Connor"Sir," my secretary stands at the slightly open door, "a couple wants to see you."My eyebrows knit together. "Who? Do they have an appointment?"She walks in, closes the door gently, and hurries to my desk. "It's Mr. and Mrs. Lockhart. Evelyn's parents. They are here to see you."Eh?"Here to see me?"She nods. "Yes. Um, do I tell them you're occupied? I could think of something—an excuse."I shake my head. They must be here because of the engagement. Evelyn said she would give me a heads-up, but she is away at a meeting for the company."Let them in. Thank you."A minute later, Evelyn's parents walk in. As soon as I set eyes on them, seeing her mother's bright smile and her father's serious eyes, my heart races."I should have prepared for a day like this," I mutter. I should have asked Evelyn to prepare a series of flashcards in case I ever ran into them and needed to convince her parents that we were two people madly in love.But...I am in love with her, aren't I? I know al

EvelynI see the flash as I turn my head to the large window showing a view of the street, but I don't see anyone. As much as I don't like the flashes and bright lights that come with being the fiancée of a popular CEO and public personality, I've schooled myself not to react in any way that might end up as a scandal."I'm probably just imagining this," I mutter. "Must be from all the pictures taken of us yesterday."Connor and I had to attend an event last minute, and a red carpet was outside the building. Suffice it to say we spent an hour trying to get from the limo that took us there into the place because of the press.There's another event tomorrow—I cannot wait until all of this is over—so I told him I'd go shopping myself instead of picking something from my closet.I'll also kill two birds with one stone and get a dress for myself for the unveiling gala that's in a little over a week.Then, I'll buy a piece of jewelry for my mom to apologize for sending her out of Connor's of

EvelynI whistle as I walk out of the complex, nodding politely at the few people who recognize me. But the second I step out, I see the same unfriendly face, with the same creepy smile."What the hell do you want?" I hiss."Just five minutes with you," he takes a step forward. "I want to get the inside scoop. The answer to the question is on everyone's mind. Why did Connor Everest choose a woman like you?""I mean," his beaded eyes roam over my body, and I feel violated, "you are beautiful, but you're not his type. And no one saw you two together before he announced the engagement. Even celebrities are not that good at hiding.""Could it be something else?""There is no inside scoop," I say with a note of finality. "If you keep on following me, I will call the police and sue you for harassment."He laughs an evil laugh as I turn around."Harassment? I didn't touch you. I didn't take pictures of you either, although it's not against the law to do so. I'm better than most people who ho

EvelynConnor takes my hand, and we walk to his car and get into a black Mercedes I don't recognize. Connor sits in the backseat with me, and when the car pulls away, he pulls me into his arms, lowering his head and kissing me on the mouth.I hold on to him as the adrenaline rush from being stalked fades away, leaving me drained."I'm sorry I couldn't get there faster," he whispers, touching his forehead to mine."How did you know I was in trouble?" I question.I understand he knew I was at the shopping complex because I told him, but he stopped Lance like he'd been around the whole time.He sighs."I knew something was going to happen, so I had two people watching you. I told them to stay a good distance away," he adds when my eyes widen in shock, "so they didn't infringe on your privacy. But if something happened, they were to call me."I don't know what to make of that. I've never had people shadowing me before or a reporter threaten to smear my name.It feels a little creepy, thou

Connor"What are you getting her?" I ask as Ken and I stand in front of the displayed rings, all of them in varying degrees of beauty and prices.Ken called me last night, asking for a last-minute favor. It was at eleven pm when I found out that my best friend had set his wedding date for two months from now and hadn't gotten a ring.He taps his chin."To be honest, I'm not completely sure. I know she doesn't want something traditional, but I can't seem to narrow it down to one. Or two," he looks at me helplessly. "Is it okay if I get her five? Or ten?"I laugh."As a wedding ring?""Engagement, too. I want to get something perfect," he sighs.Pointing to a ring with a sapphire gemstone, I comment, "This looks good. It's a good price, too."Ken shakes his head. "Price doesn't matter when it comes to Mira. I want to give her everything."I see."Then something from natural materials? You could get a couple of them," I suggest, pulling him and moving to another section. "These are made

Connor Ken enters the back seat and gives me the stink eye through the rearview mirror. "You could have said it was none of my business rather than leaving me there." My chest rumbles with laughter, and I stare at his frowning face. "Is that why you're seated at the back?" He nods and crosses his arms. "Yup. I'm at the back, that means you're my driver today." When I don't respond, he gestures to the wheel. "Come on. Let's go. Aren't you hungry?" My stomach grumbling keeps me from giving him a witty remark, and when he raises a cheeky brow, I chuckle. "I will be nice to you because you're getting married soon. After your honeymoon, be prepared to meet a ton of work on your desk. You were of little help with this project." "That's because I was attending to other duties," he complains. "And I could say the same about you. Do you know how many meetings I had to attend because you threw yourself into the project and working with Evelyn? It was like nothing else mattered." It f

