“I can’t believe after everything that’s happened today, you’re fixating on your sex life. Aren’t there bigger things to worry about?”
I glare at him.
“Firstly, if you were in my situation right now, you’d be complaining a lot more than I am, you manwhore. And second, I do not have the mental capacity to unpack the epic shit pile that was dumped in my lap this afternoon. Mourning the loss of my sex life is the easiest thing to do right now.”
Miles blows out a breath and scrubs his hand down his face before muttering, “I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but...” He lifts his glass and swallows the entire measure down. “You could screw your husband.”

KINGSTON
Dad was waiting for me when I finally emerged from Jonathan’s office after discussing a few things with Richard.
He wanted to know how we’d got on. I wasn’t surprised.
He has a lot riding on this partnership.
Hell, we all do.
Tatum might not see it—not yet, at least. But this is so much more than just her getting the cottage she so desperately wants and keeping some semblance of her life.
This is the merger of two huge families. Two powerful and successful businesses.
It’s been a long time coming.
For years, the two companies have been kept apart due to old rivalries and commitments to their own causes. But everything changed when Dad and Jonathan became friends.
When they both took their place as CEOs of each company, many thought the merger was imminent.
Yet it never happened.
They both stood strong and held the wishes of the men that came before them.
But the tide has changed.
With Jonathan’s unexpected passing, the future of Warner Group now lies in our hands.
It’s taken decades, but the inevitable has finally happened, and I get a hot little bonus to boot.
I can’t honestly say that I’m complaining too much.
Previously, the thought of sharing anything other than my dick with a woman has been less than appealing. But suddenly, the prospect of welcoming her into my house, my bed…fuck, it stirs something within me that I’ve never felt before.
Tatum Grace Callahan.
Sure does have a nice ring to it.
After informing him that Tatum had agreed, I excused myself from Jonathan and Helena’s house and returned to the place where I spend most of my time.
Callahan Enterprises HQ.
It’s a modern, glass high-rise in the center of town. A building impossible to miss by locals and tourists alike as they pass.
We’ve been here almost five years now after relocating not long after I joined the company from college.
It was a smart move placing ourselves somewhere so central, so focal. It’s helped push our business both here and worldwide to the next level.
You can be the best fucking business in the world, but if you don’t have the right image, the right face, the right brand, then you might as well give up. Something that Tate knows all too well.
