Liam's POV I was buried in paperwork, double checking tomorrow’s party plans, when my phone buzzed. I glanced at the screen and groaned. Anna. “What the hell does she want from me?” I asked no one in particular. “Hello?” I answered, keeping my voice calm. “Liam…” Her voice was smooth, teasing, like she knew exactly how to get under my skin. “I was just thinking about you…” I pinched the bridge of my nose. “Anna, I’m at the office. Can this wait?” “Oh, I don’t think it should wait,” she purred. “I just… I miss last night. You know, the way we left things…” I exhaled slowly, trying to stay composed. “Anna, I really don’t have time for this. I have a party to prepare for tomorrow.” Her laugh was soft and playful. “A party? And you’ll be thinking about me the whole time, won’t you?”