ConnorWhen I get there, I find Evelyn seated on a colorful-looking couch. Her hundred-pound fur baby, Bucky is sleeping beside the chair, but he senses me and wakes up, running over and tackling me with sloppy kisses.Evelyn laughs as I attempt to keep him from tackling me to the ground under his weight and the ferocity of his affection until she comes to bail me out."Sit, Bucky."He does and she pouts at me. "He loves you, you know. But I'll take him to one of the rooms, so he doesn't try to maul you again."As she walks away, my eyes take in her apartment; the decor and the whimsical items she bought when we went decor shopping suddenly make sense. Everything seems to fit perfectly, from a large candle that doubles as a lamp to the beautiful artwork on the walls that makes up her personal space.Evelyn returns minutes later and she stands next to me, whispering in my ear. "Now that you're in, how do we celebrate this achievement?"Chuckling, I lift the bag in my hand."I brought y

ConnorBy the time Evelyn got there, I didn't want to let her go."They smell so good," she sniffs. "You've done a good deed, Mr. Everest."Then she drops the bouquet, takes a step forward, reaches high, and places a kiss on my lips. It's a brief, sweet one that satiates and leaves me longing all at once."Do you want to stay and drink the wine with me?"I shake my head."I should let you sleep. Why don't we drink it tomorrow? I don't want it to interfere with your beauty sleep."After she puts the bottle in the kitchen and the roses in a vase filled with water, Evelyn follows me to her door."How do you like my apartment?" She asks, holding the door open with one hand.We're so close that the only thing I'm looking at is her lips. I'm lost... contentedly lost in them."Connor?""Hmm?" I refocus."I missed you too," Evelyn says before she puts her hands around my neck and touches her lips to mine. I give in immediately, my lips parting to embrace the kiss.My hands go around her waist

Felicia.It's Wednesday, and I've been on pins and needles, waiting for everything to come together.Our department has been working around the clock to get the changes to the software ready. It's come a long way from the rough draft that Carson was originally shown.The team took my ideas and ran with them. They came up with some very innovative improvements on their own. Excitement is high.I've barely seen Collins as we're working opposite shifts.I'm getting ready to grab some lunch because I'm hungry. I skipped breakfast again this morning. My stomach has been acting up. Maybe Ellen was right, and I'm coming down with something."Felicia, it's Jaxson Gibson. Would you be able to stop by my office today?""Hi, Jaxson. Yes, I was getting ready to leave for lunch in a few minutes. I could be there in about fifteen minutes if that works?""Great. I'll see you then."When I walk into Jaxson's office, I'm shown into a small conference room in the back.Jaxson comes in. "Felicia, thanks

Felicia.It's Monday, and I spent most of Sunday looking up information about ReConstruct.Collins suggested I hire Jaxson and his team to look into the company's finances and bank records. I called Jaxson from the parking lot before I entered the building, so I'm running a little late.When I enter our department I find Ellen waiting for me in my office."Uh oh, are you here with good news or bad news?""You decide. Here are the projected sales from the third-party company. They re-ran the numbers based on the new marketing and pricing plan."I carefully put down my briefcase, sit down, and only then do I pick up the file in front of me.I quickly skim through their findings. Then I look up with a beaming smile."Let's get these over to Donovan Security.""Already done."After Ellen leaves, I lean back in my chair and just sit there with a smile on my face for a few minutes until I get a text from Collins.'I bet you're smiling!' With a smiley face emoji. My response is just a row of

Collins.It's Saturday, and we make sure we're home in time for the evening news."It's on every local news channel."We watch as the station airs the entire story of how a local security guard's life was endangered because of a faulty bulletproof vest. They sing the praises of Donovan Security and how we contacted the police when we suspected the vendor. Jaxson's involvement is not mentioned; instead, they praise the police. One news station ends its segment with a brief interview with Sanders.I turn off the television with the remote and shrug, "I wonder how long it will take for this not to be news.""Like Sam said, at least it's good news,""Yeah, and Donovan Security is getting free publicity. I'd say Sanders got a raw deal, but he's loving the attention."Felicia walks over to her briefcase, pulls out a large stack of papers, and sits down on the couch."Did you bring work home, Felicia?""Kind of. These are copies of my uncle's emails.""Felicia, I think that's against the law

