Then, he turns and gazes at me as if she’s chopped liver and I’m the most beautiful woman in the room.

It’safter midnight when we’re on the airplane flying back to New York City. We’ve just banged out all the sexual tension tonight had built in us. Regardless, I still can’t get Gabrielle out of my head. After Orion introduced me as his girlfriend, Gabrielle said, “Oh, nice, um, I should be getting back to my friends. Have a fun trip.”
“Thanks, I will,” he said and didn’t give her a second glance as she went back to wherever she came from.
Even though Orion clearly chose me, my insecurity won’t let me truly believe it. As I lay my head on his bare chest, I can hear his heart thumping. He’s at ease lying here with my face on his skin. I think I should ask him about her now.
“Gabrielle,” I say and listen harder for any changes in his heartbeats. There’s no change.
“What about her?” he says.
“You used to have a relationship with her?”
He chuckles and the sound creates a deep vibration against my ear.
“What’s so funny?” I ask, smiling pensively.
“You didn’t ask if she was my girlfriend because you know I don’t do girlfriends.” I close my eyes and smile when he kisses the top of my head. “And so does she.”
“But you called me your girlfriend,” I say.
“Because you are Lilly…Lila…” Orion pauses. “I like Lila, still.”
I chuckle. “Then Lila it is.”
Orion flips me onto my back, and says, “Guess what?” now that he’s between my thighs.
I can already feel it as he moves into me and I gasp with pleasure.
CHAPTER20
Breaking The News
ORION LORD
Umm…shit.
A kiss is never simply a kiss with Lila. I search over my shoulder, counting the steps between her desk to the top of mine. I’ve fucked her on top of my desk on Friday of last week, the morning after our New Orleans trip, and then again on Monday and Tuesday. What can I say, I like doing her on my desk. It’s pent-up frustration from all those days of looking at her sitting across from me and me thinking,I’d like to fuck her right now. Today is Wednesday. Last night was the first full night we hadn’t slept together. I was in the lab for twenty-four hours perfecting my AI software. Today, I’m presenting it to Herc. It was like pulling teeth getting my brother to take a look at what I came up with. I already know it’s going to be an uphill battle once I’m alone with him. It would be nice to go upstairs sexually satisfied.
“Orion, not now,” Lila says, following my eyes to my desk.
“Come on, babe. A quickie.” She’s so fucking tight. My cock is always happy at first thrust when I shift inside of her. “It won’t take me a minute.”
Her soft hands wrap around my wrist and then bring my watch to view. “Orion, you have less than two minutes the last I checked. You don’t want to be late for this meeting. Remember we talked through this already.”
I sigh long and hard. Lila and I had talked through it. I love that I can trust her enough to reveal that I’m battling an urge to drop the ball and keep with business as usual. I fuck up and Herc walks away proud of himself for having me pegged. But I’ve been doing a hell of a lot differently recently, including being loyal to one woman. When Lila and I ran into Gabrielle last week, that weak feeling that one look at her used to put in my belly wasn’t there. She’s an amazing beauty but so is Lila. The only difference is Lila doesn’t need the whole world to see it. Watching the two of them in one room put it all into perspective for me. I prefer Lila’s style of being. I find her sexier and more trustworthy. I’m ready to make her Mrs. Orion Lord today. But, I know her, she’ll need a lot more time before saying yes to marrying me.
“All right,” I say, accepting defeat and scratching the side of my face. “Shit. What am I going to do with this fucking boner?” It feels tight as I tuck it away. I’m so hard and ready to feel her. I don’t think it would take more than three thrusts but there’d be no pulling and praying.
She kisses me quickly on the cheek as I readjust my cock in my pants. “We’ll take care of it when you get back. I promise.”
I got an easy smile just thinking about the treat that comes at the end of this fucking presentation. I almost forgot, nobody can ice my hard-on faster than my brother. I only hope I can get it up soon after I’m done dealing with him.

Herc has a huge corner office.It looks just as important as he likes to make himself feel. I’ll hand it to my brother, he’s a smart guy. I like him. I’ve noticed he and Lila have a lot in common. They are both experts in excelling while following the rules. They’re two people who know how to keep a clear conscience.
