Chapter 34
~~ MICHAEL ~~
Standing outside the garage with Lily’s hand in mine, I faced Sebastian, who had interrupted a very heated moment. Two seconds later and I would have given in to Lily’s demand to touch me. Hell, her words about my cock very nearly had me bursting my jeans open, so I wouldn’t come in them. She was a hot little thing with a sassy mouth, something I hadn’t expected.
I adjusted myself and looked at Sebastian, who was still laughing with Lily.
“Okay, fun’s over. Sebastian, what was the emergency?”
“Sorry, it wasn’t that urgent. Didn’t really think you’d get up to anything out here,” he said and chuckled. “You know, I think this has been the best day I’ve had for a while, and you brother,” he pointed his finger at me, “are never going to live this down. Making out in the barn with the hottest chick here is not right. That’s usually my job.”
“You stay away from her.”
“Cool it brother. You’d have to be an idiot to think she has eyes for anyone but you. Besides, I don’t want a black eye. It would ruin this perfection,” he said and moved his face from side to side.
“I think I really like your brothers, Michael.” Lily looked up at me, leaned in and gave me a quick kiss. “I’m going to say hello to Sylvia and rescue Ramon. Are you sure she’s old enough to work? She looks like jailbait?”
Sebastian snickered when he heard Lily’s comment.
“I had Dale personally check out her papers before we offered her the job. She likes to talk, but she’s damn good at her job.” I turned to Sebastian. “You keep your pants zipped around her.”
He choked on a gulp of beer. Served him right.
Lily walked away laughing.
I watched her sway that sexy ass of hers as she walked away, the rest of her was just as hot. I still had the taste of her on my tongue and my jeans had started to feel uncomfortable again.
“Lily is one hot babe.” Until Sebastian had opened his mouth, I’d forgotten he was standing with me.
I scowled at him. “Okay, there wasn’t an emergency, but you obviously wanted something.”
“Yeah, I did. Jacky, the office shark, was looking for you. I don’t think she had talking on her mind.”
“Hell, this is your fault for thinking with your dick when you hired her,” I told him. I’d been pissed as hell when I’d returned from a meeting only to find I had a new employee, who only wanted in my pants. She hadn’t been successful and turned out to be a bloody nuisance. “You had the hots for her, you go and entertain her.”
“Like hell. She probably eats cocks for breakfast.”
I roared with laughter. I could always rely on Sebastian to be blunt and to the point with few words. Unless he actually wanted to get into someone’s panties, then he was all charm and the perfect gentleman.
“Michael, there you are.”
Shit. I turned around and Jacky was standing not six feet away in the shortest dress I’d ever seen in mile-high shoes. I heard Sebastian in the background laughing as he walked away, leaving me to it.
“Jacky, you shouldn’t be back here. Let’s go and join everyone.”
“What a good idea.” She walked up to me and threaded her arm through mine then snuggled in close. Christ, I hope Lily didn’t see this and misunderstand.
“Why don’t you like me?” Jacky asked, and I really wished she hadn’t.
“Jacky, you seem like a nice woman, but I’m your boss and that’s all.” I tried to be diplomatic, but she needed to be told.
“What about your brothers?”
I laughed. There really was nothing else for it. “Jacky, there are a lot of guys out there, please find one of them.”
“You’re sweet. I’ll see you later.” She walked off towards the alcohol tent and as I watched her go, I caught site of Lily in deep conversation with Lucien on the back steps. My first instinct was to go and find out what they were talking about, but I needed to learn to trust Lily. I took a deep breath and walked in the opposite direction towards the barn which had been cleaned out for dancing.
As soon as I walked in, the first person I saw was David. He was in a corner with his hands up Lucy’s skirt and in her panties. I really hoped Lily didn’t catch a glimpse of him like that. She already knew he was having an affair with her, but she didn’t need it thrown in her face.
It was killing me knowing Lily was outside, sitting, talking to Lucien. I just wanted to be there with her. To know what he was saying.
In truth, Lucien was in need of a friend, someone to talk to, because god knew he wouldn’t talk to me or our other brothers. I knew deep down that I could trust Lily, but after what Viv had done, it was difficult.
