Finley is whip-smart. I won’t be surprised by anything she has figured out. Still, I want to hear her say it so I’m sure we’re on the same page. “Having Evan as a partner in my law firmwill definitely be a benefit.” I glance at the man I’m crazy about. “He’s a fantastic lawyer.”

“But he’s more than a lawyer to you, right?” She takes a step closer to me. I feel Evan tense beside me.

“He’s also a friend,” I say.

“Right,” she says. “You can’t be more than that as long as you’re his boss.”

“What are you fishing for, Finley?” I ask her. “Just ask.”

“You might not tell me. It’s maybe not something that you want to risk getting out.”

“I trust you.”

Surprise flickers in her gaze, but she moves close enough that we’re now toe to toe. “You want to fuck him.”

See? I knew she’d be bold about it.

“Yes,” I admit.

She doesn’t seem surprised that I admitted it. “Evan told me.” She looks at Evan as she says, “But what Evan didn’t tell me is that you have feelings for him. More than just wanting to fuck him.”

“Yes,” I say.

She looks back at me. “And that means you don’t want me to fuck him,” she says.

Oh, is that where this is going? Interesting.

“Do you want to fuck him?” I ask.

I hear Evan make a noise that is part cough, part groan.

“I won’t lie and say it hasn’t occurred to me.”

“What if I told you that the thought occurred to me too?”

Finally, she looks surprised. “You thought of me fucking Evan?”

I lift a hand and drag my fingertip along her jaw. “You’re a gorgeous woman. We both like gorgeous women.”

Understanding, then interest, sparks in her big, beautiful brown eyes.

“And you would be okay with Evan and me being together?”

Her voice is breathy now, and I can see her pulse drumming at the base of her throat.

“I love when Evan is happy,” I tell her. “And I think you could make him very happy.”

She wets her lips.

I want to look at Evan desperately. But I know he would very much love to get naked with Finley.

“Finley?”

“Yes, Christopher?”

Ooh, I like her sounding obedient.

“Consider this a direct instruction from your boss.” I drag my finger along her jaw again and lean closer. “I want you to make Evan as happy as you possibly can.”
