Well… kind of There is a man I’m interested in, but he’s off-limits Like way off-limits

Walking back to the dressing rooer before putting on loss, then force a smile around my mouth

Tiet back to the office

I thank the designer and walk out to my car On the drive back to Indie Ink, the corandfather, I push my elusive dream deep down and slip into the role of Danny, the powerhouse businesswoman

That’s what hter Loyal friend Supportive sister Kickass businesswoman

Letting out a sigh, I park nated spot I cli my shoulders, I walk to the elevator Once inside, I press the button for the top floor and listen to the softout, I walk to my office

“How did the fitting go?” Dash, my sister-in-law to be, asks before I can pass by her office

Seous and ready for your big day”

Dash claps her hands “Just six more weeks”

“It’s going to be a the door, I lean back against it I close my eyes and take a deep breath

“You look tired,” Ryker suddenly says

My eyes snap open, and seeing hiles rush over my skin

Faking a scowl, I say, “Give me a heart attack next ti “Get out of my chair”

He grins atin the chair like a kid “I’o over all the files we need to take with us for the ” His eyes lock with mine “You know… for the trip to Africa…” His mouth curves into a sexy smirk “Where it will just be the two of us”

It’s like there’s a constant push and pull between us I doas I’m six years older than him Technically, I’m six and a half years older than him The point is he’s off-lis for him

I stop next to the chair and let out a sigh “I have last-minute business to take care of We can look at the files later Move”

Ryker gets up, and rising to his full height, I have to tilt my head back to keep eye contact with him With dark brown hair, warm brown eyes, and a face carved froedly handsome

And off-limits Like the forbidden fruit reincarnated into a hot-as-hellshit out of me

Actually, I started feeling the attraction between us when Ryker was a senior in high school Yeah, totally madeover Tristan’s best friend But dahteen, Ryker didn’t look like any other senior I’ve ever seen He’s always been way too attractive for my ovaries to handle
