“Uh.... I'm... I'm not really qualified to do Sarah's job. I don't see why-”

“Sarah wasn't qualified to do her job when she started either. That's what training is for,” Erik said with a slight shrug. “And I will personally train you to attend to our needs.”

A thick silence hung in the air as they watched me take in the undeniable sexual undertone of Erik’s words. Donna's implication from earlier came back into my head and I furrowed my brow. A small part of me wanted to tell them where to shove their job offer but the larger part recognized the incredible opportunity it would be to work directly for Erik and Sebastian.

Not to mention the money and the office.

Or the possibility of sleeping with one of them.

I tried to turn my perverted thoughts off but didn’t succeed, not with the way they were both looking at me, cocky grins stretched lazily across their lips like they already knew I was going to say yes.

Which... alright, yes. They were totally right. The bastards.

“If the rumor is true... I'd love to do it.”

“Wonderful,” Erik said before pulling open a drawer and handing me a sheet of paper. “This is a standard NDA. You can review it tonight but don't sign it yet. We'll take care of that tomorrow.”

“Why do I need an NDA?”

The men looked at each other warily before Sebastian carefully explained, “Since you'll be working so closely with us, you may become privy to knowledge that could possibly damage our reputations.”

Erik nodded and elaborated more, “I won't lie, this NDA solely exists to protect us. But you can rest assured that we also sign one for you, so if either of us were to happen upon something about you that you don't want anyone else to know about... Our lips are sealed.”

Something like fucking my boss? Good to know. Will take that into consideration.

I shook the thought out of my head forcefully before plastering on a smile for my bosses. “Sounds good. I'll look it over tonight then.”

“Please do. And if you have any questions, feel free to call me,” Erik said as he pulled a business card from his pocket and jotted down his cell number. I plucked the small piece of paper from his fingers as I stood up.

“Or me,” Sebastian chimed in as he handed me his own card. “I'm up later than Erik so if you need anything at all, just call.”

There was a slight tension as I took the card and Erik turned to glare at his partner. I may have been imagining it but they almost seemed to be competing for my attention. The mere idea of such a thing was enough to fluster me.

I politely excused myself before I had a chance to say or do something stupid. “Thank you both. I'll see you bright and early tomorrow.”

They nodded and wished me a goodnight before I practically ran out of the room, heart pounding with adrenaline as I replayed the meeting over and over in my mind. As I passed my cubicle I hesitated, frowning a little at the thought that I wouldn't be working next to Donna anymore.

She would understand though and I was willing to bet we'd still have lunch together every day, just so she could drill me for juicy tidbits about our bosses. I grabbed my purse and flicked off my desk lamp, leaving the office with a sense of excitement as I considered how different everything would be tomorrow.

Chapter Two

“I fucking told you!” Donna exclaimed with a laugh as we stepped into the elevator together. I couldn't help but to laugh at her expression, which was a weird combination of smugness and surprise. “You're
so
going to wind up boning the bosses.”

“Shh!” I hushed her, my eyes going wide at her candor.

“Relax, girl. It's just us in here.”

She was right, we were the only two people in the elevator this early in the morning. I had come to work early to be prepared for whatever Sebastian and Erik had in store for me and just happened to run into Donna, who was here early to get a head start on a new project.

“Sorry, I'm just paranoid.”

“It's cool. So tell me... Are you planning on fucking them?”

“No!” I exclaimed, wishing she would let the subject drop. “They're my bosses, it would be sexual harassment to even flirt with them.”

A corner of her mouth quirked up in an amused smirk. “Okay, what if one of them came on to you? Would you consider it harassment? Be honest.”

I rolled my eyes at her but couldn't stop the slow smile as I shook my head.

“Exactly! Whichever one you wind up boning, I want details. Like, good ones. Like
size
details. Oh and stamina. I bet they can go all damn night.”

“Shut up,” I grumbled, slapping her lightly on the arm. “Even if one of them did make a move, I sure as hell wouldn't give you any details.”

Donna gave me sad puppy dogs eyes and asked, “Why not?”

“Well, for one- that's not my style. Two?” I dug into my messenger bag and pulled out the NDA. “I'll be under contract.”

She glanced at the paper and cursed under her breath. “Well, can you at least give me some kind of sign if you do something with them? Just to satisfy my curiosity.”

The elevator dinged as we arrived at our floor and I dryly asked, “So you can spread it around the office rumor mill? I don't think so.”

Donna huffed as she followed me out the doors. “Like I would do that.”

~*~*~

“Any questions before we sign?” Erik asked as we waited for the notary to arrive. Sebastian was lurking against the far wall of Erik's office, watching our interaction blearily as he sipped his morning coffee.

