Chapter 11

The board members ambled from the conference room table, and as per their usual, Alex, Reese, and Tag stayed behind. Alex filled his coffee mug to the brim then lifted and dropped the newspaper onto the table. “Subtle.”

“I thought it was nice.” Tag shrugged one massive shoulder. The “nice” headline he was referring to was in a Chicago socialite magazine. Not exactly the Trib but anyone who cared about gossip paid attention to Elegant Elite. They were the ones who started photographing Reese with his dates at every charity and dinner function, and they’d mentioned #ReesesRocket on their Twitter feed several times last week. The headline HONEYMOON’S ON! was definitely a step up.

“It’s flashy,” Alex told Reese.

“Penelope assures me turning the media will convince the board.”

Alex grunted.

“Tomorrow night’s the retirement party,” Reese said. “They’ll see then.” Reese didn’t think anyone would suspect he and Merina were anything but in love after they’d blown each other’s minds in bed last night. This morning had been as peaceful as monks. Shared orgasms had put some slack into the tension between them. Getting along behind the scenes was bound to make it easier to parade around in public.

Always productive after sex, he’d typically excuse himself to his office, but when he’d come out of the bathroom, his wife had beat him to it. Merina was up, dressed in her stretchy pants and T-shirt again, and pulling on a pair of sneakers.

“Thanks for the recharge, Crane.” She’d grinned. “I have monthly reports to review.”

Then she was off, wiggling her round, delicious ass away from him and into the office down the hall. He retreated to his own office but concentration wasn’t as smooth as usual. Typically sex freed his brain and he could work, but last night, his mind kept returning to the wonder that was Merina’s face during sex. The neat little pleat between her golden brown eyebrows. The parting of her pink mouth when she blew out a ragged breath of enjoyment. Her normally smooth, tamed hair a wild mess over the pillow, a few strands thrown over half her face while she writhed.

Incredible.

Fingers snapped in front of Reese’s face and he blinked to see Tag’s surly expression and their father standing to leave.

“Anyway, I’m off,” Alex declared. Only after he’d gone did Tag speak.

“You fucking did it. You had sex with Merina.”

“She’s my wife.” Reese pushed his chair away from the conference room table unable to hide a very wide, very proud grin. He buttoned his jacket and Tag stood with him.

“Proud of you, Clip.” Tag nodded his approval, using an old nickname.

Clip was short for paperclip, and Tag had started in on Reese the day he put on his first suit. Being teasingly labeled as the pencil pusher back in his twenties had irked Reese, and Tag had been happy to needle him. Now the title held no venom.

“Careful,” Tag continued. “Girls get attached. They want more.”

“Thank you, Tag. I’m sure as a man who has perfected the hookup and breakup, you have loads of advice.
