used to only seeing that in art
galleries.”
Eric frowned. “Why am I thinking the word gay is omitted from that statement?” he
asked playfully. He noted the look of horror that crossed Lilavanti’s face
while Barry gave him a murderous glare. “That’s neither here nor there,” he
said to his assistant. With practiced ease, he ushered her into the office
while moving Barry almost out of the door. “Barry was just leaving and I’m
going to escort him to the elevator. I’ll be right back.”
Lilavanti nodded as she continued to blush as she looked at
Barry. For some reason he was still staring at her. “It was nice to meet you,”
she called as Eric quickly moved him into the reception area.
Before Barry could reply, Eric closed the door between them.
“What the hell?” Barry exclaimed.
Eric could only stand still as he stared his brother down.
“Don’t you dare,” he hissed. Barry opened his mouth to respond, but Eric beat
him to it. “She’s new to the office. As you can see, she’s a sweetheart, and
not your type.”
“My type?”
“I will not let you fuck her and leave her. She’s too
fragile for that. I will skin you alive if you bring another sexual harassment
case to my door,” Eric said in a hiss.
Barry was completely insulted. “I am not that bad.”
Eric snorted in disbelief. “Shall I put them in alphabetical
order, height, or the rating you and Jimmy used?” When Barry stayed silent Eric
started to count off his fingers. “Alphabetical it is. Anna, Amy, Bethany,
Britney, Clarice, Diana, Dirty Diana,
Elena, Elizabeth, Erin, Flora, Jennifer, Jessimin , Kacy , Kimberly, Lee, Linda, Liz, Lola, Mindy, Minnie, Nico ….”
Barry had to admit it. He was impressed. “How the hell do
you remember all of those names?” As much as he hated to admit it he couldn’t
even remember more than 5 names at a time.
“Stay away from my secretary,” Eric said with a final poke
to Barry’s chest. “Or else.”
As cliché as it was, he couldn’t pass it up. “Or else what?”
Eric gave Barry a dangerous smile. “Or I’ll tell Sloane and
Dylan that you were the one that
Worked Dad’s car into that lawn sculpture they got in trouble for.”
Barry’s eyes narrowed. Eric knew all the dirt in their
family, and his brother was never above blackmail to get his way. “This isn’t
over,” he said before walking over to the elevator.
Eric knew by the faint sound of his office door closing,
Lilavanti had just eavesdropped on their entire conversation. Hopefully, she
wouldn’t be dumb enough to fall for Barry’s charm. His eyes then caught sight
of the picture on her desk. Instead of her family, it was of her cat. Eric’s
shoulders fell. If Barry set his sights on Lilavanti, she was doomed.
Chapter 6-
Troy frowned as he followed Madison into the house. He
hadn’t seen or heard their sons and for some reason, that made him worry. “It’s
quiet.”
Madison glanced over her shoulder and squeezed his hand.
“This is a pretty big estate and there were four Vampires here last night,” she
laughed. “I’m actually surprised that Dylan didn’t bring out an overnight bag.”
Troy noted the blanket she wore as a skirt. “I like looking
at your legs,” he commented. As she rolled her eyes, he pulled her back into
his arms. “The rest of you is okay too,” he added
before nipping her ear.
She laughed as she gently pushed him away. “Sweet-talker.” She took his hand again. It was like she
needed to have some sort of contact with him. “The boys are probably down by
the gate. For some reason they like getting the paper.” She shook her head.
“It’s like a game for them.”
Troy nodded. “See who can get there, grab it, and get back
to the house.” He didn’t release her hand as she started for the stairs to the
upper floor. “Madison,” he said tugging lightly on her hand.
Brown eyes met with gold. For a moment Madison found herself
completely speechless. She
