.“No, but that’s all I can say.”I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.I knew in that moment whose decision it was and why I was truly being punished.It was time to stop taking my anger out on Jimmy.“So, explain this job to me.”Jimmy looked up and smiled.“Even though it’s a home job, I think you’ll really like it.There’s one more thing.” Jimmy paused until I gestured to go on.“He’s, um, I’m not sure how to say it.”“Just say it.” He still wasn’t talking.“Does he have a handicap and you’re worried about being politically correct?”“Well, I guess you could call it a handicap in some people, but I’m not sure about him.”I sat there and looked at him.Rolling my eyes, I crossed my arms and said, “He’s an asshole.”“I didn’t say that.”“No, you didn’t and you haven’t told me to behave yet, but I know that’s coming, too.I make no guarantees, so maybe it would be better if you brought whoever Hathaway is fucking back to do this job and send me back out on the road.”Jimmy’s face turned red instantly and he immediately went on defense.“I didn’t say any of that.”“No, Jimmy, you didn’t.I did, but we all know that’s the only reason she’s the photographer.She must be a good lay to have almost two years of photo shoots, be shit, and still get promoted to my job.Those pictures are really horrible.”He smiled even though it looked as if he was trying not to.He turned to his email without another word, but couldn’t stop the smirk no matter how hard he tried.He agreed with me and it was all I needed at that moment.I’d deal with Lance Hathaway later.Cagney buzzed that the VIP had arrived.I stood up and smoothed out my jacket and slacks.I also took a moment to make sure the girls were still at optimum cleavage.Jimmy scoffed.“He’s married.”I raised my eyebrows and looked at him.“So are you, but you still look.”He shrugged, not denying the truth, and walked to the door.I was smoothing down the last of the wrinkles in my jacket when I heard his deep voice.I froze.“Jim, thank you for meeting with me again.” I heard the door shut and heard him approach.I closed my eyes.Carl Williamson was a man known to my family.He and my brother had fought for the same woman.Carl lost.He never stood a chance with his intimidating and aggressive tactics.He even used his daughter as a pawn to get Drew to go out with him.I didn’t know who he was when I first met him.The only thing I needed to know was he was hot and I was in need of a hot man.At that time, being hot and single were my only dating requirements and I wanted to date Carl.It didn’t stop me from seeing him when I found out.A choice I later regretted.Jimmy kept bringing him closer.“No problem.We’re just as excited to get started.This is the photographer you requested.”“No.Fucking.Way.” I spun around and met Carl’s black eyes.It only took him a second to register what was happening and his eyes widened in surprise.“I’m not working with this asshole.” I started for the door.“Rachael!” Jimmy grabbed my arm.He was surprisingly stronger than I had anticipated.“What’s wrong with you?” He tried to speak softly, but Carl heard him.“I can’t do this.”I couldn’t look at Carl.I already knew what he looked like.I didn’t need to see the man standing off to the side to know his shoulders were broad.I didn’t need to see the jet-black hair to remind me I wanted to run my fingers through it.I already knew he was the perfect height to offset my heels.I could’ve bet money his designer suit fit his body perfectly, and was pressed as though he had just stepped off the pages of a magazine.And I didn’t need to see the look on his face to know his strong, squared jaw was set—hard.No, I didn’t need to see him again to remind me of all of that.“You have to do this.” Jimmy started to drag me away from the door.I wrenched my arm free of his grasp and from the corner of my eye, saw Carl take a step forward when Jimmy tried to grab me again.I placed my hand up to stop him.“Don’t.”Jimmy held his hands up and backed away.“Just give us five minutes.I’m not sure what exactly went on between the two of you, but I’m only asking for five minutes.” I hesitated and Jimmy whispered, “Just think of the camera.”I glanced at Carl and looked back to Jimmy.“Do I have to work with him?”Carl answered.“Yes, you do
