“Especially Darin. He’s like a dog with a bone and won’t let up.”

I laugh. “I still can’t figure out why he and Vanessa are having problems. As persistent as Darin is, she should be planning a wedding to him.” The smile dies on my face. “Do you think she’ll come if we invite her for Thanksgiving?”

Will shrugs, navigating through traffic. “That depends on how she and Darin are doing. If things aren’t strained, then I’m sure she will.”

I hold up one hand. “Say no more. Are you meeting about Sumer Tech?”

He nods. “Yes, it will probably take about an hour and a half to two hours. It begins at 9:00 a.m.”

“Good.” My fingers fly over my phone. “I’m going to ask Darin to meet me for coffee.” I shoot Will a warning glare. “I’m not meddling, so don’t even say it.”

He grins, not saying a word. But it’s written all over his face.

“Stop it. I’m not meddling. I’m helping my brother solve his problem.”

“Uh-huh.” Will hits the turn signal, stopping at the light a block from his new office building. “Because Darin isn’t capable of solving his own problems, right?” He gives me a teasing grin, but there’s a trace of sarcasm in his voice.

“He needs my assistance to fix his relationship issues. And if you keep badgering me about meddling, you and I will have problems.” Crossing my arms over my chest, I shoot him a scathing glare.

He reaches his hand out, stroking my cheek. “You’re adorable when you’re pissed.”

I swat him away, making him laugh. “I know your tricks. Knock it off.”

“Those pregnancy hormones have you riled up today.” He accelerates as the light turns green.

My mouth drops open, but I’m stunned by his words, so no sound comes out. Finally, I slap his arm. “William Alexander Anderson! What the hell?” I can’t help laughing and it’s only made worse when he gives me that boyish grin. “You’re in a lot of trouble.”

“Blowjob in the car kind of trouble or…” He turns his head, wiggling his eyebrows at me.

I bite my lip, trying not to laugh. Giving him a stern expression, I say, “No blowjobs in the car. In fact, I didn’t say —”

“Oh, so a blowjob in the elevator. I’m here for that.” Winking at me, he pulls into a parking space.

“Are there cameras in the elevator?” Realizing what I just said, I try to backtrack. “I mean, if—”

“Why? Do you want me to send you the feed to watch later? I’m sure I can have Bryan zoom in—”

“No, we don’t need Bryan zooming in.” Shaking my head, I give him a stern look. “And there won’t be any blowjobs in the elevator.”

He chuckles. “Keep telling yourself that, love.” Opening the door, he hops out of the car while I sit there, hands in my lap, exasperated with him. Even though he’s so fucking hot.

My car door opens, and he extends his hand. Clasping his, I get out of the car, my gaze locked on his heated angelic blue eyes. His ethereal light blocks out the darkness within him, despite him being an ornery devil today. Lifting my hand, he twirls me around, then pulls me to him for a kiss, causing me to melt. When he releases me, he turns, holding my hand, and we head toward the door.

Little bastard. He knows how to work me.

We walk inside the modernized office building, my gaze assessing the interior as we head to the elevators.

“What do you think?” His low voice by my ear pulls my attention to him.

“Very posh. All the sleek black glass and modernized gadgets suit you.” The elevator doors open and we step inside. His grin is wicked as I shake my head. “No blowjobs here. Your office is a different story though.”

He throws his head back, laughing.

Smiling, I bite my lip, my gaze roving over him in a suit.God, I love seeing him so relaxed and carefree. And the man looks so fucking fine in a black suit.

When the doors open on the top floor, Will ushers me down the long hallway to his office. I take in all the modernized furnishings, my gaze raking appreciatively over the suite of offices.

“Want a job here?” Will jokes.
