CHAPTER 191

“Why don’t you just give your buddy Mason a call,” Jack said with a snide tilt of his lips as he crossed his arms over his chest. “You got me into the last launch with your connections. Why not this time?” “Do you really think we’re the only press trying to get a scoop? You don’t think I’ve already tried reaching out to Mason? For us to get this locked down, we’re going to need all the help we can get, so that means making nice with Dianna. You’ve had a year to mend bridges, Jack.” “And none of this would have happened if not for you,” Jack responded. Carter rolled his eyes. “Get over it. You know I have the best interest of all of us at heart. I would never let anyone into the building that I didn’t have complete confidence in. I did the background checks, Jack. Dianna has no connection to Kara. None. Riley was never in danger.” “But I didn’t know that,” Jack spat. Carter exhaled long and loud, leaning on the conference table and dropping his head for a minute. When he look

CHAPTER 192

Felicity smiled at Dianna. “You can go on through.” Dianna managed a smile for Felicity and looked toward the doors of Mason’s office with trepidation. She could very well be walking into her own execution and she had no defence. Mason could decide to end her employment with Black Sheep and she wouldn’t blame him…okay, she might blame him a little bit, but ultimately, if he deemed she wasn’t pulling her weight and had taken too much time off, she couldn’t exactly refute it. She’d had a lot of time off and even though she tried to work as much as she could, some days it just wasn’t possible. Her work was never late or sloppy or compromised, but her in-office hours were definitely less than ideal. “He won’t bite,” Felicity said from her gate-keeper’s desk. “If you tell me his bark is worse than his bite, I might have to hit you,” Dianna replied without looking away from the double wooden doors in front of her. Felicity chuckled. “Mason will not fire you, now get in there before

CHAPTER 193

Mason frowned harder…or deeper…or got more frownie…or whatever. “You think there is another blog more suited?” he asked. “I’m sure there is,” Dianna lied. “Hmm,” Mason hummed, looking at her strangely. “Give me some time to do some research,” Dianna blurted. “Let me bring you a couple of other alternatives and then we can decide.” Mason rolled his lips together and his eyes got narrow like he was trying to read her mind. Dianna swallowed and hoped like hell he wasn’t an alpha-wolf-shifter-mind-reader. “You’ve got until tomorrow,” he said. “Nine o’clock tomorrow, we’ll revisit this discussion then.” Dianna jumped to her feet to make her escape. “No problem,” she said and rushed from the office, not even sparing Felicity a glance as she power walked past her desk.What the fuck had she been thinking? There was no other blog in Australia that would be more perfect than The Playbook to partner with. Now she had to come up with a list of possibilities and she was drowning in

CHAPTER 194

“Hold the elevator!” Jack stuck his hand between the elevator doors to stop them from closing. As they whooshed back open, he saw Dianna making her way toward him. She hadn’t seen him yet, and he had a rare moment to observe her without her in attack mode. She moved slower than he was used to seeing her and he was about to open his mouth and make a sarcastic comment when he noticed she wasn’t just moving slower; she was limping. Jack frowned. Was she injured? “Are you—” Dianna looked up then, caught sight of him, and scowled. The words he was going to say died on his tongue. Before his eyes, she transformed. Her back and shoulders straightened and the beat-down look on her face melted away. In place was the ice queen he’d become all too familiar with. He sighed. It was his own fault, really. He knew he’d created this problem and he should fix it. Now more so than ever. He needed Paper Gate and Dianna was his way in. They didn’t have to be friends, she just needed to not ac

CHAPTER 195

Dianna watched Jack slam his door and sighed. She leaned against the hallway wall, taking the weight off her hip and lower back, and grimaced. That hadn’t gone well. Moving slowly, she let herself into her apartment and let her bag fall from her shoulder. She kicked off her shoes as she made her way to the bedroom and stripped off her dress, leaving it in a heap on the floor as she dragged herself into the ensuite. Groaning, she bent over to turn on the taps to fill the bath and then dumped a heap of Epsom salts into the tub along with some bicarb. The bicarb helped to open the pores so the Epsom salts could do their job, or so her acupuncturist advised. Whatever, it felt good and her skin was super soft after. It was her little bit of self-care and even if it didn’t have any medicinal properties, just the fact she was doing something for herself was good enough. Dianna dropped some lavender oil into the bath too, but not too much. Too much gave her a headache. While the bath

