’ve
always been interested in technology, and coding comes easy to me. I enjoy it.”
    She
smiles at me. “That’s what I hope, to one day love my job. Speaking of, I
should get back to work.”
    A
couple of hours later, I lean back from my keyboard, remove my earbuds and
almost laugh aloud. I can hear Zoe singing as she mops the floor. Her voice is
low and husky, sexy. Since when does someone singing make me hard? This
difficult woman does something to me I don’t understand, but it can’t be good.
    I
lounge in the doorway, watching and listening until she notices me. Her cheeks
turn pink and she glares at me. “Are you going to stalk me the whole time I
clean?”
    “Are
you always going to be this entertaining?”
    She
grumbles something that sounds suspiciously like asshole and gets to her
feet. “I’m done in here. Where would you like me next?”
    In
my bed, screaming my name. “The kitchen’s pretty grimy.”
    “Lead
the way.” Her nose wrinkles at the sight of the inside of the fridge. I guess
it does have a certain…odor.
    “I’ll
tackle this tomorrow. It’ll take longer than an hour to bleach it all.” I leave
her scrubbing down the counters when there’s a knock on my door.
    “Landon,
open up, you son of a bitch.” Dare. I forgot he was coming by tonight.
    “It’s
open, asshole.” Dare fills the doorway, looming just inside. The man is a damn
mountain.
    “Watch
what you say, my housekeeper is in the kitchen.”
    A
mirthful light appears in his eye. “Housekeeper huh? What does she look like?”
Before I can stop him, he strides into the kitchen. “Well, hello, sweetheart.”
    Zoe’s
expression is thunderous. “Since I have no clue who you are, I’m confident I’m
not your sweetheart.”
    Slipping
between them, I give Dare a look that says mine , and he grins at me.
“Dare, this is Zoe, Zoe, meet Dare. Just ignore him. Being an asshole comes
natural to him.”
    “Nice
to meet you.”
    Dare
laughs at her perfunctory greeting as I drag him out of the kitchen. “So, you
hit that, yet?” he asks, flopping onto the couch in my office.
    “Tempting,
but she works for me. She needs a job and I need the help, so don’t fuck it up
by banging her.”
    “Got
a mouth on her, doesn’t she?”
    “Yeah,
she does. So, do you have the updated list?”
    He
tosses a folder on the table. “We need the usual. Addresses, bank accounts, etc.”
    “I’ll
get on it tonight. Have you talked to the guys about moving the operation
here?”
    “They’re
on board. Once you get the place ready, we’ll get Justus in to wire everything
up, put the safeguards in place.”
    Good.
I know I’m missing out on half the shit the group does since I can only work at
night. My foot taps the ground while I consider the possibilities. “With Zoe
helping, the room should be ready in a few months.”
    “How
do you plan to explain what goes on here to your new employee?” He sneers on
the word employee.
    “She
thinks I build websites. As far as she’ll know, we all do.”
    “If
you say so.” Dare gets to his feet. “I’ve got some strange coming over. Got to
go.”
    “Tell
the woman I can finish her off after you humiliate yourself.”
    “Fuck
off, raisin.”
    After
I feed the information Dare gave me into my computer, I head back to the
kitchen to find Zoe finishing up. “I’m done for tonight. Same time tomorrow?”
    “Sounds
good.”
    Her
eyes are locked to her phone as she skims through her contacts and presses a
button. “Yes, ma’am. I need a taxi at…”
    I
reach across and hit end, stepping back before she can kick me in the nuts.
Judging by the look on her face, it was a distinct possibility. “What the
hell?”
    “Why
do you need a taxi? Is that how you always get to work?” That’d cost her a
fortune.
    “As
long as I’m at work on time, it’s none of your business how I get here.” She
holds up her palm as I open my mouth. “But, if
