on all three accounts. I have your number on speed dial."
    "I like the sound of that." He winked and turned, walking toward the door before pausing and looking back over his shoulder. "Grey looks look good on you. Brings out your eyes."
    "Thanks." She felt a little overwhelmed with his attention locked onto her, but she held his gaze nevertheless.
    He walked out and Jamie stood there, trying to sort through her feelings about the older man. No one but Alex held the keys to her heart, but it was insanely warming to think that perhaps she wasn't as revolting or unwanted as she believed herself to be only a few months ago.
    "Here we go, pretty woman." Paul walked in and sat her cup of oatmeal down. He glanced up at her and chuckled. "Damn. What did the old guy say?"
    She blinked a few times and smiled. "What? Why?"
    "Because, that look on your face is dreamy. I want to learn from the best. You seem like a hard cookie to break. If he's got you looking like you’re lost in a daydream, I want in."
    Jamie laughed louder. "You're corrupt."
    "You have no idea." He winked and walked to his desk, sitting down and pulling the wrapper off of his sandwich. "If you decide you want something that tastes good, I got an extra bacon, egg and cheese."
    Jamie took one look at her oatmeal and shook her head before walking toward him. "Yeah, to hell with it. I'm starving. I'll just eat a light lunch."
    "You’re kidding right? You’ve got nothing to worry about weight-wise.” He shook his head. “You women are silly with your body-complexes.” He handed the extra sandwich over his shoulder, never looking back from his computer.
    She was starting to like him. He could stay – for now.
    Jamie was still thinking about the conversation with Nicholas when she reached the hanger bay for Alex's private jet. She walked onto the aircraft and nestled into a large leather chair as Alex glanced up from his across the aisle.
    "Hey beautiful. Sleep good last night?" He turned his full attention on her.
    "Sure did. I'm a little sleepy now too. Mind if I take a nap while we fly?"
    "Not at all. I have several things I need to review before we get there. I assume we'll be going through the rest of the house and working out the documents for the estate to sell. Long two days coming up with little time for work."
    "Which is a blessing in disguise I'm sure." She smiled at him and reached for a blue blanket that lay in a cubbyhole beside her. She wrapped herself up and closed her eyes, leaning back and drifting off as the plane took off. Her thoughts on Alex but her dreams mixed with three men’s faces.

    "H ey. We're here. Let's go." Alex's voice was cold, and not at all what she wanted pulling her from the restful nap she got to take.
    "Alright," she mumbled sleepily and got up, following him down the stairs and waiting beside him for their luggage.
    He took his and turned, walking toward a waiting limo with stiff shoulders and an angry disposition. She grabbed her own bag and walked behind him, stifling a yawn. They got their luggage in the back and got into the car. Jamie moved closer to him and slid her hand along his thigh.
    He looked down at his leg, up at her and back out the window. No smile. No encouragement to touch him. The last time they'd been in a limo together all hell broke loose and pleasure was king for the long ride.
    "What's wrong?" She asked, squeezing his leg and pressing her lips to his shoulder.
    "I don't want to do this shit. I don't want to see Mark, and honestly there's nothing here that I need to take care of."
    Whoa! Talk about a three-sixty. "You promised your dad you would work on your relationship with your brother. This is just part of that promise." She moved back as his head whipped around.
    "I realize that, Jamie,” he barked. “It's the only reason I'm doing it. I just don't want to. There are too many fucked up memories here. Always second best, always first doubted." He shrugged and let out a long sigh before
