“I want to talk to you first.”
There isn’t a moment of hesitation on her part when I pat the space beside me. Shuffling closer, she nestles into my side as I wrap my arm around her shoulders.
“You said earlier that you need experience?”
“Like really bad. I’ve got a few references from back home, but it’s not exactly screaming ‘hire me.’”
“Well, I have a proposition for you, and I don’t want you to think of it as me handing you the job because we’re…together.” Summer instantly tries to pull away, but I keep her plastered to me so that she has no choice but to stay chill and listen. “This house is great, but it’s got no real personality, and I have no idea what to do with it. Or what it needs to feel warmer and homier.”
“Parker…”
“Hear me out before you decide that you don’t want to take me up on my offer.”
“You just said we’re together.” Tucking her legs under her, Summer swivels toward me so that we’re eye to eye.
“I did.”
“Let’s not complicate that. You’re already my boss here, and our time together is limited as it is.”
“Summer, I’m going to have to hire someone to—”
“No, you’re not.” She scoots forward, her thumb raking over the edge of my jaw. “I’m going to help you, I’m just not going to take your money for it. If we’re together, then we help each other out, right?”
“Right. You help me, and I help you.”
“Oh crap, you have that calculated glint in your eyes again.” The oh shit expression morphs into a give it to me cocked brow.
“Kate and Amelia are running more events here now that the company is growing, and with the live music nights, I want to theme them. But to do all those things, I’m going to need someone with taste and who knows what they’re doing.”
“I’m not an event planner, Parker, and you’re not an interior design company that’s going to give me solid references or maybe employ me.”
“The hotel has over two hundred rooms that will require updating and redecorating. For which I will pay someone, and yes, I know that doing the themed decor isn’t what you’re going to school for, but I’m a Hawthorne, and that has its advantages.” Before she has the chance to protest, I add, “Everyone needs a leg up at some point in their career. I was born with one, and I’ll be damned if I can’t help my girlfriend with hers.”
“Girlfriend…” The murmur is followed by a bright smile that makes my pulse stutter when she grasps my face in both of her hands. “I don’t want to take advantage of you…boyfriend.”
This conversation needs to get done stat so I can take full advantage of her.
“You help me, and I help you. While I know that event decor isn’t what you want to do, it’s something that you can fall back on. We all need that, beautiful. It also means that you’ll be getting a decent check…and we get more time together so that I can spank that glorious ass of yours tender and kiss it better afterward.”
“Parker…” she whines as I drag her onto my lap and kiss her neck, nipping at the spot where my mark has faded. The tang of her perfume consumes my senses with every lick and kiss to her ear. The throaty moans she lets out make my blood pound harder and hotter.
“Say yes, Sum,” I murmur into her ear.
“Parker…”
I suck lightly. “Summer.”
“Parker…”
My hands slip beneath her skirt, twisting into the sides of her panties. “Baby…”
“No fair,” she breathes, fingers twinning in my hair when I drag her pussy over my hardening cock.
“Say yes.”
Summer nods before she kisses the only reply I want to hear over my lips, and I slip my fingers beneath her underwear, rubbing the top of her slit lightly until she’s begging for more while cursing my name. Exactly the way it should be.
