“Oh shit. It’s Friday, isn’t it?”
He laughed. “I live for Fridays. You need to work less and play more. I’m going skiing this weekend with my girlfriend. What are your plans?”
Kayla clung to the water bottle. “I thought I’d try something new this weekend.” She smiled. “I’ll see what happens.”
“Have a good one. You can tell me all about it Monday morning.”
“I don’t know about that.” She had to press her lips together to keep from smiling.
He walked out of the office with the biggest advertising decision of her life in his hands. She realized that somehow in that instant she had also made another decision. One that was maybe even bigger.
Fourteen
Kayla
She didn’t want to check her phone again for the time. It was well after six o’clock she knew that by the way the sun’s rays glowed across her office. The bookcase opposite her desk was orange with the last sunbeams of the day. She had no idea who had decorated her work space, but it was a dream office. The shelves were stocked with classics. She had the latest tech gadgets.
The leather sofas were a soft white and her accent pieces were touched with lacquered bamboo. Sometimes she liked to take off her heels and let her feet linger over the velvety texture of the faux fur rug. Everything about it was lush and elegant. Sophisticated and feminine. It was as if they knew her before she had ever walked through those doors three weeks ago.
And what had happened to her in those three weeks?
On her first day, she had walked in with a price tag on her head. She was worth something to her uncle, Wyatt, and Jason. She was defined by their arrangement. Locked into servitude because her uncle was a notoriously shitty businessman. Somehow the anger and resentment had faded.
She ran her fingers over the books, giving in to the temptation to take off her stilettos. She now basked in an unbelievable office. She had a staff that respected her. She was taking charge and control of a global department. It was hard to stay mad.
And then there were Wyatt and Jason. Two men she thought she would always hate. But the hate was never there. It never took hold the way she wanted it to. It would have made things easier if she despised them. It would have made more sense if she loathed their good looks and money. Their charm and sex appeal. It would have simplified the feelings swirling through her. It would have quelled the moral crisis she had for wanting a sexual relationship with two men. Hate would have been an easier answer.
Kayla walked to the built in bar that had been installed in the corner of the bookcase. She even had ready-made Cosmos at her fingertips. She mixed a drink in a crystal martini glass as the sun sank even further behind the skyline. The regret started to sink in. She had waited too long. She should have sought them out today. She should have done whatever it took to tell Wyatt and Jason that the answer was yes.
They had given her time. They had given her space. And God, they had given her so much pleasure. Promises of epic orgasms and spreading her sexual wings to a place she could only imagine.
She took a sip of the pink drink. Why in the hell did she hesitate? Why didn’t she tell them last week she wanted them?
She flopped onto the white couch, tucking her feet under her. Had she just made the biggest mistake of her life? Her eyes closed as she imagined what it could have been like. The office was quiet.
And then she heard it. The click-click of the private doors opening.
Kayla’s heart pounded. Her lungs seized with happiness.
“Hi, love.” Jason smiled.
“Never thought Friday would get
here,” Wyatt stated from the opposite side of the room. Her eyes bounced back and forth between them.
“You’re here.” She knew she sounded mesmerized.
Jason laughed. “Where else would we be? It’s Friday.”
“I believe you owe us an answer on our offer.” Wyatt waggled his eyebrows. “Your week is up and we’ve come for what we hope is an open negotiation.”
“I don’t think there’s anything to negotiate,” Jason interrupted. He turned to Kayla. “Did you have a good time in that room, love?” Jason asked. Her stomach flipped the way he used the pet name for her.
She was still breathing heavily. She couldn’t believe they were here. She thought she had lost them both.
Kayla’s eyes softened. “I did.” She bit her bottom lip, dragging her teeth across it.
Wyatt’s eyes bore into hers. “This is your chance, Kayla. Do you want what we’re offering you?”
