Mondays were always rough, but this one was brutal. Lily eyed the doors on either side of her walls at least a hundred times. She knew Sawyer was on one side and Jack on the other. All she could think about was being in their arms. Their mouths on her body.

She shuddered with the rush between her legs. One thought of what they had done together over the weekend and she was wet and hot.

The weekend for the wedding in wine country had been the most romantic and incredible weekend of her life. She had a funny feeling not even the bride was as happy and giddy as she was.

If it wasn’t for the tech meeting in five minutes, she wasn’t sure she couldn’t trust herself not to walk through one of those doors. But which? She didn’t want to choose. She knew from now on, she would always want both.

She had given herself to them and she knew it included her heart.

She gathered her files and her laptop and headed for the conference room on the tech floor. She wondered if everyone was staring at her. If they could see that she had been taken twice. If they could see the afterglow still penetrating from her skin.

She shook the thoughts and took a seat at the head of the table.

“Good morning, everyone.” She smiled brightly at the group gathered in front of her. “Are you ready to get started on the integration proposal?”

“Lily, I have a few questions on his this is going to roll out,” Barb spoke up.

“Ok, then let’s go over it. Turn to page five for the timeline and we can work through it.”

In a matter of minutes, she was focused on something else. If there hadn’t been an entire team in front of her, peppering her with questions and needing her guidance she knew she’d be doing something entirely different.

It was after lunch by the time she wrapped the meeting. As soon as she entered the executive lobby, Penny met her at the elevators.

“I have something for you,” she announced.

“What is it?” Lily took the leather briefing packet.

Penny shuttled her into her office.

“There’s a conference in New York. All the top advertising executives are going to be there. It’s completely my fault. I’m so sorry, but I should have had you booked for this trip your first day here. I completely screwed this up. But we didn’t have anyone in charge of the department and I let it slip.”

“Penny, it’s ok. Don’t apologize.” She leafed through the itinerary. She would be spending two nights in New York and staying at the Waldorf. “Are you sure I need to go?”

She nodded. “Yes. I’m afraid to tell Mr. Kincaid or Mr. Rivers how royally I messed this up for you. You should be there. You are the leader in advertising now and without your presence, they would think Kincaid-Rivers would look overshadowed.”

Lily put her hand on the assistant’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. It will be fine. I’ll speak to them.”

“Can you just tell them you were going all along? Do you have to mention I was late in the planning?”

Lily bit her lip. She didn’t want to leave Chicago. She was just getting used to sleeping between Jack and Sawyer. According to the packet, she would be on a flight tonight. Maybe they would want to go to New York with her.

“Please?” Vicki pleaded.

“Oh, all right. But maybe I could go for one night instead of two?”

Vicki looked relieved. “Why don’t you try it and then if you need to come back early, we can arrange it.”

“I guess I should let…” her words trailed off. How did she speak about Sawyer and Jack in front of the other employees? “I’ll tell Mr. Kincaid and Mr. Rivers. Thank you, Penny. And don’t worry, it will stay our little secret.” She winked as the woman walked out of the office.

Lily took the leather file and walked through the secret door to Sawyer’s office. Usually the men were there together. She looked over at the sofa as she waltzed through the private lounge. She considered it the place she decided she wanted more than one man in her life. The place she opened her mind and body to endless possibilities. She smiled, tapping on Sawyer’s door.

“Come in,” he called.

She was right. They were both here.

“How is your day, sweetheart?” Jack brushed his lips against hers. He seemed to always like to get to her first.

She felt the instant tingle his kisses gave her. “Better now.”

Sawyer stood from his desk. “What have you brought us?” He pointed at the file in her hands.

“Oh, this. It’s an advertising conference. I think I was too distracted with the wedding to mention it this weekend. But I have to fly out tonight for New York.”

“You do? How long will you be gone?” Jack asked.

“It’s two nights, but I was considering coming back early.”

Sawyer looked serious. “And this is necessary?”

She nodded. “It’s a prestigious event. I have to represent Kincaid-Rivers. And considering the launch, the timing is actually impeccable.”

“I see.”

She couldn’t gage his emotions. Was he disappointed? Was he upset with her for leaving after the intimacy of the weekend? Yesterday he had given her a glimpse into his past. He had been vulnerable on their walk through the vineyard. She loved seeing that side of him.

“I could cancel,” she volunteered.

Jack shook his head. “No. We are all adults. And running this company means we have to work. We have to lead. Sawyer and I will be fine for a couple nights.”

“You’re sure?”

He nodded. “Think of all the lost time we can make up for when you return.”

“You promise?”

Sawyer’s voice echoed behind her. “Absolutely.”

“You could fly up with me.” She looked at them eagerly.

“No. We have too much going on. Go. It will be fine.”

She sulked. “All right, but I need to go by my apartment after work to pick up a few things for the flight. My suitcases are there too.”

“That’s not necessary,” Jack interrupted. “We bought you all new things. You can have any luggage you want.”

She laughed. “And everything is beautiful, but I do like some of my own things. And I have this special travel pillow I use for flights. I want to take it.”

“We’ll buy you a new pillow.” He wrapped his arms around her. “You know you could take the jet if you wanted.”

“Jack.” She pressed into the planes of his chest. When she looked in his eyes, all she could think about was how he held her when she came. How he steadied her through the most erotic sexual experience of her life. How his stare was the first thing she saw when Sawyer was behind her. They would forever be entwined in that moment.

“Fine.”

He bit at her bottom lip, playfully. “Hurry back, sweetheart.”

“I will.” She walked over to give Sawyer a kiss. He surprised her when he picked her off the floor and pulled her into his arms. The kiss was rough and passionate. It reminded her of yesterday. She sighed.

“Now you can go.” He stood her upright, but she grabbed the desk for balance. “And when you come back, I’d like to talk to you about a few things.”

“Oh? Is everything ok?”

He nodded. “It’s some logistical things in advertising. Nothing to worry about on your trip.”

“Ok. Sounds good. I’d love to talk.” She was almost at the front door when she realized she came through the secret entrance. “Oops. I don’t want Penny to know I sneaked in here.”

She retraced her steps. “I’ll see you in a couple of days.”

“Have a safe trip.”

She waved good bye. For an instant, she wished they would scoop her up and tell her it was impossible for her to leave. They needed her here to exist. To breathe. But Jack was right. They were adults. And this was certainly the most advanced relationship of her life. She was a part of Kincaid-Rivers. She needed to represent their company and show them how proud she was to be in their lives.

“Bye.” She closed the door, leaving them behind.
