I cleared my throat. “So I’ve got this problem.”

“Yeah?”

“My new secretary is hot as fuck, and I don’t want to keep my hands to myself.”

Cooney chuckled and shifted on the couch, stretching his legs out on the ottoman. “You’ve got a problem alright.”

“It’s Dina’s sister—”

“Oh, shit.”

“—and she doesn’t like to be touched.”

“Sounds like the poor little rich boy can’t have what he wants for a change,” Cooney mocked.

I tossed a pillow at his head which he easily ducked and avoided. “Dina asked me to be her friend. Help her conquer her issues since I’m the first person Jasmine has actually wanted to touch her.”

“So it’s not that she isn’t interested in physical interaction.”

“Right.” I moved around on my chair, trying to get comfortable. Damn cookies. “I’m really not liking Becky right now.”

Cooney chuckled. “What happened to your usual self-control?”

“Out the fucking door,” I muttered, uneasy in a whole different way. I didn’t do shit on a whim. Spontaneity and I didn’t coexist in the same reality thanks to that night Dean and I had driven into New Hampshire and about ruined our lives.

Unaware of my past, Cooney continued laughing, and I watched my friend’s dark eyes twinkle with happiness. Becky had given him too much joy to keep contained.

Lucky bastard.

“So what caused Jasmine’s issues?” he asked.

“Not sure. Isn’t really something I can just ask about.”

“Dina said you’re the first guy her sister has actually wanted physical contact with?”

My cock tried to twitch again, but my stomach hurt too fucking much to pay it any mind. “We shook hands, and she started to have a panic attack, but yeah, guess she told Dina something different from what I expected after I helped her get ahold of her breathing.”

“You gonna be able to help her without losing control like you did with the cookies?”

“Fucking prick,” I mumbled.

He laughed, then groaned, holding his stomach. “Honest question.”

I huffed a breath. “If I jerk off a dozen times a day, maybe I can keep from doing something stupid.”

“You could always fire her,” Cooney said a few seconds later. “Out of sight, out of mind.”

I considered his words for a few minutes, same as I’d done that first time I’d laid eyes on her. “I’m in too fucking deep already.” Silence settled, and I glanced over at my buddy to find him peering at me, a grin on his face. “The fuck is on your mind, Cooney?”

“You’re crushing like a high schooler.”

Turning away, I closed my eyes and rested my head on the back of the recliner. “Fuck.”

He laughed again, deepening my scowl. “You gonna quit Elite too?”

I snorted, pretending I hadn’t already thought long and hard about taking my name off the list of available Doms for hire. “Fuck no.”

“Get involved with her, and she’ll definitely want you to stop being an escort. No woman I’ve ever met likes to share.”
