of fish in the sea that haven’t known you for years and that are closer to my age. Why would I go after Jordan?”

“And he hasn’t gone after you?”

I snorted. “Do you know his reputation?”

Dad nodded, seemingly accepting my words, and I let out a breath. Him finding out was the last thing that either, Jordan or I, wanted. If he was beginning to pick up on the trail, that was bad.

Jordan

This thing between Cat and I needed to come to an end. I was still on edge about the fact that we’d been spotted, at the restaurant, by her father. That wasn’t good, and the worst part was that I knew he was aware that something was brewing between his daughter and myself. Had he thought it was business or just a drink between friends, he would have made his way over and joined us because we wouldn’t have minded.

But he was right with the assumption that he’d made. Us meeting hadn’t had anything to do with business or talking about the company that we were preparing to own together. It was a date, and he’d known that. That was the reason that he’d slipped away before Cat could see him.

Too bad it hadn’t stopped me from seeing him as well.

What was he going to do to me? I was in a constant state of fear, waiting for my phone to ring, and when it did, being scared out of my life to answer it. But, it was never Mark, which was surprising. Instead, it was an associate, family, or a bill collector.

Why hadn’t Mark called me? He’d seen the two of us together, so why hadn’t he given me a tongue lashing yet? Or was it all just in my head? Maybe he’d seen us, but he hadn’t cared because he really had thought that it was a meeting with friends and hadn’t been able to join us because of his prior work engagements.

But, then again, Mark wasn’t an idiot. Just because he hadn’t called me yet didn’t mean that he wasn’t going to. If he knew something then my impending doom was on its way. All because I couldn’t keep my hands off of his daughter.

What man could? What man could look at Cat and not want her? Everything about her was so delectable, so, just, fucking perfect. I couldn’t not want her if I tried, and having a taste of her was the worst thing that I could have done. It showed me a side of things that I wasn’t ready to stop seeing.

But, I would if that was what Mark wanted. And knowing Mark, that was what he wanted.

My phone tinged, so I looked at it, that now-familiar fear of it being Mark rising in my throat. But, it wasn’t anyone but the red headed goddess that my mind was so wrapped around. “Cat.” I sighed under my breath when I saw that she’d sent me a message.

In all honesty, I should have been staying far away from this girl, but I couldn’t let myself. I wanted her too much not to be near her constantly. I sighed. This addiction really was starting to become a huge problem. But, as for right now, I would just continue to indulge in it.

Cat: I happened to have found myself in this amazing janitorial closet, in your building on the third floor. It’s pretty discreet for some fun activities if you know what I’m saying ;) I’ll only be here for twenty minutes, and if you’re not here then I suppose that I’ll help myself. See you soon. 

My dick immediately strained against my pants. What was this woman doing to me? I was sitting here, trying to get her out of my head, and she’d been invited back in, ten fold. I shouldn’t engage, I knew that. But my two heads were having completely different thoughts, and the battle between them was intense.

In the end, I relented. I got up and walked out of my office. My secretary, Jenna, was waiting at her desk, as she usually did. She’d been working with me for years, and I enjoyed her help. Her head rose, as she looked at me and offered me a huge smile.

Another thing about Jenna was the fact that she’d had a crush on me for the past two years, but it was never something that I’d indulged in. I made it a habit not to get involved with the people that I worked with. It had always been my golden rule, but allowing for personal matters to intertwine with business matters resulted in a huge mess.

And, I didn’t want anything messy when it came to my business.

Yet, here I was, ignoring my golden rule, as I’d done several times because of this one woman. But, there was something about Cat that I just couldn’t shake. I didn’t have the ability and I didn’t want to. I wished that we didn’t work together, that she wasn’t Mark’s daughter, but those things couldn’t be changed.

But, were they important anymore? Mark was important to me. We were like family, and he was the father that I’d never had. The last thing that I wanted to do was betray that trust and have our relationship fall into shambles. Was I willing to risk that just because I wanted her so badly?

What did Cat mean to me? Was she just someone that I was casually sleeping with because it suited me? But, if that were the case, wouldn’t I be able to shake her off? And, I definitely would have let her go if she was interfering with work as much as she was. So, she wasn’t some casual thing to me.

She meant something more.

But that thought terrified me. I didn’t want to think about it. She couldn’t mean more to me. I wouldn’t let her. She was already such a distraction, and I was working on building an empire. I couldn’t do that if my thoughts were
