“Done! Now I’m in.”
He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a white piece of paper.
“Here is my clean report. I went to the doctor’s yesterday.”
Reaching into my purse, I pulled out mine.
“And here is mine.” I grinned.
“Then it’s settled. Let the fun begin.” He placed his hands on my hips and softly brushed his lips against mine. “I want to see you tonight.”
“I’d like that. How about my place around seven?” I asked.
“Sounds good. Should I pack a bag?” He nipped my bottom lip.
“Of course.” I smiled. “I want to discuss something with you and get your opinion.”
“Personal?”
“Business.”
“Okay. Looking forward to it.” His lips kissed mine. “I have to go. I have a meeting to get to.”
I walked him to the front of the store, where Noelle and Katie couldn’t keep their eyes off him. As soon as he exited the shop, I turned to them, and their eyes quickly diverted to something else.
“You two need to stop,” I spoke.
“Stop what?” Katie asked.
“Eye raping Jackson every time you see him.”
“We can’t help it,” Noelle spoke. “He is the best eye candy we’ve ever seen.”
“I’m not sure either of your boyfriends would like you saying or thinking that.”
“Then maybe they need to look like him, and we wouldn’t have to say or think it.” Katie smirked.
Rolling my eyes, I sighed and went back to finish some work before heading home and preparing for Jackson’s visit tonight.
Chapter Twenty-One
Jackson
“Hey, man. I need you to look at and sign this contract for the Delsey property,” Samuel spoke as he followed me into my office.
Taking the contract from him, I sat down at my desk, glanced over it, and gave it my signature.
“All set.” I handed him back the contract.
“Thanks. How did it go earlier with Emily?”
“Good. Papers are signed, the drama in my life is now gone, and I don’t have to worry about it from other women anymore. I can have my cake and eat it too.” I grinned.
“And you think that your companionship is just going to always be bright and shiny and perfect?”
“Yep. That’s why we signed a contract. If either of us breaks one of the ten rules, we cut ties and never see each other again. Life is great, Sam.”
Leaning back in his chair, he sighed. “So, if you end up cutting ties because of a broken rule, do you think it’s going to be that easy just to walk away from her?”
