Weakly smiling, I think of Zoey, hoping I can have that with her.
You know what, fuck it!
Somehow, Iwillfind a workaround.
I can’t let Zoey slip by me.
She’s worth far too much.
HerandHailee.
Fuck Nash and his rules.
Tomorrow I’ll talk to him myself.
I am a fucking man, after all.
“I have someone, Bri. It’s new. It’s exciting, but there are complications I need to address before making any announcements.”
She smiles wide but doesn’t push. “Okay. I’m glad to hear this. I’m pretty sure I know who you’re referring to, and Blake, I amsohappy for you both. Nash will come around. He’s getting softer.”
I chuckle and nod. “Yeah, I’ve noticed.”
Brianna smirks, tilting her head. “I only want you to be happy, Blake. You, of all people, deserve that. Me and Nash have it. Even Lucas and Paisley got their happiness after everything they’ve been through. So if we all can be happy, I know you can too.”
Reaching out, I squeeze her hand. “I sure hope so, Bri. I sure hope so.”
She glances down at the menu, then picks it up. “You wanna grab something to eat? I’m hankerin’ for some of Marcel’s famous sushi.”
I raise my brow. “You can’t eat sushi, Brianna. Remember that little love bug inside you?”
Her hand moves to her stomach, and she groans. “Ahhh… shit! Yes. Dammit! Okay, let’s see what I can eat and make pigs of ourselves.”
Chuckling, I nod. “Good idea. And thank you… for being supportive.”
She winks. “You’ve always been supportive of me, even when I was going through shit with Nash. Even if you guys weren’t friends at that stage, you were still there, telling me I should follow my heart. You should follow yours, too, Blake. No matter the obstacles.”
No matter the obstacles.
She’s right. I need to fight for Zoey.
And that is exactly what I am going to do tomorrow with Nash.
Fight!
CHAPTER NINETEEN
Blake
The next morning as I walk into work, I have a pep in my step. Knowing I will see Zoey first thing before anyone else arrives has me on a high.
The thought of taking her on my desk does something to me, but I don’t want Nash or Lucas to walk in or embarrass her like that. So I will try to keep my dick in check.
Trybeing the operative word in that statement.
As the elevator dings, I step out and round the corner. Zoey is typing away on her computer, and a bright smile lights up my face as I step behind her and plant a kiss on her cheek. She turns to look at me and chuckles. “Mr. Branson, kissing your employees in the workplace, I could have you done for sexual harassment.”
Waggling my brows, I slide my hand along her thigh and up her skirt. “You think a kiss on the cheek is bad? The ways in which I want to violate you in this office would have me fired, no questions asked.” My fingers slide against her panties, and she lets out an audible gasp.
