I laughed slightly, doing my best not to give the game away. “Uh…he just left.”
“That was not Cash.”
“Yes, it was.”
“Look, I don’t know Cash very well, but I do know that the man doesn’t act like he has a stick up his ass.”
The mission was going down in flames. I had to save it fast. “Look, he doesn’t want anyone to know, but he’s having a hard time with Eva. They’ve been trying for a long time to have a baby, and it hasn’t been working.”
Sebastian’s face instantly cleared of all suspicion. “Seriously? I had no idea. I thought they were just waiting.”
I nodded. “Yeah, it’s been rough on them. I’m not sure they’re going to make it.”
That seemed to really hit him, and I almost felt bad for lying. It was true that Cash had been trying to get Eva pregnant, but I had no idea if they were actually having trouble or if it was just bad timing.
“Crap, well, that certainly explains why he’s not acting like himself. I had no idea.”
“Yeah, well, he doesn’t want anyone to know, so don’t mention it.”
“If he doesn’t want anyone to know, how do you know?”
“I overheard them talking. Well, more like fighting,” I snorted. “It was pretty heated, and I knew he didn’t want me to hear it, so I pretended I didn’t hear a thing.”
“Wise.”
I nodded and waited for his reaction, but that seemed to be it. We fooled him successfully. I just had to hope I could pull it off for the rest of the time I was here.

“You toldhim I was having trouble with Eva?” Cash shouted, interrupting my story once again. He shot upright from the table, throwing off his towel, instantly surprising the masseuse who just moments ago had her hands on his body.
Didn’t he know what he was giving up right now? I hadn’t ever had a massage like this. It was just wrong to get up and leave when you had these magical hands on you. But the way he was storming around the room, I knew I needed to follow.
“Boss, I had to keep cover!” I followed his lead, getting up from the table, but I took my towel with me. I was a married man now. I couldn’t allow other women to see my body.
“You brought my marriage into your lies. You said we were having problems having a baby!” he shouted as he pulled on his jeans. “What the fuck is wrong with you?”
I didn’t understand the problem. It wasn’t like it was true. “I…Boss, you have a kid. What’s the problem?”
“The problem?” I laughed sarcastically. “We really were having problems getting pregnant!”
Well, I didn’t know that. I had been gone for over a year. “Okay, but that’s over and?—”
“And it’s nobody else’s goddamn business.”
He grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head. Meanwhile, I was still standing there in my towel, wholly unaware of how to fix the problem in front of me.
“That’s not the kind of shit a man wants broadcasted,” he said, turning to me with one last glare.
I realized in that moment that he was truly pissed and was going to walk out on our amazing massage. My day of fun was over. I hustled over to my clothes, but before I could get them, he snatched them up and walked out of the room.
“Guess you’ll be staying behind.”
I stared at him incredulously. My boss had a mean streak. I just didn’t realize it until this moment. No bother, I would just follow him out in my towel. It wasn’t like I was shy. Besides, my nudity wasn’t nearly as important as fixing this rift growing between us. I followed him right out in only my towel, earning more than a few shocked looks from the ladies in the waiting area. I winked at them, making sure to keep a hand on the knot of my towel. I didn’t need to shock the hell out of them when they saw my package.
“Boss, you can run all you want, but you won’t get away from me! I don’t mind running around in a towel.”
