Page 11 of My Wildest Obsession

Bossy hasn’t saidone word to me since we woke up this morning wrapped around each other. He’s barely even looked at me. Even when he held my hand the entire plane ride back to Los Angeles, he was stoic and silent.

I need to do something. Break the ice and get us back on neutral ground,I think as we wait to deboard the plane.

“Are you headed home?” I ask him and he blinks.

“No, we need to go into the office.”

“We?”

“You still work for me, right?” He asks sarcastically as he grabs his bag and walks off the plane.

I make a note to add a tally to his name as I do the same.

“Unfortunately, but why are we going into the office? The day is half over already. By the time we get there, it will be closer to one, maybe later if we stop for lunch.”

“We won’t stop.”

“Oh, good,” I snip and he takes off towards the exit.

“I’ll text Adrien or Levi. One of them can grab us food while we drive to the office.”

“What is so important that it can’t wait until tomorrow?” I demand to know as we head outside into the sweltering Los Angeles heat.

“I’ve been gone for close to two days. I need to check on things.”

“Workaholic,” I grumble.

“Your boss,” he grumbles back as he heads over to his driver.

I hand Lucas, Theo’s driver and head of security, my bags and smile at him.

“How was your day off?” I ask him, and he grins.

“Boring.”

“You’re the worst,” I tease. “A workaholic just like him.”

“That’s enough. We’re already running late,” Theo snaps, and I sigh as I climb into the car.

He’s on his phone, ignoring that I’m sitting right next to him and I turn to stare out the window. My phone buzzes, and I smile when I pull it out and see that it’s my eldest brother, Remington, texting me.

“Who is that?” Theo snaps, and my smile drops.

“My brother.”

“Which one?” He asks, sounding disinterested.

“Remington. The oldest.”

“Ah, the cowboy.”

I blink.

How the hell did he know that?

“Well, they’re all cowboys, technically.”

“The bull rider then,” he says, going back to his phone.
