I saw Kat leave. I hoped we could talk.
“Doesn’t she always?”
“What can I say, my big sister’s a workaholic, with delegation issues. She has no off switch, just like Dad.” Caleb looks at the door and sighs. “I hoped the break away would help slow her down, but she seems to have come back like a woman possessed. Did she rest at all while you were away?”
Memories of Kat, head thrown back, mouth open as she came hard around my cock, flood my brain. I shift uncomfortably.
“We worked on the project. I know she was in constant contact with the office. She did have some downtime.”
“That’s good to know. Did you and she…”
My heart thunders in my chest.
“Get to sort out whatever stick has been stuck up her arse where you’re concerned?”
I exhale slowly.
“We talked, called a truce,” I say vaguely.
If that’s what you can call it.
“A lot of the ideas in the proposal are Kat’s. She knows her stuff.”
Explaining Kat and my past is not something I’m going into, not when it has remained between us for sixteen years. Caleb and Elijah have always fished, but I’ve simply shrugged, deciding it was up to Kat what she told her brothers.
Caleb sighs as if disappointed.
He looks up. “What time are you heading off to meet your dad?”
I glance down at my watch.
“Three hours, before we catch the Eurostar.”
“Fancy grabbing some food before you go?”
“I was actually hoping to catch Kat before I leave.”
He smiles and pats my arm, making me frown.
“No problem,” he says, his tone a little too chirpy. His expression lets me know he’s pleased with my answer.
He hasn’t bothered to question me about Michelle. The fact that I was home by ten thirty probably told him all he needed to know.
I makemy way up to Kat’s office.
Michael is on guard duty outside.
“Is Kat available?”
He looks up and freezes. “Ms Frazer is on a call,” he says.
I smile. “That’s okay. I can wait.”
He scowls as I take a seat and pick up one of the magazines that have been placed neatly on the table. They all have articles on Frazer Hotels. I open the top one and begin reading their article dedicated to Kat.
Kat’s door opens.
“Michael—” she stops instantly the moment she sees me.
