your calendar were truly free or if you just haven’t put anything in them yet.”
    Often Kai had last minute items he forgot to write down. “Thanks for checking.” Kai pulled up his schedule on his phone. “See if she can do it tomorrow. We can have lunch together if dinner doesn’t work out for her.”
    He hadn’t seen Jeni for a few months. Their busy lives kept them apart more often than together. Even living in the same city it was sometimes difficult to find times to meet. Jeni worked as a party planner and often had odd hours, while Kai worked with several global companies where meetings often lasted late into the night.
    Although Kai loved his sister, he didn’t always understand her life choices. Her taste in men had often been a source of tension between them. Bright, beautiful Jeni always attracted the biggest assholes Kai had ever met. Apparently her latest treasure worked as a mechanic. Not that Kai had any problem with blue-collar men—he’d dated a few himself. However, her description of him dragging her to bars in the shadier parts of town didn’t give Kai a happy image. Jeni thought it all a great adventure.
    Their parents had never confessed, but Kai had his suspicions that she might be an alien transplant.
    After going through their list of items to address, Michelle left to go organise his meetings and write letters of rejection to the companies he’d discarded as not ready.
    Unfortunately, the stack she had left behind contained almost as many files as the stack she’d taken with her. Kai opened another folder, but his mind wasn’t on the papers before him. Memories of Jonathan’s deep voice and rich laughter flitted through his mind. Instead of concentrating on buying power and cost per share, he wondered about what Jonathan’s favourite food was. Did he have any allergies? What did he like to do for fun? Would they be compatible in bed? Was he now getting shot while Kai daydreamed?
    “Here’s the company’s number.” Michelle marched back into the room and set a piece of paper on the desk. Kai saw a neatly printed number on top.
    “Thank you.” His eyes remained glued to the paper even after he had heard the door close, as though by staring at it he could get Jonathan to call. He needed to get his act together. Mooning over a total stranger, no matter how hot, couldn’t continue. Tapping his pen against the desk, he stared at the paper.
    To call or not to call?
    Kai continued to watch the paper as if it would jump up and share its opinion at any moment.
    His phone rang.
    A number flashed across the device. It didn’t have Jonathan’s name, but he definitely remembered it from before.
    “Are you all right?” The words spilled out of his mouth before he could yank them back.
    “Why wouldn’t I be? Sorry I hung up on you.” Jonathan’s voice, low and contrite, warmed him across the connection.
    “I heard gunfire.” He knew his tone had a hard edge, but he’d worried for an entire half-hour.
    “Oh crap, you heard that?” The sound of a car door slamming came over the line. “Sorry. We were meeting with a new client at his property. I had some downtime while Patrick was talking to him so I thought I’d call you. The idiot pulled out his gun to show Patrick and damn near shot his foot off. Luckily he missed, but I had to go check and see if he needed an ambulance.”
    Relief swirled through Kai almost making him lightheaded. “I can’t tell you how relieved I am to hear it wasn’t anything life-threatening.”
    “I’m really sorry about that, Kai.” The way Jonathan said his name in a soft, almost worshipful tone turned Kai’s cock hard enough he hoped he wouldn’t tear his tailored pants. He’d definitely have them made a little looser in the future.
    Kai sighed. “That’s all right. I’m glad you called and set me straight. I was going to call your work and check up on you, but you called me first.”
    “You were going to call my work?”
