Chapter 11

Matt

I snuck glances at her as she talked about work and the new project she was working on for my father. Something about being around her made me feel fifteen again. She was alive and full of so much passion that it bubbled up around the edges of her persona. I wanted to reach over and run my hand up her thigh, but the subtle touches earlier that day combined with the kiss the night before were probably more than enough.

She knew how I felt about it. The question I'd posed was a serious one. What was I willing to do about all of it? Moving to Seattle seemed the right answer in so many ways, but being away from Damon, and Dad, from Sophia and Bethany? That sounded like hell. All I would have is Erica.

She was more than enough, and yet if things didn't work out between us, I would have to pick up and move back to Dallas. Something about admitting that failure left me not wanting to jump too quickly. I could feign that the move was more about working closer to Jonathan or being a part of the advertising division of M&B, but I would know the truth. I'd moved to see what could be with her. Was love worth all of that?

"Are you even listening to me?" She reached over and poked me in the side.

I gripped her hand and tugged a little before releasing her. "Yeah, I'm listening. I just keep trying to figure out what I'm going to do about this position you keep subtly throwing my way. I wanna be a part of what my father and Damon are building, but wearing a suit and trying to keep up pretenses in a large office building downtown sounds like hell on earth."

"It's not that bad, and honestly you wouldn't have to wear a suit unless we were meeting with investors." She brushed her fingers by her lips and let out a soft feminine sound. "You know what? I bet we could even talk to your father about letting you work remotely. We could get you a killer apartment downtown by the art district, and you could work on your M&B projects there."

"Hmm... that doesn't sound bad, but I hate the thought of getting special treatment because of who my dad is."

"Right, but you can't have it both ways. People are going to know who you are no matter what. At least your special treatment makes sense. I mean, take the situation with Bethany for instance. She's totally getting special treatment, but no one is going to say shit about it."

"No one knows that she's Kent's daughter but a select few."

"Oh." She glanced my way. "Is that because of her and Damon's relationship?"

"Exactly. It's too complicated for any of them to deal with. It's easier for everyone to simply think that my dad married a pretty younger woman and that's all they get. Bethany hasn't been connected to that relationship, nor will she.
