Shay nods. “The gaming industry is massive, yet lacks representation from diverse communities. I love that we’ll be able to reach people who may not have ever dreamed of this type of opportunity.”
Miles’s head snaps back and forth between us as we babble on and on.
“I like it but it’s your call, let me know how to staff it.” Miles stands and heads toward the door. “I’m heading out. See you tomorrow, Shay.”
“Have a great holiday,” I call after him.
Miles raises his hand but doesn’t look back as he walks away.
Shay and I both let out huge, cleansing breaths.
I notice the floor is practically empty and feel a little annoyed until I realize we let people off early for the holiday. “What time is it? I think most people have left already.”
“At least an hour ago.” Shay glances at her phone and bites her lip. Peers up at me. “Should we live life on the edge and get in a quickie?”
My dick instantly hardens. I nod, leaning in for a clandestine kiss. “I almost blew our cover…”
“I know.” Shay slaps at me playfully before kissing me again, this time with tongue. “Where should we…”
“What the hell is going on here?” Miles shouts. We both look up to find him standing at the door.
Well, sheeee-it.
Chapter twenty
Shay
Shay's Perspective
The world around us seems to disappear when we’re together.
Oh, I know it sounds like a sappy love song. A line from a romance novel. A trite Hallmark card. Until Austin and I started things up, I had no clue.
Now I do.
The taste of Austin’s kisses are addictive and I’m fully immersed in the euphoria of our romantic-moment love when the hair on my neck stands up. Austin and I pull apart the second we both realize we’re no longer alone.
Then whirl around to find the door to his office is wide open, and there, eyes burning with anger, is my twin brother, Miles.
I feel like I’ve been doused with ice water. Austin stumbles away from me, knocking his chair backward. He’s as shook as I am.
“Miles…” I bolt toward him, my voice trembling.
“What the hell is this?” Miles’s voice is low and controlled, which is scarier than if he were yelling.
Austin takes a deep breath, attempting to defuse the situation. “Stodge, let us explain. We—“
“You took advantage of my sister?“ Miles takes a threatening step toward Austin.
I’ve never seen him like this and I don’t know what to do.
Austin holds up his hand in surrender. “No. It’s not like that. Shay and I… We’ve grown close. It’s mutual. We were going to wait to tell your family…”
“You expect me to believe that? With your track record, Austin?” Miles sneers and directs his attention at me. “Do you know where his dick’s been? Huh?”
I file away the comment to discuss with Austin later, deciding to compartmentalize. Focus on the matter at hand.
“I’d never do anything to hurt Shay.“ Austin crosses his arms over his chest. “Never.”
