The door opens and Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Brickwell walks in with Sam behind them. Tey’re wearing crisp black suit and it makes me wonder my businessmen needed to wear fucking suits. Well, whatever.

I stood from my table and shake both of their hands.

« Good Day Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Brickwell. Please take a seat. » I motion them to sit on the chairs in front of my table as I made my way to my table and sank on my chair.

« Well, Mr.Garrison. We are here to talk to you about our company that has—«  Mr.Rodriguez speaks but suddenly gets interrupted when the door opens like a bull charged into it.

Who the fuck doesn’t know about the ‘not to disturb a meeting’ rule !

I look up angrily and…

…hello there sexy.

He’s here ! HE’S HERE ! I could practically feel my hands sweating as excitement rushes over me. I must hide it. Why is he here ? Well, I just sent the letter to his sister to ask her hand in marriage. If he’s here to reply well that’s good but I never expected him to barge in here.

I mean, who’s complaining ?

« I’m so sorry Mr. Garrison ! » I heard Claire run over towards my Angel. You heard it, HE’S MINE ! or soon he will be.

« I tried—« 

« Not your fault, Claire. » I told Claire and she nods in reply and walks back to her desk.

« Can I help you with something ? » I asked my angel as raise my brow. Fuck, he’s so beautiful. I could see his brown eyes and his perfect hair. Damn, he’s just as I imagined him. His more than what I imagined actually. I tried to hide my smile as he looks at me in the eye.

« I’m Alexander McKin—« 

Hello to you too Angel. He didn’t even say « hello » or « hi ». Rude.

I cut him off immediately. I love when I cut people off. Weird,but true.

« I know who you are. » Well, I knew him for more than 24 hours and I already put his picture in my office table.

« Well, I’m here to talk about my sister. » Oh kill me ! His voice is beautiful, like him.

I realized that there were still men inside the room so I turned to them.

« If you’ll excuse us gentlemen. I think I need to speak a few words with Mr. McKinley here. » I looked at Sam in the eye and gave him the ‘get them the fuck out of here’ look. Clearly,he understands it and escorts the two old men out of my office and leave me alone with my angel. Just what I need.

I turned and walk towards my desk and sank on my chair. I quickly pulled the photo and face it down as he starts to talk with his beautiful voice.

« So tell me, why do you even want McKinley Inns ? » He asks and I chuckle. It was very obvious why.

« Like anyone, I want to expand, And you’re an opportunity. » I said to him and look at him. He seems angry. I want to know why.

« And you don’t care who gets trampled in the process ? » His voice rises a bit. So he doesn’t want my deal. As if that slender yet beautiful body can stop me with my plans.

I crossed my arms and snorts.

« I don’t think I made the situation clear. I’m the one doing you a favor. »

« By marrying my sister and taking over our company ? » He’s getting more angry. I can feel it. I can’t tell him that all I need was to do my grandfather’s wish.

I need to make him think that expansion is the reason. I can’t tell him yet !

« By saving your company from bankruptcy. The way I see it,It’s a win-win. » I said with smile. Yes,it’ll be a win-win.

« The way, I see it, It’s a lose-lose ! »

« You’re being impractical. »

« At least I have a soul ! » He tells me and rolls his eyes. Oh fuck that turned me on.

« Last time I checked, A soul wasn’t a requirement for a business license in New York. » I said as I smirk at him. Such a sassy angel.

« You’re not marrying my sister. » He declared like an ultimatum, glaring at me. Okay now he’s angry. Well, as if he intimitades me.

« And why is that ? » I ask him and tilt my head.

« My sister already has a boyfriend. » It was basically personal information and I really don’t why I ended up blurting it out. «  And what kind of brother would be if I just let her marry someone just to save my company. »

So that’s the reason she’s protecting her. This is the reason I don’t want a sister. I mean, why would I sacrifice my well-being for a rat ? Well slow clap for Alexander McKinley. What a very supportive brother.

« You’re the kind of brother who puts the family business first before your sister’s relationship. »

He rolled his eyes at my reply. A beautiful pair of eyes I should say.

Silence came upon us and within my silence I came upon a realization point.

I never and will never ever ever ever want to marry his sister. I want to marry you. Wait—I could marry him. Yes, I could marry him ! Grandfather wanted me to be married and he never stated that I needed to marry a girl. Besides my family knows I’m gay. He knows I’m gay !

Holy shit ! I can’t believe I forgot about it. How could I be so stupid ?! I could marry the angel in front of me. My heart beats fast as happiness falls upon me. Grandfather might not approve it but he’s worth the fight.

« What about…you ? » I asked him and broke the silence.

« I’m pretty upset. » He says as he looks down on the floor like despair came upon him.

« Your emotional state is irrelevant. Do you have a steady boyfriend ?I know you’re gay. » So, I blurted out that I know he’s gay ! Now I sound like a crazy stalker !Well, I already know he’s single. Okay, I’m a crazy stalker.

« No. And what does that have to do with anything ? » He still sounds sad.

« Problem solved. » I said as I walk up to him. I can’t help it. I need to see those eyes !

« Huh ? » He still looks down on the floor so I raised his chin and stare straight into his eyes.

He blushes at me cutely. I look at his crotch and notice his erection. I turned him on.

« Marry me. » I say it to him. Well, Im straight-forward. Deal with it.

He pushes my hands away making me sad.

« Are you…joking ? »He stutters yet he glares at me. Him being so grumpy makes him even more hot.

« Do I look like the joker type ? » I ask him. I like teasing him.

« I don’t know and I don’t care. You’re not marrying Katie or me ! » I felt pain in my heart when he said that. Well, he won’t be able to stop me.

I brushed my hand over his crotch and smile as I see him blushing hard. I’ve been waiting to do that all day.

« The other one here says otherwise. » I smirk and lean into his ear. He smells so fucking good.

« I want you and I know you want me too. »

« I w..won’t marry you ! » He says and stutters. He’s still blushing.

I stood straight cross my arms. I smile when I see him looking at my biceps. He likes them,clearly.

« Well, your company is very close to bankruptcy and as I heard, my uncle gave you a week to take care of it. »

« Your uncle ? MR. STONE IS YOUR FUCKING UNCLE ?! »His voice starts to rise as if I’m not in front of him. He’s really angry at my uncle.

« Watch your tone. And yes he is my uncle. Which gives me leverage. My company, well me in this case, pay your debt. Given that you accept my proposition. » I smirk, yet a bit nervous he won’t accept.

« What if I say no ? » He suddenly asks.
