almost three hundred dollars per fucking person?” I snapped, remembering how many times I’d seen receipts from there. Allen had the habit of trying to live the high life at the expense of his club and, most importantly, me. I was so angry that it took me a second to notice the expressions on their faces. The words I had just said came back into my head, and I wished the ground would open up so I could just sink away from there.
    “I’m so…”
    “No, it’s all right.” Wesley laughed, shaking his head. “It’s meant to be ridiculous. The higher the price, the greater the desire people have to eat there. It also helps that I’m a half decent cook.”
    “Don’t be humble. It doesn’t look good on you,” Maxwell muttered, reaching for a printed piece of paper on the table.
    “Fine love , I’m a fucking badass in the kitchen, and if you ate at my restaurant, Ms. Chapman, you’d orgasm with every damn bite.”
    My breath was stuck in my throat as I stared back at him. I could feel my ears getting hot. However, Max stepped into my line of sight, and his eyes were hard, sharp, and unwavering. He flashed the document he had picked up.
    “Now that we have been introduced, I hope you recall this,” he said, and I saw my signature on the non-disclosure I had signed a month ago. “I didn’t call you back up here for us to make nice and get along. You saw something today and I never want it repeated to anyone, because if it is, so help me God, it will be the end of you. Are we clear?”
    His nostrils flared, and in one second, he went from being cool and collected to almost manic. He looked like he’d even consider killing me if I didn’t agree.
    “I know how to keep my mouth shut,” I replied, doing my best to stand up confidently.
    “Good. That’s it for the day. Take your things and get out. The new pass code will be emailed to you.”
    I nodded, reaching for my purse and jacket. I didn’t look back. My mind was spinning. I just needed air…and to get as far away as possible from Wesley and Maxwell.
    They were opposites, like fire and ice, and I couldn’t take the swift temperature changes.
     

     
    The moment she shut the door, I turned to him. “What the fuck was that?”
    “What?” he asked casually, getting off the couch.
    “Don’t play dumb. You were basically fucking her with your eyes.”
    “Are you jealous?” he whispered and came closer to me. He reached out to place his thumb on my lip.
    “Not even a little bit.” And that was the truth. “But you seducing her while I’m trying to intimidate her is hardly a wise choice, don’t you think?”
    His green eyes looked over my face before he spoke. “You and I have always been honest with each other about everything .”
    “And….”
    “And I want her,” he said darkly, moving in closer to me. “I want her in bed with us, and I know you want her, too.”
    “Wrong again. Besides, you’ve known her all of five minutes—”
    “That’s longer than it took me to want you.” He snickered while leaning in, but his lips only hovered over mine, and in that moment, we shared the air between us.
    “I don’t want her.” I wanted him…like always. Like a fucking drug I couldn’t break free from. “Besides, she’s an annoyance. Who just stands in the hall gawking at us like we—”
    “Are two lions fucking in a zoo?” he said softly. “Maybe it’s because we were like two lions fucking in a zoo. I like this maid, and she’s like a little worker bee. I can see my reflection in all the silverware. Plus she’s sexy and feisty.”
    “Then you fuck her and come back to me.” The thought pissed me off more than I liked.
    “No.” He shook his head. “When you stop lying to yourself, when you admit you want her too, that’s when we see how much she might want us. Until then, I’ll just keep making you cum in my hands…” He reached into my pants.
    “Has anyone ever told you that you have the mind of the devil?”
    “Has
