all that interested in me.”
    “You’re wrong. She’s very interested. Sorry to tell you, bro, but she won’t let you have her as one of your bunnies. From what I saw, she’s not only beautiful, but also very intelligent and she sure knows what she wants. She might be the perfect companion for you.”
    “Or she might not,” Ter murmured.
    “That, only you can find out,” Grant said and they both stayed silent for the remainder of their walk. As they entered the apartment, a very surprised Sam in pajamas greeted them.
    “What are you two doing back so soon?” Sam kissed Grant and then turned to Ter. “I thought you were charming some beautiful woman?”
    “I was. It didn’t work and she took off.”
    Sam made a face and came around to hug him. “Better luck next time.”
    They wandered into the living room and Terrence settled on the couch while Sam snuggled up on Grant’s lap. Talking about their siblings and parents, Sam asked, “Have you met my cousin Preston? He’s up in Sandy Beach.”
    Ter shook his head. “I haven’t met him yet, I’ve been travelling so much, but Ethan is constantly talking to him.”
    Sam smiled. “I think it’s great he wants to open a resort in Sandy Beach.”
    “Ethan’s doing the financing for him,” Ter said.
    “Cool.”
    Grant agreed and asked, “So what’s up with Allison and Russell? And my cute little nephew?”
    “Jackson’s my nephew too, you know?” Ter raised an eyebrow. “They’re getting married this winter. I’m sure you’ll hear from them as soon as they’ve firmed up a date. Mom will expect everyone to attend.”
    “We wouldn’t dream of missing it.” Grant looked down to see Sam sagging against him. “Someone needs her beauty sleep.”
    Sam nodded and covered a yawn behind her hand. “Sorry, I’m tired.”
    Grant pushed her off his lap and then wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “Let’s get you back to bed.”
    Ter watched them disappear into their room, but he stayed on the couch. He was dying to get back to the new song that didn’t want to leave his mind. He pulled out the paper from the bar and immediately, he was right back in the rhythm of writing music and lyrics. It turned out to be a love song for a certain brown eyed woman who’d completely turned his world upside down.
    A few hours later, he yawned and glanced at the clock. It was way past midnight. Standing up, he stretched and then headed for the guest room. He had to get up early the next morning to meet with the one woman who wouldn’t leave his thoughts.
     

Chapter 10
    Ivy had a hard time getting to sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, images of Ter invaded her mind. And their kiss. It had been a hyper-sensual kiss and it’d set every cell of her body on fire. When her alarm went off the next morning at five-thirty, she groaned in exhausted defeat.
    Brilliant idea to arrange a meeting so early.
    She dragged herself out of bed, showered and got ready for the day. On her way to her office, she thought about how much she loved working in the legal department of the record label. The work itself was exciting and challenging. But the trappings had been a dire disappointment.
    It reminded her of the movie “The Firm”. The law department of the record label was the epitome of a true good ole boys club, complete with plenty of back slapping, scotch drinking, cigar smoking, and of course, all the real work piled upon the backs of young grunts like her.
    But it was a once in a lifetime experience, and for now, she loved the thrill and adventure the job required. Who knew, if the senior partners ever noticed her, she might actually make partner in a few years from now. Then, she wouldn’t have to work seventy-hour weeks. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
    Entering the office floor, she wasn’t surprised to see she’d beat most everyone in. She headed for her own workspace, liking it much better than the ultra-modern look that had been designed for the main lobby. Too much
