Coming up on the sign that heralded the exit toward River Hill, Iain let out a long, satisfied sigh. He’d been working non-stop for the past two weeks. Al those long hours on the road had finally begun to pay off.

For the past few days he’d seriously wondered if this whole scheme was mad. The contract tucked safely away in his briefcase proved otherwise. The order for five hundred bottles of Whitman’s Revival for a new speakeasy-style restaurant in Oakland was an excellent start.

A start he felt like celebrating. And he knew exactly how he wanted to go about doing that.

Trudging up the side staircase that led to his tiny one-room apartment over Max’s garage, Iain loosened his tie and yanked it off over his head as he walked through the door. He dropped his bag next to the rickety chair in the corner, kicked off his shoes, and made his way to the bathroom for a quick shower to wake him up as much as refresh his tired body.

Twenty minutes later, he stepped out of the shower to check his phone and saw the message he’d been waiting for. Gavin Crawley, a musician he knew from back home, had been touring the U.S., playing small, intimate venues. Tonight he had a gig in Santa Rosa. Iain didn’t love the idea of more time in the car, but if he could convince Naomi to join him, the long drive would be worth it.

Things had been great between them lately. When they weren’t working, they were either eating or fucking, and if it hadn’t been for the stress of his job, he could truthfully say the past couple of weeks had been outstanding. There was something very freeing about being with a woman who had no expectations of forever.

And he knew Naomi felt the same. She’d said as much yesterday morning after waking him up with her lips wrapped around the head of his cock. When she finished getting him off, she’d chuckled and then whispered something about their non-relationship being “the best idea ever.”

Iain was sure he’d look back on their time together with a mixture of lust and fondness. The only downside was he didn’t know if he’d ever find someone else who would be able to get him going quite the way Naomi managed to.

But tonight, he wanted to get her going. He knew his whiskey was damn good, but the restaurateur had called out its branding as being an essential element of why he’d gone with Whitman’s instead of a more well-known commodity. The label Naomi had designed fit the aesthetic of the new restaurant perfectly, and because of how well it tied with the space’s overall look, Whitman’s would take pride of place in the circular bar area smack dab in the middle of the room. In fact, the chef was going to have his bartender create a whole series of signature cocktails featuring Whitman’s. Iain knew he owed a large part of this deal to Naomi’s ingenious work, and he wanted to thank her.
