"The mark of a real man, is a man who allows himself to fall deeply in love with a woman"- C.JoyBell C

Nico's POV.

 Taking one last glance at her beautiful sleeping form, I found it irritable to tear myself away as I shrugged into my suit jacket. Determined not to look back at the temptress herself snuggled contently under the silk sheets with her naked body begging my aching manhood back to bed, I purposefully strode out the house and into the awaiting vehicle.

"Good morning sir." Henri greeted as I mumbled a greeting back monosyllabically blaming my foul mood on my hardened cock pressing uncomfortably against my zipper.

What was it about her that drew me in like a drug?

It took everything in me to keep striding forward and not go back up to bed and ensure she stays there for the rest of the week.

Usually the morning drive to the office consisted of a layout of the progression of the day but my mind had other ideas as minor replays of the previous night flitted through my memory like a dirty movie nonetheless causing me to mutter curses under my breath as the car ate up the distance to the office. A woman had managed to reduced me back to a fourteen year old boy in less than twenty-four hours and the very thought pricked at me.

"Are we having the usual stop off sir?" Henri questioned interrupting my X-rated thoughts and thankfully taking my mind of my current...situation.

"Straight to the office." I replied begrudgingly taking my phone out and replying to emails before I did something stupid like turn the car around and head back home.

Annoyed at myself I arrived at the office as pissed as ever.

"Good morning Mr. Kourakis." Mia, my efficient secretary greeted jumping of her seat as I stepped of the elevator already striding to my office. Taking in my mood she hesitated a bit before beginning again. Just then the loud noise coming from within my office was heard as I looked back at her already knowing the culprits.

"Zeus looks to be in a mood." A familiar voice mocked as I entered.

Sitting as comfortably as ever, Ethan and Dillon occupied the twin leather black chairs in front my desk as though they had all the time in the world.

"Do you ever work?" I muttered exasperated as I placed my briefcase down taking my seat.

"Tirelessly during the day and selflessly during the night." Dillon responded grinning back.

Swearing loudly, that self-satisfied grin widened and despite myself I felt my mouth tug at the corners.

"Did I not tell you to behave?" Ethan finally said admonishing Dillon who shamelessly smiled back.

"Now don't go expecting me to call you daddy here mate." Dillon replied trying his best to remain serious, "Or is that your new kink since you produced your next in line?"

"I should have a restricted list from now onwards." I grumbled.

"Don't turn into Ares now Nico mou." Dillon replied continuing his usual jokes as Ethan and I scowled at him.

Just then a knock was heard as Mia entered holding a tray with teacups and freshly brewed coffee that filled the air with its strong scent along with a plate of biscuits.

"Thank you." Dillon, as ever the opportunistic flirt complimented as she left the room with a coy smile.

"No." I answered in reply to his silent question as Ethan continued on smirking at me as he sipped his coffee.

"What?" I exclaimed as he knowingly raised his eyebrows.

"Who is this girl?" He asked.

"The girl..." Dillon continued, "Who has you torn up in pieces and I know that she isn't your hot secretary which brings the question...can she be mine?"

"No!" Ethan answered on my behalf as they both looked on at my unfathomable face, "I know how a man looks when there is a girl involved mate so you may as well tell us."

"That's true." Dillon stated, "Take advice from the president of the husband's club." Which earned him a glare.

"You were almost an hour late to work this morning and you are weirdly more punctual than Luke. You look like you don't want to be here which is odd since you spend more than ninety percent of your time at the office. You forgot we had meeting at 9 and..."

"And to bring the final point home..." Dillon went on "You look exhausted but the kind of exhaustion that comes from rolling around all night long which by the way, you look fine Ethan...well rested and all."

"Why can I not look exhausted from rolling around all night?" Ethan exclaimed in mocked offense.

"Are you?" I questioned as he muttered curses at us both.

"No, Theo is teething." He replied dismally before his face morphed into a huge grin, "I am well rested and satisfied from a thorough early morning though." He finished off pleased with himself.

"No need for details mate." Dillon said he placed his teacup back down dramatically trying a look of disgust.

"Happy wife...happy life." Ethan replied back in a voice filled with pure contentment.

"Perhaps then we should give Luke a call and hear his sentiments on that statement" Dillon told Ethan as it was his turn to have a look of disgust.

Muttering darkly under his breath, Ethan turned his piercing gaze unto me again, "You still failed to respond."

"To what?" I questioned ignoring their looks of annoyance.

"We've known you for two decades Zeus." Dillon stated in a matter of fact tone, "That girl left a lasting effect on you; you're already one foot in into joining the husband's club alongside Ethan and Luke. Maybe you can be treasurer of the club in the foreseeable future."

"I will ignore that." Ethan stated before continuing on, "You can choose not to tell us but I will tell you this much, clearly she has gotten under your skin so she must be special...don't make the mistakes Luke and I did before we were granted our slice of happiness. You should know better."

Sighing loudly, I took a deep breath as I looked on their expectant faces trying to form the words that I never thought I would ever have to say...

"I am engaged."
