Mondays were always rough, but this one was brutal. Lily eyed the doors on either side of her walls at least a hundred times. She knew Sawyer was on one side and Jack on the other. All she could think about was being in their arms. Their mouths on her body.
She shuddered with the rush between her legs. One thought of wh
at they had done together over the weekend and she was wet and hot.
The weekend for the wedding in wine country had been the most romantic and incredible weekend of her life. She had a funny feeling not even the bride was as happy and giddy as she was.
If it wasn’t for the tech meeting in five minutes, she wasn’t sure she couldn’t trust herself not to walk through one of those doors. But which? She didn’t want to choose. She knew from now on, she would always want both.
She had given herself to them and she knew it included her heart.
She gathered her files and her laptop and headed for the conference room on the tech floor. She wondered if everyone was staring at her. If they could see that she had been taken twice. If they could see the afterglow still penetrating from her skin.
She shook the thoughts and took a seat at the head of the table.
“Good morning, everyone.” She smiled brightly at the group gathered in front of her. “Are you ready to get started on the integration proposal?”
“Lily, I have a few questions on his this is going to roll out,” Barb spoke up.
“Ok, then let’s go over it. Turn to page five for the timeline and we can work through it.”
In a matter of minutes, she was focused on something else. If there hadn’t been an entire team in front of her, peppering her with questions and needing her guidance she knew she’d be doing something entirely different.
It was after lunch by the time she wrapped the meeting. As soon as she entered the executive lobby, Penny met her at the elevators.
“I have something for you,” she announced.
“What is it?” Lily took the leather briefing packet.
Penny shuttled her into her office.
“There’s a conference in New York. All the top advertising executives are going to be there. It’s completely my fault. I’m so sorry, but I should have had you booked for this trip your first day here. I completely screwed this up. But we didn’t have anyone in charge of the department and I let it slip.”
“Penny, it’s ok. Don’t apologize.” She leafed through the itinerary. She would be spending two nights in New York and staying at the Waldorf. “Are you sure I need to go?”
She nodded. “Yes. I’m afraid to tell Mr. Kincaid or Mr. Rivers how royally I messed this up for you. You should be there. You are the leader in advertising now and without your presence, they would think Kincaid-Rivers would look overshadowed.”
Lily put her hand on the assistant’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. It will be fine. I’ll speak to them.”
“Can you just tell them you were going all along? Do you have to mention I was late in the planning?”
Lily bit her lip. She didn’t want to leave Chicago. She was just getting used to sleeping between Jack and Sawyer. According to the packet, she would be on a flight tonight. Maybe they would want to go to New York with her.
“Please?” Vicki pleaded.
“Oh, all right. But maybe I could go for one night instead of two?”
Vicki looked relieved. “Why don’t you try it and then if you need to come back early, we can arrange it.”
“I guess I should let…” her words trailed off. How did she speak about Sawyer and Jack in front of the other employees? “I’ll tell Mr. Kincaid and Mr. Rivers. Thank you, Penny. And don’t worry, it will stay our little secret.” She winked as the woman walked out of the office.
Lily took the leather file and walked through the secret door to Sawyer’s office. Usually the men were there together. She looked over at the sofa as she waltzed through the private lounge. She considered it the place she decided she wanted more than one man in her life. The place she opened her mind and body to endless possibilities. She smiled, tapping on Sawyer’s door.
“Come in,” he called.
She was right. They were both here.
“How is your day, sweetheart?” Jack brushed his lips against hers. He seemed to always like to get to her first.
