“As your lover, Olivia.”

“What?” Her eyes slide over my face.

“Introduce me to your boss as your lover.”

A blush sweeps over her cheeks. “Are you?”

“We established that the other night when I fucked you raw.” I run the tip of my nose over her cheek. “I’ll remind you again tonight.”

She turns to me, her lips hovering just over mine. “I welcome the reminder.”

A tap on my shoulder lures my gaze back to catch Jack standing behind me. “Get to the front of the restaurant. Gabriel and Isla are waiting to toast you.”

I nod abruptly before turning my attention back to Olivia.

She raises her glass in the air. “Here’s to gentle reminders.”

I move to rest my lips next to her ear. “Who said anything about it being gentle?”

She gasps; I kiss her softly and leave her with a promise of what’s to come.

Chapter 33

Olivia

It’s been more than an hour-and-a-half since I left Axel NY.

Alexander kissed me goodbye after he told me that he’d meet me at my apartment as soon as the last guest had cleared out of the restaurant.

I texted him thirty minutes ago to see if he’d be on his way soon, but I haven’t gotten a response.

A faint knock at my door draws me to my feet. I’ve been camped out on my sofa watching Netflix since I got home.

I changed into my favorite black bra and panty set. I covered that with the black silk robe I treated myself with for my birthday.

I want to wow Alexander.

Tugging on the sash of the robe, it falls open to reveal my lingerie. I smooth a hand over my hair, run a finger over my bottom lip and swing the door open.

“Holy hotness, baby.”

I roll my eyes at Kate. “It’s you.”

“I take it you were expecting someone else.” Her brows perk. “Alexander Donato perhaps?”

I yank her hand to pull her into my apartment before I shut the door. “He’s supposed to come over.”

She watches as I tie the sash on my robe into a knot. “I’m not staying long. I stopped by to give you something.”

“What?” I follow her movements as her hand dives into the large red leather tote that’s slung over her shoulder.

She yanks out a book. “I got an advanced copy of the new Nicholas Wolf novel.”

I crane my neck so I can get a better look at the cover. “You did not.”

She holds the book up to give me the perfect view. “I did. Tilly got it for me.”

I know that her friend, Tilly, is married to Sebastian Wolf, Nicholas’s older brother. I didn’t realize that Kate’s friendship with her included a perk like this.
