as it was. Not to mention she’d seen a photo of him and her in the paper at some swanky charity thing.
    “Have you talked to her father about those deposits?” she asked.
    “I left him a message. Once I hear back from him, I’ll know where to go from there.”
    “Hopefully, he can tell you where all that money came from since you’re supposed to be the one handling his accounts. I don’t get how someone can buy a company with capital that wasn’t there. Where did it come from?”
    “Don’t worry about that stuff, I’ll figure it out.”
    She waved him out of the office, hating that he was leaving, but she took a breath and slipped her heels off. Time to relax.
    She picked up the phone and dialed her sister-in-law, Shani. Her brother’s wife had invited her for dinner and she was taking her up on it. First, because Scarlett loved Shani’s cooking. Second, because she was dying to hold her newest nephew, Max.
    “Hello, darling!” Shani answered. The sound of kids laughing in the background made it hard to hear her.
    “I’m coming. Be there in half an hour.”
    “Wonderful. I made your favorite. Nick is off protecting some movie star so we won’t be eating with him tonight.”
    Scarlett’s brother owned a security company. Thankfully, Shani was incredibly understanding that her husband was constantly protecting some rich guy or another. Scarlett was happy to help Shani with the kids when Nick wasn’t around.
    She went into Knox’s office to put a file on his desk and the scent of him made her lioness crazy.
    She went around his desk and sat on his chair. Pressing her body into the cushion, she inhaled hard. Fuck, it smelled just like him. He’d left a handkerchief on his desk. It was folded neatly into a square with his initials embroidered on a corner.
    Her body throbbed and she couldn’t get the image of him in the fucking bow tie and his sexy eyes looking at her out of her mind. She needed to get laid. Fast.

    Knox sat in his car waiting for Lisa to show up at the restaurant. She was always late. He should just end things with her, but every time he mentioned dating other people, she started the waterworks, and he had no idea how to shut it up other than to tell her to forget it.
    His cell phone chirped. An alarm that someone was in his office blinked to life. A few key strokes and he was accessing the remote camera he’d installed in his office. Since he was working with Lisa’s father’s accounts and buying a new company, he’d been specific about security. He’d taken extra measures to ensure his locked up paperwork wasn’t tampered with.
    The camera gave a clear image of his desk. His cock went hard as he watched Scarlett, his sexy as hell assistant, sit in his chair. He glanced around the dark parking lot. His was the only car there. Most people parked in areas closer to the main road, but he liked not worrying about someone scratching his Bugatti.
    The car was his one gift to himself. There had been no reason for it, either. He’d just gone out one day and bought it. His gaze went back to Scarlett in his chair.
    She leaned back and lifted her legs, her skirt falling to either side of her hips. He straightened in his seat. What was she doing?
    When his friend Nick had asked him to give his little sister a job, Knox hadn’t expected Scarlett. Hell, in all the years he’d known the lion, he’d never met Nick’s sister. Then they’d had dinner at Nick’s place, and Knox had never been the same again.
    On her first day at the job, his tongue almost fell out of his mouth when she walked in the door.
    Her gorgeous peachy skin alone caught his attention. But the full package? Those curves, the tattoos, and the long black curls made his dick hard enough to hammer nails. When she spoke, her soft throaty voice did him in. He’d actually gone to the bathroom to jerk off just thinking of her voice.
    He’d been disgusted with himself. This was Nick’s little sister. Though
