She lets out an awkward laugh. “Uh sure. Thank you. I’ll get it cleaned and bring it back to you.”

I shake my head. “Don’t worry about it. I’m sure I could afford to part with a shirt.”

I motion to the bathroom joined to my office. She heads over there and shuts the door. I hear her cursing behind it, and I smile to myself.

I don’t know how long I stand there staring at the bathroom door, but Jenny clears her throat to get my attention with a knowing look on her face.

I raise an eyebrow at her. “I’ll just head out and get you another coffee, Grayson,” she says with a smirk before walking out.

As she leaves, I hear the elevator ding and the other guys step out.

“Morning Ethan, Asher, Levi. I’m just grabbing another coffee for Grayson. I’ll be back in a moment,” Jenny says.

They come to my office door where I’m still standing and giving me questioning looks.

I sigh and run a hand through my hair. “Kyla didn’t realise that I was in my office. I scared her, and she spilled my coffee all over her shirt.”

“Well, you don’t jump out and say “boo” until she’s been here at least six months,” Ethan says with a grin.

“I didn’t” I start, but don’t bother finishing. I know that nothing I say will help the situation.

Before anyone can say anything else, the bathroom door opens and Kyla comes walking out with her head down adjusting the dress shirt I gave her. It’s a darker blue that seems to work on her. She has the sleeves rolled up to just below her elbow. The black flared skirt she’s wearing shows her curves in the right way. She still doesn’t notice any of us staring at her as she walks out. She’s tying the shirt around her waist since it’s a bit too long for her. It’s obvious that she’s wearing a man’s shirt, but no one but us will see her on this floor, so it doesn’t really matter. The sight of her in my shirt is fan-fucking-tastic. I bite my lip to keep from groaning out loud.

She looks up and immediately stops in her tracks.

“Oh, hi sorry. I’ll just get right back to work,” she says with an adorable blush staining her cheeks, and quickly walks past my men, not looking at them.

“Fuck,” I hear Ethan mutter under his breath.

Fuck is right.

We all watch her walk out of my office not bothering to hide that we are checking her out.

I can’t help but wonder why she buttoned it up the whole way. Most women would take the opportunity so show off some cleavage. I’ve never seen her show any cleavage even though it’s not hard to see that she’s rocking a serious rack underneath that shirt.

“Fuck Gray, she looks good in your shirt. Wait a minute, isn’t that your favorite shirt?” Asher asks loud enough for all of us to hear, but quiet enough that Kyla doesn’t hear him.

I nod my head. “Yeah, but I told her to keep it. I’m glad that I did. Couldn’t you just picture her wearing nothing but that shirt, hanging low enough to hit mid-thigh, and nothing on underneath?” I question as I bite my lip and adjust my pants due to my cock hardening at the image of her in nothing but my shirt.

“You guys remember what we talked about,” Levi says in a clipped tone.

“Yeah, we all know Levi. We are not going to push or rush anything, but I’m also not going to say ‘no’ if the time is right and she shows interest in all of us,” Ethan says. We all nod our heads in agreement.

I shake my head and retreat back into my office. As hot as Kyla is right now, I have some serious work that needs to be done.

Everyone goes into their separate offices. I skip out on lunch with the guys and tell them that I’m working on a project, but Levi drops some more coffee and water on my desk and orders me something to eat. I work in between bites because I know Levi; he will be back in to make sure that I ate. He doesn’t care if I spend all day or night working, but he likes to make sure everyone eats when we are busy like this.

I send countless emails and try to work out the finances of the company. All the numbers come to me at the end of the day. Nothing gets approved without my eyes looking at it.

I was always good with numbers, so it was natural that this would be my way to contribute to our company.

We own a computer software company and there are many things that go into it. We took a shot and it paid off greatly, but it takes a lot of work to keep it going. We always needs to be updating it all with the latest technology. We spend lots of our time investing in other people’s dreams too. When we see something we like, we decide to see it through.

I hear each and every one of the guys tell me that they will see me at home. I wave them off, and they all leave with chuckles knowing that I’m knee deep in work and not much can distract me at this point.

I had only stopped today to say goodbye to Jenny and make sure that she would come by after she had the baby. That reminded me to make sure that Tristan had a couple weeks off with pay to help out with a new baby since it will be quite an adjustment for them. I do what I can to help. Tristan is a good employee, and every family deserves to be together when there is a newborn.

My eyes are starting to hurt when the office becomes dark and there is no more light in the sky. I rub a hand over my face and let out a sigh. When I look at the time, I see that it’s past ten o’clock.
