Free Rules of Her Sins (Their Sins #1) by A. Gorman

we need anything else. “We’re good,” we reply in unison.
    “Thank you, I wanted to. And I don’t know. I’ve worked with him for a year and a half but not in a close proximity. He always communicates with my father, so I guess my father would have told him about what went on with Chet and the contract. I wasn’t joking when I said the past few weeks are the most I’ve talked to him since I’ve been here. I get the occasional hi and bye, but normally he’s cocky about it. Maybe it’s because he’s around my father, but I’m not sure. And get this, I have to assist him because Natalie was in an accident. Which, thinking about it now, I’m surprised I didn’t hear from him this morning.”
    “Maybe he knows about the contract you signed with your father? I mean, you told me even though you weren't supposed to, and it's only in place for less than a month. After that, you are free to date anyone, including company employees.” She cocks her head to the side, seeming curious.
    “Possibly, but I don't think my father would tell him, ‘Hey, don't let anyone around my daughter because I made her sign a contract so she can't hook up with co-workers.’ Maybe I should ask him. I don’t want to call him, though; it’s more of a face-to-face conversation. He took the lovely Chantelle to New York, so it will have to wait.”
    “Oh, what is the latest adventure that step-mommy dearest is up to?”
    “I have no idea. I stay away from her as much as I can. She tries to be all buddy-buddy, but I can’t do it. I’m polite to her, but that is as far as I can go. There is something off with her. I swear she married my dad for his money, but I’m sure he saw through that and made her sign a pre-nup. The man loves his contracts,” I say with a snort-laugh.
    “Let’s hope so…but sometimes you McCoys go head first into love without thinking.” She smirks.
    “Ouch, bitch.” I giggle.
    We finish eating lunch and drink the rest of our beers, then pay and go to the parking garage to get my car so we can head back to our destinations. I wasn’t in the mood to talk very much because Aedan’s comments were on my mind. I will figure out what he meant about me forgetting him, I hope sooner than later.

    I can’t believe I…well, Levi, was finally able to get a date with Jesse for Tuesday night at six. The time works out perfectly because it gives me a chance to get everything together for her. Dinner in the room, and then I’m going to fuck her until she begs me to make love to her.
    After this morning, I feel hyperactive, ready to explode. I need to work out or hit something; I have to get out of the office. I take the elevator to the lobby, arriving just in time to see Jesse get in the car with her friend. Hurrying to my car, I follow them downtown. I should have known she would go to Falling Rock. The bar is one of her favorites.
    Luckily, my gym is around the corner. I watch them go in the garage and then I follow behind them. I park, grab my gym bag out of the trunk, and hurry down the stairs to wait for Jesse and Laney to exit the garage. I watch them make it to the bar before heading to the gym. I need a good run. Hopefully, I can run long enough to get rid of this ache in my cock.
    In the locker room, I change into a pair of black basketball shorts and a sleeveless shirt, throw on my Nikes, and head out. I grab a bottle of water and a towel on my way to the treadmill. I think a five-mile run will lessen my hunger for Jesse.
    After stretching out my body, I set the pace on the treadmill for a six-minute mile. That will give me time to get my run in, take a shower, and get back to work before it’s too late.
    Forty minutes later, I look down. I’ve done well over six miles, yet the throbbing is still present. Argh.
    Cold shower, here I come .

    When I get back to the office, I have two voicemails from Aedan. He needs to
