know how."
    "You've watched me." He dips his chin towards his cock. "I've seen you watching me. Put it on."
    I lean forward to wrap my hand around him. I slowly and carefully slide the condom on, being careful to not puncture the tip.
    "I love the way you make me feel." He leans down to cup my chin in his palm. "I've never felt like this with anyone before."
    I reach up to grab his shoulders as I pull him down and into my arms.

    "C an I see you again tomorrow night?"
    I look to where he's still tangled beneath the sheet on his bed. He'd fucked me hard. It was so hard that I came quickly. That had only spurred him on.
    He'd flipped me over before he entered me fully in one swift plunge. I'd fallen forward and as he took me with long, slow strokes, he'd whispered into the air that he wanted me to touch myself.
    I had.
    I'd reached between my legs to circle my swollen bud with my finger.
    His thrusts increased and as we both neared the edge of our release, he'd pulled out before he rammed himself into me so hard that tears filled my eyes and I cried out.
    "I'm not sure," I say honestly. "I may have a meeting."
    "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow." He sits up, struggling to wrap his torso in one of the sheets. "I want to see you before that."
    I laugh as I watch him mutter a few choice curse words before he pushes the bed linens aside and stands up, completely nude.
    "Will you look like that when I see you?"
    "Like this?" he asks as he holds his hands out in front of his semi-erect cock. "You like me best when I'm naked, is that it?"
    I like him best at any moment. "I'll call you tomorrow and we can find a time to meet."
    "You can stay with me tonight?" He waves his hand over the bed. "You can fall asleep right here in my arms."
    It's so tempting but I have work to do before I see Gabriel and I want to prepare myself for the tentative dinner I have planned with Gianna tomorrow night.
    "I just want to listen to you fall asleep, Tess." His hands leap to his chest. "I'll let you go first thing in the morning."
    I drop my purse on the floor. "Can you help me out of my dress?"

Chapter 14

    "A private investigator your father's attorney hired contacted my mother. She wasn't prepared for that."
    Your mother was sleeping with my father. I sure as hell wasn't prepared for that, Mr. Foster.
    "Gianna was very forthcoming," I say sweetly. "She's been a big help."
    "Is that so?" He cocks both brows. "She wasn't comfortable sharing the details of her discussion with the investigator with me. I assumed that was because she didn't have much to offer."
    "On the contrary," I stop myself before I say it but it's so close to the surface that it just comes spilling out of my mouth. "Apparently she has a lot to offer."
    "Was she able to offer anything to help your father?"
    I'm going to need a shower after this discussion. I never once imagined my parents behind closed doors. I don't want to conjure up a mental image of my father and Gianna.
    "I believe so." I open my tablet. "I was hoping we could go over some of the finer details for the pop-up shop event."
    Gabriel adjusts the cuff link on his left wrist, taking time to straighten it completely. "If your attention needs to be on your father's legal situation, Tess, I have a replacement in mind."
    It's hard not to take that personally. I can't though. The man is only looking out for his company's best interests. I'm doing the same for mine, which is why I’m here, and not in Boston helping to plan the celebratory party for my father's release tomorrow. 
    "You have my full attention, Mr. Foster." I slide my finger across my tablet's screen. "I'd like to start with the list of models I've hired for the event."
    His eyes fall to where my finger is perched. "Very well, then. Let's get started."

    "F rederick Beckett would like to see you."
    "Me?" I touch my left ear wondering if I misheard what Everett just said to me. "Landon's father wants to see me?"
    "His
