I bend down and scoop it up to get a closer look. Ivy was wearing my coat for all of twenty goddamn minutes. I bring the soft fabric to my nose and breathe in Ivy’s sweet, sugary-like scent.Fuck me, it’s nice. I pop the black satin scrunchie in the basket on my fridge as I head for the shower.

Finders keepers.

CHAPTER TWO

Wade

NASH

Morning boys. @Sergeant, thanks for taking one for the team last night and driving Ivy home. I made sure your truck was locked when I left and I can come grab you to pick it up later.

NASH

Also, did she have fun? Rae won’t stop talking about her.

She had too much fun because this family never seems to keep a professional boundary

COLE

@Nash Pay him no attention. He’s just pissy because he had to sit two feet from her and pretend he didn’t notice how she looked in that red dress.

She’s my employee

NASH

Your employee? I said that once too. Something about thinking you shouldn’t that makes you want to look at her even more?

COLE

Fuck. We’ve talked about this too many times. It has to stop.

NASH

Sorry, you two are my only friends

NASH

I didn’t even see you two leave? I came back from my office and you were gone.

We looked for you but you and CeCe wereMIAand we didn’t want to know why

COLE

Again, not the image I need to add to my morning coffee, Jesus.

NASH

I plead the fifth and boys, thanks for being there. I can’t fucking believe I’m engaged.

COLE

LOLthe best part is, he has no idea

Fuck no he doesn’t, not a clue.

NASH

The fuck are you two talking about?
