“Good for you?”
My brother clicked his tongue. “No, not good for me. Now I need you to come in and give me final approvals to all the changes I made.”
Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Vivian tossing off her shirt and bra, leaving it behind her in the hall.
“You have my approval for everything, bye.”
“Wait!”
“What?”
“What’s gotten into you? You’re normally breathing down my neck about stuff like this.”
“I’m busy.”
“With?” Devin scoffed. “Look, I need to show you these changes before I launch the server. Just because I’m head of cyber security doesn’t mean you leave everything to me. You’re the head of the whole firm, so you need to know what’s going on.”
“Fine, fine. I’ll be there in half an hour.”
Vivian re-emerged from my bedroom in nothing but those stupidly sexy pink shorts, leaning casually against the door frame. She raised her eyebrows at me expectantly.
“Second thought, make that an hour.”
“Okay. I’ll see you then—”
I hung up and marched to her, picking her up and slinging her over my shoulder in a fireman’s hold. She giggled brightly, the sound of her laughter ringing in my ears.
“Change of plans, angel. We’re grabbing breakfast on the go. I’ve got some work at the office.”
“And you want me to come with?”
I set her down on the edge of the bed. “How else am I going to keep an eye on you?”
She tapped her nose. “Gotcha. But do you think we still have time to—”
I kissed her firmly on the mouth, sucking on her bottom lip until it came away red and swollen. “Definitely,” I answered before diving back in for another kiss.
Chapter 19
Vivian
“Wow,” I gawked. “Just…wow.”
“It’s just an office,” Jesse insisted as he took off his suit jacket and slung it over the back of his leather executive chair.
“This isn’t an office. This is bigger than my apartment.”
“I guess it’s pretty spacious.”
“Ah, so humble,” I teased.
“Make yourself at home. This shouldn’t take me too long.”
“There’s no rush.”
“There kind of is. I need to get you home sooner rather than later.”
Home.
