Possessive: At Her Masters Side (Kingswood Saga Book 5) Completed

14. Henry

I opened the email with interest, Mother had been very complimentary about the designs and when Alex had told me they had arrived at the office, I had had a brief moment of doubt that he would let his heart rule his head, but as I opened the first image I knew Mother had been right, the designs were perfect.

Every room was detailed from different angles and the drawings themselves were works of art, the image of them framed and on the walls in the club, or in our office flashing across my mind.

I lifted the phone and called Alex.
"Hey" he greeted, sounding happier than he had in a while.
"I'm looking at the drawings and details, how soon can we get this done, I presume we are going to close, how long does she need?" I rush out all my questions and Alex chuckles down the line.

"Nigel is setting up a meeting, we can work all the details out then, but she states it will take around four weeks to assemble everything, she has a warehouse that she uses to hold everything, sectioned room by room so once she has everything together, then she can start"

"I want to be at that meeting" I tell him and he groans but I know he will make sure Nigel works around my schedule as well.

"We can't rush her" he warns and I grin, knowing that patience is not one of Alex's strong points and here he is warning me.
"I know Alex, anyway we promised professional only till the club was done, we can get to know her in that time" I reminded him.

"Don't let me mess it up" he replies softly but I can hear the concern and need in his voice, and I frown.
"Alex?"
Theres a pause before he replies, "I can't stop think about her, I want to go and take her, chain her to my side and never let her go, I'm jealous if anyone else mentions her, praises her, looks at her..." he tells me and I grin to myself.

"I feel the same, but that won't work on Geneva, well not yet anyway" I say and he laughs a little but its enough to reassure me that he's got his inner caveman in check.
"I'll be home tomorrow, we can talk strategies then" I say and ring off, my gaze returning to the images of the club redesign.

Geneva's designs were brilliant but it was the little touches that made me smile, her innate sensuality coming through in each design and I knew if we could breach the walls she had built she would be the perfect partner for us, bringing balance to Alex's fierceness and my charm.

The buzz of my alarm, reminded me of my next meeting and with one last glance, I set the folder down and headed out of the office.  Wanting to get today out of the way so I can get home to Alex and Geneva.

"Seb, how are you?" I greeted the oldest Washington brother with a handshake and he grinned at me, pulling his phone out of his pocket to show me the picture of his new additions at their family. triplets.

"Congratulations" I tell him with a little jealousy as I look at the pictures of his three little boys, with him, his brothers and their wife Jersey.

"Thanks Henry, how are things at home?" he asked after we had sat down, happy to chat until the rest of the group arrived.
"Alex is Alex but the rest of the family are well" I tell him as the door opens and he gets up to greet the two newcomers.

I straighten in my seat as Hunter and Maxwell Kingswood enter the room, with Tristan Washington, rushing in behind then, offering apologies for being late, his entrance giving me a chance to observe the Kingswood brothers, before Sebastian turns to introduce me.

"Nice to meet you" I say, getting to my feet and shaking their hands, the grin on my face wide as I can see the potential in the business relationship, we were here to discuss.

The Washington brothers had brought an island and wanted to develop it into a specialist five star resort, but with sustainability and safety built into the designs.  When Seb had floated the idea a while back it had sparked my interest and I had happily invested and I know now that the other investors are the Kingswood's.  A cosmic chance or fate, I would take it, and knowing that all the men around the table were in a committed menage relationship with one woman was also good news.  I wondered what would happen if they knew about our interest in Geneva, would they try to prevent it.

Seb flicked off the lights and the screen before us showed us the two architects designs for the exterior of the buildings, the meeting today was to chose which designer we preferred.

Both designs were eco friendly and carbon natural, however, we all preferred the set that separated the units more allowing the building to stay low and giving the guests more privacy, with open terraces which could be used for a range of events between key areas.

"Great, I will send you a copy of the final designs, once we have all the permits in place we can break ground and start building" Seb tells us, happy with the result.

"What about the interiors?" I ask, my eyes on the Kingswood brothers.  "Do we have a designer yet?"
"No but we will need to get one on board reasonably quickly" Seb replied and I waited for the brothers to mention Geneva but they stay silent.

"Alex and I are having the club refurbished and have a wonderful designer, she's young but very very good, she did a boutique hotel in Chelsea recently that has attracted a lot of praise, I know she is busy with the club at the moment but as we have yet to build it may work out" I tell them and Tristan nods.

"Send me her details and I will get in touch with her, what is her name?" he asks.
"Geneva Loxley" I say and watch as Hunter and Maxwells gazes glare at me.

"Problem?" I ask them with a raised brow and Hunter stands up.
"Geneva is doing your club, the Oxford club?" he growls and I nod.

"Yes, her designs are perfect, Alex and I showed her round the club a few weeks ago and..."
Hunter's roar cut off my words and Tristan and Seb looked between us with concern.

"Guys, what's going on, Hunter, do you have a problem with Henry suggesting this woman?" Tristan asked bluntly.
"Geneva is our sister" Maxwell told them as Hunter continued to glare.

"What the hell is she doing getting involved with a sex club" Hunter spits out, pulling his phone out of his pocket and dialling a number.

I sit back and watch, if he's calling who I think he is, then the sparks will fly.

"Gen, what the hell are you doing working a sex club" he roars down the phone and I see Maxwell shake his head and the rest of us watch Hunter pace, eyes wide as he berates Geneva over the phone, before looking at it in surprise "She hung up!"

Maxwell's phone started to ring and he held his hand out to stop Hunter grabbing it as he answered "Hello Gen"

I could hear her shouting at him from across the table and grinned, as he tried to speak but she kept going, until I heard "How do you know anyway?"

Maxwell sighed "Henry Sutton Hamilton just suggested you as a designer for a new resort we are working on" he said and I could hear her mumbling something down the line at him, before he held his phone out to me.

"Geneva?" I answered and I could hear her breathing,
"Henry, what in the world is going on?" she groaned and I laughed.
"Your brothers, The Washington brothers and myself and Alex have a resort island, today we have agreed the architects and I suggested we consider you as the designer, I've seen the club designs and they are fantastic" I tell her softly.

"You suggested me, not the twins" she asked softly.
"Yes, I did" I tell her and I can hear her thinking.
"Tristan Washington will contact your office with the details about the island, I believe you could do an incredible design for it" I tell her and she sighs.

"Henry... you know this will make things difficult" she whispers "My brothers will.." she trails off and I grin before replying.
"Don't worry, I will talk to your brothers" I say back, and can feel Hunter's glare and Maxwell's interest.
"See you soon" I promise as she rings off and I pass the phone back to Maxwell.
