He nodded. “I do.”
“Are you going to tell me?”
He shrugged his massive shoulders. “It depends. Are you going to cancel the meeting, Vanessa?”
I thought about the options. I thought about how dangerous it was having Isaac in my office. The nearness of him drove me crazy. But my curiosity was at an all-time high.
“Just tell me. Tell me who it is.” I exhaled, grimacing at the shameless way I begged for information.
“It’s Dylan.”
Oh my God. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe him. Was he messing with me? Was he trying to get a reaction from me?
“Dylan James? You can't be serious.”
“I am. He's yours for the rest of the season. Or maybe it's the other way around.”
My eyes cut quickly. “What does that mean?”
“Exactly what I said. Which way is it?” He folded his arms and watched me.
“I can’t believe you would ask me that. I have no idea how this is going to work. But I don't belong to anyone, Isaac.” I felt the fire in my stare. I wasn’t property.
“Got it. I’ll stay out of it. I got what I wanted.” He smirked. It was annoying how much sexier he was now that I knew all the things his tongue could do.
“The kiss?”
“I wanted to taste you. I wanted to hear how you would moan.”
There was an undeniable quiver in my belly. I was afraid my knees would give way.
He leaned in closer. I could feel the heat of his breath over my cheek. “I don't care how fake the relationship is, I’m not going to help you cheat on my best friend. If you belong to him then you're off-limits to me.”
“I just finished telling you that I don't belong to anyone.” I realized I was making the argument that I was available. That somehow he shouldn't worry about the arrangement with Dylan. The kiss had me upside down.
“I live by a code, Vanessa. I’m not going to break it.”
My chest heaved. Did the fact that he was telling me there would be no more kisses make me want more? I wanted to grab his hands and put them on my ass. I wanted to press my body into him. I wanted to feel his tongue again.
“And that kiss was within the code?” I was trying to understand.
He rubbed the scruff on his jaw. “Your engagement hasn’t been announced. I figured I had a little time until you were someone else’s woman.” He winked.
I didn’t know whether to be furious or grateful. Whether to throw him out of my office or ask him to throw me on the desk.
I also didn’t know how I was going to make it through this meeting without thinking about all of that. Isaac Price was dangerous.

Dylan
It all came down to an auction. The woman had fallen into my hands. I had to be the luckiest mother fucker there was on the team.
Isaac was with her now. He said they had a scheduled meeting. I figured he would break the news to her before Steve had a chance to talk to her about what happened last night. As long as Rocks wasn’t the one who ended up with her, I think we all could agree it was the best outcome for her.
And I got to fuck her this season.
