Chapter Two

Not long after leaving Derek’s office, Cassie was summoned to her father’s house for a meeting. Never a good sign and especially not now, with her brother home and in charge of the business. As she traveled back to her parents’ place on the train, she couldn’t focus on what awaited her.

Her head was still spinning from meeting with Derek for the first time in years. She couldn’t believe he was so impressed with her skills. Even though he’d declined the interview, his compliment had been the highlight of a really shitty week, as was the fact that he was giving her another chance to convince him to change his mind. But her thoughts weren’t on how much the interview would benefit Take a Byte and help give their online views and presence a much-needed boost.

No, she couldn’t stop thinking about what Derek looked like now. His blue eyes were still crystal and clear, his face handsome and more mature. No longer a lanky teen, he was muscular in all the right places. His forearms were bulky, as was his chest, all clearly from working out. And since he wore a long-sleeve shirt with the sleeves pushed up, his sexy tattoos were clearly visible. If his chiseled features and good looks weren’t enough, he smelled delicious too.

Derek West was a sexy, imposing man, and she was extremely attracted to him. So much so that she’d had inappropriate thoughts of wrapping herself around him and breathing him in, all the while feeling all those hard muscles against her softer ones. It had been a long time since she’d been in a relationship, and she wasn’t interested in one-night stands, but her deprived body had responded to Derek West.

By the time the cab arrived at her parents’ house, she’d pulled her mind back to what her father might want. She paid the driver and headed up the walk. The weather was cold, and she pulled her jacket tighter around her, a barrier against the winter wind.

She knocked on the front door and Greta, their current housekeeper, let her in.

“Miss Cassie, your father and brother are in the study,” she said, taking Cassie’s jacket the minute she shrugged it off her shoulders.

She thought of Derek’s parents and realized she hadn’t asked how they were. Cassie had come home from college during a freshman year visit to find the family had moved out of the guest home. They found another job, her father had said, and refused to discuss the help any further. Cassie had been sad because she’d liked Derek’s mom when she’d worked for them over the years. Her parents no longer had live-in help. After Derek’s mother, they’d begun to use a service that provided bonded housekeepers.

Cassie cleaned her own place and allowed her mother to send someone in once a week for deeper cleaning. She wasn’t the snob her parents were, and appreciated the fact that she earned enough to cover the cost. She knew she was born into a lucky lot in life, no matter how frustrating her family might be.
