“Are you not going to say anything?” Tina asks.

“Not my problem. We aren’t on company time,” Wilder says. “Macie can handle her own. If she needs me, I’ll defend her.”

“But you won’t defend me? Are you that cold that I mean nothing to you? We were going to get married.”

“First of all, no, we weren’t. You were nothing more than an easy fuck when I wanted to stick my dick in something, and that didn’t even stop me from letting your sister suck my cock,” he says. “Second, Macie has been in my life for my entire life. She and Arden come before everyone.”

“You’re such an asshole,” she huffs as she stands.

“Take the rest of the day off. Macie and I have a lot to do at home to get her settled,” Wilder says. “Get on the jet on time or I’ll leave without you.”

“Whatever,” she says. When she walks away, I laugh.

“I’m sorry,” Wilder says.

“It’s okay. I can handle her,” I say. “Did you really cheat on her?”

“No, but she definitely thinks I did now,” he laughs. “I’m a little shocked that you made her think about you and I messing around.”

“Yeah, I got carried away. She pissed me off,” I say. “It would definitely piss her off if she thought we were messing around.”

“Almost pissed enough to quit,” he says with a grin.

“Are you suggesting making her think you and I are fucking?” I ask, and he grins. “Oh, lord. You’re serious.”

“Wouldn’t take much to send her over the edge, honestly,” he says. “A few times of her thinking she walked in on something or answer her call with you moaning in the background?”

“She would stab me if you answered your phone with me moaning in the background,” I laugh.

“Oh, but it would be so funny,” he laughs.

“You really wanna push her out?” I ask.

“I really do,” he tells me. “Wanna help?”

“Okay, but under one condition,” I say.

“Name it.”

“Change out all the shit in your office you fucked her or anyone else on,” I say.

“Done,” he says, pulling his phone out. He taps around for a minute before slipping his phone back into his pocket.

“I didn’t mean right now,” I laugh.

“I don’t like the reminder of my mistakes,” he says.

“You won’t regret making everyone think you’re fucking me?” I ask.

“Not even a little bit,” he smiles. Heat rushes to my face and I try to look away, but he catches my chin and makes me look at me. “We are going to have to talk about why you blush like that when I smile at you.”

“I do not,” I say.

“Macie,” he says with a sweet smile as he cups my blazing hot cheek. He says nothing and I feel like I’m going to crawl out of my skin. I don’t know what to do with myself when he looks at me like this.

“Wilder, please stop teasing me,” I whisper.

“Remind me to show you later what teasing actually is. I don’t think you can handle it in public,” he winks.
