means everything. However, I need to make sure her value to me is clear. I’ll send off some reminder emails this afternoon, so they fast-track the updates to her compensation package I asked for after we got funding for the solar film.

I smile at her. “And I have you, too. Right?”

“I’m sure I can take him out with my wicked organizational powers if he gets out of line.” She puts up her hands like the claws of a cat, makes her best mean face, and growls.

I throw my head back and laugh. “Let’s get ready. At a minimum, we can have drinks at a beautiful restaurant on the beach in Honolulu before we meet them. Governor Chow made me promise I’d bring you back for dinner at one of the high-end restaurants.”

“You failed to tell him we leave on Monday.”

“I still own the estate. We can come back whenever we’d like.”

“You have a long list of people to bring here. And once we go through the estate’s payroll, you may want to lose it in the next poker tournament.”

“It’s that high?” Viviana may have lost it to me on purpose if it’s that expensive.

“The staff is needed, but there’s no income. There could be some, but it’ll never cover the costs.”

With that, her pants drop to the floor and she unbuttons her blouse. I’m consumed by her white lace panties and her gorgeous tits. I pull her into my arms and suckle her nipple through the lace.

“But maybe you need the tax deduction,” she breathes.

God, I want this woman. “We can go over what you learned on the flight.”

“I transferred…five hundred thousand…dollars…to their operating account…” She moans. “…this morning. That way they can…complete the—don’t stop…” She breathes heavily as my hand dips inside her panties. “…renovation, pay…some bills, and…make payroll.”

She’s so wet and responsive. Her hips buck as she pushes herself into my hands. She bites her lip as I suckle her nipples, and she moans her climax. She’s drunk from pleasure and breathing hard.

I suck my fingers clean. “Wow. Okay. I’ll definitely walk through that.”

“I should go take a shower, “she announces.

“Can I watch?”

She blushes. “You’re the boss.”

“You keep saying that. I hope you know that we’re partners at work, and you can kick me out of your bed whenever you want to.”

She smiles. “Mostly I like you being bossy.”

I step in close, and she strokes my cock through my pants. I kiss her hard. She gets down on her knees before me.

“You’re quite the beautiful sex kitten. I’m secretly glad you’re stuck at my place when we return. I have so many plans for us.”

She looks surprised. I hope she understands this is the beginning of something. After a moment, she takes me into her mouth, and I lose all sense of time and place.

A little while later, once we’ve recovered, I notice she’s gathering things together.

“Remember, we’ll be back here tonight,” I tell her. “We’re coming home after dinner.”

“Yes, and we fly home on Monday.” She continues working around the room, putting things aside and preparing to pack.

“Tonight will be fun, and we’ll see the sun set over Diamond Head—a little different view than here at the estate.”

She nods.

I get out of bed and walk naked to the bathroom. Corrine stops what she’s doing and stares. I take great pride in having the same effect on her as she has on me.

Chapter 16

Corrine

That evening, as we wait to be seated at the restaurant, I adjust my dress for the third time.

Jackson leans down and whispers in my ear. “You look beautiful. No need to be nervous.”

I have a just-fucked flush on my face, and I’m worried everyone will know. We’re shown to our table, and an older Asian couple stand.

“Aloha. Welcome to Hawaii, Mr. Graham,” the man says.

“Governor, this is my girlfriend, Corrine Woods.”

My mind spins. Girlfriend? I suppose with my current look, it wouldn’t go well to say, “This is my assistant.”

“So nice to meet you,” the governor says. “Please let me introduce you to my better half, Courtney.”

I extend my hand. “So nice to meet you both.”

I begin to sit, and there is someone behind me pushing my chair in. The club exudes wealth and prestige. There are definitely no tourists here.

I hear the governor order bourbon for Jackson, and he looks at me. I eye Courtney’s fruity-looking drink. “I’ll take one of those.”

“Mai tais are my favorite.” She smiles. “I understand you’re visiting from the mainland.”

“We are. We’re staying on Maui for a long weekend.” The waiter places my napkin in my lap. “Are you originally from here?”

She shakes her head. “No, Alex and I met at the University of Washington during law school, and I followed him here.”

“You’re a lawyer?”

“Not anymore. Too many long hours, and we wanted to start a family.” She looks at her husband and smiles.

It’s good to see two people in love.

“What about you? What do you do?” she asks as she sips her drink.

I hate this question. If I tell her I’m an admin, she’ll think I’m not up to her legal standards. If I tell her I’m Jackson’s admin, she’ll think I’m sleeping my way to the top. I paint a smile on my face and go with my standard answer. “I work in operations and project management.” No one really pushes hard with that kind of response.

“How did you and Jackson meet?” she asks.

I’m about to answer when he interjects. “We met at work. She’s one of the most valuable employees at Soleil Energy.”

The governor and Jackson begin to talk, and Courtney and I listen politely.

“Thank you for the donation to my reelection campaign,” the governor says.

“I appreciate
