Lex’s grin widens. “That’s my cue to leave. It was great to meet you, Cosy. I look forward to telling you all kinds of incriminating stories about Griffin this evening.” And with that, Lex turns and strides down the hall.
I grab Griffin by the tie and drag him into the closest room that isn’t his brother’s office. Of course, it’s a supply closet. Just my luck. I drag him back out. “Where’s your office?”
“Down the hall.”
“Take me there, now.” It’s not a request.
I follow him inside a huge office with absolutely zero privacy since it’s all glass windows and walls. I spot a door on the other side of the room and stride over, yanking it open. Of course, Griffin has his own private bathroom. I step inside and wait for him to join me before I shut the door. “When exactly were you planning to tell me about family dinner?”
He raises his hands in supplication. “I forgot it was tonight.”
“Did you also conveniently forget that you’d be introducing me to your damn brother? Are there any other family members I should prepare to meet while I’m here?”
He rubs the back of his neck nervously. “I’m not sure if Bancroft is in the office today.”
“Your other brother?” The only time I’ve met the family was with my high school ex from freshman year. They loved me, but we were fourteen and not disappearing into his bedroom to bang each other senseless, so that might have helped. Right now, I’m halfway to pissed and the other half of me wants Griffin to test the sturdiness of the vanity, despite how annoyed I am. And terrified.
“Yeah.”
“Geez, Griffin. I’ve been your girlfriend for less than twelve hours.”
“We established your girlfriend status in Vegas. There was just a pause before we reestablished it.”
“Again. Not the point.”
“I figured it wouldn’t be much of a surprise since you know it’s a family business.”
Okay, he has me there.
He runs his hands down my arms, inducing a shiver. “We’ll go back to my place. I didn’t mean to upset you. I just wanted to show you the office. I didn’t think about family introductions, or how that might make you feel, and I honestly forgot about family dinner. We don’t have to go. I can tell my dad I have to miss it.”
“Your dad?”
“It’s not a big deal. He’ll understand.”
“He’ll understand?”
“That I can’t make dinner. It’s okay that you’re not ready to meet my family. Once you’re back in New York, we can arrange dinner. It’s fine.”
“Is your family expecting to meet me tonight?”
Griffin’s rapid blinks speak volumes.
“Oh my God. You told your family about me?”
“Haven’t you told your family about me?” Shit. He looks hurt.
“My parents are always on the road. I barely see them. The last time we talked, I said I was seeing a guy but didn’t go into great detail.”
“So they know about me?”
“Yes.” Sort of. I was super vague, but I mentioned that I was seeing a guy a few months back. I passed it off as casual because at the time, that’s what it was.
“So when we go back to Vegas, I can meet them?”
“If they’re home, sure.” They’ll probably shit a brick and embarrass the hell out of me. Although, there’s a good chance Nev has already spilled the beans, in which case they’ll definitely embarrass me. Especially if she tells them he’s part of the Mills Hotel empire.
Dating a billionaire heir can be challenging.
Griffin regards me with fierce intensity for a few long seconds. I stumble back into the door as he fuses his mouth to mine and starts grinding all up on me. I have no idea what’s going on. I was totally ready to confront him about how extra he’s being with the whole parent intro less then twenty-four hours after we’ve made the official dating-again designation, but now his tongue is in my mouth and he’s dry humping me in his office bathroom, so I’m a little torn.
A muffled knock filters through the confusion and the lust, followed by Griffin’s name being called. He disengages in a hurry, eyes wide, like he’s gotten caught doing something he shouldn’t. Such as dry humping his girlfriend in his private bathroom.
“Shit,” he mutters and straightens up my dress and then rearranges his hard-on.
Whoever it is calls his name again. He opens the door and tries to pull it closed on me, leaving me in the bathroom. I don’t consider that he might have a reason for such an action until I follow him out and wish I hadn’t.
Standing in the middle of his office are two men. One is a fair-haired, much larger and younger version of Griffin, the other is a much older, salt-and-pepper version of my boyfriend.
Awesome. I just got caught making out with my boyfriend by his dad, who is also his boss.
