CHAPTER TWENTY
EMILY
––––––––
Ihave weird butterfliesfluttering around my tummy and I know it’s because of Sebastian.They don’t belong alongside the ache between my thighs and yet they won’t go away.
Sometimes, the way he looks at me, I wonder if he feels anything.Then in a blink it’s gone.
Honestly, wearing a man’s ring on your finger—especially one the size of Texas—is a little confusing.
Even if there’s a beast of a man shadowing me because I’m wearing it.Josh is cool though; we’ve chatted a few times.
It’s not just the ring.
I know that.
God, the way Sebastian kissed me today, I could fall in love with that man.I know none of this is real, but he’s so damn handsome.So smart.So delicious.
He looked angry when Amanda shared the non-profit organization was my idea.I don’t know why.I was hoping it would impress him, and he’d see some value in my staying with Remington Obsidian.Keeping this job is so important to me.
There’s no way I’m going to tell him my father thinks I’m a big fat loser.That would be embarrassing.
He might have heard them over the phone call this morning, but I’m not elaborating if he did.
All I need to do is keep my job.
This time next week, I’ll be back in my apartment with a bare finger and three months’ rent paid up.Perhaps I could work with Amanda in her team.Sebastian wouldn’t need to see me.I never see her junior crew in meetings.
Tonight, I’ll sleep in the guest room and start creating distance between us.Perhaps then he’ll see I’m more serious about my job...and less about his cock.
Is that true?
Ugh.It has to be, otherwise I’m proving my father right.
It’s my birthday next week, and Lexi is arriving in New York.I can’t wait to show her around and introduce her to Terri and Donna.I’mnottelling Lexi about the fake engagement, as she’ll kick my ass.
