“You can barely keep your eyes open.”
“I like this.”
Me too, but I mustn’t, and neither must she. “Bad girl.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No, you aren’t.” I turn her to face me and kiss her.
Since one of us needs to take control, I decide it should be me. So I pick her up and carry her back into the room.
I grab some towels and take the opportunity to dry her off before I do myself, then we fall into the bed.
This is the part where I should leave. It’s at the very least an opening for me to exit the fantasy and whatever spell she has on me, but when we start kissing again, it’s clear I have no intention of leaving this bed.
She kisses me like she can’t get enough and wants all of me. It becomes so intense I have to pull back and stare at her. Megan notices I’ve regained control and schools the desire on her face.
I stare at her for a few moments, trapping myself in her gaze. The soft amber light from the dim room is bright enough for me to see the emotion beyond her beauty. It makes me want to peel away the layers and delve in.
When her bright brown eyes sparkle with need, I run a finger across the deep
valley between her breasts. “You want me again.”
“Is that such a bad thing?” She giggles, stifling a yawn.
“No.”
“I’m just…”
“What?”
“Having a good time. I had a good time with you and the guys. I mean it.”
Her lids grow heavy.
“We did too. Now I want you to sleep.”
“Will you lie next to me?”
“Yes.”
I rest my head next to hers and within seconds of closing her eyes, she falls asleep. I sleep too, enjoying what I can.
When I wake up, I have to put some kind of plan in action.
I just don’t know where the fuck to start.

I walk into my office and set my cappuccino down on my desk.
The guys should be here in a minute. I’m sure they’ll be buzzing about Megan the same way I am.
It will be a shame to talk about anything that’s not her, but we need to talk about what’s happening.
I thought it was a given that my grandfather would hand over the business to me, so I made Knox and Levi several promises. They worked their asses off to make sure we succeeded. That’s why I have to figure this out.
I know our friendship doesn’t mean they’ll always have to follow me. Each of them has the capacity and ability to be leaders of their own empires. If I fail and they left Rivera Developments, I couldn’t fault them. I would have to go too because I wouldn’t be able to work under Lorenzo.
