I haven’t seen him date anyone in the last six months, but I’m not here on weekends—unless it’s an emergency or the odd out-of-town trip. His mother, Adelle, is present in their lives and steps in if needed.
I resist the urge to reach for his drink and gulp it down. Sitting on the chair across from him, I drum my fingers on my knees. Doing the right thing is so much easier in my head than in reality. “I wanted to talk to you because I know you saw my profile on Sugar & Silk.”
He lifts his eyebrow and tilts his head to the side, but his facial expression gives nothing away.
Threading my fingers into one another, I clear my throat and continue, “I wanted to say that my having a profile on that site doesn’t interfere with my job in any way.”
I wouldn't be explaining myself if he found me on a regular dating app. But Sugar & Silk is a sugar baby agency known for rich older guys taking women out and giving them gifts.
“I expect you to have a life outside of work,” Sebastian says, but his voice is tight and calculated. Tension crackles between us, and I bite the inside of my cheek, bracing myself for the worst. “I’m curious, though… Why a sugar baby agency?”
My stomach contracts. “Why not?”
“I didn’t know you were drawn to older men.”
I chuckle nervously. “Well… age isn’t a requirement. I wanted to try because, you know, guys my age are assholes for the most part. I thought maybe someone more experienced would know how to treat a woman.”
“That’s fair.”
“Why are you… on the site?” I glance at him, and he looks at his glass of red wine and then takes a sip. I chew my bottom lip, unsure if I should keep talking or come up with an excuse and take off. This… is not good. I shouldn’t have asked. He asked me, sure, but there’s no need to continue this inappropriate conversation. I stand with one clumsy move. “I better go… it’s getting late.”
He stands. “I joined for companionship. You know… easy conversation and stuff.”
Sex. That’s what he means. Easy conversation and casual sex.
The idea sets my hormones on fire, and warmth spreads across my cheeks. “Well, good luck with all the… stuff.”
We’re standing within feet of each other, staring, and for a moment, I feel like he’s about to lean down and kiss me. Pull me into his arms and crush my lips with his. My pussy clenches, and anticipation rushes through my veins. I part my lips without taking my eyes off his and move an inch closer. Being so close to him, alone with him, does things to me. My breasts are heavy and fuller than usual—which is saying something.
It's like his nearness makes every female part of me rejoice.
He takes a step back and clears his throat, looking away. “You too.”
I nod and turn to leave, marching into the house and scurrying to the safety of my bedroom.

“Anything else, Mr. Green?”my assistant asks after I’ve given her a few things to do before she leaves.
“Nah. I’m going home.”
She nods and leaves.
I glance around my spacious office, decorated with an elegant, understated combination of expensive furniture and custom-made sculptures. The designer said we wanted a look that hinted at money and success. Being responsible for investing people’s money, it’s no surprise that I have to show my clients I’m successful. If only I were as successful in ending my thoughts of Kendall after our conversation last night.
I was surprised when she came to me and explained her presence on Sugar & Silk. I guess she knew I’d seen it—I didn’t even think about it then. I was still shocked about seeing her fun, outgoing profile and pictures that would make any red-blooded man drool. She said she wanted to be treated well. How is that not already happening? I shouldn’t dwell on her dating life. It’s none of my business.
I stand and slide my phone into my pocket before leaving the office. Entering the elevator, I greet the employees inside. The doors open a minute later at the parking garage.
I slide into my car and peel out of the garage.
What if Kendall has found someone? My heart deflates, and my shoulders drop a notch. She deserves the world. What guarantee does she have she’ll get it randomly? I know that Sugar & Silk has a good reputation, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t sleazeballs out there, ready to take advantage of someone like her.
I get home and see a polished Mercedes parked in the driveway.
Oh, right. Today’s Friday, and my mom is taking Brynlee away for the weekend. Their annual grandmother and granddaughter little trip. They go to a house by the lake and enjoy quality time.
