Chapter Five

“JOEY, BABE, WHAT’S UP? You’ve been quiet all day. Didn’t even bother to make a snide comment about the Brubakers new excuse for why they want to give back yet another kid.”

Joey watched her friend Megan perch herself on the edge of her desk in her cubicle, hands crossed in front of her chest as she waited for an answer. With her curly red hair, freckles, and white skin, she looked like a grown up orphan Annie, except for her wicked sense of humor. Like many of them, she dealt with the stress of the job by wisecracks, sarcasm, and bawdy humor. Sometimes, it was the only way to cope. They’d become close working together the past few years, and Joey knew the kids in the system were better off with Megan on their side. She was a real bitch when it came to getting her job done well, and making sure every child received the best care available.

Joey fought to keep the truth from her face. Last night, if Noah Elliott had kissed her, she may have not been able to stop. The lure of his full lips haunted her, along with that rock hard body just rippling with muscles. She imagined him moving over and under her like a graceful panther, all hot and growly and...big.

“Hello, earth to Joey,” Megan said. “Are you there, or are you day dreaming about the hot sex you had last night!”

Joey rolled her eyes and dropped her voice. “Shhh! I did not have sex. I kind of thought about having sex, but he didn’t make a move, and kind of threw me out.”

Megan clapped a hand over her mouth. “No way!”

“Shhh!”

“No one is listening,” Megan said. “What type of guy would throw you out and say no to sex? Men don’t say no to sex.”

“Thanks for the vote of confidence. I feel so much better, but men do say no to sex when it comes to me. Guess recluse millionaires aren’t into women who don’t know how to keep their trap shut.”

Megan frowned, then gasped. “Wait a minute. Are you talking about the Grinch of Starlight Bend? You wanted to have sex with him and he said no?”

Joey sighed. “I hate that term. His name is Noah. Noah Elliott. Yes, I’m talking about him. He’s the one helping me grant my Christmas wish for Owen Salt. He’s not at all who I expected.”

“Wait a minute. First you bully the Gri…I mean Noah Elliott into helping throw a winter carnival. You went to his Beast mansion? And wanted to sleep with him?”

“He’s not a beast.”

“His house looks like the Beast’s castle. Hell, I never had a problem with the guy, I think he got a bum rap, What I don’t understand is why he wouldn’t want to have sex with you. What the hell did you do to get him to say, um, no thank you little lady?”

Joey dropped her face into her hands and groaned. “Why am I actually asking you for advice?”

“Cause I’m smart.
