Triple Trouble: A Steamy Romance Collection by Nicole Casey (109)

Prologue

DYLAN

It was just another day at the office. I was bored to hell. If this next client didn’t have anything good on the table, I was going to just quit this day and spend my time at Mercury Wild. I was sure the other guys had some fun ideas. Well, anything was better than the drab I had to deal with here.

“Mr. Bernard,” my secretary called on the machine. “Mr. Vergara and his daughter are here. They want to take the Mulberry property.”

Fuck. Did I just complain about this being a slow day? Well, that instantly changed everything. The Mulberry property was one of the most expensive estates my company had and we definitely wanted to sell it to an investor before its value depreciated.

“All right, Holly, let them in,” I instructed. “After that cancel everything I have for today. Let Joseph take my cases if I still have any right now. Do I have anything?”

“Just the Corman deal,” she replied. “I’ll let Joseph know. The Vergaras are coming in now, boss.”

I took the little time I had left to fix my suit, adjust my blue necktie and take a sip of my coffee before they entered.

The door creaked open and in walked Mr. Joel Vergara, a reputable old man who knew where to put his money. This was the first time I ever got to do business with him but not exactly the first time we’ve met. We did get to shake hands once during the opening of Mercury Wild as we both financed the bar.

Joel was a little man, very thin and frail with white hair and big blue eyes. He was probably in his sixties by now.

Right behind was his daughter. I felt my breath get knocked right out of me the moment I laid eyes on her. She was smoking hot, standing maybe five-feet-two, had piercing green eyes that she probably inherited from her mother and a tight, firm body I could already imagine how good it would be to have one night with her.

Her hips swayed with every step as if she was seducing me just with her very presence, and my eyes naturally lingered on her giant tits, thanks to the revealing low neckline of her red suit. She had naturally light brown hair that accentuated the milky white tone of her skin and the red lipstick she wore.

“Have a seat,” I offered as I kept my eyes on her. I then diverted my attention back to Joel and shook his hand, “Welcome to Bernard Realty. It’s really nice to finally do business with you, Mr. Vergara. I’m a huge fan.”

The old man smiled as he shook my hand and took a seat, “Same here. I’m really excited about this property. I’ve been trying to get a hold of something as big and within the city limits for a good year or two now.”

I acknowledged that with a wave and said, “So, what do you plan to do with a place that big? It’s technically an old manor but you could turn it into a commercial lot if you want.”

He then turned to his daughter, who had been taking notes and then turned back to me, “Well, the truth is we want to build a new hospital there. If it was just me I couldn’t afford the estate but I here represent a few other investors and we’re aiming to put together what we can, ain’t that right Cherry?”

Joel looked over at his daughter and she simply smiled back without saying a word.

“The spot is ideal for a hospital,” I replied, hoping I could put on my business face while still getting a few chances to stare at Cherry. I opened my drawer and pulled out a map of the town, and then I pointed at the location of the property. “It’s close to a few residential neighborhoods while still standing only a few blocks away from downtown. It’s also a bigger lot than the one the local general hospital uses so you’ll have a big business advantage if you use that space for newer, better medical equipment and labs.”

The old man considered it for a moment and then nodded, “You push a hard bargain. I like everything you’re pointing out but there is the fact that it costs millions of dollars. It’s on the cusp of what my associates and I can afford.”

Cherry glanced at me, pulled her father in and then whispered something into his ear. The old man listened carefully and after a while, he looked at me and said, “Perhaps we can continue negotiating this. I really want to purchase it and I don’t want it to go to anyone else. If someone else bought the property, they might just use it as a mansion or build a mall.”

“It’s likely going to be a mall if someone else gets it,” I pointed out. “Look, how about I lower the offered price if you can provide a forty percent down payment in cash and within the next two months?”

Joel and Cherry took a moment to discuss it. I didn’t want to rush them so I sat back and patiently sipped on my drink while preparing some papers they’d have to sign if they indeed wanted to push forward with it.

“We like the idea,” Joel then said when he turned back to me. “However, I have a few business meetings in Southeast Asia and I won’t be able to complete the transactions if they have to be dealt with so hastily. If it would be okay with you to continue this transaction with my daughter Cherry then we’re all set.”

I looked at her one more time, hoping I could read her thoughts and emotions. She looked back at me. For a moment, I was caught by surprise but soon I noticed something. She, too, seemed to be reading me.

For that very brief moment, our gazes locked and I felt like a river of warm summer water swirled us in together. She looked even more beautiful with each passing second.

“I am okay with that,” I then said when I broke our gaze and turned back to Joel. “When will you leave? I’ll have these documents ready within the week.”

“Oh, I’m leaving here by Monday morning,” he answered.

It was late afternoon on a Thursday right now. If I hurried and got these documents processed quickly tomorrow I could get them ready by Monday.

“That’s fine,” I told him. “I’ll have everything ready by then. If it’s okay with you, I’ll go with you to the airport this Monday, have you sign an affidavit and then spend the rest of the day with Cherry so we can go through the rest of the transaction.”

They both nodded.

“All right then,” I said as I took a contract and handed it to Joel. “Please just sign this contract here. This contract states that the property is currently on hold from the market for the next fifteen days. If our transaction doesn’t hit a conclusion within that period the contract expires and I’ll put the property back for sale.”

Joel didn’t find any issues and he signed. He then signed a separate contract confirming any decisions and signatures by his daughter were done in his power. I took a copy of that as well.

Once all the papers were signed I shook his hand and reached out to shake Cherry’s hand too, “Thank you.”

She looked at me for a second and with a slightly nervous move, she reached forward to accept the shake. I gripped her hand and marveled at how soft it was. The mere touch of her skin on mine was turning me on.

“Thank you too,” she finally said something out loud and damn did I feel so horny. Her voice was soft but sultry. It was like her every word was an erotic moan, like a cat purring for attention.

I let go of her hand and gave her a soft nod, feeling a little glad knowing I would still get to spend some time with her in the next few days.

“Well, I’ll be seeing you when I get back,” Joel said once he was done signing all the necessary papers. “Thank you so much for all the help. I really hope this transaction pushes through. I trust my daughter will do everything she can to fulfill any requirements you have.”

“I promise, daddy,” Cherry then said.

The way she said it sent chills up and down my spine. I wanted her to say that line to me. Ugh, I could already feel my cock getting a little stiff just from her voice.

I opened the office door and saw them out. As they walked through the doors I bid them farewell, “Have a good weekend. I’ll see you both this Monday morning.”

Joel continued on out, wobbling with every step, but to my delight and surprise, Cherry took a moment to pause and look back. She was shocked to see me staring back at her but instead of shying away, she merely locked her gaze once again with mine.

I didn’t blink or look away until she finally turned back around and followed her father out of the hall.
