now.

“Oh to be a fly on the wall during those events,” Lex said dreamily. He faked a shiver and bit his lip.

The phone rang from the reception desk just outside my office, and I waited for him to get up to retrieve it. When he remained seated, still lost in his erotic dreamland, I learned forward and placed my elbows on the desktop. “Isn’t there something else you should be doing besides fishing for details of my weekend?”

“Fine,” he said in a huff. “You take all the fun out of everything.”

I could only shake my head in wonder as he rushed from the room. He was harmless really, but extremely exhausting.

My last meeting of the day couldn’t have come soon enough. The continuous talk of opportunity for growth and the benefits of this or that investment had all begun to run together, and I just wanted to leave early and make a surprise visit to Stockman and Wright. After more than forty-eight hours of full, uninterrupted access to Kiera, I was beginning to go into withdrawal.

I had just lifted my cell so I could send a dirty little message to the woman that now consumed my mind when my desk phone rang. It was my direct line, and only a few people knew to call me there.

I laid my cell back on the desk and leaned forward to answer. “Hello.”

“Well if it isn’t the brother who deserted me Saturday night.” Beckett tried to come across as irritated, but I knew he wasn’t. “You do know I had to entertain both Milly and Tiffany all on my own.”

I chuckled. “Yeah, something tells me you had no trouble with that task. And who the hell are Tiffany and Milly anyway?” He said their names like I should have known who they were.

“I told you about the woman I met while I was in Jersey last month,” he replied quickly. “We set this double date up weeks ago, man. Tiffany is her roommate. But after I got a few drinks in them, they no longer cared that my mega-rich older brother stiffed us.” He let out a low whistle, and I imagined his cocky smirk as he continued. “The only stiff they were thinking of then was my very happy cock.”

“So then you can thank me for not showing.”

He chuckled again. “I guess I can. It was definitely a night to remember.” My brother was even worse than I had been when it came to one-night hook-ups. “So who did you ditch me for?”

I thought he was long past this question, but apparently the girls he’d been with warranted no further conversation.

“Her name is Kiera,” I offered. “I met her a few weeks ago.”

“And?” he pried.

“And we spent the weekend together.”

He grew quiet, and I could picture his shocked and puzzled expression.

“Before you say shit, just know that she isn’t like the other women I’ve spent time with.” I hoped he understood my meaning.

“Well it would appear that our mother’s excessive talk of us settling down has finally reached her eldest son.” I was thankful he didn’t say something about the magic of Kiera’s pussy, because I’d heard that one before. He used to say it when Sloane and I were together, but Sloane had absolutely nothing on Kiera. Sloane was convenient for a time, but Kiera had quickly become a necessity.

“Just enjoying one another’s company and seeing where it takes us,” I explained.

“You sound like a fucking woman,” he grumbled, and this time I was the one that laughed. Beckett was such a manwhore. He loved women so much, I wasn’t sure he would ever be able to choose just one.

But then again, that was exactly what I used to think about myself. Until I met her.

KINSLEY

The way you moan just as your orgasm hits you, I’ve never heard anything I crave more.

WITH HEAT RISING IN MY neck, I stared at the message Ashton had sent me and thought of his good-bye to me just before he left my apartment this morning.

He’d left me hunched over the couch, my panties still around my ankles as he slowly backed away, buckling his pants. A look of pure satisfaction and arrogance covered his face. He knew what he did to me. I had attempted to pretend I didn’t want him to take control and make me weak with desire, but I failed. He could see right through me, and there was no hope of hiding the fact I wanted him as badly as he
