Page 47 of Three Bossy Boyfriends
“Oh, I’m sure. She is pissed. And she left the door open while she chewed their asses. About eight people overheard. And no one heard Christopher or Evan deny it. In fact…” She pauses dramatically. “Evan said that yes, they have feelings for one another and yes, they understand that it’s a problem.”
My eyes widen, and my heart starts pounding. This is really bad for Evan.
Also, I should act like it’s really bad for me.
Dammit.
“I am…” I look up at Tucker, who is watching me with wide eyes. Then I look at Kyle, who is looking at me with concern. “I need to find Evan.”
I really do. I feel like we’re friends. Ihatethat he got fired. This whole thing was about him making partner. Hereallywants that. This is so bad.
Should I go talk to Christopher? He wants Evan to have the partnership too. Yes, because he wants to bang the sweet little nerd, but also because he really likes and respects Evan and because he’s a hell of a lawyer.
He’s probably upset too. Does he blame himself? I suppose he should. Not that I would ever say that to my kind of growly boss. I still feel like I want to get Christopher’s take on all of this.
But I can’t.
If I go in there, I’m going to have to act all upset that he kissed my boyfriend. How’s that gonna go? It’s not like I can stomp into a fancy big-shot lawyer’s office—who is my boss—and get all pissy as the woman scorned.
I frown. “Maybe I should go talk to Mary Grace. How can she just fire Evan? He’s an associate here, and I know she’s a partner, but she can’t just do this by herself, can she?”
“Well, she does have to get the other partners to agree, at least the majority of them. But that’s her father and…” Realization suddenly dawns on Kyle’s face.
I fill in the blank for her as the same realization hits me. “And my father.”
Oh shit, this just got even worse. Mary Grace is going to call my father and tell him that Christopher and Evan were kissing in the office.
So my dad is not only going to have to respond as a partner but also as the father of the woman who Evan is cheating on.
“I need to?—”
Suddenly, a big hot hand wraps around my upper arm, and Tucker starts tugging me down the short hallway to our left.
“What are you doing?” I ask him.
“You need a minute to breathe.” He stops next to the door to one of the conference rooms, opens it to look inside, then ushers me through the door. He steps in behind me and shuts the door. He peers down at me. “Process what just happened. Take deep breaths.”
I stare up at him.
“I don’t think what Kyle just told you has really sunk in, and I think it should before you do anything.”
I continue just to look at him. He’s really good-looking. Evan is pretty, Christopher is handsome, but Tucker is rugged in a way neither of them are. In a way that really does it for me.
Too.
I’m wildly attracted to all three of them. Is that possible? Is that a problem? Does that say bad things about me?
No, dammit, society has conditioned women this way, but it’s totally fine to lust after fine men and to want three at once. Who cares? You’re not hurting anyone.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Tucker asks.
I shake my head. “Like what?”
“I don’t know. You don’t seem upset, really. You seem…worried. But not angry.”
“Oh…it’s just that…”
Tucker moves in closer. “You spent the night at Evan’s last night, right?”
