Mated to the Wilde Bear
Chapter 10: Xavier
Xavier rubbed his eyes and shuffled through the stack of applications once more. But pawing through them again didn’t change facts. Not a damn one of them was more qualified than the resume he’d already set aside.
He picked it up just as Jake and Nash entered his office.
“Hey, boss.” Jake fell into the cushioned chair opposite Xavier’s desk.
“Hey.” Nash followed suit and between the three of them, they filled the empty space inside the small corner office.
Xavier grunted back at them. He hadn’t been in the mood to shoot the shit since dinner. Or, more specifically, since that earth-shattering kiss he’d had with the DOT chic. After that horrific night senior year, Xavier had spent the last ten years steering clear of women. Somehow, after a perfect record of avoidance, Laurel Adams had gotten under his skin with almost no effort on her part, and he had no clue what to do about it.
“It’s not even ski season, and you’re burning the midnight oil?” Nash asked.
“Yeah, boss. I thought August was vacation month,” Jake said.
Both men watched him carefully. He knew that look too. They were worried about him but knew better than to ask. “I want to get it right with this new hire,” he said.
And because he knew he had to start somewhere, Xavier waved the resume at them. Jake snatched it first. He read the first few lines and then looked back at Xavier with wide eyes. “No fucking way.”
