The commission on this is going to be crazy.

“Congratulations, Mr. Gambill,” Kyle says, standing up and shaking his hand. “I’m sure you’ll enjoy the heck out of that house.”

“I’m going to enjoy filling up all those bedrooms,” Austin says with a grin.

“You’ll just have to find a special woman to help you with that,” Kyle says with an easy laugh.

Austin’s sexy brown eyes flash to me and we share a secret smile.

I want to look professional in front of Kyle, who is now my working peer, so I put out my hand to Austin. “Congratulations on the house,” I say all professional-like. “It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

He shakes my hand and smiles warmly at me. “The pleasure has been all mine, Miss Ellison. I couldn’t have done it without you. I’ll tell all my friends about your excellent service.”

I hope he keeps it PG-13 when he tells them in the locker room.

“Thank you.” I release his hand and turn to Kyle. “Mr. Watson, I’m sure we’ll be working together again soon.”

We shake and then gather our things. We’re at his office, so Austin and I leave together.

“Miss Ellison,” Kyle says as we’re heading out. “Can I have a word in private?”

“Of course.” I nod to Austin and he continues out into the parking lot. “How can I help you?”

I slip back into his office and he closes the door.

“How the heck did you bag Austin Gambill as a client?” he asks, looking at me in awe.

“It was part of my marketing plan. Top secret stuff.”

He laughs as he sits on his desk. “It was very impressive. Have you been doing this for long? I haven’t seen you around.”

“I’m new on the scene,” I tell him with firm eye contact. “But I’m coming in hot. You’ll start seeing me around more and more. Bet on that.”

He chuckles. “I like your attitude. You’re feisty. And I like how you handled your client.”

I swallow hard. If only he knew how I handled him…

“I can tell that he trusts you completely,” he continues. “Do you think you can do that with other clients?”

Hmmm, I can’t sleep with every client, but I’ll figure it out.

“Yes,” I say with a confident nod. “It’s one of my strengths.”

He looks at me for a long moment. I can tell the wheels in his brain are turning.

“How would you like to join my team?”

My eyes widen so hard they hurt. He laughs.

“Seriously?”

Kyle Watson’s team is the dream team of San Antonio realtors. There’s Carol Johnson, superstar of Pecan Valley; Jamal Sloan, king of Alamo Heights; Regina Stockton, Wizard of the Inner West Side; and I can go on. It’s the who’s who of San Antonio real estate. Seriously, their real estate signs are everywhere.

I’d learn so much. It would be like taking a masterclass just being around them.

“I’m willing to try it out if you are,” he says with that same winning smile that’s on his For Sale signs. “What do you say?”

I put out my hand, look him dead in the eyes, and nod. “You won’t regret this.”
