I texted Zoey again.

Colton: Are you still up?

I walked out of the meeting room, too, intending to head straight to her apartment tonight. But she didn't reply, which meant she was probably asleep. Damn it, I needed to see her tonight. I wanted to tell her about the meeting. Not only so she knew I didn't brush her off for nothing but also because I wanted to share this with her.

Instead, I headed to the lab. I had too much energy to sleep, and the work was endless, so I’d better put it to good use.

Chapter Twenty

Zoey

Iswung my hips tothe left and right, pumping my fist in the air while I drank my morning coffee. I couldn't believe I'd fallen asleep at nine o'clock, but I felt super refreshed this morning.

Colton was going to drop by soon. I already had a text from him when I woke up. He’d sent it late last night, which meant he went to bed thinking about me.

I was going to show him exactly what I’d planned for him last night.

After drinking my coffee, I put the garters under my pink glittery dress. It wasn't appropriate for the office, more of a clubbing dress, but still, you couldn't see the garters unless I bent down, which I didn't plan to do.

At 9:20 a.m., my doorbell rang. Out of habit, I looked through the peephole, thinking it was Colton, and gasped. Holy shit, my brothers were here.

I took a step back, quickly glancing in the mirror. They’d immediately get suspicious if I opened the door wearing a sexy dress at this time of day. I darted to the bathroom, grabbing my fluffy maroon robe and putting it over me.

Shit. You could still see the top of the dress. It wouldn't do.

The doorbell rang again.

"Just a minute!" I yelled. Running to my bedroom, I took off the dress, putting on the first thing I grabbed, which was a homey cotton dress, then threw the robe back on.

I just had to make sure not to undo the belt of the robe because this dress was so short, you could see my garters. The last thing I did before I opened the door was text Colton.

Zoey: My brothers showed up here unexpectedly. Save yourself and don't come over just yet or they'll eat you alive. I'll text you when they're gone.

I put my phone on the console next to the entrance before flinging the door open. Dean was holding coffee cups, and Alex had bags of delicious treats that smelled amazing.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.
