Teasing Jonathan Read Online Free PDF Page B

prohibited from personal relationships with people seeking funds. Kai wondered if Nelson had forgotten that particular rule. He wouldn’t put it past him. Nelson often acted as if rules were for other people.
    He’d let Nelson finish his pitch, but he’d made no promises. They all knew Kai wouldn’t commit to anything until he had the information he requested written out before him. Doing business on anyone’s promises led to poor decisions. Kai hadn’t survived this long by ignoring his hunches.
    At least the food had been good.
    He’d taken them to Trio and the chef’s special had been a seafood penne, giving the interminably long meeting at least one bright spot. It had also made him feel a bit closer to Jonathan.
    Damn, he had it bad.
    After closing and locking the door behind him, Kai stumbled the few steps to his living room then collapsed on the couch. The soft surface wrapped around him, reminding him why he’d bought the soft microfibre cover instead of the hard leather his interior decorator had picked out. He preferred comfort to class. It might be time to make the same choice in men too. He’d already taken out all the sleek fashion models only to be disappointed in the end. Now he’d find out if a more down to earth man might suit him better.
    His cock hardened at the memory of Jonathan’s strong body. He bet Jonathan had to have his suits custom made to get them to fit over his muscular arms.
    Mmm.
    Kai leaned his head back and closed his eyes. He’d just rest for a moment before he wandered off to bed. Instinctively, he rubbed the placket of his trousers as he thought of stripping Jonathan naked.
    A loud knocking at his front door made him freeze.
    Kai’s erection deflated at the startling interruption.
    “Who’d be visiting this late?” Kai asked his empty living room. Unsurprisingly, neither the couch nor the walls gave him an answer. It must be someone from the building or security would’ve informed him of a visitor.
    Kai groaned as he stood and his right knee popped. He’d sustained an injury skiing several years ago and the joint still gave him problems from time to time. Chasing a younger man might not be his brightest idea, but he still couldn’t get Jonathan out of his mind.
    When he got to the door, the person he spotted through the peephole had him unlocking then yanking the door open.
    “Jeni?” No wonder security hadn’t called. Jeni had her own security pass.
    “Kai!” His sister threw her arms around him and hugged him tight. “I’m so glad you’re home.”
    She sobbed against his shoulder, the noise loud in Kai’s ears. He awkwardly patted her back while her tears soaked through his shirt.
    “What happened?” He knew he shouldn’t ask. She would tell him, even though he could pretty much predict the answer. All her relationships ended the same way. First, a break-up, then tears before ending with Jeni getting in trouble for applying a baseball bat to her ex’s vehicle. At least this time he hadn’t received a phone call from the police station, so he considered it a good separation.
    Pulling back a bit, he scooted her to one side to grab her luggage. Luckily the enormous bag had wheels. Jeni stepped back and scooped up the smaller bag, still sniffling.
    “What happened with the mechanic?” he asked, bracing himself for the answer. With Jeni it could be anything.
    “He wanted me to give him money.” Jeni wiped her eyes with the palms of her hands as she had done as a little girl.
    Kai’s heart melted a little as happier memories crowded out the present.
    “Bastard,” Kai muttered supportively.
    Jeni sniffed. “I told him I didn’t have any. All my money goes back into my company, you know that!”
    Kai nodded. His sister’s company was only three years old and she was just now starting to see a profit. He had helped her out with a private loan when she had needed money for the start-up. She’d just finished paying him back a few months ago.
    “What did
