FIFTEEN

Shit.

In the time that he’d heard the footsteps coming down the tiled corridor and managed to save Kate from acute embarrassment, Tyler hadn’t had time to steel himself for his father’s arrival.

He sank into the desk chair, partly to hide the evidence of his raging hard-on and partly because his knees were so weak from kissing and touching Kate that he couldn’t stand upright much longer.

“Hey, Dad.” At least his voice was somewhat steady. “Working hard, yes indeed.”

Warren stopped in front of the desk. Even now, Tyler felt the effect of his father’s intimidating presence. Tall and broad-shouldered with a thatch of metal-gray hair and strong features, Warren Stone looked as if he should be issuing decrees on Game of Thrones.

Only his perfectly tailored Armani suit, the breast pocket bearing a crisply folded silk handkerchief decorated with a pattern of jellybeans, belied the fact that Warren was the modern day king of a candy company.

Tyler stood to put himself on a somewhat level playing field. At least his erection had withered. “What are you doing here?”

“Came to see how things are going,” Warren replied.

Of course. Frustration prickled Tyler’s spine. His father would never believe he’d just get the job done without periodic check-ins. Even more than hating his father’s mistrust, Tyler hated the fact that there was a good reason for it. He’d never done anything to earn his father’s trust or respect. Not like all his other brothers had.

Warren crossed the room, his dark gaze scanning the piles of books that showed scant evidence of having been organized. “What’s your plan for getting started?”

“Uh, I’m trying to get the bookshelves alphabetized,” Tyler said. “And figuring out what all is even in here. Seems to me someone should have supervised old Fred years ago.”

“Yes, that was clearly an oversight. But there was no denying Fred’s devotion to Sugar Rush.” Warren picked up a book and flipped through the pages. “Have you discovered anything interesting yet?”

Christ. Now he was supposed to give a report?

“About what?” he asked irritably.

Warren set the book down. “Work.”

“I discovered that it sucks.”

His father frowned. “Better than wasting your time hanging around an old garage, isn’t it? As least you’re getting paid here.”

“Mr. Stone!” Kate’s voice suddenly sailed through the room like a fresh breeze. She came out of the alcove, looking sharp and crisply put-together as always, with no indication that Tyler had just had his hand down her shirt and his tongue in her mouth.

She crossed the room, straightening her glasses with one hand and extending the other to Warren. “Pleasure to see you, sir. I was just looking for archival photographs for the revamp of the website.”

“Excellent.” Appearing faintly bemused by her presence, Warren shook her hand. “Nice to see you as well, Kate.”

“I was also explaining the new fully integrated library system to Tyler. Luke approved it the other day, and all the new equipment was delivered this morning. If you’ll step over here, please?”

She strode to the desk, indicating that Tyler should get out of her way before she tapped a few keys on the computer and brought up the database screen.
