"Ugh, do you have to be such a guy?"

He swung around and dauilty expression on his face, even though he had no reason to feel guilty Daisy gave in to the urge to cut and run when faced with Emma’s sarcastic tone He decided the safest course of action would be to change the subject "Glad you finally decided to joinlate because I know better"

"You reallyYou’d kill as a comedian" When she pulled out the seat next to his revealed by the short skirt she wore This was one of those ti a bitch before his cock snapped to attention

Clearing his throat and trying to focus, he asked, "Soum, why exactly are we here? I think we already covered the fact that you’re dateless for your reunion, and I’ you out of that dilee o ahead and arin, suddenly interested to see where this would go He had to give her credit: She was always inventive If nothing else, he would have a good laugh and a drink before he headed hoht, maybe Daisy the server would be up for some company later When E upset, he started to feel the first trickle of unease What was heher nails as she asked, "Are you sure about that, boss? There is nothing in the world that would convince you to helpat all?"

"No?" Shit, even he heard his statement come out more like a question "Just spit it out, Eoing" Great, now I sound like so next

She continued to stare hi what looked like a calendar out of her purse and plopping it on the table before the it open to theon He had thought she needed a date now, not months ahead She looked up at hith, displaying the picture that had been hidden He felt the blood drain from his face She had the nerve to pat his lifeless hand al, "Ah, now it looks like we are on the sae"

"Wherehow?" he stuttered

"It was quite by accident, I assure you, or so I like to call divine intervention Mr September dated my friend and I ended up with her calendar A chance look through my old yearbook led to this moment"

"You haven’t shown that to anyone, have you?"

Emma smiled at the strain in her usually unflappable boss’s voice Yeah, he was shaken up It was a little surprising because she suspected most men would be proud for a woht hate thehot on the calendar Of course, ht as Brant, which hat she was banking on "Nope, your secret is safe with ht? They help each other out You would do the same for me if I needed you, I’m sure"

Her mouth fell open in shock when he quickly responded, "What I would really love to do is spank your ass until it shines, but I guess I’m fucked"

"I don’t think you’re supposed to say stuff like that to your assistant unless you’re working in a brothel or so"

Brant quirked a brow at her "Since when have we ever been concerned e say to each other? I don’t think you should say stuff to your boss like ‘blow me’ either, but that has never stopped you before"

Eotto need you to accompany me to Pensacola, Florida, for my class reunion in teeks I checked our schedule and, as luck would have it, you have a trip scheduled for Miami in a month I’m confident that we could move that up and kill two birds with one stone We’d fly into Miami, take care of business and then catch a plane up to Pensacola The reunion is on a Saturday night, so we can fly back home on Sunday afternoon and not miss ht into your daily work, you would be an unstoppable force at Danvers"

"You know, it’s funny I seeet a lot acco et ain?’ Stuff like that tends to suck the rin So with her was better than sex That would explain the wood that he sported at the office when she was around for any length of ti to black for hihing over soe for his fraternity either How bad could it be? He would stay at a hotel and she could stay with her fa their travel time and for a few hours at the reunion If she weren’t so damn difficult most of the time, he would have offered to help her out anyway This didn’t have to be a big deal Knowing her, she would book them seats on the plane as far away from each other as possible You had to love how predictable she was soht be able to leave on a trip without having a root canal first, but Emma should have learned by now that she wasn’thours over the past couple of weeks to prepare for being away froht was scheduled for this afternoon and she’d discovered she needed an eency root canal just hours before they left for the airport

The nagging disco on and off for a , at which point she finally broke down and went to her dentist They had scheduled her procedure for today and she had little choice but to keep it She couldn’t risk going out of town and having the pain becoht have bent the truth a bit when she assured the care of her But she had already arranged for a car to pick her up at her apartment and drop her at the airport She knew her ht After they arrived in Mia and sleep in the next day while Brant went to his ht?
