are checking them out, Knox,” Nick told him.
    “What else? Goals? Dreams? Perfect places to vacation?” Knox frowned. “Banking information?”
    “What?” Zeke cried. “I don’t fucking know, dude. I have been up to my eyeballs in serums and haven’t had human interaction with anyone in months until you guys.”
    Knox rolled his eyes at Zeke’s rambled excuses. He’d been the same way at one point, though. Not really socializing much. Which was surprising when his biggest client made it a point to tell him his daughter liked Knox. Soon after, he’d started dating Lisa and when they decided to become a couple, Scarlett came into his life. He’d never been able to have sex with Lisa, not once.
    His every waking thought had been consumed by Scarlett. He was glad he’d broken things off with Lisa. There was really nothing left for them.
    “I’m going to my office. I need to see if I can look into your guy’s banking history,” he told Zeke and Nick. “Send Scarlett my way.”
    “Wait,” Nick yelled as he headed out of the room. “Are you sure about this?”
    “What else is there?” He met Nick’s gaze with his own frustrated one. “If I can find out his money or other things, I can figure out where he could be. Or what his plans are.”
    “You can do that?” he heard Scarlett ask behind him.
    “I’ll give you a call the moment I find something. If you need me, you know where my office is,” he said and turned to her. “Let’s go.”

 
     
    THIRTEEN
     
    Scarlett didn’t get a chance to ask what they were talking about. She was dragged off by Knox down the hall. They ran down two flights of stairs and through another hall before they reached a massive library. He opened doors at the back of the room that led into a large private office.
    The place smelled of Knox. Clearly, this was where he spent his time when he was home. He shut the door and pushed her against it, reminding her vividly of their time in the guest room.
    “Good morning, beautiful,” he murmured and kissed her lips, softly at first and then with more possessiveness. There was no holding back. She kissed him with the same amount of desire and need she sensed from him.
    He rained kisses over her lips and jaw, taking her earlobe between his teeth and sucking hard. “I’ve been dreaming of fucking you against a door again.”
    Good god. The guy just didn’t stop. She let out a slow breath and cupped his face in her hands. “Soon.”
    Lying wasn’t an option. The minute they knew he was going to be fine, she’d get him naked so fast, his head would spin.
    “Not soon enough,” he growled and gave her another kiss before tearing himself away.
    She watched him hurry around his desk, his fingers tapping on keys and booting the computer system.
    “So what don’t I know?”
    “Zeke’s lab partner stole his research. I’m hacking his bank account and computer to see where he went.”
    She gasped.
    He glanced up from his computer and raised his brows. “What?”
    It dawned on her there was a lot she didn’t know about him. “You can do that?”
    He turned back to his keyboard. “Yeah. When I was in college, I worked at a big banking company that paid me to hack into their competitor’s programs to get the latest information on what they were planning or working on.”
    Her jaw dropped. “But that’s illegal.”
    He shrugged. “Tell that to a kid who needed tuition money. At the time, my parents said if I wanted to go to college, paying for it was my problem. They were hippies, so it wasn’t something they really cared about.”
    She couldn’t see Knox being part of a hippie family. He was too numbers involved, and by the looks of his office, secretly obsessed with comics and comic book movies. Nothing about him screamed flower child.
    Then again, the idea of Knox, big, geeky Knox with a tie-dye shirt and daisy crown made her snort a giggle.
    “What are you laughing at over there?”
    “I thought you could read my
