I began to rub.
My brothers simultaneously winced.
“I’m an adult,” I told them stiffly, trying to brazen it out.
“Clearly.” Willem’s tone was frigid.
Fleur choked back a laugh.
And then another.
And another.
Until Fleur and Jaak were both laughing, and even Nic unbent enough to grin.
Willem sighed, and the others started laughing again.
My moment of brazenness expired, and I covered my face with both hands.
Oh my God.
My whole family knew I had just given Marcus Ravelli a blowjob.
When my phone beeped, Jaak asked slyly, “Up to making another guy cry again?”
Moron. Jaak was such a moron. But even so, it didn’t stop me from checking my phone.
Marcus:When can we meet again?
Ten
Marcus Ravelli wasindeed personally waiting at the steps for me when the limousine slowed to a stop in front of his corporate headquarters. It made me feel very special, but it did make me wonder if it was just an Italian thing or he was just, I don’t know, excited about...themerger?
Marcus opened the door for me, and for one moment I had a completely unobstructed, close-up view of him. He was dressed in a gray two-buttoned jacket over a shirt and pants, and I realized it was my first time to see him dressed in corporate in person. He looked sophisticated, breathtakingly so, and my heart started acting crazy again.
Can’t you be still just once, heart?
