Travis snorted and then scooted to the edge of the couch and lowered his voice. “Look, I know you aren’t getting any fromhimright now, so tell you what. You need a release? I’ll take one for the team.”
My eyes went wide. “What?”
“I’m a good friend, and that’s what good friends do. Plus, you think I’m hot.”
“For fuck’s sake, I knew you’d take that the wrong way. I thought good friends just gave advice.”
“And orgasms.” Travis cocked his head, like he was thinking that statement over. “Well, on an as-needed basis or in emergencies. And from the stiff cock in your pants, I’d say this is an emergency.”
I dropped my face into my hands and groaned. “Oh God. Please stop.”
“That’s not what anyone in my bed says when I?—”
“Donotfinish that sentence,” I said, putting my hand up to his mouth. But that was the wrong move, because Travis nipped at my finger and grinned when I pulled my hand away. “I appreciate the offer, but trust me when I say taking you up on it is a terrible idea.”
“Yeah, well, so’s banging him.” Before I could open my mouth, he added, “And you can stop denying you want to—it’s just me.”
“I’m not denying anything. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. He’s hot. Anyone with eyes can see that. Don’t act like you haven’t looked.”
Travis’s lip curled. “I’ve done more than look.”
I whipped my head in his direction and leveled him with a glare. Travis held up a hand in mock surrender.
“In mydreams.” He groaned as he turned back to eye the two men across the room. “I mean, who wouldn’t? He’s single, rich, and sexy as fuck. Trust me when I say everyone with a pulse is dreaming about Daddy Filth. Difference is, you’re supposed to be boning his daughter.”
“Lovely.”
“What?” Travis shifted on the couch, facing me. “It’s true. Use your head. How do you think Serena would feel if word got out you wanted to get naked with her dad?”
“Jesus.” I glanced around, making sure no one was within earshot. “Do you have an off button? We’re not going to be getting naked. I’m keeping my damn clothes on.”Unfortunately.
“Really? If I could, I’d be naked all the time.”
“Which has me very thankful for the dress code at Astor.”
“You wouldn’t say that if you ever saw me naked.”
A curt cough in front of us had my eyes darting up to—oh, fuck— “Mr. Carrington. Uh, hi.”
Travis snorted as I shot to my feet, and I promised myself I would kill him as soon as I managed to dig myself out of the hole I was currently trying to crawl out of.
“Hello, Preston. Travis. Good to see you both.”
“What brings you by Astor this morning?” I said, hoping with every fiber in my body it was me, but knowing that was unlikely. “Is it Serena?”
“Actually, no. Professor King wanted to see me about the board meeting next month. Nothing too exciting. But I did get a chance to speak to Serena over the weekend. Do you have a minute?”
My heart skipped a beat as I looked into his eyes, and I hoped like hell my face was doing a better job at hiding the way his words made me feel than my racing heart.
So he’d talked to her. Did he know the truth? And if he did, he wanted to talk to me about it…now?
I was acutely aware of not only Travis sitting behind me, but also my hard-on he’d just pointed out, and all I could do was hope anyone around didn’t notice.
Think about icebergs…
Think about Antarctica…
Think about polar bears—no, don’t think about bears.
