About OUR OPTIONS HAVE CHANGED
Having it all is a fantasy, right?
Chloe Browne knows all about fantasy. Fantasy is her job.
And she’s very, very good at what she does.
As director of design for the O Spa chain, a sophisticated women’s club that is trending its way into being the Next Big Thing, Chloe’s ready to take on the world.
One baby at a time.
Her home study’s done, and she’s about to adopt, a thirty-something single mother by choice. Who needs to put her life on hold for the right guy when the right baby is waiting for her?
Besides, talk about fantasy.
The right guy?
Pfft. Right.
And then in walks Nick Grafton, with those commanding sapphire eyes and wavy blonde hair and a sophisticated mouth that only smiles for her.
He’s perfect.
But the last thing Nick wants is to start fresh with a new baby as his college-age kids fly the coop. A single father for more than fifteen years after his wife walked out on her family, Nick finally tastes freedom.
But he likes the taste of Chloe more.

Through the next ten slides, Chloe shows us
exactly how brilliant she is, while I struggle to grasp the landscape of the
meeting. She walked in here with a fringe idea and a slim chance of convincing
Andrew McCormick to invest on the scale she wants.
And now they’re talking New Orleans, San
Francisco, and—
“Rio would be a great target for 2018,”
Chloe says, sitting down across from Andrew, tapping the end of a pen against
the front of her teeth. “What about Tokyo for 2020?”
“The Olympics!” Andrew and Amanda say at
the same time, then laugh.
“We’re getting ahead of ourselves,” I
declare.
“You’re not convinced I’m worth taking a
chance?” Chloe asks, her nose twitching with amusement, that curled lip driving
me mad.
“You’ve convinced me,” Andrew says,
standing and finally looking at his phone. “Nick, make it happen.”
“What?”
“Give Chloe whatever she needs.”
“Whatever she needs?” I choke out in
surprise. Quickly, I recover, face showing no emotion, even if my pulse and
half the blood in my body has migrated below my belt and I can’t stop wondering
what’s under that corset. One peek of a nipple is like being given a single sip
of Hennessy cognac.
It’s great, but you want the whole thing in
your mouth eventually.
God help me, her eyes meet mine and her
smile widens.
Best. Job. Ever.
“Right. Chloe, why don’t you go back to
your office for an hour or so, while Nick and Amanda and I hash out some
details in the conference room. We’ll call you,” Andrew says, standing and
reaching for her hand. The only hint of emotion in Chloe’s face comes from the
micro-movements in her eyes. She is pleased.
I want to please her. And not just with Anterdec’s money.
In this business setting, she should be pleased. Sharp and perceptive,
she’s turned the meeting around. A green light from Andrew McCormick isn’t easy
to obtain, and she marched right in here in secret dominatrix lingerie and she
did it. I am intrigued and a little spellbound.
Maybe I’m just lightheaded from the lack of
blood flow to the brain.
She unmoors me, turning back decades,
making me feel like an awkward, uncoordinated teen.
But with a man’s appreciation for all that
goes into making her her.
“Nick?” Andrew’s clipped tone makes me
realize I’m in my own head. Chloe’s standing before me, her nose twitching with
amusement, the rest of her face revealing nothing.
“Great presentation,” I say, shaking her
hand. My eyes float down to her rack.
“It’s an eyeful, isn’t it?” she jokes.
“Certainly impressive,” I confirm. “The graphs.” I need to dial this down.
Andrew’s giving me looks that could peel paint. “You give great data.”
“I aim to be Good, Giving, and Game.”
“Isn’t that what Dan Savage says about
sex?”
“It applies to business, too.”
“A universal set of tools.” She shrugs.
“Everyone can have the same tools, Nick.
Tool acquisition? Anyone can do that. The real skill is in implementation.”
With that, Chloe Browne leaves me
speechless, hard as a rock, and the object of my boss’s ire.
One hell of a hat trick.
