Penny had been kind enough to drop off her new hire paperwork at the human resources office. Lily realized she had left it on the assistant’s desk when she fled the executive floor last night. As soon as she entered the building there was a security officer waiting for her.
She felt a quick flutter of panic. Shit. Had she lost her job already? Did she ruin everything last night by admitting she wanted to get pregnant?
“Miss Francini, Mr. Kincaid has asked that I escort you to your new office this morning.” He folded his hands in front of him.
“Oh all right.” She followed him into the elevator and gawked when he pressed the executive level. Did he have this right?
The officer stood aside to let her walk into the lobby. She needed to keep the pink from her cheeks. No one else here knew what had happened in Sawyer’s office. And there was no reason for them to know as long as she acted like everything was normal. That was the plan. It didn’t happen. She hallucinated. It was some kind of deranged fantasy she had concocted. She had been having too many of those lately.
The officer stood outside of a double set of doors. Lily stared in disbelief. She was smack dab in the middle of Sawyer’s and Jack’s offices.
“This is my office? No. It can’t be. I thought I was downstairs with the rest of the advertising department,” she protested.
He nodded. “It is ma’am. I was instructed to bring you here.” He pushed the door open. “Have a good day.” He turned and walked back to the elevator bay.
Lily stepped inside. There had to be some mistake. She was supposed to be on one of the lower floors with the other department heads. The top floor was designated for only Sawyer’s and Jack’s personal staff. She had gathered that much from her first day at the company.
She scanned her surroundings. There was a nice view from here—impressive, actually. Her lungs seized. She saw the two sets of doors. One was on the right—adjacent to Jack’s office. And the other on the left was aligned with Sawyer’s.
The tingle that always surfaced when she thought about the two men struck between her legs.
“Shit,” she scolded herself.
She took a seat behind her new desk, trying to focus on the task she had. She had to run the advertising department. She was in charge of getting advertising expenses back under control. She needed to develop a comprehensive online presence that would guide the company forward. There was enough work to keep her busy for the next year easily. The path to freedom was to directly increase profits from her campaigns. The only way to forget about the groomsmen was to dig into these projects.
It might be the only way to save her sanity, stop imagining a three-way, and having their baby.
By the end of the day, Lily looked up from her desk, realizing she had worked ten hours without laying eyes on of the men. It surprised her. She didn’t know if she expected to show up with another offer for three-way foreplay. Is that what they called it? She didn’t have any idea how to explain a threesome.
She rubbed her stiff shoulders. They ached from being hunched over her computer most of the day.
She turned off the computer and stood to leave. She looked at each of the doors. She was tempted to open one. She faced the one on the right and thought about Jack’s deep voice. About his firm lips. How they felt on her neck.
And then she pivoted to the left and knew on the other side of that door was a man with more sex appeal than was legal. Perfect hands. Serious eyes.
She moaned a little in the back of her throat before grabbing her bag and rushing out of the office.
Not tonight.

Lily
After two weeks at Kincaid-Rivers, Lily had almost forgotten about her first night there. She had done nothing but work for two weeks straight. She spent tireless nights hammering out proposals, assembling a new team, and getting a handle on the department. She hadn’t launched the platform, but she knew she was only a week away from the launch. This next week with the team was critical.
They were going to be in meetings non-stop, and she would have to work hand-in-hand with the tech team to ensure the roll out was flawless. It was hard to ignore the excitement she felt about her work. Even if she was here because of a debt, she had started to like the work. She had complete control over the team. Her vision was their vision. It was empowering, not to mention fun to run a powerful global division.
She had barely seen Jack or Sawyer in the last weeks. On occasion, she would pass one of them in the hall. But the door knobs in her office never rotated. They never knocked. Never dropped by. It was as if that encounter with them never happened. Sometimes she wondered if she had conjured it up. She wouldn’t be the only woman to meet the co-CEOs and fantasize about them. But together? Two men at once? That was beyond her scope of imagination, until now.
They never mentioned their offer. They never mentioned the baby.
By Friday night she started to worry the launch wasn’t going to happen in time. The only light in her office came from a small desk lamp. She huffed over the latest budget numbers. The team was giving her pushback on the new designs.
“Something wrong?” Her skin prickled when she heard his voice. She looked up to see Jack standing in the doorway.
She held her breath. “You scared me.”
“I didn’t mean to do that. I would never intentionally do that.” He walked deeper into the office.
