“I’ll pick you up at eight. We’re going to the Sense.” He looks at me as though I’m supposed to know the place.
“I haven’t heard of it. How fancy should I dress up?”
“Fancy enough.”
“Oh, I have a perfect dress. It shows a lot of cleavage,” I tease. The effect is instantaneous. He presses his lips into a thin line, his eyes darkening a notch.
“I’m taking you there as my date, not so you can find a date.”
Unable to maintain the charade any longer, I chuckle. “I was trying to bring out the caveman in you. You’re adorable.”
“Adorable and caveman don’t go together.”
“Yes, they do, and you’re the result. Now go, because I want to get some work done.”
That’s when Logan walks in.
“What is this?” he inquires, his head snapping from Sebastian to me and back.
“Your brother is shamelessly flirting with me,” I fill him in. Sebastian stands and joins Logan in the doorway.
“Okay, let’s set some ground rules.” Logan squares his shoulders.
“I’m not having the talk from my brother,” Sebastian says. I grin at his warning tone. Ah, nothing like the banter between these two to start my day at the office.
“I’ll give it anyway,” Logan replies.
“Of course you will.” I barely stifle a laugh.
“Whose side are you on?” Sebastian asks.
“No sex at the office,” Logan declares.
Straightening in my chair, I lay my elbows on the desk, steepling my fingers under my chin. “I agree.”
“Well,” Sebastian says. “I agree as well. You two”—he points at Logan and me—“have no business having sex anywhere. The two of us, however—” he adds, giving me a loaded look.
“You’re impossible,” Logan says as his assistant comes to inform him and Sebastian that they have a meeting starting in five minutes.
I watch them leave with a large grin on my face. These past few days have been out of this world. Sebastian came to my place every evening, taking care of me and spoiling me. I get all fuzzy remembering it. If I thought concentrating was hard before I gave in to him, it’s nothing compared to how it’s going to be from now on.

The day is surprisingly productive. Since I couldn’t do everything I had to from home, I had a humongous to-do list for today. I bulldoze through it, growing more satisfied with each task I check off. The collection launch will be one of the best achievements of my career.
At six o’clock sharp, my phone rings, displaying Pippa’s name.
“I’m in the mood for a girls’ night out,” she says.
“No can do. I have a date with your brother tonight.”
I hold my phone to my ear with my shoulder while gathering my stuff to leave.
“Oooh, where is he taking you?”
“Some fancy restaurant. I forgot the name.”
“Can I help you prepare?”
