Chapter 6
Chapter Six
Chase
My alarm was going off, and I sighed as I opened my eyes, grabbed my phone, and shut it down.
If I didn’t love the waves so much, I would be sleeping in for another two hours before heading into the office.
The weekend was crazy fun but exhausting.
Saturday night with Steven at the Skybar landed me in a hotel room with Sophie, and last night’s escapades didn’t get me home until two a.m.
It was six a.m. before I officially climbed out of bed, grabbed my surfboard, and headed into the water. The number of sexy women that were already on the beach doing yoga in their tight as fuck pants and skimpy sports bras was enough to wake anybody up.
“Hello.” I smiled as I passed by each one of them. “Beautiful way to start the day.” I grinned as I stared at their perfectly shaped asses.
I threw my board into the water and paddled out, waiting for the waves.
The sun rose as I sat on my board and stared at its beauty.
The only real place I felt any kind of peace was out here, in the middle of the open water, letting the waves break over me.
It wasn’t too long before I was joined by others who felt the same way I did.
A lot of people went to the gym to get their morning exercise in before starting their day, but not me.
I got in my morning exercise by surfing and having sex.
Depending on my plans, I saved the gym time for either midday or early evening after the office.
I surfed for about an hour and then headed back up to the house to shower and get ready for work.
“Good morning, Lexi.” I grinned as I walked past her desk and into my office.
“Good morning, Chase,” she spoke as she set my coffee down.
“How was your weekend?” I asked.
“It was good. Ben and I spent a couple of days in Napa.”
“Ah. Got filthy drunk on all that wine?” I smirked.
“I wouldn’t say filthy drunk.” She grinned. “Don’t forget you meet with John Koppelinger at eleven o’clock.”
“Thanks. I did forget. Is my father in yet?”
“Your father’s been here since six a.m., and he wanted me to tell you that you are to be in his office the minute you get in.”
“He and Penelope must be fighting again.” I smiled. “One can only hope. I can’t stand that wretched woman.”
“That wretched woman is going to be your stepmother.”
I shrugged. “Maybe not. I think dear old Dad is finally seeing her for who she really is. Anyway, thanks for the coffee. I’m going to head over to his office.”
As I was walking down the hallway, I noticed a beautiful blonde sitting at the desk outside his office.
“Well.” I smiled brightly as I stopped. “You aren’t, Isabella.”
She looked up, and her blue eyes pierced me.
“No. I’m Kinsley.” She smiled.
“Kinsley.” I gave a cunning grin. “What a beautiful name for an extraordinarily beautiful woman.”
“Chase, get your ass in here!” my father shouted.
“As soon as I’m finished, I’ll be back to introduce myself properly.” I winked as I headed into his office and shut. The door. “Good morning, Dad. You seem a little on edge this morning. Everything okay?”
“No, Chase, everything is not okay. What was the one thing I told you to do?” he spoke in a stern, authoritative voice.
“I don’t know. You ask me to do a lot of things.”
“For fucks sake. I specifically told you to stay away from the temp! Didn’t I?”
“Oh. You mean Isabella?” I smiled.
“She quit, and I know you had something to do with it! You slept with her, didn’t you?”
“Listen, Dad. I took her to the fundraiser. The one you,” I pointed at him, “made me attend because you didn’t want to.
I didn’t want to go alone, so I asked her to tag along.
There was drinking involved, and one thing led to another.
I politely told her the next morning that it was a one-time thing.
It’s not my fault she couldn’t handle it. ”
“You have a million women you could have asked! She was actually a very good temp.”
“Please.” I rolled my eyes. “She worked for you for one day. How could you possibly know if she was any good? Wait a minute. You two didn’t—” I wiggled my fingers.
“Of course not! I’m engaged to Penelope!”
“Well, Dad, that never seemed to stop you before.” I cocked my head.
He glared at me as he rested his hands on his desk and then shook his finger at me without saying a word. I could see the anger splayed across his face.
“Don’t even try, Dad. You’re the one who set specifications on whom you want sitting outside your office, and now look, Kinsley out there is even more beautiful than Isabella. So actually, you can thank me.”
“Thank you? For what?!” he loudly voiced.
“For the departure of Isabella. You’re welcome.”
“You literally have two seconds to get out of my sight before I disown you!”
“Fine.” I put my hands up and walked out of his office, shutting the door behind me.
I looked at Kinsley, who sat there looking down with a grin on her face.
“You heard all of that?” I asked.
“Only the part where he said he would disown you if you didn’t get out of his office.” She began to laugh.
“Don’t mind him. He tends to get wound up over nothing. Anyway.” I smiled as I extended my hand. “I’m Chase Calloway, son of Dean Calloway.”
“Kinsley Davis. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Calloway.” She smiled back as she placed her hand in mine, sending my cock twitching beyond control.
“Trust me.” I cocked my head. “The pleasure is all mine.”
“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to work,” she spoke as she got up from her seat, grabbed some files, and headed into my father’s office.
“Of course. Enjoy your day.”
I swallowed hard and placed my hand in my pocket as I walked back to my office.
She stood about five feet eight with legs that were long and lean.
Her hair was naturally blonde with loose waves at the ends that flowed perfectly over her shoulders.
Her eyes were heightened by the arch of her perfectly manicured brows.
The color of them wasn’t your typical blue.
They were more of an aquamarine color, the perfect mix of blue and green.
Her slender jawline, perfectly shaped lips, and cute button nose made her face perfect.
She captivated me and left me momentarily at a loss for words.
I let out a deep breath as I sat behind my desk.
“Hey, Chase,” Steven spoke as he walked into my office. “I have—hey, are you okay?”
“I don’t know. I think I just saw an angel.”
He chuckled. “Who is it this time?”
“My dad’s new temp. Her name is Kinsley Davis.”
“Wait a minute. I thought your dad’s new temp was Isabella?”
“She quit.” I waved my hand.
He rolled his eyes. “And I’m sure that had nothing to do with your rejection of her.”
“Who cares. We’re talking about Kinsley here. I want to go out with her. No, I take that back. I NEED to go out with her.”
“You mean you NEED to fuck her,” he spoke.
“Yeah. That too. Dad wasn’t too happy about Isabella quitting. He just laid into me a few minutes ago.”
“Then you better back off of Kinsley.”
“No can do, man. I’ll figure out a way to get to know her without compromising her job here. Plus, how long is she really going to be here? I’m sure Audrey will be back in a couple of days. I’ll wait until she returns and Kinsley is no longer working here.”
“Hey, Lexi, can you come in here for a minute?” Steven yelled from my office.
“Yes, Steven?”
“What’s going on with Audrey? Does she have the flu or something?”
“No. They found some suspicious tumors on her uterus. She had to have a hysterectomy.”
“So how long will she be out of the office?” I asked with great concern for my getting to know Kinsley.
“About eight weeks.”
“For fucks sake.” I shook my head.
“I don’t understand?” Lexi narrowed her eye at me.
“I feel bad for my dad. I mean, Isabella quit after one day, and now there’s another new temp. God knows how long she’ll last.”
“Stay away from her, and I’m sure she’ll last the whole eight weeks.” She smiled.
Steven let out a laugh.
“Don’t you have work to do, Lexi?”
“Yes. Actually, I do.”
“Great, now what am I supposed to do? There’s no way in hell I’m waiting eight weeks,” I spoke.
“I don’t know, bro.” He sighed. “Good luck with that one. By the way, I finished the Lexington program. Take a double look and let me know your thoughts.”
“I will. Thanks, Steven.”
