pissed that he called me poor. And the only way he could know that is if you
told him where I come from.”
“I didn’t tell him,” she replies, hiccuping. “Jarred did. I would have never told
him you don’t come from money, and I told him he shouldn’t have done that.
I’m sorry for giving Drew your number,especially without asking,but I thought
I was doing you a favor.”
“Why? Because I don’t get laid as often you do?” My voice is angrier than I
intend and Quinn flinches.
“I just… I just…” she stutters. “I’m just tired of seeing you alone, Cass. You
don’t think I see the way you look at couples when we pass them on the street,
but I do. You want that, and you’ve been so caught up with work that you never
take the time to meet people. I thought it would be good idea to see if you and
Drew have a connection. But I see now that he’s not worth it. You deserve so
much more.”
Looking at Quinn, and how this has clearly upset her, I can’t be angry.
It doesn’t mean I’m happy about what she did, but it means that she gets away
with more than anyone in my life because she’s my best friend, and pretty
much the only real family I have. I smile inside, knowing that she really does
want the best for me and her heart was in the right place. Her observations
aren’t far off though, and I’m beginning to see what it is she’s talking about.
“You can’t play matchmaker, Quinny.”
“I know,”she sniffles again.“And I’m sorry. I just want you to be happy, and find
someone who will love you, and treat you the way you deserve to be treated.”
I stand up and walk over to her, pulling her into a hug. “It’s fine, I get it. But
promise me you won’t do it again, please?”
With a weak smile she nods. “Promise.”

After the first night Cassey and I work on her presentation, we settle into a
routine and work late most nights of the week. I wasn’t sure what to expect,
but after the firs night I understood why my father feels she has a bright future
here at Knight Media. She’s intelligent, and while I shouldn’t be thinking of
her in any other way other than professionally, I can’t help being attracted to
her and her smarts. It’s rare to find the full package, but she’s it. Gorgeous and
smart with a spitfire attitude.Three very dangerously sexy qualities in a woman.
Before I know it, a week passes, and it’s the night before her presentation. She’s
sitting in my office, looking sexy as fuck in a tight black skirt and dark blue top
that makes her tits look bigger. It’s a little difficult to concentrate on anything
else with her looking like that. My phone vibrates in my pocket an I force myself to drag my gaze away from Cassey, and check who’s contacting me.
It’s a text from Jessa. I’ve been avoiding her, or rather ditching her, for the last
few nights so that I can work with Cassey. And now she’s pissed.
Am I going to see you tonight baby? I miss you…
Even her text message is whiney. Sighing, I type out my response.
Working late. Will call you tomorrow.
My phone vibrates again before I can slip it back into my pocket.
Are you being serious? I haven’t seen you in over a week Kyler.
I ignore it and slip my phone into my pocket. I’m not in the mood to talk to
her, especially not about this. I haven’t seen her since the first night Cassey and
I worked late, and my right hand is starting to cramp from all the times I’ve
had to jack off this week. Usually I’m happy to have Jessa on speed dial to help
relieve some sexual frustrations, but something about it seems unappealing
now. And I have no doubt it’s because every sexual fantasy I’ve had lately has
involved me, my desk and Cassey.
I lean against my desk and watch Cassey on the other side of the room. She’s
staring at her laptop, her nose is scrunched and she’s biting her pencil. I can almost hear her thinking from here. She looks fucking sexy
