“Back up for a sec, Rhodes. Are you telling me you’re not pissed I slept with Chris, you’re pissed he’s in your home—”
“Why the hell would I be pissed you slept with my brother-in-law? You’re both grown men and I like you enough to know family get-togethers wouldn’t be a living hell to experience. I’m pissed because you’re too gutless to accept what seems to me to be something pretty special, and I’m the one dealing with the fall-out because Rowan has her hands full looking after our baby girl. By the way, Rowan says if you don’t stop breaking her brother’s heart she’s going to kick your balls so far up into your ass, you’ll need a mining team to find them again. Her words, Reynolds, not mine.”

“Is Mr. Huntley safe?” Bethany’s composed voice sounded through the connection.
“He is. Are you?”
“I’m fine. Jeff and I went for a drive around the block. I had to tell him to stay to the left twice.”
Liev laughed in spite of himself.
“Did you keep him close?”
Bethany’s question sent tight ropes of tension through Liev’s chest. “I did.”
“Why didn’t you answer the phone when I first rang?”
Because I was tongue-fucking our boss against a door.
The confession played through Liev’s mind like a wicked taunt. “I was dealing with the situation.”
“I want details later.”
He snorted at Bethany’s calm demand. “Tough. You’re not going to get them.”
Bethany chuckled. “Yes, I will,” she said, and then hung up.
Suppressing a growl, Liev shoved his phone back into his pocket. Chris’s P.A. was an enigma. A frustrating, feisty enigma who seemed to have an agenda regarding their boss that Liev couldn’t decipher but somehow seemed to be a part of.
Which made her his new favourite woman in the world.
Or his least.”

“And here I was thinking I’d get to run amuck in Australia this time. Party hard. Maybe even get laid.”
Liev choked on his espresso.
Chris laughed. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to do that to you. And I’m not planning on getting laid. Haven’t got time for that, do I, Bethany?”
Bethany reappeared at Liev’s side, placing a platter piled high with fresh fruit, cheese and water crackers on the coffee table. “It’s not in your schedule, Mr. Huntley.”
“See?” Chris slumped back in the sofa, his face a mask of dramatic dismay. “No time for fun. Guess it’s just the three of us for the next seven days. Can you deal with that, Liev?”
A hot lump filled Liev’s throat. He shifted in the armchair, the crotch of his jeans uncomfortably tight. His stupid brain was presenting all sorts of options for the three of them for the next seven days. None of them remotely professional. “I can deal with that.”
