“Boring,” Kai mutters. “No wonder Dakota dumped him.”

Zane studies me. “Do you think he’s boring in bed?”

“I am not boring in bed,” I grumble.

“Let’s ask Dakota.” Kai starts for the door.

“Don’t you dare bother her.”

“Because you care for her?” Kai asks.

“Or because you know she’ll confirm you’re boring in bed?” Zane asks.

“Whatever.” I throw my hands in the air. “You stay here. I’ll go work in Kai’s office.”

Kai’s eyes widen. “I have an office?”

“I blame you,” I tell Eli.

“Me?” He taps his chest. “What did I do?”

“You’re the one who thought it would be a good idea to found a company with the Raider brothers.”

Kai smiles. “It was an excellent idea.”

“Totally excellent.” Zane and Kai high-five each other.

“Enough shenanigans,” Eli declares. “Everyone out.”

I’m not going anywhere. “This is my office.”

Eli rolls his eyes. “Except you. We need to talk.”

Kai pats Eli’s shoulder. “Good luck with the grumpy one.”

Eli pushes Kai and Zane out of the room and shuts the door behind them. I collapse in my chair. “They’re just going to eavesdrop from Zane’s office.”

Eli sits across from me and grins. “But we can pretend we don’t hear them.”

“No one puts baby in the corner,” Kai shouts.

“I got this,” Eli mutters as he pulls his phone out of his pocket and starts typing. “That should do it,” he says before pushing send and stuffing his phone back in his pocket.

Barely five seconds pass before I hear a stampede in the hallway. “What did you do?”

He shrugs. “I said I’d pay their bar tab today.”

I whistle. “It’s barely noon. That’s going to be some bar tab.”

“What’s the sense of being a billionaire if I can’t pay a bar tab for my brothers once in a while?”

“Don’t expect me to watch over them. I have work to do.”

“I don’t expect you to watch over them.”

“You’re on the hook for bail money.”

“I opened an account with the police department a while back.”
