up the phone. He wondered if Guy knew he was going to a wedding.
Chapter Four
Jacob went bright and early to see his agent, Mandy.
"Hey, superstar, what are you doing here?"
Jacob sat down and told her what was going on with the wedding. "I really need that weekend off."
Mandy stared at him for quite a while before letting out a sigh. "You know I'd give anyone else crap for trying to change their schedule."
"I know." Jacob ran his fingers through his hair as he waited for the verdict.
"I'll see if they'll change their dates, but if not, I'll have to give the account to another model. Maybe Gregor." He could see by the evil glint in her eyes she was trying to push his buttons.
"Give it to whoever you want to, Mandy. I'd like to do the shoot, but I understand if I have to be replaced. Not missing the best day of my friend's life is more important to me than a modeling contract."
Mandy pulled a sheaf of papers out of her desk and looked them over. "We're in luck. This one doesn't have your name specifically listed. We can give them the option."
"Thanks, Mandy. I really appreciate it."
Mandy stood up to shake his hand. "You've been a good trooper all these years Jacob, the least I can do is cover for you once in a while."
Jacob left the agency with a lighter step. Things were falling into place; he just had to make one more phone call.

Guy was in the middle of a meeting, looking over the photos of another dead model, when his phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, he saw it was Jacob and excused himself. Jacob might need him. Everyone else could wait.
"Hello, gorgeous. How are you doing this morning?"
"I was wondering if you'd like to go to Seattle with me."
"Sure, when do you want the plane ready?"
Jacob laughed. "Perhaps I should give you more details."
Minutes later, Guy was roaring with laughter. "So let me see if I get this straight. You, the international gorgeous fashion model, need me for arm candy? You know Cash will never let me live this down. We've known each other for years."
"Does that mean you will or won't go as my date?"
"Do I get to pull out all the stops of an adoring boyfriend? Take you in my private jet, arrive in a limo?"
"Now don't get carried away," Jacob warned.
"Oh no. If I'm going to be your boyfriend, I'm going to enjoy myself."
He smirked when Jacob groaned over the phone. "You're going to be out of control, aren't you?"
"Yep."
"Will you do it?"
"Definitely. I'll clear my calendar."
"Thanks." He could hear the relief in Jacob's voice. He felt almost guilty for not telling his mate he planned on going anyway. It was more fun to be asked.
"This really means a lot to you, doesn't it?"
"Yeah, Will's been a good friend. I'd like to be there for him, and if his future spouse is unhappy because a model is attending, then he's not going to enjoy his own wedding. Hopefully, you can help squash any speculation."
"Don't worry; once Cash sees us together, he won't be upset any more." When Cash saw the bond between them, he would let his jealousy go.
Guy was still smiling when he entered the conference room. He was going to a wedding with his hot new boyfriend.
The investigation unit he'd pulled together looked at him when he re-entered the room. Guy's fortune had come from investing for hundreds of years, and he used a great deal of that money to run a private investigation and security firm on contract to the Wizard Council. Guy directed hundreds of operatives, and the only reason he was even here to do this particular investigation was because he was the only supervisor currently available. With an outbreak of magical crises lately, all hands had to pitch in. Guy had never been so glad of anything in his life. If he hadn't been investigating the murders, he'd never have met his mate. Fate was playing a heavy hand, and Guy couldn't be happier.
He looked over at his staff. "We need to backtrack and check up on who the models met with in the last few weeks.
