I’m off my game during the meeting with Porter, mostly because fucking Vivian is completely distracting me. She sits in the corner taking notes like she’s my secretary, but she’s not. She’s my boss, and it’s not just that.

She’s this powerful woman who creates all these conflicting feelings in me. I want to fuck her and I want to kick her out of the room. I want to impress her but I don’t care what she thinks of me. I want to be her savior at the same time I want to let her fend for herself.

I don’t understand what’s happening to me, but when she’s in the room, she becomes the center of my attention. With every deal I try to make, I glance her way to gauge her reaction. With every business tactic I try, I look her way for her nod of approval. With every joke I tell, I check to see if she’s laughing.

It’s just a crush. I’m attracted to her. Of course I am—why wouldn’t I be? She isn’t just delicate and kind and beautiful. She’s different than the women I typically bed. She’s smart and savvy, and she can hold her own with me. She doesn’t just agree with everything I say to impress me. In fact, it sort of feels like the opposite half the time.

Plus there’s the rejection side. She let me kiss her last night, but then she told me it was a mistake.

I always want what I can’t have. It’s why I slithered my way in front of the woman my brother eventually married and got her into my bed before she knew I was related to the god of rock, Mr. Mark Ashton. It’s why I manipulate and lie, and it’s why I work my ass off to make the things I’m not supposed to have mine anyway.

I just need to figure out how to do that with Vivian Davenport.

“With the short notice on renewal, Mr. Porter, I need to discuss the terms with my partners and get back to you,” I say. “I’m suggesting a one-week extension on the terms of our deal with Schneider. I’ll come back to sign a brand new contract next week. I think you’ll be pleased with our newest offer. What I have in mind will be lucrative for everyone.”

Viv shakes her head at me like it’s a bad idea to plan a return trip to Miami, but fuck it. If I can get her back to the beach—and for more than a single night next time—I’ll get her in my bed, and that’s a promise I’m making to myself. We’ll walk the pier, look at the boats, and I’ll kiss her again.

I can’t believe my motivation behind my current business deal is based on how to bed the girl, yet there it is.

Paul sighs. “Fine, Mr. Fox. I’m not entirely thrilled with the idea, but I understand the need to discuss the renegotiation with your partners.”

“I’ll be honest with you.
