Chapter 1

"Why are we here Aiden? This is our family cabin, where we shared memories with Mom and Dad, not a place for business deals." She asked standing in the doorway getting ready to leave and go for a swim.

Her step-brother gave her a scolded look as he passed by and entered the foyer of the multi-million dollar cabin. "I don't want to have to tell you again Reagan. You know damn well why we're here. This is the biggest deal of my f*****g life, our life and I have to seal it. You will f*****g play your part... no questions asked! Do you understand?"

Her eyes fell to the floor to avoid eye contact with his angry eyes. She hated being a pawn in all of her brother's business deals. Being used like a commodity but in the end, she always went along with it. She walked into the living room that was floor to ceiling windows and looked out at the beautiful lake below.

Reagan Kade didn't normally make practice of lusting after her big brother's business associates. In fact, to her brother, they were supposed to be lusting after her while he herded them into signing his business deals. It was a partnership between the two that started only a year ago.

"Rule number one, always make the best use of your assets, Reagan," her brother would tell her. 'Her assets' meant her looks and her body. Something she didn't lack. She had lush curves and ample breasts, which always drew the eye of both male and females. She could have easily passed for a runway model with her flawless and stunning looks. When her brother's associates were busy ogling her perky t**s, they always lost concentration on the business at hand. At first, it hadn't been like that. Aiden had always requested that she be present while he conducted business but when she grew tired of it, Reagan expressed that she wasn't going to be his toy anymore, that is until the night he sat her down and gave her an ultimatum. It was either she be their distraction or she was cut out of the family business that he now controlled. That was an easy decision overall and it wasn't hurting anything or anyone as long as there was no physical contact. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a choice.

This weekend though was different. Normally they would stay at their family mansion located in La Jolla, California but when Aiden told her they were flying out to Lake Tahoe to stay at the family cabin, it raised suspicion. The cabin wasn't a place for business negotiations; it was a place of family memories. But, Lucas Ferris had come to stay with them for the weekend and talk business so Reagan agreed to play hostess. Her brother Aiden had also made a huge fuss about her wardrobe and picked out certain outfits that she would wear for the weekend which was completely out of the norm.

She didn't argue, though. When her mother, Carey remarried she was only ten and Reagan loved her new family, specifically her big brother who was twelve years older than her. Aiden and her new step-father, Sean had always treated her like blood right from the beginning but when they were both killed in a car accident eighteen months ago Reagan was crushed and terrified. She had already lost her biological father when she was a toddler and now she only had her older step brother to care for her which wouldn't be an issue financially because Aiden had inherited his father's multi-million dollar land developer company. Reagan’s biggest fear was to be alone, no family and she swore to god that would not happen.

As she had looked over at Mr. Ferris earlier in the day she noticed he wasn't like the other business men her brother usually invited to their house. His usual business associates were older, pot-bellied and ready to keel over or at least had one foot in the grave, but Ferris didn't look a day over thirty. Okay, maybe thirty-five. She had met him a few times previous in her California home. He was extremely fit and muscular and had inky black hair just long enough that you could run your hands through. He looked to be at least six foot four and had a smoldering intense s*x on a stick type of look. Handsome didn't justify his looks at all with that deep-skin tan and smoldering deep-set eyes that were dark orbs of blue.

She found it to be strange, he didn't look like he was here for business at all and who the hell brings a bodyguard with them? The guy looked like a huge gorilla standing outside on guard for Christ sakes. She had been watching him since they had arrived and neither he nor her brother had talked over one business deal or looked at one shred of paper. She just shrugged it off.

The beautiful day had turned into night and she noticed that Mr. Ferris seemed to be watching her too. Sometimes it felt like he was devouring her with his eyes and she couldn't help herself. When she turned to check, she noticed he made no effort to hide the fact that he was checking her out. Every inch of her. A devilish grin would pull at his lips and he would give her a slight nod of his head. Reagan found it flattering, yet at the same time disturbing and strange.

After a late dinner, they moved into the family room and her brother and Mr. Ferris sat and exchanged light talk, while Reagan made them another round of drinks behind the wet bar. Her eyes would frequently look out at the two men, pretending to be in her game mode, but she was utterly exhausted and only wanted to go to bed. She gave the men their drinks and returned to a bar stool admiring Mr. Ferris's physique as he stood and stretched. Her eyes trailed to his broad shoulders and then up to his thick neck. When her eyes wandered up to his face, she was shocked to see the intensity in his eyes as he returned her stare. He looked like an animal ready to attack his prey and then a second later the look was gone like it was never there and replaced with a genuine smile. It made Reagan's heart race and she suddenly felt incredibly uncomfortable.

Reagan turned in her stool to avoid his contact. What the hell was wrong with her? She was used to men staring at her but that look, Lucas’ look was different. Almost predatory and it frightened her. She was still a virgin and had just turned nineteen last week. She wasn’t very familiar with s****l feelings; oh she had her share of college guys she had dated but she knew that they either wanted her because of her money or body and she sure as hell wasn't about to hand her virginity over to some frat boy that had no idea what he was doing. Nope! She was saving herself for the right man. A man that wanted her for her and nothing more. She wanted her first time to be magical and a night to remember for the rest of her life. That wasn't so much to ask for she thought.

A few minutes passed by and as she turned to look at her brother and guest a yawn escaped and she couldn't help but apologize as they both looked at her.

Aiden smiled and said, "It's been a long day sis. Why don't you head to bed and we'll see you in the morning."

"Are you sure?" She asked raising an eyebrow and stepping off the stool. She watched Lucas stand. "Aiden's right. Go get some sleep while we exchange boring banter. Tomorrow is another day." He said giving her a sly wink.

She turned to start walking up the large cedar staircase and stopped, turning to them, smiling. "Goodnight. I'll see you both in the morning for breakfast." As she began walking, she heard Mr. Ferris say, "Sleep well."

When she reached the landing she headed down the hall to her room. She closed the door and shedded her clothing and slipped into only a t-shirt and kept her panties on. After spending most of the day swimming and in the sun, she was utterly exhausted. Only two days to go and this will all be over she thought to herself. She climbed into bed and covered herself up to her waist with the bedsheet and slipped into a deep sleep.
