my throat while adamantly shaking my head no at her.
“I can’t have any other connections to Everett.”
“You gotta l ighten up. Tons of people in relationships meet at their place of employment.”
“I need to see statistics on all these so called ‘facts’ you’re throwing out.”
Becs rolls her eyes at me as she twirls a piece of her golden blonde hair around a finger.
“ You did some wild shit with guys before you got with boring Craig. He made you uptight. Why not live a little … or a lot, before you settle down?” She gives me a wicked grin.
I was wild in college, livin g the whole sorority life to its fullest. I partied too much, and since there was no in between with me, I was drunk a lot, which meant I was an uninhibited guest at the parties.
Unfortunately, one of the times I was drunk, I spilled some of the details to my sister when she was about to begin college. I was on my way out and felt a need to prepare her. She’s never let me live it down.
“Sis, come back to earth.” I snap my head up and find her staring at me. “You were thinking about those crazy days, weren’t you?” There is that wicked grin again.
“Listen, the stud of a man needs a refresher before getting back in the game, and you need to live some before you likely pick another boring ass man since we both know you deny the carefree woman you want to be.”
M y sister finally stops to suck in a breath. “So, take advantage of this opportunity to have a wild fling with a smokin’ hot, biker dude of a boss.”
“You make it sound as if it’s no big deal.” I shovel the last spoonful of butter pecan in my mouth.
“It’s only a big deal if you make it one. Shut off your brain, Reese, and find your sensual self again. Ride that man a hundred different ways in a hundred different places. You can look for a job while it’s happening.”
I set the bowl between my legs and bury my face in my hands. “Geez, when did you get old enough to talk to me this way? It does sound fun and exciting,” I say muffled.
My sister stands up on the couch, her feet sinking far into the cushions, and proceeds to shake her hips, doing her own victory dance.
“Oh, yeah. You know you want to, and I’m so bringing you lunch this week, so I can meet these sexy brothers.”
I throw my finger out at her. “No. No way, Becca.”
Chapter Five
Everett
I’m a wreck, wondering if Reese showed up for work today. If not, I’m likely getting charged with sexual harassment, and my brothers will kick my ass.
Dad would do the same if he was her e. Why did he have to die, too? I’m certain moving on after Krystal would’ve been easier with him by my side.
Travis motions for me as soon as I step through the doors. It’s like he has damn eyes on the back of his head or a silent alarm, signaling him when I enter the building.
“What?” I ask with frustration.
“Geez, what the hell is going on around here? Sarge is a grump, and I wanted to tell you he’s already been looking for you.”
“Shit. OK, thanks fo r the heads up.” Has she called and quit? I trudge to the hallway. Reese isn’t in her office, but the light is on.
“Everett, I need a word with you,” Sarge says from behind me. I haven’t even made it to my desk.
“Good morning. What’s the problem?”
“I’ve been waiting for you to tell me. Word already spread through this place that Reese literally ran out of here last night. Did you have something to do with that? And answer me quietly please.”
“ Is she here?”
“Shit, I knew it. Yes, she’s here.”
She hasn’t said anything. Interesting.
“Everett, I know Krystal is the only female you’ve ever worked this closely with, but you have to realize Reese could get you into a lot of trouble if you are rude to her.”
“I wasn’t rude. She’s going to help me with the taxes. It’s all good.”
“Oh, OK.” He raises his eyebrows and points at me. “Keep it that way. She’s smart and
