“This,” Cash says as he opens the door to the office suite and waits for me to enter, “is all yours, if you want it. And before you think that I’m trying to control you and force you into small town living like Steven did, just listen to my pitch, okay?”

I nod numbly and don’t interrupt him. He’s nothing like Steven, but I’m too overwhelmed to tell him that.

“So, the woman here, Caris Milsom…she’s built the winery, and they want to start hosting weddings. We, as in the Milsom family, the James family, and Charles Landry, are going to build a hotel and restaurant here that will rival any hotel in Boston.

“The idea is that you set up your business here. It will be the elite of the elite. Not just people from Boston, but New York City, hell, maybe even London, will come here for your services. You’ll have full use of the hotel, restaurant, and property for your dates. You can host retreats, events, anything your heart desires that you think will lead to helping people find their perfect match.”

My eyes are alight as I listen to him. I’m practically salivating as I think of all the possibilities.

“You want your business. You want to be a mom. You want to be a partner in our relationship. You can do all of that here, Grace. I know it’s not Boston and I don’t want you to think I’m forcing this on you. If you say no, that’s okay, no hard feelings. But I don’t want you to think that you have to give up one thing for the other.”

He leads me down the hall, and we pass a few offices—more than we have in Boston and certainly more than I need for just Rachel and me—but I take it all in, storing away thoughts of what could be done as I see things that spark my imagination. We end at the last office. When he opens the door, I see it has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bay. It’s almost four o’clock, so the sun is already starting its descent. It’s beautiful and surreal. I shake my head in amazement.

“There’s a nursery on site. For now, it will just be for our baby, but eventually we will staff it for other employees as well. You won’t have to miss out on anything, Grace.” When he turns to me, nervousness worries around his eyes. But there is also that same boyish hope, the puppy dog anticipation, and the yearning to please that pools in those bourbon whiskey-brown eyes that I fell in love with so many months ago. The man who is always trying to give me everything, always pushing for more.

I smile as I turn to face him straight on and brush my hand against his cheek in wonder. “You did all this for me?”

Cash’s eyes watch as my own dart to his lips and then rise to meet his again. “I’d do anything for you, Grace.”

Shivers cascade down my chest and warm my belly. A tingling excitement springs on my cheeks, and my lips break out into a blinding smile. “I love it.” I throw myself at him, kissing him fiercely while also whispering between kisses, “I love you and I love all of it. Thank you, Cash.”

He pushes me back into my office and kicks the door shut with his leg. It’s quite comical because the walls are glass; the door is offering no barrier. Not that anyone is in the office today. It’s a federal holiday and these offices aren’t inhabited yet either way.

“Hmmm, this doesn’t offer the same privacy as my office; we may need to rethink this,” I tease him as he pushes me back against the sleek black desk. The walls which aren’t glass are a lilac color and the chairs, like my office in Boston, are a deep amethyst color.

Cash has me on the desk and is pulling my pants down to my ankles before I can think to object. “Top drawer, Gracie,” he says, nodding to the other side of the desk. I lean back and reach into the drawer, pulling out the only item in there, a thin black remote.

My forehead creases in confusion. “This better not be a sex toy, Whiskey.”

He throws his head back in a deep chuckle which has me clenching tightly. “No, you dirty girl, it’s for the glass. Privacy curtain.” I glance around the office but fail to see curtains anywhere.

Cash laughs and grabs it from me. When he hits the button, the room grows dark. We never turned on the light, and now that the glass is shaded, even the low sunlight evades our eyes. “Ohhh,” I crow in excitement. “Never mind, this will work.”

He chuckles again, but this time I feel it against my skin as his warm breath leads a trail toward my panties. Yes, I’m wearing them today and he’s not thrilled. “Really, Angel, I thought we had an understanding?” He looks up and meets my eyes with a dare.

“Cassius James, I am not going to be panty-less every day if we are working in the same office building.”

I feel Cash’s smile against me. He pulls the cloth to the side, and his tongue darts in and out, drawing a hissing breath from my mouth.

“Really, Gracie? After this wonderful surprise today, buying you an office building, creating a dream job for you, you’ll threaten to withholdthisfrom me?”

I bite back a smile.He bought me a building!Let me repeat that…the man bought me a building! And built me a perfect office. With a nursery. I mean…if I wasn’t already wet from what he was doing, good lord, I’d be drenched. He hits another button on the black clicker, and the glass wall behind me which is shaded turns into a mirror. And now all I can see is the way his neck strains as he runs delicious, teasing circles against my clit.

Holy fuck, this is hot.

“I know you like to watch,” he murmurs.

“Okay, you win. No panties in the office,” I manage to pant out as I start riding his face, even more turned on now that I can watch his every move and my own body’s reaction to his every touch. It’s erotic in a way I can’t describe. This must be how he feels when he watches us on his camera. Suddenly curious, I ask, “Wait, do you keep recordings of the surveillance videos from your office and the penthouse?”

Cash growls against me as he pulls me closer. When he looks up at me, his hair falls across his face, and he continues to work his tongue, but his eyes remain on me. “Why? You want to see them, Gracie?”

I suck in a breath. Everything is too much. The feelings. The way he’s looking at me. The business. The naughtiness. It all makes me dizzy. “Do you watch them?” I ask as I feel my eyes growing hooded.

Cash nods against me.

“Do you take your cock out when you do?” I practically whimper.

His eyes lock on mine as he nods.
