“No, I did not fuck the nanny. And yes, she’s hot. Smoking. She looks likeJessica Rabbit.”

Seb’s eyes widen. “Jessica Rabbit? Like… the big tits and the red hair, Jessica Rabbit? The cartoon?”

“Exactly. I feel like the big guy in the sky is fucking with my head. I’m barely through the divorce after the shittiest marriage known to man, and then this? A drop-dead gorgeous twenty-six-year-old walking around my house with bare feet and tiny pyjamas. A Scottish redhead with an accent that goes straight to my dick.” I run a hand down my face. “I don’t know what the fuck to do with myself.”

For a second, neither of them say anything, then they both speak at once.

“Fuck her,” Seb replies.

“Fire her,” Nico instructs.

I address Nico’s suggestion first. “I can’t fire her. I dropped my towel in the sauna this morning and she got an eyeful.”

“You didn’t.” Seb laughs, eyes widening.He’s enjoying this way too much.

Nico shakes his head, lips tight. “You’re setting yourself up for a sexual harassment charge.”

“Oh, come off it,” Seb says to Nico before turning to me. “You didn’t whip the towel off deliberately did you? You weren’t flashing the poor girl?”

“Fuck’s sake. No. She slipped and grabbed my towel.”

Seb’s eyes dance with amusement, and his lips split into a smile, revealing straight white teeth. “Soshepulled your towel off?”

“Yes. Accidentally. But then she stared at my dick in the mirror like she’d never seen one before.”

“Are we talking shock here?” Nico asks. “Because again, I’m going with potential sexual harassment charges.”

“I don’t know if it was shock. I have no idea what she’s thinking. She just… swore. A lot.”

“Did it turn you on?” Seb is barely controlling his amusement. The fucker is smiling so wide, it looks like his head’s about to explode.

“The swearing?”

“No.” Seb waves his hand in the air like he’s slapping the obtuseness out of me. “The whole thing. You being naked, her looking. Did that turn you on?”

“No.”Yes. “I’m not a horny teenager who can’t control himself.”

Seb rolls his eyes. “Whatever. If I’m dropping my towel in front of Jessica Rabbit, who’s staring at it with her mouth hanging open, then my dick’s gonna be enjoying the show.”

“That’s because you’re filthy,” I tell him.

His eyebrow twitches upwards and a smirk contorts one side of his lips, as if to say,You know you’re as bad as I am.

And he’s right. But I can’t give him the satisfaction. I cannot share that I got a raging hard-on because of whatever the hell is going on between me and Aries, and had to go and sort myself out in the shower afterwards. I pumped my dick like I wanted to punish it. I’m surprised there’s any skin left after I beat it so hard. It wasn’t even a satisfactory orgasm; it was functional and fast. But I couldn’t stop picturing Aries… those full, pink lips around my cock… her breasts, so round, begging me to take a handful. How I wanted to suck on those nipples that were pointing right at me…

Fuck’s sake. Maybe Nico’s right. I need to let her go before I do something I’ll regret. But I infinitely prefer Seb’s solution: fuck her.But I can’t do that, can I?

“Okay, you can’t fire her,” Seb says, like he’s read my mind. He positions himself to take his shot. “So fuck her.”

“Is that what you would do?” I ask.

His upper lip curls with distaste. “No. I would never fuck someone who works for me, at home or in the office. I might be filthy, but I keep my business clean.” He shoots an accusatory glance at Nico, who rolls his eyes.

“She might quit, you know. I’d probably quit if you came at me naked,” Nico replies, entirely serious. “Problem solved.”

Seb’s still grinning when he swings the club in a perfect arc. The ball cruises into the air, landing even further than Nico’s, just short of the green. It’s a great shot.

When the ball finally comes to a standstill, he looks over his shoulder at me. “Go have sex. Then you might be able to keep up with us.”
