When he broke the kiss, she was panting, clutching at him, fearful he was going to let her go and leave her high and dry.

“Fuck,” he growled against her mouth.

“Did I do something wrong?” she blinked up at him through half closed eyes.

“Not unless you count making me nearly come in my pants like a preteen boy,” he pressed a quick kiss to the corner of her mouth. “You’re a fucking dream come true. I could tar u kissing lessons from you, sunshine. I want to rip your clothing off, take you right here against the wall but today,” he slowly step back from her, “is a lesson in kissing, not in fucking. That will come later,” he winked at her as he stood on her on her feet. He rubbed his thumbs over her cheeks, “you’re blushing and damn me if it’s not the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen.”

“This was unexpected,” she stared up at him in awe.

“It was but not unwanted, I hope.” He questioned carefully.

“Not at all. We should probably let the elevator move though. People might be waiting for it.”

“There are two in the building,” he laughed as he refused to completely release her. He hit the button to move the elevator and then he scooped their belongings up in his other arm.

She rested her head against his chest, unsure of what the protocol was after a make out session with a man you barely knew in an elevator.

“What are your plans this afternoon?” he asked curiously. “You spent the morning at the café. What do you intend to do this afternoon?”

“I was going to go online and see if I could find any thrift stores or antique shops to look for some pieces for my place. It has some of my things in it but it doesn’t feel like home yet. Something is missing. I’m hoping to find it.”

“Would you like some company?”

“Don’t you have to work this afternoon?” she looked at . confusion. “Why aren’t you at work?”

“I’m not at work because my boss, also known as my father, told me I was obligated to use up some of my vacation time before the end of the year.”

“It’s only June.”

“I carried three weeks over from last year. I have eight weeks I’m supposed to take this year, and I already used two up in March. Every other week he forces me out for a couple of days because HR is hounding him. Something about nepotism babies shouldn’t work as hard as I do.”

“I thought you worked for Phineas.”

“Phineas‘ firm is one of our biggest clients. We do have more than just him in our books though. His father, my father, Adil’s father and believe it or not, Denise’s father, are all buddies.”

“Your father is a lawyer?”

“Yes. My mom is a psychiatrist.”

“Really?” She should have guessed.

“What do Adil’s parents do?”

“His father is an investment banker. His mother is a stay–at–home wife. They are both mostly retired. She €. so much more from Adil. They both came from very wealth backgrounds. He was a millionaire before he was a teenager. grandfather once gave him a yacht as a birthday present, and I think he was seven or eight? Unlike the Perez family who are stupidly wealthy but hoard it away, his family spend it like they could die tomorrow and yet never seem to run out.”

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Sure.” He followed her to her apartment as the doors opened on the elevator. “You can ask me anything.”

“The first day I met the three of you in Phineas‘ office, he made a

statement, and I keep thinking of it.”

“He said a lot of bullshit. He was trying to make himself sound tougher than he is because he knew he was about to destroy your world and if he wasn’t a bastard, he might not have been able

to.”

“He said his father cheated four times.”

“Ah and you’re wondering about Sandra staying.”

“Yes.”

“He did. When they were first married he cheated, and she forgave him. He cheated again when Phineas went to cr !lege. He went through something I guess and slept with two three other women. One of the women was a twin and it’s unclear if she used her twin or not for one of their dates. It took him about five years to win Sandra back. They went to counselling every week for three or four years and they still go now once or twice a month. It took him to lose her to realize what he lost. Phineas was furious with her when they got back together but Mr. P has been for the last sixteen or so years, completely devoted to her. They remarried ten years ago, I think.”

“I don’t think my mom knows this because one of the reasons she is working for them is because he’s so devoted to his wife and she was tired of being chased around the kitchen at her other jobs.”
