CHAPTER SIXTEEN

It didn’t take long for Deacon to figure out that he hated being photographed. Or maybe what he hated was being photographed by a photographer who had singled Deacon out for his outrageous flirting.

“No, gorgeous.” The photographer squatted in front of Deacon with his camera poised. “When I said I wanted a seductive smile, I didn’t mean a badass glare that would start a barroom brawl. Why don’t you try going to your happy place, sweetheart? Somewhere calming and seductive. Like a candlelit bedroom with a bottle of chilled champagne and a sexy naked woman stretched out on the bed.” He winked. “Or a naked, very appreciative man.”

His brothers, who were standing beside him, burst out laughing. Which made Deacon wonder if he wasn’t going to start a barroom fight after all. He was certainly pissed enough. Not just at the photographer’s flirting and his brothers’ laughing, but because Olivia had completely ignored him. He had asked her to be here in fifteen minutes and it was going on an hour since he’d tracked her down in the studio. And maybe that was what really pissed him off. He’d had no business tracking Olivia down.

The kiss in the boardroom had made that perfectly clear. He wanted her. Not a couple of stolen kisses, but lots of stolen kisses, followed by lots of steamy sex. And having sex with Olivia was stupid. Money and sex worked only with hookers and porn stars. In real life having sex with business associates could complicate things in a hurry, and things were already complicated enough.

Deacon was enjoying being the boss a little too much. Or maybe what he was enjoying was the challenge of bringing French Kiss back from bankruptcy. It was a pipe dream. In the last few days, he’d discovered the depths of the company’s problems, and it would take much more than a hillbilly from Louisiana, even one with a degree in business, to save the company. It would take a miracle. And he had never much believed in miracles.

“I’m done.” Tossing the photographer one final annoyed look, he stepped off the set and ducked around a white umbrella that was being used for lighting. He stopped short when he saw Olivia sitting in the director’s chair in one dimly lit corner.

“He’s right, you know.” She sounded slightly breathless. She got up, and for the second time that day he noticed how hot she looked. Her hair was down and hung in soft golden waves around her face. The white shirt was loose and sheer. The jeans tight and butt-hugging. And the purple high heels sexy as hell. They clicked against the tile floor as she moved closer. “Women won’t be tempted to buy from a surly man.”

“You’re here.”

She took a soft breath. “I thought it was an order.” She hooked an arm through his and led him back to his brothers, who were grinning from ear to ear.

“Hey, Cuz,” Nash greeted her. “Long time no see.”

She smiled, and Deacon tried to remember if she’d ever smiled at him like that.