Collins.I pull into Shot In The Dark, "How does a burger sound?""It sounds great. I'm hungry, too. I had no idea it was getting so late."We walk into the pub and slide into a booth.Quickly, the server comes around asking for our order, "A draft beer. Cheeseburger with everything and onion rings on the side.""For you, ma'am?""The same, but fries instead of onion rings, please."While we sit sipping our beer, waiting for our dinner, I smile at Collins."I can't believe I'm even considering buying a motorcycle. I was never interested in motorcycles before.""They're fun. I especially like to ride at night. Jacksonville is beautiful after dark.""Yes, it is.""Felicia, I like the idea of you riding a Can-Am Spyder because it's safer than the standard bike. Nothing against your driving. You ride really well. But if you're new to bikes, I just think you'll be more comfortable with three wheels. I wouldn't worry as much if you were on a Spyder.""Thanks; like I said, I'll think about i

Felicia.I'm at the office bright and early the next morning.I'm standing at the reception desk with Sue when Ellen arrives."Hi. Ellen, as soon as everyone is here, I'd like to have a meeting.""Is everything okay?""Everything is just fine.""Why do you have such a smile on your face? Aren't you worried?""No, I think everything is going to work out better than just fine.""Okay, what kind of happy pill did you take last night? You left here feeling low. Now you look like you're walking on air. Oh, that smile, that's a Collins smile. Did he rock your world last night?"Sue leans in and says, "Details, we want details this time.""Okay, I'll give you details. Collins had a bubble bath waiting for me when I got home last. He put on my favorite Jazz music and left me alone to soak all my cares away. He even lit candles around the tub. He did interrupt once to put a folded towel behind my head and a glass of white wine in my hand. Dinner was delivered, I ate it in my robe that he had l

Collins."Hey, Carol. Thanks for pulling those listings.""No problem, Collins. Did you find anything you like?""Yes, I didn't realize there were so many houses available in our area.""San Marco is a popular place.""Yeah, I love the neighborhood. Is there a service or anything that I could hire to take pictures of the backyards or a list of the backyard amenities? I'm looking for a home with a nice outdoor entertainment area.""I can type that into our search. You can be as specific as you want."I rattle off my wish list of what I'd like to see in the backyard."Anything else?""No, I already told you my requirements for the inside of the house.""While I don't want to put the duplex up for sale yet if you hear of anyone who might be interested in buying it. Let me know.""Collins duplexes in your area are hard to come by. Many people like to live in one half and rent out the other. You won't have any problems selling.""I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about talking to my

Felicia.We're two weeks away from our imaging camera software launch. Our buyer hasn't approved the marketing ads we sent over more than a week ago. So, I give him a call."Henry, It's Felicia Hayford-Donovan. I was wondering when we can expect approval for the marketing ads.""Oh, hi Felicia, um. I'm not sure. Let me get with my team and I can call you back.""Henry, we're getting down to the wire. Your manufacturing company agreed to bundle our software with your security cameras. Are you backing out of our deal?""Now, Felicia. I wouldn't put it that way.""How would you put it, Henry? I need a straight answer.""Look, let's just say that I've decided to go with another Hayford's recommendation.""Another, Hayford? As in my uncle, Vince Hayford?""Listen, Felicia, I couldn't turn him down. His deal was too good. All he asked me to do was back out of this deal. So, my hands were tied. Look, I wasn't supposed to let you know that we were asked to back out. Victor wanted me to keep i

Collins.I'm sitting in my office daydreaming about Felicia and that damn Brazilian-style swimsuit. I was hard or semi-hard all day. I should be used to that by now, living with Felicia.I couldn't wait for her to take off her beach coverup and then when she did, she made too tempting of a view in that suit.By three o'clock, I was ready to call it a day.We loaded the truck and headed home. Felicia helped me unload the truck, and then we decided to cook out in the backyard. I grilled some hotdogs while Felicia made some potato salad and baked beans.After we finished, Felicia took off her black skirt. I took one look at her perfect ass and had to have her. I felt most of the day was foreplay, anyway. When she cleaned up the leftovers on the table outside and took them inside the house, I followed her.As soon as she set the food on the counter, I bent her over the nearest piece of furniture and took her from behind. While I was pounding into her, I gave her another sharp pat on her s

Felicia.Collins finds a parking space at Neptune Beach and pulls into it. Then we both hop out and start unloading the truck."I can't believe we brought all this," I see Collins pulling stuff out of the truck bed."The cooler is on wheels, so it's not that big a deal. I like having something cold to drink.""Me too. I can carry the beach umbrella."I watch Collins as he loads the beach chairs on top of the giant cooler. I grab my beach bag and the umbrella and follow him."I like this beach the best. It isn't as crowded as Jax's beach."I'm glad I'm walking behind Collins so I can watch all his glorious muscles flex as he pulls the cooler with him over the sand. He's wearing a pair of long board shorts. His chiseled chest is bare, and I'm glad I'm wearing a big floppy hat and dark sunglasses so I can stare at my husband's body as much as I want.My goodness, that man is fine. As I trudge along behind him, I glance around at the beach. There aren't that many people at this time of th
