Next, I message Frank.

“What are you doing?” Cat says, reaching for my phone. I pull it back and slip it into my pocket.

“I have to go. We have all week to discuss plans. We can do lunch tomorrow if you want,” I offer to the three of them.

Carter and Chase nod, but Cat hasn’t taken her eyes off me. “Are you going to see her?”

Both my brothers look between Cat and me and neither of us blink. “I’m leaving. I’ll see you later.”

Cat shakes her head, but I don’t stick around to continue the fight. How the hell am I ever going to get my family on board with my new relationship?

Chapter28

Grace

You don’t need to send a driver. I promise I’ll show up.

I laugh to myself as I put down my phone; the man is so bossy. Within seconds it’s ringing.

“Mr. James, you do realize I have clients other than you, right?”

“My driver is outside. Get in the car, Grace.”

I roll my eyes to the ceiling. “I need to go home first to grab clothes.”

Cash’s laughter reaches through the phone and grips my heart. “No, sweetheart, you do not need clothes for what I have planned tonight.”

“I’m not coming to the hotel panty-less.”

“You’re not coming to the hotel at all. Frank’s bringing you to my new place.”

“You have a new place?” He literally told me two days ago he lived in a hotel. Since that time we’ve spent one night apart. How in the hell did he find the time to move in somewhere new?

“Less talking. Go downstairs, Grace.”

I sigh in resignation. “Fine, but you owe me a pair of panties.”

He laughs again, and I grip my chair and clench my legs. “Angel, I’ll buy you a drawer full if you’ll just get in the fucking car and get that pretty little pussy over here. I’m starving.”

Well, that about does it. Pretty sure I just came.

The black sedan is parked in front of my office, and the driver must have been given a picture of me because as soon as I open the door, he walks up and introduces himself. “Ms. Kensington?”

Maybe it’s a requirement that all men I interact with lately are good-looking because this guy is hot with a capital H. Broad shoulders, insane green eyes, and chiseled cheekbones leave me wondering if he’s a model or my driver for the night. “You can call me Grace,” I say as I hold out my hand to shake his.

He winks and shakes my hand. “Frank. It’s nice to meet you, Grace. Mr. James is looking forward to your arrival.”

So formal. I smile like a schoolgirl and slip into the car as he opens the door. Being with Cash definitely has its perks.

“So how long have you been working for the James family?” I ask when he settles into the front seat. The car smells new, and I sink back against the cream leather seats.

“Been best friends with Cash since college. When he took over a few weeks ago and his family forced a driver on him, he asked if I’d step in.”

“That’s why the car smells so new.”

He meets my eyes in the rearview mirror. “He really likes you.”

My cheeks warm and I relax. “I really like him too.”
