"You're going to be out of control, aren't you?"
"Yep."
"Will you do it?"
"Definitely. I'll clear my calendar."
"Thanks." He could hear the relief in Jacob's voice.
He felt almost guilty for not telling his mate he planned on
going anyway. It was more fun to be asked.
"This really means a lot to you, doesn't it?"
"Yeah, Will's been a good friend. I'd like to be there
for him, and if his future spouse is unhappy because a
model is attending, then he's not going to enjoy his own
wedding. Hopefully, you can help squash any speculation."
"Don't worry; once Cash sees us together, he won't
be upset any more." When Cash saw the bond between
them, he would let his jealousy go.
Guy was still smiling when he entered the
conference room. He was going to a wedding with his hot
new boyfriend.

The investigation unit he'd pulled together looked at
him when he re-entered the room. Guy's fortune had come
from investing for hundreds of years, and he used a great
deal of that money to run a private investigation and
security firm on contract to the Wizard Council. Guy
directed hundreds of operatives, and the only reason he was
even here to do this particular investigation was because he
was the only supervisor currently available. With an
outbreak of magical crises lately, all hands had to pitch in.
Guy had never been so glad of anything in his life. If he
hadn't been investigating the murders, he'd never have met
his mate. Fate was playing a heavy hand, and Guy couldn't
be happier.
He looked over at his staff. "We need to backtrack
and check up on who the models met with in the last few
weeks. See if there is a definite pattern. Mandy emailed me
the schedule of her models, but nothing popped up. Maybe
they were all conned into doing a job on the side. Look
through their emails and comb their apartments. We need to
find out what happened before there are any more fatalities.
Also, put out the word that we're looking for rogue magic
users. Has anyone seen anything suspicious lately, any odd
spikes of magic or unexpected sightings?" Despite the
severity of the case, Guy couldn't stop smiling. "Niles, I
want you to check out fashion shows and photo shoots.

Talk to any other models they've worked with."
"Will do." Niles looked at Guy in surprise but didn't
say anything. Niles was still feeling out his position. Niles
actually worked for Cash but under Guy's direction. Guy's
secretary wasn't as discreet.
"How is Jacob this morning?" Sheryl asked,
smirking.
"He invited me to a wedding. He said I can be his
arm candy."
The open-mouthed surprise of Niles and Sheryl was
worth the unprecedented sharing of his love life.
"What kind of guy calls you arm candy and you let
him get away with it?" Niles asked.
"Have you seen that new billboard on Fifth?" Sheryl
asked.
Niles blushed. "Uh, yeah. It's hard to miss. All the
guy is wearing is that tiny, tiny bathing suit."
"That's the boss's new boyfriend."
"No shit!" Niles smiled Guy. "Nice going."
Guy felt the blush rise on his own cheeks. For a
moment, he completely understood why Jacob might want
to move behind the camera. The constant staring must be a
special kind of hell.
"Anyway, let's get back to business."
Guy was still thinking of his lover later that day as

he wrapped up his final meeting. He had his personal
assistant send Jacob flowers to David's apartment. He
wanted to make sure his lover didn't forget him. It wasn't
until after they were sent that Guy realized he didn't know
if Jacob was allergic to flowers.
His phone rang as he was leaving the building.
"Hello."
"The flowers are beautiful," Jacob said.
"Not as beautiful as the recipient." Relief swept him
as Jacob didn't mention any allergies.
Jacob laughed. "Did you practice that line?"
"Maybe a little. Are you available for dinner?"
"Sure, when are you coming?"
"I'll swing by on the way home. You can eat at my
apartment."
Jacob's laugh was low and sexy. "I can think of all
kinds of things I would like to eat at your apartment."
"Tease. I'm on my way. Don't forget to look pretty
for me."
He hung up as Jacob was telling him in colorful
terms what he could do with his look pretty comment. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
