Page 30 of Obeying Mr Kingsley

“Oh my god, did you?Mason is seriously hot.Do not tell my brother I said that,” Catherine points at Emily.“I’ve always thought he was sexy.Not as hot as Zander, but...yeah, do not repeat that to Sebastian either.”

Emily’s mouth falls open and looks like she’s about to say something, then blinks.“We can circle back around to all that.Lexi.What the hell?”

Ugh.

I’m not going to lie.

“Yes.Fine.I did.”I flop back on the sofa.“I know I’m an idiot.It won’t happen again though.”

They both stare at me like I’m a big fat liar.

I’m not.

Mason will never come near me again.I’d put money on that.I can’t speak to my willpower because the man is hot.I’m offended and pissed at him, but I’m a red-blooded woman.

I’d likely tell him to go jump in the lake.

I just can’t guarantee it.

I’m hoping I will meet someone new who will take my mind off my boss.

“Oh, my god.You did.I knew you thought he was hot, but, Lex, he’s your boss.And our best man.”

Catherine and I stare at her.

“Fine.It was different for us.”Emily twirls her glass.

I let it go.

“Yes.I know.Bad move.Stupid me.Past tense.Move on.”I wave my hand.“I walked past a cute firefighter on the way to work this morning.The ass on the guy.Jee-zus.”

Catherine chuckles.

She’s a single mom now after separating from her husband, and I don’t think she’s slept with anyone else yet.

I need to make her my wing-woman.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”Emily looks hurt.

“It only happened last Friday,” I add.“It’s nothing.”

“It’s not nothing.You’re my best friend, and you slept with my future husband’s best friend.”

Well, when you look at it like that, now I feel like a complete fool.I really need her to understand it means nothing.All week I’ve worked hard to be professional and make sure my job is secure.

That’s all that matters.

I need to downplay it with the girls also, seeing as this new little social group of ours is kissing and telling.

It was nothing.

Mason made that abundantly clear, and it’s not like I have fallen in love with that damn frog, so it’s nothing.

Nothing, nothing, nothing.

“Look, both of us have put it behind us since the moment we walked out of the supply closet.”I smile and take a sip of my fizzy water.

“You fucked him in the supply closet!”
