He smiled softly. “I loved having you in it, really.” He handed me a espresso, gesturing to one of many stools by the island. “I usually have bother sleeping, however having you subsequent to me helped loads.”

My face flushed, and I bit my lip towards the massive smile that wished to unfold throughout my face. “I’ve been instructed I’m a mattress hog.”

He made a tick sound behind his enamel. “Nonsense. You have been high-quality. I hope you don’t thoughts me becoming a member of you. It was both that or sleep with Luka, and he’s been recognized to cuddle even along with his mates. I’d reasonably cuddle you than him.”

That made me snigger as a result of I’d skilled sleeping with Luka earlier than. He was a wonderful cuddler, however I might see why Grayson wouldn’t need that.

“Did I wake you once I left?” he queried.

I shook my head. “No. My alarm went off.”

He blinked just a few occasions, trying behind him on the clock on the microwave. Then he huffed out fun, shaking my head. “So that is the way you handle to beat me to the workplace so typically. It’s 5 am.”

Scrunching my nostril, I shrugged. “I’m an early riser. In addition to, once I get there earlier than you, I’ve time to settle in earlier than our morning assembly.”

He hummed his acknowledgement, coming to take a seat beside me. “I’ve began trying ahead to these conferences. I do know my day goes to go effectively with you answerable for the schedule.”

His reward lit me up inside, and I beamed at him. I didn’t actually really feel like I used to be helpful at my previous job, with my solely actual duty being offering snacks. Grayson made me really feel very important to the corporate, and that meant loads to me.

“I’m afraid you’re not going to have the ability to beat me into work this morning,” he teased.

I snickered. “No. I’ll most likely be late. I must run residence to alter, and the trains are crowded very first thing.”

He frowned. “You’re taking the prepare to work?”

“Sure. It is not far, and I like that I don’t must waste fuel. In addition to, within the evenings, the blokes prefer to drive me residence.” Normally as a result of it was their evening, however I didn’t need to deliver that up. I didn’t know the way Grayson was going to contain himself in all of this. Final evening, he directed, however he didn’t take part, so I wasn’t certain what that meant.

“I’ll provide you with a journey residence.”

Biting my lip, I shook my head. “You don’t have to do this. I wouldn’t need to make you late.”

He chuckled, drawing my focus. “Truthfully, Julie, I’d reasonably not go in should you’re not there. I swear, folks search me out once they know I’m busy. You’re my buffer. You retain the animals at bay.”

I coated my mouth to muffle my snigger to not wake Luka. Grayson’s eyes danced as he grinned at me, and butterflies exploded in my abdomen. He had a very nice smile.

“Have a look at you two, flirting like an actual couple. He’s not your solely boyfriend, lovely.”

Luka’s voice broke the second and once I turned to look at him, he smirked at me. I pursed my lips, frowning at him.

“That wasn’t what you have been carrying yesterday.”

Coming across the island, he wrapped himself round me, nuzzling into my neck. “I maintain just a few spare outfits right here in case I’m too drained or too drunk to drive residence.”

Grayson nodded, pushing off the stool. “Bennett does the identical factor. I’ve been contemplating discovering a brand new place in order that they’ll every have their very own room. It’d make my life simpler not having to wash up the visitor room so typically.”

Luka made a face. “I instructed you, you don’t must undergo all the difficulty. We don’t give a shit if the mattress isn’t made.”

It appeared like an previous argument, one which Grayson had no real interest in altering his thoughts about. I used to be a bit jealous concerning the thought of all of them residing collectively, although. Residing alone wasn’t all it was cracked as much as be. It was lonely and sometimes a bit terrifying provided that if I bought harm, nobody would know. I hadn’t had roommates since school, nevertheless it was good to have somebody to greet you while you got here residence.

“Julie, if we get shifting now, we should always be capable of make it to the workplace on time. You stated yesterday that I had a morning assembly?”

I nodded, rattling off the schedule for the day as I wriggled freed from Luka’s embrace and hopped off the stool. I discovered my garments neatly folded on the dresser of the visitor room. I needed to push Luka out of the room when he stored providing to assist, figuring out that if I let him, we’d for certain be late. After I got here again out, Grayson was wearing a darkish go well with and tie, frowning at Luka.

“You’re certain?”

Luka bobbed his head. “That’s what I heard. I’ve been working the numbers on what would occur if he pulled his investments. I feel if we bought just a few first rate buyers through the gala, it shouldn’t have an effect on the underside line.”

Grayson sighed. “Did you hear why?”
