“Yeah, but you could have coaxed her back into your bed. You’re CEO. Use your negotiation skills.”

I frowned. “You want me to negotiate sex? Takes the fun out of it doesn’t it?”

“You’re good at mergers, so I’d think you’d be good atthiskind of merger.”

“Jesus, Dex. Are you drunk?”

“No. Merge in bed. Best merger you’ll get these days.”

“No bed. We did it in the back of the bar,” I clarified.

“You… um… wow.” I hadn’t heard him sputter in a while.

“Right. Fine, it wasn’t a one-night stand. It was a quickie.”

“Yeah, gotcha. What’s her name? Maybe we all know her.”

“I’m not telling you her name. It doesn’t matter, anyway. I’m in fucking Denmark and then I’ll be in Asia. It’s not like her pussy’s anywhere near here for round two.”

“But it could be.”

I flopped my head back against the chair. “It was aquickie. I know barely anything about her.”

“But do you want to know more?”

Yes. Yes, I did. I absolutely, one hundred percent, wanted more. Not just sex. I wanted to know about her family that drove her to drink wine alone. Wanted to fuck her while we were face-to-face so I could watch her when she came. I wanted to do–

A fuck ton.

The connection. The chemistry. Off. The. Charts.

Was I like Dex getting one look at Lindy and buying her a ring? No. But I was all in for more. Except–

“Doesn’t matter, Dex. I’m based in Denver, not in Hunter Valley, and I’m all over the world from one day to the next.”

“This Hyport sale doesn’t have to happen. I think James Corp’s five hundred hotels, you’d think–”

“Five hundred and sixty-three.”

He scoffed. “Right, more to my point. You’d think we had enough money.”

“It’s not about the money,” I countered immediately. I was insistent on this deal and for reasons completely opposite of why any other CEO would want to take over another billion-dollar company. To give my father the fucking middle finger.

Now he sighed. “I know you’re trying to clean up Dad’s mess, but does it really matter?”

“Yes,” I said immediately. “It’s important to me that this deal with Hyport goes through. I want to right the wrong that Dad made. It’s all about integrity. Honor.”

“Not fucking the assistant,” he added.

“Exactly. I’m cleaning up the image. Everything Rated G. No sex parties. Nothing inappropriate. No talk of two-person showers in the suites,” I added so he’d know how tame and buttoned-up this all had to be.

“Shit, dude. Don’t go there.”

“Robert Hyport knows Dad as the fuck up that fucked everything. He knows me as the CEO who gets shit done. Who makes money. No kinky shit. No mixing sex and business.”

“Okay, so don’t mix them. You can still have the woman from Hunter Valley.”

“Not when my dick and her pussy aren’t in the same time zone.” Unfortunately.
