“Of course.” She gives me a forced smile and I kiss her cheek, ready to leave before this gets any more difficult.
“I’ll call you,” I say as I thumb her pouty lip.
“Ok.”
Letting her out of my arms, I grab my jacket from the closet before heading out.

Megan’s eyes follow Grayson’s back as he leaves. After the door closes, her gaze returns to me. “Did he stay the night?”
I nod as I pick JD up from the floor and walk to the couch. “He did.”
Megs joins me. “So, are you two together?”
A frown forms on my face. “Honestly, I don’t know what we are. He’s incredibly hard to read. I feel like he’s keeping me at arm’s length and not letting himself get too close. Granted it’s only been a week.”
“Just be careful. He might be using you for sex. I don’t want to see you invest a lot of feelings and get hurt.”
I lower my head and pet JD, not wanting to admit it’s too late.
“You already have feelings, don’t you?”
“How could I not? We’ve been sleeping together, and Megan, he’s freaking huge!”
JD bounces out of my arms and scurries over to Megan to snuggle. Megan laughs as she places her hand over JD’s back.
“Lucky bitch. I bet he’s good in bed too.”
“So good!”
“Of course he is. Maybe it’s a good thing he’s going on this trip for the week. It’ll give you a chance to get your emotions in check.”
Bringing my knees to my chest, I hug them. “I’m gonna miss him.”
“Oh man, Em. You got it bad already.”
I rub my face, embarrassed. “Jeez, oh man. I do. Let’s go get breakfast. I need food and girl-time to snap out of the sulking mood I’m dangling on the edge of.”
Lifting JD in her arms, she stands from the couch. “Yes, let’s go. I haven’t had any food yet, I was too excited to bring JD over.”
“You know he’s adorable, right? You’re gonna have to stop me from trying to steal him.”
“I might be willing to arrange dual custody,” she says with a wink.
Chapter Thirteen
Emma
I spent the rest of the weekend hoping I’d see Grayson again, but he didn’t call on Sunday. Monday morning there’s no rose and disappointment slams into my gut. I turn on the computer and check my emails. There’s an all-staff email from Grayson letting us know he had to take a business trip to New York this week and that he left me in charge. The fact that he left me with that responsibility gives me a bit of pride, but in all honesty, I was the best choice. I’m the most experienced and the highest ranking agent, besides Rachel.
I barely get through my never-ending list of emails when I hear heels smack across the floor. I turn to see Rachel huffing and puffing and ready to blow down my office. “Guess you learned sex gets you what you want after all.”
Rolling my eyes, I turn back to my computer. “What are you chirping about?”
“Grayson made you Boss for the week. You and I both know it’s because you’re sucking his dick every morning.”
Really? This bitch is unreal.
