She’s lush in all the delicious places, full hips, thick thighs, soft stomach, the kind of curves that make a man’s hands feel; made for gripping.
Not fragile. Not fake.
Just real. Real enough to sink into.
I click her file closed and stare at the screen, my fingers still twitching on the mouse.
I should stop.
I should stop.
But I don’t.
Because Olivia Baker is now under my roof, close to my brother, and even closer to a man who basks in her attention and thinks peanut butter cookies mean something.
And if she’s going to live next to someone who clearly wants her,
If she’s going to work inside my family’s empire, I need to know exactly who she is, because I’ve already decided how much of her I’ll take.
All of it.
Chapter six
Olivia
Working for Wesley is surprisingly easy. The systems are manageable, and Wesley himself is a hands-off kind of boss, quick meetings, clear expectations, then silence. I fall into a rhythm faster than I expected, and by the time the clock hits five, I barely register the end of the day.
I head toward the elevators, digging through my purse for my phone, and slam into a wall of muscle.
Broderick.
I step back.
“Hey, you,” he says with a smile too pretty for how casual he makes it seem, like he knows exactly what it does, flashing those perfect teeth under all that golden-boy charm.
I blink, cheeks flushing before I can stop it.
Focus, Olivia.
“Hey,” I say, trying to play it cool as I keep rummaging. My thumb hovers over the ride share app.
Before I can tap it, a hand closes gently over mine.
“Don’t,” he says. “I’ll take you home.”
I glance up, hesitating. “Broderick—”
“Brody,” he corrects smoothly. “You can call me Brody. We’ve been neighbors for, what, a year?”
“Two,” I admit, a little sheepish.
He laughs softly. “Even more reason to let me give youa ride.”
I hesitate again. He’s nice to look at, but he’s also the kind of guy who probably grew up being voted ‘Most Likely to Break Hearts.’And while he’s always been polite in passing, he never reallylookedat me like this before. Then again… I had a boyfriend until a year ago, and he had some girl who practically lived in his apartment for months.
It was never likethis.
Still. I need this job. I need to stay focused. And saying yes to a ride shouldn’t feel like this big of a decision.
