“Great to be back. And it’s Sebastian and Trinity. We’re not ones for standing on ceremony.” He scanned the immediate vicinity. “Is Kadon around?”

This was the first time I’d met Sebastian Devereaux. According to Kadon, he’d normally spend two or three weeks of the season at the club, but this was his first visit since I’d started working here. Kadon had said he was a down-to-earth guy. Looked like he was right.

“He’s on his way. I warn you, he’s mentioned golf once or twice.”

Sebastian chuckled. “Yeah, he’s sent a couple of texts about it, too.”

He put his arm around his wife and looked at her with adoration. I’d often wished Benedict would look at me like that. He never had. He’d put it down to his staid English upbringing. Said he struggled to show emotion, but that didn’t mean he didn’t feel it. Back then, I’d believed him. Stupid me.

“Too bad for Kadon that my wife trumps him every time.”

“You can play if you want to,” Trinity said. “I’m sure I can amuse myself.”

“Nope. I’ve barely had time to breathe these last few months. You’re my priority.”

I almost swooned.Where do I find one of these men?

“Seb.” Kadon strode over, hand outstretched. “Great to see you. It’s been a minute.”

I stifled a giggle. Kadon caught my eye and narrowed his. I beamed at him.

“Sorry I missed you at Nolen’s wedding last weekend,” he said to Sebastian.

“Yeah, I tried to shift things around, but it wasn’t possible. Ryker said it was a terrific day.”

“It was. I hope Leesa has been taking care of you.”

Funny how he called me Lee when it was only the two of us, but Leesa in a professional capacity. Not that the why of it mattered. I loved the fact that Kadon was the only person to call me Lee. It solidified our special relationship. I’d never had girlfriends, not really. The modeling world was a competitive one, and it always raised suspicion if someone tried to be your friend. Usually, they had a hidden agenda. I’d gone into modeling at such a young age that I hadn’t even made school friends. A tutor who’d traveled with me had provided most of my schooling.

“She has.” Sebastian threw me a wink. “She’s even tipped me off that you’re still rambling on about golf.”

Kadon faked a shocked expression, his hand clutching his chest as if in the throes of heart failure. “You traitor. And here I was thinking you had my back.”

I tapped a finger against my bottom lip. “Hmm, aren’t you the one who drums into us that our guests are our top priority?” I wouldn’t normally jest in front of our VIPs, but Kadon had made it clear that Sebastian was a friend of his and an all-round great guy. It gave me the confidence to be myself. “I’m only doing your bidding, dearest boss, and making sure I arm Sebastian with a rebuttal. He’s here to spend time with his lovely wife, not play the most pointless game in the world with you.”

Both Sebastian and Kadon sucked in a sharp breath. Trinity beamed.

“Finally!” she expelled. “Someone who thinks the same as I do. Itisa pointless game. A perfectly pleasant walk ruined; that’s what they say about golf. And it’s true.”

“You’re lucky I love you despite your hatred of my beloved hobby.” Sebastian pressed a kiss to his wife’s temple.

“You’re lucky I loveyou, despite yourloveof your pointless hobby.”

Ohhh. I liked Trinity. I liked her a lot.

“So that’s a no to a game of golf, then?” Kadon asked.

“Another time, buddy. If I can find a space in my calendar, I’ll swing over to Dubai this winter. Drop me a line when you’re planning to be there.”

“Sounds like a solid compromise.”

“Shall I show you to your bungalow before Kadon tries another tactic to get his own way?”

Sebastian sniggered. Trinity’s beam grew.

“As if I would.”

“We both know that’s a lie.”
