her because she was good with her mouth. Speaking of mouths…
My mind instantly wanders to the look Rebecca had when her eyes drifted toward the bulge in my pants on her first day on the job. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t already pictured Gellar’s lips wrapped around my cock. Those lips. They’re similar to the top half of a heart. Perfectly molded into two sultry plumps just waiting to be bitten and teased into submission. If only Rebecca didn’t drive me bonkers with her fiery spirit. I can’t believe she’d accepted the invitation to the event for Lit For Kids. While I wholeheartedly support the charity and their mission, I don’t even want to think about how hard it’s going to be to be around people who used to know my brother. It’s grueling enough just having to deal with the people at work.
But now, I have no choice. I can’t back out of the event. It would be rude and it wouldn’t look well for the company. I think father would say the positive publicity from the event would help counterbalance some of the recent negativity. People want to know that businesses still care about people. That’s a legacy I can say I proudly want to be a part of.
An e-mail notification pops up at the top of my inbox, pulling me from my distracted thoughts. I cringe at the sight of the name of Katherine Brown, Executive Director at Lit For Kids. I haven’t spoken to her in years. Every year she tries to convince me to attend their donor appreciation event. Most of the time I don’t even reply to her e-mails or her invites through the mail, so I’m surprised it took her this long to send me a message. In fact, I haven’t received any phone calls from her since Rebecca accepted the invite. Perhaps my she-devil of an assistant figured out that taking messages might help her keep her job.

Reply: Thank you
Nick,
I’m so happy to hear that you’ll be attending our event. We’ve reserved a front table for you and any guests you may like to bring. It’ll be nice to see you after so long. It’s really been too many years.
Love,
Katherine
It has been too many years, and yet the pain of losing Alex is still fresh. I’m starting to think that this night might be easier with some company than flying solo. Maybe I should ask Tristan to go with me. I haven’t talked to him much because he’s been so busy with planning the opening of his art exhibit. I pull out my phone and dial his number. To my surprise, he picks up on the first ring.
“Tristan speaking.”
“Hey, it’s Nick. I was calling to see if you have plans for next Thursday? I’m attending a charity event and I need a wingman.” In the background of the call, I hear what sounds like general noise from a city street.
“Are you asking me on a date, Mr. StoneHaven?” he asks, mocking me.
“No, asshole, I’m asking you to do me a favor.”
“You know I would do anything for you, but I have plans next Thursday.”
“Plans? Doing what?” It takes Tristan a moment to answer. I check my phone to see if he’s hung up, but his name still flashes at the top of my screen. That’s weird.
“Hello?” I ask.
“Sorry, I, uh, well I’m going out…”
“Out? Like on a date?” I ask, confused.
“Yes.”
“So, who is she?” I ask curiously. Tristan usually doesn’t hold information back. He doesn’t shove his conquests in my face, but I know he gets his fair share of beautiful women. And I’ve seen the way women look at him.
“It’s complicated, and probably a conversation for another time. I’m sorry I can’t go with you. Let’s have drinks soon.” And with that Tristan hangs up, leaving me confused as fuck. What is he hiding? I re-dial Tristan’s number, but this time it goes straight to voicemail. Alright…well, I guess that means I’m going to this event alone. Alison would probably love to go with me, but I have absolutely no desire to entertain her all
