Let it be known thatI wasn’t prone to daydreaming. And yet, for the past few weeks, I'd done that a lot... even at the office.Especiallyat the office. All it took was hearing Colton's voice. If I accidentally saw him, I moved way past daydreaming, and my heart started fluttering. My stomach too.
One afternoon, I got an idea. A dangerous one. Colton had blocked his calendar with “science time” until late in the evening today. He told me that was code for wanting to work without any interruptions. But I had a hunch that he wasn't going to mind mine. I’d make it worth his while.
On one of my coffee breaks, I googled nearby lingerie stores. I was wearing lace underwear but needed a finishing touch. I wanted garters.
I found a store that was only five minutes away. Shortly before they closed, I jogged out the door of our building and headed over there.Fingers crossed that they have what I need!
I'd had a very sexy dream about everything we could do in Colton’s lab. To my intense joy, I found a pair of black garters. By the time I reached my office again, everyone else had left.
Time to put my plan into action.
I closed the door to my office and slid on my garters. You wouldn't know I was wearing them just by looking at me because I appeared perfectly professional.
I schooled my features as I left my office in case anyone else was still here. I went into Colton’s office first, only to find he wasn’t there.
Yes!This was my lucky evening. He was in the lab, and we were going to have super-forbidden but delicious sex there.
I walked briskly to the elevator, still working on schooling my features as I went one floor down and then down the corridor to the lab. I knocked three times at the door. There was no answer.
"Colton?" I called. There was still no answer. I knocked again, but I was met with silence. I plastered my ear to the door. There was no sound. Clearly, he wasn’t here.
Hmm. The only other place he could be was in one of the meeting rooms. I couldn’t imagine why he’d want to go there. He had plenty of space in his office, but he did say once that he liked to switch spots because it got his brain going. Maybe he'd needed a change of scenery.
I headed back up the stairs, working up a sweat, and then I had to stop and readjust the garters. One of them had slipped down. In my haste to clip it back together, I realized my palms were sweaty. I straightened up and headed into the biggest meeting room, walking with quick steps. The door was closed.
I knew it!He was inside.
I shimmied my hips, working up a seductive smile, then opened the door wide.
Only to come face-to-face with all his brothers and half brothers.
Colton looked up. "Zoey, did anything happen?"
Shit! I wasn’t prepared for this scenario. I wasn't sure if my poker face was working.
"H-Hey," I said, stammering a bit. "I didn’t realize you had a meeting. Your calendar had 'science time' on it."
"Zoey, hey," Jake said.
"Hi, everyone!” On any other day, I'd make chitchat, but right now I was too embarrassed to say anything. They might not know the intention behind my visit... but I did. "All right then, I'll leave you to your meeting."
"Wait, why did you come by?" Colton asked.
I swallowed hard.Don't blush, Zoey."It can wait until tomorrow. Have a good evening, everyone."
There was a chorus of "Good night" as I closed the door and breathed out a sigh of relief.
Crisis averted.

Istared at the dooreven after Zoey closed it, wanting to go after her. I had an inkling she'd come here for a reason, and I wanted to know what it was.
“Earth to Colton,” Jake said.
