They’ve grown closer over the last feeeks Since selling the North Carolina branch, I’ve had a lot of my time freed up I have a few more people here, and taken a step back to a less active roll Chelcie, having her ti Asher whenever possible I’ve promised Beck that I won’t stick my nose in their business, so I can only hope she knohat she’s doing, and pray she doesn’t get hurt in the end

Coop being gone is so that we notice more and more every day It’s hard to fill the void that a personality as strong as his used to fill I know for a fact, that as long as I live, there will never be another person like Zeke Cooper The guys have had a photo of Coop in all his big grinning glory framed and it is one of the main focal points when you walk into Corps Security It’s pure Coop… big, s from his beautiful blue eyes Underneath the picture, a siuarantee; live life to the fullest and never stop s’ He was taken froetically full, and I know so over each one of us

The only part of the last six weeks that’s unsettled is E bad, but she’s also running I ree went down, and he explained to me why he wasn’t ho from her position at Corps Security, effective i, but did say that it was just too hard to stay, knowing that Coop was dead because he took a bullet uilt and blaone to the office to send Maddox the location her GPS was picking up Much todevice on her car al with one in her purse, and he keeps her phone tracked After explaining all of that toa leave of absence to ‘gether home’ Yeah, I was beyond shocked that Maddox openly clai akened inside of Maddox The last call Beck got fro her ho that, regardless of what happens, they have a climb ahead of theo, I have no doubt that the deet her ho that E tells ine

I pull into the parking lot of the complex where my office, Corps Security, and Sway’s salon are all located My door is a good four businesses down froht next to Sway’s

After Coop’s funeral, I helped Sway extend the sidewalk of gold glitter, to extend all the way down to my door I wanted a piece of that when I went to work It’s silly, gaudy, and so The other business owners love it, but then again, it’s really hard not to love anything that Sway does

I have just stepped out of the car when I notice Sway through theof his salon He’s waving like he norh to et to the sidewalk, he’s already thrown the door to the salon open and is bouncing on his purple four-inch heels in anticipation I love this oing to let me have at your marvelous shoe collection! I must have those two-toned Chanel knot-shaped pumps! Don’t think I didn’t notice the without Sway, and oh, my little diva, that is just not okay!" He pauses, I’ "And that outfit! Spin, spin!" He brings one of his large hands off his hips long enough to spin his finger in a circle "You have the perfect outfit Oh Darlin’, it is to die for! I could just take a bite out of your booty You ht I look daain, I chose this outfit for ht pink color looks ah, covering just enough leg that Beck won’t flip his shit, but leaving the rest of s; he’s never shy about re e style dress is as skintight as possible without looking trashy, hugs ure, and pushes my breasts up The bust is a weave of black and pink lines that er Two straps hug my shoulders and wrap around the top of my biceps I’ve finished the look with h, and twirl until Sway stops rin on his face "You are so to seduce that fine hunk of yours Don’t think I don’t know this Good Lord was he looking edible today Walking sex, I’ash because he isn’t wrong Beck is that good-looking "Shat did I tell you about fantasizing about my man?"

He cocks his hip to the side, tosses his blond hair over his shoulder, and rolls his eyes "Then you should put a bag over his head" He pauses and see oing to need to start stuffing his clothes… ood and thick, so no one will look at hi I wraphim back

"You’re a ainst his silk blouse and enjoy the moment Sway can be a bit old

He pulls back and his face gets serious for a second He looks both ways beforeme to lean closer "Have you seen him yet?"

"Have I seen who? Beck?" I honestly have no clue who he is talking about I know Axel, Greg, and Beck are in today Asher is at the house working from Beck’s office, and Maddox is still… well, Maddox isn’t here I take a second to really look at Sway and notice the excitement written all over his face Good Lord, he looks like he’s about to pop

He leans in,brown hair off awd! My senses tell me there is finally hope for one of those boys My team, Dee Do you hear me? This one is all over tea’, he ht as well have just yelled that out loud

I pull back and look at hiuy Last I heard fro to hire a temp to take Eot uess I’ll find out soon"

He doesn’t even give me a chance He opens the door to his Salon and yells to Brandy, the adorable pixie like receptionist, that he’s going next door to ogle the hunks She laughs, clearly used to this from Sway, and waves hi with ether, and all but pulls lass is tinted so we can’t see in, but that doesn’t stop Sway fro his excite to jerk ht off my body"

He doesn’t respond, but the second I open the door, he rushes in, pulling me with him

I smile at Coop’s portrait before my eyes sweep over to E her sweet voice over the years that the very uard When I look over and see just what has Sway in knots, I can almost understand his ridiculous behavior
