No-nonsense, all-business Kim looked extremely attractive and she forced herself to focus. Whatever danger was going on was big and she said little to distract him. In fact, she kept all her questions to herself as she followed his lead, keeping just close enough to not be lost.

She was more than aware of penthouse elevators and when he produced a key for that shaft, her eyes became saucers as she stared at Kim. This wasn't an apartment! And when the door opened, she simply stood in the doorway, staring at it. She wasn't even certain that she should walk in! A quick glance behind her and yeah, there's no place in the hall for shoes. But... fuck, this was nice.

Two steps in and she belatedly remembered her shoes. Shit, she forgot the slippers. But then she spun around, still staring at him. "Kim." No, there was no way she could live here and he take the pittance of rent she was paying before! Fucking no way!
