Cole: Show me what I’m coming home to tonight.

Another text comes through while I wait for Haley’s reply.

Trey: You coming to Thanksgiving?

Cole: Yes.

Trey: Good. Reid’s skipping.

Damn. Our baby brother works way too much, and for him to miss a family tradition makes it so much worse. He needs to simmer down and touch grass once in a while.

Cole: Should we kidnap him?

Trey: Thinking about it.

My cell vibrates again with a series of photos coming through from Haley. Holy shhhhiiiit. First one is her sucking her middle finger, those plump pink lips of hers wrapping around the digit just like they do my cock. Blood rushes to my dick immediately. The second is of her in my hoodie, her hand up around her neck, the other tugging the hem of the hoodie down between her legs. The third is the showstopper. She’s standing above her phone, giving me the best view of her pert ass and delicious pussy.

I can barely breathe.

Haley: Your turn, Daddy.

Fuuuuuck.

Looking around to make sure no one can see into my fishbowl office, I quickly unbuckle my pants and whip out my hard-on. Angling the camera just right, I snap a photo and—

“Noah wants us in his off—shit, sorry.” Jaedyn ducks out so fast, I’m left with my dick in one hand, cell in the other, and humiliation skating up my spine. I drop my cell on the floor, yank up my pants, and try to put myself back together behind my desk. Shit, shit, shit. That was so stupid of me.

Grabbing my cell again, I quickly smash a few buttons, shove it in my pocket, and hurry the hell out of my office. I catch up with Jaedyn quickly. “It’s not what you think.”

“If you were just sending a dick pic to your girl, then it's exactly what I think.” He looks straight ahead.

Let’s change the subject. “What do you think Noah wants to talk about?”

My cell vibrates in my pocket, and I ignore it. The last thing I need is to see what kind of sexy reply Haley sent me because my dick can’t be hard during a meeting with my fucking boss.

“Maybe it’s Christmas bonus time?”

“Yeah, maybe.” But my gut says it’s something else. “Do you think they’ve made a decision on the Marine Life building?”

“Bro, way too soon for that. I wouldn’t plan on hearing from them for a few months. I’m sure architects all over the tri-state area have submitted for consideration.”

True. And it’s not like I’m holding out to get the contract either, it’s just that I’m…

Okay, fine. I’m hopeful this will be my big break. A guy can dream, right?

My cell buzzes again.

“You gonna answer her?” Jaedyn asks, not bothering to hide his smile.

“I will after this meeting. She can wait.” My cell buzzes again.

Jaedyn side-eyes me. “She sounds like she can’t wait at all.”

I push open Noah’s door and head in first. Three others are already waiting with notepads and files in front of them. Shit, it’s a staff meeting. How the hell did I forget something like that?

And how did Jaedyn?

Noah shuffles papers on his desk, gracing us with a flick of his gaze before grabbing his coffee mug. “Have a seat, gentlemen.”
