Fuck.

I forced myself to stay relaxed.

Calm.

Be calm… please.

Adam, bless him, seemed impressed.

He let out a low whistle, tapping the corner of my résumé against the table. “Damn. That’s a hell of a résumé for Medford.”

A dry chuckle nearly escaped, but I bit it back.

Instead, I offered a polite, professional smile.

Samuel hadn’t said a word since I walked in. I caught his stare for half a second before pretending I hadn’t felt the heat of it crawl up my spine.

Which was impressive, considering last night his face had been buried between my thighs.

I forced my attention back to Adam, the only person at this table who wasn’t making my lungs feel like they were caving in.

“Well,” he continued, flipping the résumé back around, “I won’t lie, we could use the help, but we need someone who can keep up with the pace.”

“I can.” My voice was steady, my posture unbothered.

Kai shifted beside Samuel, arms crossed, his fingers tapping against his bicep—thoughtful, restless. His knee bounced once beneath the table.

Then, he spoke. “You gonna stay this time, S?”

Oh, for the love of…

Thenickname. His voice. Low and even, but loaded.

My fingers curled around my knee. I turned, met his storm-gray gaze, and gave him my best neutral expression.

“I plan to,” I said lightly.

Kai’s brows lifted, just a bit.

Samuel exhaled sharply, almost like a laugh. A short, cynical,oh really?kind of sound. My pulse skipped.

I didn’t look at him. Couldn’t.

Kai leaned forward, forearms braced against the table, and I could feel him gearing up to press harder. But…

“Well,” Adam cut in, flashing his easygoing smile, “I think we’ve got what we need here. What do you think, Samuel?”

Finally, Ihadto look at him.

Samuel’s jaw was tight. His blue eyes met mine, unreadable, but burning.

For a second, I thought he might speak. Might say something that would completely shatter this very professional interview and leave me to die a slow, painful death of public humiliation.

Instead, he nodded once. “I think you covered it all, Adam.”

I released a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding hostage.

Adam clapped his hands together. “Great! We’ll call you when we’ve made a decision, Sadie.”
