In Good Company (Pembroke Hills #1)

by Kat Singleton

“I thought I spoke pretty clearly. You’ve spent the entire night berating your own staff, and quite honestly, I’m sick of it. So let me say this nice and slow for you. Do. Not. Talk. To. Her. That. Way.”

If she was going to be anyone’s private chef this summer, she was going to be mine.

“Maybe you just want people to think you’re cold,” Lucy offers.

He chuckles, picking his own fork back up. “She does listen to me after all. Good girl.”

“It seems you always want company. I’m just throwing it out there that you don’t have to settle for my company tonight.”

Cal has more of a heart than he thinks he does; you just have to read between the lines a little to find it.

“I hope it doesn’t ruin your day if we lose. I’m a horrible golfer.”

“I get to spend the day with you. My day could never be ruined.”

There’s nothing I want more at this very moment than to kiss Lucy Rae Owens.

I’ve never been a fan of pink before, but it might now be my favorite color.

“Lucy Rae, there are so many things about you that I’m interested in. But right now, there are two I can’t stop thinking about.”

“I’m dying to know what you taste like,” he answers, his voice hoarse. “And even more, I want to know if you’re going to keep giving me excuses or if you’re going to give in to what you want and let me kiss you.”

I should regret it. I just got caught kissing one of my employees. But I don’t regret it at all. Instead, I’m hoping it happens again.

“I think pink might be my favorite color. It’s the color of your cheeks when you blush, your lips after kissing me, your panties, your pussy…”

“I want to buy you expensive things, Lucy. What’s the point in having an ungodly amount of money if I can’t spend it on the first woman to capture my attention like this?”

“I was made for you, Lucy Rae. I’ll fit inside you perfectly.”

I’m fucking gone for Lucy Rae Owens.

I never want to forget the way Callahan Hastings stares at me like nothing else matters in the world.

“Just so you know, anything with you is my thing. Haven’t you learned that by now?” He reaches up and tucks a piece of my hair behind my ear. “I can’t get enough of you.”

I think I’m falling for Callahan Hastings.

“Only the best for you, baby, since you’re the best gift I’ve ever been given.”

I’ll go wherever he leads as long as he keeps kissing me just like this.

That I fell for her. That I want to be with her. That I can’t imagine my life without her in it.

I’m never falling in love again.

I fell in love with a woman who wasn’t ready to be loved, and I’m paying the price for it.

He’s my home. My love. My teammate. Callahan Hastings. My former boss and my ex’s older brother. My heart. Mine.

I’ll be in good company with him by my side for all of it.
