Cassey watched Luke walking towards her. She’d enjoyed the lunch with him and Marcus, and she thought her brother approved of Luke. Not that it meant much; Marcus usually approved of anyone she dated. It was Roman that any man she dated had to get past.

Luke was wearing a suit and tie, and every woman in the place watched him walk across the floor. When he stepped up to her and kissed her on the lips, she thought she heard a few sighs.

“You clean up pretty well.” She smiled and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

“I’ve got a meeting. Shouldn’t take too long. If all goes well, I’d like to celebrate with dinner tonight.”

She nodded and smiled. She watched him walk away and sighed herself. He sure did make a wonderful sight in his suit.

An hour later, she was shocked to see Luke’s father walk through her front doors. He made a beeline towards her after he spotted her standing across the room. She excused herself from the couple she was talking to and met him across the floor.

“Miss Grayton.” He nodded. “Do you have someplace we can talk?”

She nodded and took him to her office. She motioned for him to sit in the chair in front of her desk. He remained standing, so she sat behind her desk, shoving her hands under her desk so he wouldn’t notice how much they shook. What was he doing here?

“I understand my son has been staying here.” He looked down at her, disgust written all over his face.

Instead of saying anything, she nodded her head in agreement.

“Typical,” he said harshly. “I send him down here to do a job, and he decides to take a vacation and sleep around while he’s at it.” He turned and started to pace in her small office. “What will it cost me this time?” he said after he turned and glared at her again.

“I’m sorry?” she asked, shocked.

“Come now, Miss Grayton, everyone has their price. I need you to break it off quickly with him. Today, if possible. I understand you’re not in the market to sell your…little place here. I’m willing to overlook that, but I won’t have you dragging my son’s name through the mud, so to speak.”

The shaking in her hands stopped; instead, she started to grind her back teeth. Slowly placing her hands on her desk, she rose up to her full height. “I don’t know who you think you are, but I can’t be bought off. You have—”

“I’m a concerned father,” he broke in as he walked to the front of her desk. “I’ll give you this chance. You won’t get another,” he warned.

“I don’t need another. As far as I’m concerned, you can get out now.” She leaned slightly on her desk, watching his dark eyes grow fierce.

“Fine,” he said, staring at her. “There are other methods for getting what I want. I will have this place, or see it closed down, just to prove my point.” He turned and started to walk out.
