Page 54 of Unscripted Love

Kyle smiled as I approached then gave me a short, affectionate kiss on the lips once I arrived. “You just don’t let up, do you, Dr. Heart Snatcher?”

“Um, I meant to ask you something last night, and I got a little sidetracked.” He looked down at my mouth like he remembered the way it felt when I slid my lips up and down his cock.

“I’m sorry,” I said. I wasn’t sorry at all.

“No you’re not nor should you be,” Kyle replied. “Um, I hope you don’t have plans on Sunday morning because I sorta told my mom we’d be over for brunch so you could meet the family. I should never have told her we’d be there without talking to you first, but I didn’t want her barging in on us last night.”

“I would love to meet your family,” I said sincerely. I was freaking out a little on the inside, but I’d be damned before I let it show.

“Seriously? You’re not angry?” His obvious relief was so cute.

“Not at all.”

“Okay,” he said then kissed me once more. “I better get going. I’ll call you later.”

“Okay then.”

I smiled sappily as he walked out the door with a cute little wave. I turned my attention back to the interview that was supposed to be in progress, but Josh, Mere, and Dare were all watching me instead of talking. Mere batted her eyelashes adorably, Josh blew kissy faces, and Dare let out a sharp whistle. He was going to fit in great around here.

“Aw, you guys,” I said, skipping back to the trio. “How’s the interview going?”

“I think we’re about done unless you have questions for us,” Josh said.

“What?” Dare asked in alarm. “You didn’t ask me any questions or request to see my references. Did I screw up?”

“Honey,” Mere said. “You already made a good impression on Josh when he saw you in action.”

“And you already have the key component to fitting in around here,” I told Dare.

“Which is?” he asked hesitantly.

“Sass,” I told him. “It’s a must around here.”

“Dare, what they’re trying to tell you is that we’d like you to come work with us,” Josh said.

“Seriously?” he asked.

“Seriously,” we answered.

Mere’s client showed up a bit early, so Josh and I went over hours, wages, and job duties with him.

“I will start as soon as you need me,” Dare said excitedly.

“How about tomorrow?” I asked. I wanted to start training him as soon as possible.

“Perfect. I’ll be here at nine.” Dare stood up and looked uncertain whether he should hug us or shake our hands.

“We’re huggers,” Josh said, pulling him into an embrace. “Welcome to the team.”

“Well,” I said, turning to Josh once Dare left. “That one was easy. I hope that’s a sign of something good to come.”

We continued to interview receptionist candidates for backup in case Dare didn’t work out. I had hoped that the stylist interviews would’ve gone as well, but we weren’t so lucky. The first three candidates were either flighty, arrogant, or had zero personality. We only had one left to interview, and he wasn’t due to arrive until almost closing time. Josh had lost a little bit of his sparkle from hiring Dare that morning, and I hoped the final interviewee would give it back to him. Josh wanted to make sure his first love would be in good hands when he took the time he needed to be with his growing family.

“What’s the guy’s name again?” I had asked thirty minutes before he was due to arrive.

“Wren, like the bird,” Josh replied. “Out of all the candidates, he’s the most skilled.”

“But?”
