I take his hand. “Sara Morris.”
He points at my hair as he takes his hand back. “Your hair should have tipped me off.”
Tom has red hair too. I nod. “We take after our grandmother.”
“I’ve always been a sucker for a redhead.” His cheeks flush a little as the elevator dings its arrival and the doors open. “After you.”
I walk into the office space. Low cubicles that are easily seen over take up the main floor. The guys have offices with great views toward the back of the building.
“It was a pleasure to meet you, Sara. I hope we work together.” Greg moves off in the opposite direction, lifting a hand to someone in the cubicles.
I walk toward the guys’ offices. I don’t know where they’re going to put me. My heart picks up pace as I draw closer. I didn’t think this through. I’ll be working with Dante, Finn, and Wyatt all day.
Two of them now know how I taste. Dante’s seen me naked while Finn’s only seen my pussy. Yeah, great first day thoughts.
“Sara.” Dante’s voice sends a bolt of awareness through me.
I turn and he gestures for me to follow him. He’s wearing a dress shirt with his sleeves rolled up to show his forearms. A black tattoo trails up his arm and peeks out of the collar of his shirt.
I’ve seen the man shirtless, in only a towel, and now I’ve seen his cock. And fuck, he’s big and curved and thick, and I don’t know if that would fit inside me, but I’m willing to give it a try.
Dante stops in front of a door and pushes it open. His eyes are back to their cool blue as he looks at me. “This is Tom’s office. Since he’s not here, we figured it would be best if you were close by so we could monitor you.”
“Sounds good.” I walk around him. Apparently, we’re going to be professionals today and not discuss how he made me come so fucking hard I saw stars. Pretty sure I blacked out for a moment too. We’re going to work and figure out what the fuck Tom was into.
Unlike Tom’s bedroom, his office is immaculate. His desk is free from any papers. Just a monitor and a keyboard off to the side.
“So what am I going to be working on while I’m here?” I set my purse on the desk and turn to meet Dante’s eyes, except his gaze was on my ass. He lifts it to mine.
I smirk as he clears his throat.
“Paperwork first.” He reaches onto the console, takes a folder of papers, and hands it to me. “I’ll come get you when you finish.”
“Oh, joy.” I walk around the desk and sit down in the chair. It feels weird to be in Tom’s office without him, but I grab a pen from the drawer before opening the folder to begin on my paperwork.

Sara
I finish the paperwork, but Dante hasn’t come back to check on me. I could go find him. His office is probably close. Instead, I open the drawer and put the pen back.
Fuck it. This is Tom’s desk. I open the drawer more and rummage through of various office supplies. A couple of blank Post-it Note pads. I grab a pencil and try the whole rub on the pad to see what was written on it thing, but come up with nothing. That’s all I get, nothing that tells me what he was working on or who he was working for.
I open another drawer and shift through the contents. Nothing stands out though. When I pull out another drawer, a piece of folded paper flutters to the floor. I glance up at the open door to see if anyone else is seeing this, but I’m still alone.
Closing the drawer, I pick up the paper. I unfold it and lay it on the desk. There’s a logo on the note that has “VV” in it. Then someone with really girly handwriting has a bunch of numbers in a column with a completely wrong total on it. My brother’s sharp handwriting totals the column correctly beside it.
I bite my lip. What if this is a clue? What if Tom just ran off with someone who’s terrible at math? Oh, Mom would be so mad. She’s been after Tom to go out with respectable women from good families. Yeah, Tom just blows her off, meaning Mom focuses on only me for setups.
I look at the note again and the logo.
Or maybe VV is the business he was working on that the guys can’t figure out.
Fuck it. I grab the paper and step out of Tom’s office to look around. The doors to the other offices are closed, but the conference room at the end has a window and I can see Finn in there.
Finn will know what to do with this. I walk over to the conference room and push open the door.
