Chapter 61

SHE HAD JUST FINISHED braiding her long wet hair when her phone buzzed. She hit the talk button and leaned over, spreading a light coating of pink lip gloss on her lips. “Hey.” “Hey, baby. When are you coming up here?”“Ten minutes. I just got out of the shower.”“And you didn’t think to invite me?” The pout in his voice was almost cute. Almost. “Nope. I worked out and tried to decide if I wanted to spend the night curled up with a good book about a man who showed off his woman, or have dinner with a handsome bachelor.”“Mandy,” his voice softened. “I’ll be up shortly.” She pressed the button to end the call. A growl left her as she turned her head slightly, studying herself in the mirror. The weight loss had been good for her face, having slimmed it down nicely, but, like most women, another flaw popped up in its place. “I thought you weren’t going to say anything. Needy bitch.” She shook her head and walked to the bedroom to get dressed. A simple white dress with sandals, sexy

You’re making this up. He’s a perfect gentleman, and besides... he knows we’re together.” She handed him his glass and took a sip of hers, enjoying the bitterness of the grapes as it raced across her tongue. “Oh, yeah? Did you say something to him?” Carl lifted his eyebrow. “No, Mr. Reid. You were like a Pitbull in my office this morning, spraying your scent everywhere.” She slid up against him. “It was almost hot.” She ran her tongue over her lower lip, enjoying his eyes follow it. “I almost had to go into your office to cool my libido down. I managed to take care of that on my own.”Carl’s eyes grew big. “Really?” He cleared his throat. “Good! So Paul got the hint to back the fuck off.” He shrugged, kissed her once, and moved to the counter. “I still want him out of your office. Give him Jerry’s office, and put that old fart in there with you.”“I think Jerry’s handsome.” Mandy suppressed a smile and started to work on tearing lettuce. “Well, damn... Jerry’s out, too.” They laugh

Carl wasn’t in the bed beside her when she woke, but the smell of his soap lingered in the air. Mandy rolled onto her back and tugged the covers up to her nose, breathing deeply and groaning. The man could be a pain in the butt, but he was a god in bed and smelled like heaven itself. She laid there a moment more before getting up and checking her phone. There was a text from Gina that Nicholas, one of their investors who had vied for Mandy’s attention and then effed that up royally, had called and was stopping by at nine to talk with Mandy. “Nine?” She glanced at the clock and let out a yelp. She had fifty minutes to get ready and get to the office. There was no way. It took that long to get into work.She texted Gina back as she tried to get her dress back on. It would have to be nine-thirty. Gina seemed more than willing to keep the handsome investor busy. Mandy couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the saucy Italian woman. She was too much for her own good. After slipping her feet

Sexy time?” Mandy rolled her eyes and prayed for the earth to split open and suck her into its center to be burned alive. Was she really about to talk to her sister about ‘sexy time’ with her ex? Was it not enough that Stephen was now married to her sister? She wasn’t at all interested in the bastard any more, but it did happen to leave things quite awkward between her and all of them. “Yep. So he was telling me the other day that you happen to be the best lay of his life.” She huffed. “I was a little surprised. Most girls with a little extra in the middle won’t get naked to save their life. I’m actually proud of you.”“A little extra in the middle?” Heat rose up the center of Mandy’s chest. “Right. I’ll have to call you back, Claudia. Wreck up here and I need to pay attention. Best of luck on your issues. Bye, now!” She used a sugary-sweet voice and growled loudly after hitting the ‘end call’ button. “That sorry bitch.” Mandy hit the steering wheel. She had been working so hard to
