"I'll be there," I promised her. "Is there something in the sky that I need to know about? A UFO? A plane crash? The apocalypse?"

Say the apocalypse. That way, I don't have to babysit tomorrow.

Her answer came somber and out of the blue. "You know...since I had the baby, I haven't been dreaming anymore," she croaked out, still staring at the sky. "I spend my days either working or with Gravity.". And I adore her. I truly do. But single motherhood is the most solitary existence there is. Between her care, attending to her needs, working, cleaning up, cooking, and washing dishes, I barely have time to think. It's so exhausting that by the time my head actually reaches the pillow, I'm too exhausted to dream. And I miss my dreams. So every night, before I go to bed, I always look up at the stars and fantasize in my mind when I'm fully awake.

Well, screw. Now I was feeling guilty.

"What do you dream about?" I whispered around the metaphorical foot I'd shoved down my throat.

She propped her

    "Something you want to show me?" I started cutting an apple for her."Uncle Flinn and me drew faces on my toenails and made a TV show out of them. They each have their own different character."I snorted. I should really care more about how totally and completely this man was now a part of my life, but he was the only bright spot that had been to occur to me in a very, very long time.I passed the peanuts and apples to Grav and checked my phone, hoping for a message from Tucker saying he wasn't coming over at all or from Rhyland saying.something, anything, really.I didn't receive either, though. I saw only one message from Timothy.Timothy: Am I crazy? Something is happening between you and Rhy. I could feel it crackling between you two.I bit down on my bottom lip, containing a smile. I had been guilty of withholding from her my enemies-with-benefits relationship with Rhyland, since she'd been so candid about hers with Pete when they first started dating. I knew, however, she'd neve

    I frowned. "What do you mean? This is an office complex. You don't have a private suite.""I have a private suite on every block in this city.".We made our way down to the fourteenth floor—a half-condo, half-office setup with neat, modern couches, hot lighting, and sparse, modern furnishings. Shane got us beverages, and we relaxed in recliners on the patio, both of us staring out at the view."My date witnessed you getting it on with Pete's little sister when she went to the restroom." He came out and said it straight away.Shit. As I took inventory and inventoried who was at the table, I did not recall Shane's new trophy."We weren't fucking," I said with a dry note, stirring the tawny drink in my beaker, watching the golden color of it deepen like the center of a flame. "And if this is about interrupting your business partner—Christ, no." Shane's expression was stone-hard. "If you get the idea I'm interested in anyone's feelings, you haven't been paying attention. I'm discussing b

    I turned to attend to her other tit. It was just as tasty. Then I kissed her again, pushing my palm that was concealing the space between her ass and her slit in back against her pussy to provide tasty, teasing pressure to her pussy, my fingertips snagging on hers as she wildly worked her pussy harder and faster. She had three fingers inside herself. Good, but far from enough. Past experience had taught me that women-tight women like Klaus, at least from the finger I'd inserted beforehand-needed to be prepared before I could fuck them."Rhy, I'm not going to be able to do much longer. I'm appallingly wet," she moaned against my lips.I looked down to see what her panties looked like. Jesus. They were ruined. It was as if she'd sat in a fuckin' pail of water. Not gonna lie, the way she responded got my dick harder than the Empire State Building."Take me out," I said to her, trying to keep tension out of my voice.She eagerly unbuttoned and unzipped me, pushing my Armani briefs down. M

    "That went well." Shane was the first to recover from the last few minutes, popping a shrimp into his mouth.Timothy fidgeted in her seat. I shot Pete a withering glance."What?" Pete yelled in my face. "I said what everybody sitting at this table is aware of. My sister is a damn genius. Why can't she—" "Because she needs to be able to look back and like the ride, not just the freaking destination," I yelled. I was on my feet, though I had no recollection of my brain having sent my legs the signal. "Take it from a guy who spent half his twenties as your sidekick—now, not everyone wants to live in your shadow, even if that shadow comes with nice perks. You should be proud of her for having to do this on her own. You're right. She is genius. But not because she's book smart or whatever.Because she's so independent."Rhyland is right." Timothy bit down on her bottom lip. "You've been so used to defending Klaus since your father's days, somewhere along the way, you forgot that it was tim

    "Y-y-yes." She could barely stutter the word.I was half-fucking her slowly under the table with my finger, punishing her for her little trick. If she thought she was being rewarded with an orgasm, she had another thing coming.Her cheeks were flushed a deep pink, her lips parted in desire, every muscle in her body strained. "I-I gave him a ch-chance. And he c-came through." Her hips ground, hungry for more of my touch. She was near. I could feel it."Well, someone had to, darling." I dropped a casual kiss on her cheek, giving her swollen clit a quick brush with my thumb before I withdrew from her panties in a single smooth move. She quite literally yelped in frustration."And you, Ambrose?" Bruce asked Pete. "How'd you deal with their matchup?""Not good," Pete growled menacingly. "But I love my wife and daughter too much to spend the rest of my life in jail for first-degree murder.""Honey, you have to taste this special sauce." I drew the finger that had just been inside Klaus down

    Bruce's eyebrows shot off his forehead. "Putting the cart before the horse, I see. I didn't accept anything y-""You will." I cut him off. "As soon as we pull out of your door after our next test drive. You know it. I know it. It's a good deal."Tate had helped me draft it, i.e., I was invincible and could screw Bruce six ways to Sunday if something went wrong. Of course, I didn't expect it. Bruce had a whole floor to house his litigation staff. But I was also sure they were all nepo recruits from his small town, so who's to judge their level of incompetence?We sat with the others at the table. Fine drinks, cocktails, and cuisine began pouring into our section of the room in continuous amounts. Lobster rolls, Maine crab cakes, shrimp alfredo, and croissant lobster butter filled. I sat next to Klaus and ran my hand into her lap, tightening it. Reality was keeping herself occupied these past two days hadn't done anything in removing her from my thoughts.How much is the estimated annua
