“Yet, I wouldn’t want anyone else for a sister.”

He pushes the button and calls Dara. “Contracts please.”

“What contract? I didn’t know we had something new in the works,” I question.

“I solved the problem,” he says. His tone upbeat and smile broad.

“What problem?”

Dara walks in a red folder in hand. "The board approved everything this morning." She hands it to me.

Witt says, “I suggest you go over it with a fine-tooth comb.”

My brows knit together, I have no idea what he’s referring to.

I open it and glance down at the paperwork. This doesn’t make sense.

Co-CEO?

Who is Co-CEO? My eyes skim the small print looking for clues. Then my eyes land on a name.

My name.

I look up at the beautiful man in front of me. My throat tightens and I feel tears threatening.

“What is this?”

“Your new job. We’re Co-CEOs. No power differential. No boss/employee,” he says with a softness in his voice that I only hear when we’re by ourselves, in private.

Dara tilts her head. “I’ll let you go over this with Maci. Tech has already called twice asking about when the new server room will be ready.”

“It’s your company. You built it. You rearranged your company for me?”

Witt has started communicating in full sentences more often but this time, he simply says, “Yes.”

“I don’t deserve…”

“You do. The company stock has gone up sixty-five percent because you put my vision on steroids. You’re the one that is getting people excited about e-gaming leagues.”

A lump forms in my throat. “I don’t know what to say.”

“Say I accept.”

He holds back a laugh, but the smile is there. He may not have Parker’s dimples but he has tiny ones that he doesn’t let the world see.

“I accept.”

“You haven’t read the contract.”

I raise my eyebrows. “I trust you.”

“What if it says as co-CEO you have to have sex with me in this glass office?” he ask with a playful grin.

“I would say we need to put in blackout shades. Better than the ones at home. The sun woke me up this morning.”

He reaches for my hand and when I take it, he pulls me in. “Done. Now go to legal.”

His eyes are as bright as I’ve ever seen them, like warm honey.
