Despite the fact that her uncle was the only family she had left, she despised that he had put her in this position. She had to push down the anger that was under the surface. Sawyer and Jack were holding something over him. She knew that. She just didn’t know what. She wouldn’t be here otherwise. She didn’t know who to blame: her uncle, or the god-like men in front of her.
“I assume he told you we are in need of a new advertising director?” Sawyer was direct.
“Yes. He did.” She fidgeted in her seat. “I brought my resume if you’d like to see it. I have a degree from Brown and I’ve worked for three years as an advertising project manager. I didn’t break into advertising right away. I had to work smaller jobs, mostly online freelance work, but I worked hard and I think my resume shows what I can do.”
The men exchanged looks. Jack spoke up. “I don’t think we need to see it. You’re practically family, right?.” He rose from the couch. “Ben married Rachel. We already have a connection.”
“We do?” she whispered.
“Of course. And in our business, nothing matters more than connections. When can you start?”
Sawyer interrupted. “You’re satisfied?” he asked his friend.
Jack nodded. “Most definitely. You handle the details. I’m looking forward to seeing how this unfolds.” He winked.
Lily didn’t know whether to be elated or not. “I-I don’t understand,” she stammered. “I have the job just like that?”
Sawyer smiled. It made her knees go weak. She almost lost her breath. Why was she reacting like this? She was s
upposed to hate this man, not react like a teenager. But it was hard not to picture him the way she did when he was standing at the alter.
He had stolen her breath then, just like he did now.
“Just like that.”
When he winked, she had to put her hand on the couch to steady herself. These men had her completely undone and there was no explanation for it.
“Thank you. I know you’re doing this as a favor to my uncle. The entire arrangement. I know you don’t really need me at Kincaid-Rivers.”
Sawyer laughed. “After meeting you, I might see it as the other way around.” He stepped toward her. She felt the heat rise between her legs. He had an unreal effect on her. “We absolutely need you, Lily.”
“When do you need me to start Mr. Kincaid?” She was afraid her voice sounded breathy. Her heart beat erratically. What in the hell was going on?
“Jack, should we talk for a minute?”
“I think that’s a good idea.”
“Wait.” She felt panicked. “Did I lose the job?”
“Of course not. You start today, Lily. But Jack and I might want to consider a second offer. Something more detailed. We’ll discuss it and call you back in. And please. Call me Sawyer.”

Jack
When Sawyer had first mentioned the Gino land deal, he sounded insane. But after meeting Lily, he knew Sawyer had never had a better idea in his life.
It was as if something had happened to him at Ben’s wedding. He was standing up on that alter with his best friend. And what did they have to go home to? No one. Not even a damn dog. It got old fucking bridesmaids, and random women. Jack knew in that church, the minute he watched Ben take his vows that he was missing something in his life. Was it possible it was a woman like Lily?
It had been a long time since he and Sawyer had shared someone. And to bring someone into the arrangement like this seemed like a bad idea, but one look at Lily and he knew she was the one.
She was fucking gorgeous. A goddess. She had beautiful auburn hair with sun-kissed highlights. And her soft lips were damn kissable on the spot. He didn’t know how they were going to convince her to belong to them, but he was sure going to try like hell.
Sawyer would do the same. He knew without a doubt, she was the woman for them. The only unfortunate part was that they didn’t meet her at the wedding. He would have loved to have seen her dressed up for the reception. He would have loved to have held her in his arms and danced with her, passing her off to his best friend.
They could have shared her all night, under the lights of the ballroom chandeliers.
Instead, he had danced with Ben’s aunt and a flock of college girls trying to get laid. It didn’t matter. They had her now.
