What the hell?"Who slapped who?"

"Does it matter?" He was still grinning. "Man, I would've loved to seethat."

Not me.

Not with Cami involved.

Under my breath, I said, "That makesoneof us."

Chase reached up to stroke his chin. "That Cami, she's pretty hot, huh?"

I felt my body go rigid. "What?"

"I'm just saying, she's got that girl-next-door look."

I'd noticed.But the fact that Chase had noticed, too, well, I didn't like it. I said, "How wouldyouknow?"

"I met her at the coffee shop."

I stared across the desk.So she'd had coffee with my brother?

And no one had thought to mention it?

In a tight voice, I asked, "And when was this?"

"A couple days ago." Again, Chase leaned forward. "So, she's a real spitfire, huh?"

Cami the Nanny?She wassomething. I just didn't know what.

I told Chase, "She's the nanny, not a notch in your bedpost."

"Well, not yet."

I felt my fingers tighten into fists. "Look, you've fucked two already. Isn't that enough?"

"Hey, don’t blameme," he laughed. "Theyoffered."

Cami wouldn't offer.

Would she?

No.

And yet, I silently asked myself, "What if she did?"

The thought bothered me more than it should've. Andthatbothered me, too.

Fuck.These days, everything bothered me. And the lack of sleep wasn't helping.

I stood. "Are we done?"

Chase remained sitting. "Why? You in a hurry?"

Oh, yeah.

I wasnow.

I needed answers, and I knew just where to get them. And it wasn't here at the office.
