Cat rode the elevator up fifty-one floors to David’s office, still flush with the afterglow of her morning with Hank. She’d missed sex this past year, but after being with Hank, she now realized she’d been missing out on amazing sex her whole life.

Somehow he’d known exactly how and where to touch and kiss her, when to be gentle or a little rough, when to give in and let go. Everything about the encounter had connected on levels she’d never even known existed. All this time she’d thought he’d need protection from her, but now she feared she’d miscalculated. Her heart might be more at risk than his.

The elevator dinged before its doors opened, which drew her from her thoughts. After checking in with the receptionist, she took a seat in the law firm’s lobby. The space had a retro vibe, with marble floors, wood-paneled walls, and midcentury modern–influenced furnishings. Copies of the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and other business magazines covered its enormous coffee table.

She stacked a few magazines to the side to get a better look at the table itself, and then her gaze wandered to the other furnishings. Maybe office reception areas were another potential market for some of Hank’s work. And perhaps they should focus on tables first and then diversify?

The soft click of shoes against the hard floor caught Cat’s attention. Upon seeing David crossing to greet her, she stood and kissed him hello.

“You’ve got me curious about the reason behind this formal appointment. Vivi pretended she knew nothing, but I suspect she still keeps your secrets.” He nodded down the hall. “Shall we begin?”

“Absolutely.” She projected confidence, although her stomach lurched a bit in anticipation of David’s reaction to her plans. It never mattered much that her face was more recognizable than his would ever be, or that none of her six hundred thousand Twitter followers had any idea who he was—David would always be the family superstar, even in her eyes.

The plate-glass window in his office offered expansive views of hundreds of buildings on the Manhattan skyline. His desk—large and perfectly neat—looked imposing, as did he in his gray Canali suit.

On the credenza behind him, she noticed a picture from his and Vivi’s wedding beside an old group photograph of her, Vivi, Jackson, and David. That homey touch helped settle her nerves a bit as she took a seat in the black leather chair opposite his desk.

“The most logical conclusion is that you have a contract problem your agent can’t resolve.” Her brother studied her with his typical intensity mingled with overprotectiveness. “Or is this about Justin’s soon-to-expire restraining order?”

“I’m a bit worried about the fact that Justin can contact me in a couple of weeks, but I’m equally determined to get past my fear. I’m sick of giving him so much power.” She was, too. “But I’m not here about Justin or a contract problem. I came to discuss what steps I’d need to take to set up a new company.”

She set her purse on the edge of his desk and braced for his questions.
