CHAPTER FOUR
Rowan
Julian didn’t have to ask me twice. I jumped at the chance to be around Mila and since the job today felt through, I wasn’t doing anything.
When I pulled into the driveway, I honked the horn before throwing my truck into park and jumping out. Mila ran out the door moments later and seeing her dressed up, my mouth nearly fell open.
I didn’t think she could get any more gorgeous but I guess I was wrong. I held open her door and tried not to stare at her ass as she got in.
“Rowan, hi! Thanks for picking me up. Sorry my brother is a pain. I told him I could drive myself but he wouldn’t hear it.”
“It’s no problem at all. I’m glad I could help.” I shut her door and hurried back to my side and behind the wheel. “Let’s get you a job.” I grinned. “You know…my office is next door to the spa.”
“Is it really?” Mila looked over at me and bit her bottom lip.
Fuck, she makes my dick hard already.
“Yep. Just letting you know.”
We drove the rest of the way with Mila talking a mile a minute. I figured it was nervous energy and enjoyed listening to her ramble on.
When I pulled into the snow covered parking lot, Mila smiled and her cheeks turned pink. “I talked your ear off! I’m sorry, I guess I’m just nervous. I really want this job you know?”
“Don’t apologize. I could listen to you all day. I know Lacey will love you, you’ve got nothing to worry about. I’m going to head into my office to check on a few things. Just come over there when you’re done, okay?”
“Will you walk me to the door?” Mila asked and my heart soared.
“I thought you’d never ask.”
After we parted ways, I waited in my office anxiously. Thankfully the rest of the guys were out doing various jobs and helping with the storm, leaving me alone to pace the floor. They’d know in an instant something was off, after spending years in the service together we could all read each other well, and the last thing I wanted to admit was having it bad for my best friend’s little sister.
But fuck, I couldn’t get this woman out of my head.
About thirty minutes later, I heard the doorbell ring and I rushed to the front door. “Well? How’d it go?” I asked her as I locked the door behind me and led us back to my truck.
“I don’t know…I thought it was going good and then…”
“And then?” I held her door open and she shrugged before getting in.
Once I got back in, I looked over at Mila and she was grinning and clapping. “I got it! I got the job!”
“That’s awesome! You had me fooled there.” I laughed. “I thought I was going to have to go say something to Lacey and I doubt Crew would like that very much.”
Mila leaned back in her seat and let out a deep sigh. “Phew what a relief it is to be employed again.”
“I bet.” I started the engine and the air from the vents was still warm. It felt good on my cold cheeks. “Let’s go get lunch and celebrate. You deserve it.”
Mila turned her head towards me and her intense stare made my dick hard all over again. “You’re too nice to me, Rowan.”
“Nah, not possibly.”
She lifted the middle console piece and slid closer to me on the bench seat. “You are. How do you know I’m not a bad girl? Maybe that’s why Julian doesn’t want me around any of his friends.”
“Ha, you a bad girl? Not possible.”
“How do you know?” She slipped off her gloves and tossed them on the dash. Next went her hat.
“Is it too warm in here? I can turn the heat down.”
“Don’t avoid the question.”
“Because, no sister of Julian’s would be. And in the less than twenty-four hours I’ve known you, my spidey sense tells me you’re a beautiful human being.”
Mila burst into a fit of giggles. “Your spidey sense?”
“Yes. It’s pretty spot on if I do say so myself.”
Mila reached up and ran her fingers through my beard. “I have a different idea of how we can celebrate.”
“Okay. Do tell.”
Mila slipped off her jacket and climbed into my lap. I knew as soon as she straddled me, there was no way she wouldn’t feel the huge bulge between my legs, my cock straining beneath my jeans. “I did some thinking last night…” She said as she rested her hands on my chest and moved her hips against mine.
I swallowed my moan as my dick protested more.
What’s happening right now? This woman is giving me whiplash.
“I thought maybe we could have some fun? In secret?”
“In secret? I don’t know, Mila…Julian’s my best friend. I’d rather be straightforward and honest, let him be pissed and get over it, than sneak behind his back. Won’t that make things worse?”
Her face fell and I instantly wished I could take my words back.
“Yeah, you’re right.” She lifted her leg and began to move off my lap. “But I’m not ready to tell him. I can already hear his mouth.”
I grabbed her waist and held her in place. My conscious and my heart sparred with each other.
I didn’t know what to do.
I stared into her beautiful face.
“Fuck it.” I said and then kissed the ever living shit out of her.
