“How the fuck are you doing this?” I shouted.
“Rae’s on it,” he answered. “And if you think for one second I’ll allow you to pull shit like that and walk away scot-free?—”
“You know, I never understood that phrase. What exactly does that mean?” I interrupted, trying to redirect the conversation. “Does it only apply to Scottish people? Because I’m not, boss.”
“It’s actually referring to a medieval tax,” Lock supplied. “If you didn’t have to pay it, you got off scot-free.”
“Huh, I never would have guessed it.”
“Well, you learn something new every day,” Lock shrugged.
“Brock!” Cash shouted, drawing my attention back to him. “Listen to me right now. I do not want to see any more of that shit. Do you understand me?”
“Yes, boss.” The phone went silent for a second before he added, “And don’t even think about hiding in a bedroom. I will know if you fuck with her.”
I rolled my eyes. “Boss, you can trust me. It will never happen again. I was simply proving a point to her.”
“That’s not any fucking better!”
“Alright, alright. I got the point. Hands off.”
“Don’t fucking make me take you off close protection.”
My ears perked up at that. “Really?”
“And then I’ll make you join FNG’s team. You can watch over Fox for the next twenty years.”
Lock snorted in amusement. “That’s just mean,” I grumbled.
“Hands off.”
“Yeah, yeah.” I hung up just to piss him off. “The man didn’t have to threaten me like that. I’m not gonna touch her again.”
“Right,” Lock laughed. “Looks like that payday is coming in hot.”
“You know, I really don’t like working with you right now. What happened to the Lock that wasn’t an uptight asshole?”
“Oh, he’s still there. Go fix things with Wren. The last thing we need is to be fired from the job.”
“Yeah, that’s my biggest concern right now,” I muttered under my breath.
“You should be concerned about losing that money.”
I flipped him off.
“I feel that payday coming in hot!”

WREN
Breathing heavily, I yanked my skirt down and turned with as much dignity as I could muster, shoving my way into my room. After closing the door, I sank back against it, closing my eyes as I tried to shove the indecent thoughts of Brock from my mind.
Has your rich boyfriend ever made you come like that?
Bryce and I had never done anything sexual. It wasn’t like that between us. We were simply together for the sake of publicity. I always assumed that when the time came, we would have children and continue the family legacy. But I hadn’t thought about it beyond that. There were other ways to have a baby that didn’t include sex.
And on that note, I had always considered surrogacy. Why any woman would want to push a human out of her vagina was beyond me. It would ruin my figure, and that wasn’t something I was willing to sacrifice for a tiny human who would only be a nuisance.
