caught her nibbling on her bottom lip and he literally had to stop himself from grabbing her and tasting it for himself. Sebastian would sit at his desk for hours trying to concentrate on his work when all he could think about was stripping Chastity’s clothes off, one article at a time—tasting every delectable inch of her.
Tossing his pen aside, he stood up in frustration. It was already past twelve. He might as well grab something to eat since he wasn’t getting any work done. On his way out of the office he knew he’d pass by Chastity’s desk.
His plan to keep walking without looking her way went down the tubes when he spied Jeremy leaning over her desk. Chastity gave his friend the big smile she used to give him. Her eyes twinkled with 42
The Reinvention of Chastity
apparent amusement at whatever Jeremy was saying. The deep dimples in her cheeks gave her a look of sweet innocence.
Since her makeover, Chastity had taken to wearing low cut tops and today was no exception. The sexy décolletage on display was enough to set his pulse racing. His fingers itched to trace the tops of those generous mounds. She wore her hair pulled back into a ponytail tied with a pink satin ribbon. Although he preferred her hair flowing around her shoulders, she looked lovely.
An irrational burst of envy soared through his body, making him clench his fists. Unable to help himself, he walked over to them. “What are you two grinning about over here?” Sebastian cursed inwardly. He didn’t mean for his voice to sound so harsh.
They looked up at him, Jeremy eyeing him with mild curiosity and Chastity looking slightly resentful, as though he’d intruded on a private conversation. Jeremy straightened up, an easy smile splitting his face.
“What’s up, Seb?”
“I was on my way to lunch actually.”
The blond frowned. “I thought you had a business lunch with one of your clients.”
“They had to reschedule,” he lied. He wasn’t about to admit that he canceled his appointment because his head was in his pants. “You didn’t answer my question.”
Jeremy frowned. “What question?”
Sebastian hated repeating himself, especially over something as trivial as this. “What were you two grinning about?”
“Just small talk. Chastity and I were on our way to lunch as well.”
Sebastian’s blood thundered. He wanted to knock Jeremy on his ass.
He remembered his friend telling him of his interest in Chastity, but that didn’t stop the green-eyed monster from rearing its head. A demon must have possessed him because he couldn’t help saying, “Since we’re all headed for lunch, let’s all go together.” His eyes never left Chastity’s face.
Her lips tightened slightly before she turned her head away. She didn’t seem pleased.
Tough.

“We were only going to the Gallery Mall, nothing fancy,” Jeremy said, almost as if to put him off.
“I don’t need anything fancy. You don’t mind my tagging along, do you?” Sebastian knew very well that he was putting them in a position where they couldn’t refuse without looking like a couple of jerks. The look on Jeremy’s face spoke volumes. Chastity’s face, however, was unreadable and he wondered what was going on in that beautiful head of hers. “Do you mind, Chastity?”
She looked up at Jeremy with a smile, not bothering to answer Sebastian’s question. “I’m going to the restroom before we go.”
Jeremy smiled back. “No problem. Take your time.”
Both men watched her retreating figure, her curvaceous bottom swaying from side to side with each step she took. God, he wanted her.
When she was out of earshot, Jeremy turned on him, blue eyes blazing.
“What the hell was that about?”
“What do you mean? I thought you said you didn’t mind my joining you two.”
“You know damn well I couldn’t say otherwise.”
“Why couldn’t you? I would have.”
“Don’t play dumb with me, Romeo.”
Sebastian shrugged. “Who’s
