She stuck her lip out in an irritated pout but nodded and sat back against the seat.

Todd hopped out of the car without another word and went into the drugstore.

When he returned, he handed the bag to Rylee who turned a bright shade of red. “I’m so sorry he made you do that,” she muttered as she snatched the bag.

Todd grinned. “It’s fine, Miss Colton. It’s not the strangest thing a client has asked me to do, and I’ve got four kids at home. I’ve bought plenty of tests for my wife.”

That seemed to put Rylee at ease as Todd started the engine and drove them the rest of the way to the airport. On the plane, Rylee tucked the bag under a seat and curled up in one of the large seats, reclining it for a nap. He wanted to make her go take one of the tests, but he had a feeling that was something men weren’t supposed to do, so he left her alone.

Instead, he focused on what he was going to say to Jeremy when he confronted him. He had half a mind to fire him and find a new attorney, but he’d been working with Jeremy for almost as long as he’d been partners with Andrew, and he didn’t like the idea of losing two long-time friends in such a short time. But if Jeremy didn’t have a satisfactory explanation for his actions, Memphis was going to have to rethink that.

They were only in the air for just over an hour before they were touching down in Phoenix.

Memphis held Rylee’s hand as they walked from the plane to the waiting car. Inside, Memphis turned to her.

“Do you want to come straight to the office with me or go to my place and sleep some more? I can have you sit in on some of my afternoon interviews.”

Rylee shook her head. “I’m fine. I just want to be there when you talk to Jeremy.”

“What about the tests?” he asked, resisting the urge to order her to take one. It seemed unwise to order a woman to pee on a stick. Even if she was his submissive.

She shook her head. “Later. I don’t want to think about that right now. Let me focus on something I can actually have an effect on. We’ll worry about whether you knocked me up later.”

He bit back a chuckle and kissed her temple. “OK. We’ll do it your way for now,” he said.

The drive to his office was long due to traffic, and they barely made it in time for his first meeting. Jeremy was showing up at ten when he had a break between employee interviews, and he planned to confront him then.

The first interview was uneventful, and Rylee thought the woman was being honest when she said she’d had no idea what Andrew was up to. Memphis had the same reaction, so he crossed the executive off his list and waited for Jeremy to arrive.
