Chapter Six
âThis afternoon was crazy,â Echo remarks from behind the bathroom door.
I glance at my watch. Ten after five. Weâre late. Typical Echo. She drives my inner taskmaster insane, but her tardiness is a quirk Iâm used to. Sometimes, itâs almost cuteâ¦just not when Iâm hoping to get some face-time with the big boss. Since heâs based in New York, not the West Coast, my chances to schmooze him are limited.
But Echo has this way about her⦠Itâs almost impossible to stay angry. I always end up forgiving her. The universe does, too, because it frequently rewards her gentle bending of the rules with something fabulously serendipitous.
Taking a deep breath, I force myself to relax. Weâll get to the mixer. Itâs not like Iâm eager for the actual event. These things are boring, full of windbags, and seem to last forever.
âInsane,â I answer through the door. âWhat are the odds of Xavian being related to that inn keeperâs husband and having so much family?â
âRight? But I have a good feeling about it. X needs relatives he can count on, and Eryn swears the Reeds are solid.â
âPlus, with Noah Weston for a brother-in-law, heâll always be popular with the jocks in the office.â
âUmâ¦is that Noah guy a big deal?â
I laugh. Echo has never been into watching sports. Sheâd rather participate. âHuge. Probably one of the top five pro quarterbacks of all time.â
âOh. Well, Iâm just happy that the family seems willing to make room for him.â
âOne hundred percent.â I glance at my watch again. Now weâre fifteen minutes late. It will still take at least another five to walk to the ballroom. Iâm getting antsy.
As if she can read my mind, Echo laughs. âYouâre about to pace, arenât you? Iâm almost ready.â
From the other side of the door, I hear clothing rustle. Thatâs all it takes for my subversive imagination to melt thoughts of business from my brain and start feeding me visions of Echo. I picture her sliding on a lacy bra that cups her full breastsâwhich Iâm ashamed to say I want to touchâand matching underwear that shields her innocent pussy. Mentally, I examine every curve, just like I did when she wore that barely legal bikini. But now itâs betterâ¦and worse. In this vision, I can see through everything.
Lust jolts me. I curl my hands into fists to restrain myself from marching into the bathroom, pressing her against the nearest flat surface, and stripping off whatever she just put on.
If simply imagining her in next to nothing is making you crazy, what will the real thing do?
Deep breaths. I need to slow my roll. I canât be this hot for Echo. Iâm not having sex with my best friend.
When she pushes the bathroom door open, my mental pep talk goes out the window. Her dress is a transparent lacy shift in creamy white with a sheath underneath thatâs the same color as her skin. The effect, along with the plunging neckline and short skirt, leaves her looking hazardously close to naked.
