Even without the sex, this morning has been perfect.
Yeah, I’m not ready for this to end. This could go on forever and I’d be happy.

The guys are in a meeting this afternoon when I check in on Sara. She’s got files open on her desk and her eyes glued to her screen. She’s a hard worker, which is good. It means I can sneak out without her following me.
I let the receptionist know I’m leaving, and when I reach the lobby, I run into Drew. I check my watch.
“It’s after lunchtime. She ate at her desk.” I eye him up and down.
Drew smiles. “Just thought I’d drop in and say hi. Boyfriends can do that, right?”
I shake my head. “Don’t know. I’ve never been a boyfriend before.”
“I wasn’t ever a good one.” Drew shrugs it off like it isn’t a big deal. “Where are you off to?”
“We have an employee that’s sick. It might be something more or she might have caught something on her cruise.” I glance back toward our offices. “It will help settle Sara’s mind if I find out for sure.”
“You’re going alone?” He glances around as if suddenly aware it’s just me.
I smirk. “I’m usually enough.”
Looking me up and down, he chuckles. “But if you go missing, my girl won’t rest until you’re found. I’ll tag along.”
Raising an eyebrow, I say, “I didn’t really ask you to.”
“Too late. I’m invested. Let’s go and then I can come back a hero to my girl.” Drew gives me an evil grin, knowing exactly what he’s doing.
“Our girl.” It’s useless to argue. In public, she’s his girl. He follows me down to the garage. Might as well make use of this time alone with him. “Are you going to the fundraiser on Saturday?”
None of us have talked about it. But our firm has a table. We’ve all had dates for months.
“Tom was supposed to go so we have an open seat. You could bring Sara.” And that way I don’t have to worry about her while we’re all occupied.
“Sounds good. Do you all have dates?” He meets my gaze over the top of the car.
“Yes.” That’s a problem for another day. Sara isn’t going to like it, but it also shows that she’s dating Drew and we’re all okay with it. Every now and then a rumor will pop up about me and Sara. I’ve taken her out of events before to prevent something happening with Wyatt.
That won’t be an issue this time though.
If she does something to upset Wyatt, he’ll just punish her when we get home.
“Does Sara know yet?” Drew takes his phone out of his pocket.
“We haven’t discussed it.” I navigate the roads using the GPS. “I wasn’t even sure if we were still going, but we might be able to ask around about Tom’s secret client.”
“She knows now.” Drew puts his phone down. “It’s only proper for me to ask.”
I shake my head with a reluctant grin. “You’re enjoying this being-her-boyfriend thing a little too much.”
He shrugs. “That’s what I wanted from the start. To date Sara. Even though she was just looking for an easy fuck.”
“Hmm.” Not real happy to hear that. Not surprised, but not happy.
“Didn’t know I’d need to stand in line for her though.”
I glance his way but he doesn’t seem upset by that fact. Just saying what’s on his mind. Besides the strip club, there really aren’t any red flags with Drew. He’s a player but that’s not unusual in our world. The cheating is not great, but he didn’t do it to someone he really wanted to be with, according to him. Sara is different.
