“I can understand that you were concerned, and I’d have done the same in your spot,” he replied before he gave me a wink and I let out a big smile.
“Well, I think you should grab your coat.” I pulled my hand back and pushed myself to stand. “Dad needs to know my conditions about being CEO.”
Chapter6
Tate
What was it with an impromptu text that could make or break a day? I thought today was just going to be a ball of laughs full of paperwork, but instead I got a message from one Sutton Wilkinson.
Asher and I will be at your office at nine. Don’t be late and make sure your personal assistant has my cup of tea waiting.
I rearranged my hard cock in my suit trousers and wondered how much anger she could spout from her mouth if I actually did turn up late. It was damn torture as my girth rubbed against the seam and I glanced at my watch; twenty minutes before I saw those rounded lips, hips, and ass again. Fuck.
It was a pity Sutton wasn’t already here in the room. A visual show would be so much better than the concocted one in my mind. I was already sitting behind my desk, my hand precariously placed as I buzzed through to Liv and awaited her answer.
“Liv, can you get coffees sorted please,” I asked the moment I saw the green light beckon, not giving her cheerful tone the chance for her to hit my ears. “Miss and Mr. Wilkinson are on their way. Filter for him, and a latte with cream for her.”
“And you, Mr. Hillside. What would you like?” I lifted my lips and fought the chuckle as a list of services Sutton Wilkinson could provide sprung to my mind. My cock twitched in agreement. “Same as Miss Wilkinson, please. I need them waiting here in the office at nine.”
“Of course, sir,” she replied. I put the receiver down and I knew I had fifteen minutes to make good use of my en-suite.
With five minutes to spare, I threw the towel into the bin after I’d washed my hands and straightened my tie before I made my way back over to my desk. I wondered what business Miss Wilkinson had in store for me today, because if she was in tow with her elder brother this could be a lot of fun.
The moment my office door opened, and Liv escorted both Sutton and Asher into my office, with added takeaway coffee cups. I gave Sutton a nod which she returned with a smile. Her red fitted dress was sexy as fuck and she wore a matching shade of lipstick; I was glad I’d taken the ten minutes reprieve in the bathroom. Not like it fucking mattered now. She took the coffee cup from Liv and headed straight to me with a swagger in her hips, as Asher shut the door behind him.
Fuck me.
I rounded my desk and leaned over in the pretense of looking for a document before I straightened my tie against my shirt and sat down; all the while I felt her gaze and breath close to me.
“Mr. Hillside,” Sutton began, as my gaze snapped up. “Sorry, Tate, your coffee.”
“Thanks, sugar?” I winked.
“Sorry, has it got sugar in it?” she questioned as she rolled her eyes back.
“I hope so, even though I’m sweet enough. Liv’s probably done it already. What can I help you both with?” I indicated to the seats across from me as Asher took a sip of his drink and scrunched up his face. “Not to your liking, Asher?”
“Nope, who likes filter shit anyway?” he asked as he put it on the side and reached for the glass of water I’d placed for myself earlier. “You two can drink that?”
“Mine’s delicious.” I raised a brow and winked at Sutton as she nodded back.
“Well, I’m here to make amends,” she admitted as she took another sip of the coffee and leaned forward. “I’m not scared, Tate, to admit when I’m in the wrong. Asher and I had a long talk and went through a few things yesterday. Mainly revolving around you.”
“Will I like where this is going?” I piped up. I slid my chair back an inch in the hopes I may catch a glance of those luscious legs that were crossed at the thigh.
What I’d give to have them wrapped around my waist and her pinned to the wall. Hmm.
“Let her speak,” Asher demanded. “Give her a chance to say what she needs to.”
“Yesterday, I told my father that if he was determined I was to run Wilkinson Investment Corporation, then I wanted Asher by my side, on my management team. He knew he didn’t have much of a say, but as you know, Asher’s helped form a lot of the major deals within the company. I wasn’t going to let him not continue that hard work,” Sutton continued as she smiled at Asher. “With the two of us together, we have the structure of a highly successful team, but I need one more piece.”
“What’s that?” I grinned as I wondered where the hell this was going.
“You know how to land deals. Asher said you taught him all he needed to know,” she admitted shyly, as she pulled her bottom lip into her mouth and teased me. All I wanted to do was taste that lip, run my tongue along it and pull it in my mouth. I watched her with fasciation as my animalistic tendencies wanted to take over. My heart beat a little faster and I could feel the locked tension between us, even in the shyness she showed. “I want to know it all too.”
I was flummoxed. I barely managed to keep my poker face intact wondering what the hell Asher was up to. He hadn’t given me an idea of what he was up to. Was it even a game?
I leaned back into my chair and interlocked my fingers together. “Well, why don’t we make a start now; business ethics and all takes time. It’s all a long road,” I admitted as I watched her ass squirm in the chair.