CHAPTER 196

So no, she didn’t want anything from Jack. She didn’t need anything from Jack, even if his attitude toward her pissed her off to no end. Men could all go to hell, as far as she was concerned. Okay, not all men. Mason was pretty decent for having a penis, and some of the other guys that lived in the building seemed nice enough, but not Jack. Jack was firmly in the bastard column, and she’d had enough of those to last her a lifetime. Still, she probably shouldn’t have jumped down his throat earlier. He had tried to apologise and even though she knew it was only because of Paper making nice with him would serve her purposes too. Mason wanted her to work with The Playbook and that meant working with Jack and as hard as she’d tried to find an alternative, there wasn’t one. What she should have done was gracefully accept Jack’s apology and let them move on to a tacit but non-combative working relationship. Instead, she’d bitten his head off and her only excuse was the gremlin that live

CHAPTER 197

The darkness wrapped around Jack like a comforting blanket as he settled on the couch, a glass of scotch in one hand and his gaming controller in the other. The silence was warm and soothing, and for the first time that day, Jack felt like he could take a deep breath. Riley was fed, bathed, and asleep in his bed. The house was tidy, and the dishes done, and the rest of the evening stretched out before him. It was time to lose himself in a bit of adventuring—virtual adventuring, at least. He slouched back against the couch cushions and sipped his drink while he waited for the game console to boot up. He didn’t have to worry about work, Riley, or even his neighbor and the pile of steaming shit he had to somehow fix. For the next couple of hours, all he had to worry about was the horde of angry dwarves that stood between him and the treasure. Jack logged into his private user account. He was a man with multiple personalities—or at least it felt like it at times. To his eight hu

CHAPTER 198

On the screen, JJ opened the door, and they crept into the dark tunnel. It was on the side of a mountain and they’d had to battle untold numbers of dwarves, werefolk, and magical constructs as they climbed the narrow track through snow and battering winds. “Slow,” Dianna whispered. “Remember the trap.” She didn’t need to whisper. The monsters hiding in the dark on the screen couldn’t hear her voice, but this was a momentous occasion, and it felt only right to whisper. “I remember,” JJ whispered back. Okay, that shouldn’t sound so good, but it did. She could listen to JJ whisper the phone book to her all day long. There was something incredibly intimate about having someone whispering directly into your ear hole via a headset. No matter that JJ could be clear across the country or in another country altogether, as far as she knew. Which was another reason not to allow herself to be attracted to him…or maybe it was a point in his favor? If he only ever remained

CHAPTER 199

“U h…Dianna?” Dianna looked up from her desk and squinted at her assistant, Maria. “Why do you sound weird?” “Um…you have a delivery.” “A delivery?” she asked, pushing up from her desk. She never got deliveries at work. “What is it?” “I think you need to come out here and see for yourself.” Frowning, Dianna crossed the floor of her office and stepped out into the open plan space beyond her door. Every desk within sight held a pile of lemon-yellow bakery boxes stamped with a silver crown. There had to be at least fifty of them all told. “What the fuck?” Dianna breathed as she opened the nearest box on Maria’s desk. The box held six of the most perfect-looking lemon meringue tarts Dianna had ever seen. “There’s a card,” Maria said, handing her an envelope. Dianna slid the note out of the envelope and looked at the single word written on it. She flipped it over to see if there was anything else, but the reverse side was blank. “What did it say?” Maria asked. Dianna

CHAPTER 200

Jack got out and slammed the door closed. “We have a meeting here?” he asked. “Yep. Mason called me this morning and asked if we could meet with him.” “Does this mean you were able to work your weird magic and smooth things over without involving Dianna?” Jack asked hopefully. “This has nothing to do with me,” Carter replied as they headed across the stone plaza in front of the Black Sheep building. “Mason reached out to me.” Hmm. Maybe the tarts had done their job after all? It was almost too much to hope for, but if Mason Pressfield had reached out to Carter for a meeting, that had to be a good sign, right? Or he was going to personally tear strips off them for being mean to Dianna. Jack snorted. Nope, that wouldn’t happen. A man like Mason wouldn’t bother with the petty squabbles of those so far beneath him. The man was an enigma and one of the youngest billionaires in the country. After the release of Paper, his stock price would undoubtedly increase tenfold. No way was