“Not really. I looked it over and like you said, it's pretty standard. You don't have to worry about me, I know what an NDA entails.”

Erik looked pleased as he smiled at me and Sebastian let out a grunt of approval from where he stood. I twisted my hands together, thankful when the notary finally stepped in and we all took our turns signing on the dotted line.

After the document was filed and the notary was gone, Sebastian turned to me and said, “Erik's taking you today. He’ll go over the gist of what you'll need to know as far as buyers and business associates. I'll have my turn tomorrow and show you what I'll need from you when the time comes.”

I didn't miss the way Sebastian heavily laid on the innuendo nor did I miss the wink as he whispered, “Good luck.”

“And then there were two,” Erik said with a smile as his partner in business stalked out of the room. “Ready to have a go at it?”

The constant sexual innuendos were going to be the death of me, I was sure of it. But Erik just tilted his head to the side and looked at me curiously as I chewed on my lower lip and tried in vain to fight back the blush rising to my cheeks. I nodded and gave him the cheeriest smile I could while trying not to think about what it would really be like to have a go at it with him.

He didn't make it any easier on me as he guided me around the building with his hand resting on the small of my back. It confused me as to why we were even doing a tour when I had already been working here for a few months, but it quickly became clear as we made our way towards the elevators.

I had never bothered to explore the other floors of the building and I was fairly certain that I didn't have clearance to even be on some of them. I watched as Erik pressed the button for the ground level then turned to me.

“We'll head to the security office first and get your access pass. Then I'll show you around some of the floors you haven't been on and after lunch we'll go get you your new cell phone.”

“Cell phone?”

“Yes. You can keep your old phone for personal use but this is the one we'll call you on if we need you.”

“Couldn't you just page me? There's a land line in Sarah's office, isn’t there?”

Erik laughed. “There is, but you can't take that with you when you leave.”

My eyebrows furrowed as my brain started putting together the pieces. “So... Wait a minute. Am I on call?”

“Of course. You're technically our assistant now and part of that is being on call for whenever we need you.”

So that’s why Sarah always looked so stressed out.

“What's wrong?” Erik asked as he noticed my frown.

“I just... No offense or anything, but I really wish I had known that before agreeing to take this job.”

“Would it have affected your decision?”

I shot him an incredulous look. “Of course it would have! Being on call for not one, but
two
bosses at all hours of the day? Will I even have time to have a personal life?”

Erik's easygoing mood vanished before my eyes and he looked almost saddened by my outburst. I quickly backtracked, not wanting to give him the wrong impression.

“I'm sorry. I just... I barely have a social life as it is so now being on call just means it's going to be that much harder to keep it. But I really do appreciate the promotion. I'll find some way to make it work. I’m sorry if I sounded ungrateful.”

He nodded then fixed his eyes above the door, watching the floor numbers go down until we made it to our stop. He stepped out before me and I felt a wave of disappointment at the loss of his touch on my back. With my head hung low, I followed behind him until we reached the security office.

Erik introduced me to the head of the security branch before leading me to have my picture taken for an identification badge. After taking the picture and waiting for the badge to be made, I sulkily sat to the side while listening to Erik chatting with some of the employees standing around. He joked and smiled with everyone but when I looked at him, I could see that the smile didn't reach his eye. Guilt gnawed in my stomach at the realization that I did that. It was my fault.

After half an hour I had my badge and clearance to go everywhere in the building. Erik and I walked back to the elevators and he hit the button to a random floor, his eyes never meeting mine. I couldn't stand the tension between us any longer.

“I'm really sorry, Erik.”

He finally turned to look at me, his expression slightly confused. “You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm just thinking.”

Even with his assurance, I still felt guilty about the pensive look on his face. He showed me around various levels of the building but neither I wasn’t really paying much attention, still a little too upset by the change in dynamic between us that I had accidentally caused.

It wasn't until lunch rolled around that I finally started to feel a little better thanks to Sebastian’s presence.

“How's your day going?” he asked curiously after Erik and I stepped into his office.

“It's going-”

“Christina is hesitant about taking the position. She doesn't want it to cut into her social life,” Erik abruptly declared, cutting me off mid-sentence.

I gaped at him, completely blindsided by him throwing me under the bus. “I didn't-”

Sebastian hopped in. “Is that right? Are you seeing someone?”

“Wha- No. But if you keep me on beck and call all the time, I'm not going to have an opportunity to.”

The men exchanged a look, silently communicating with their eyes. I grit my teeth together, trying not to let the feeling of being left out of the loop irritate me too much.

“So you aren't seeing anyone, but you would like to?”

“I don't see how this is relevant,” I said, throwing up my hands. “Can we just arrange some time of the day where you agree not to call me so I can plan around it?”

“No,” they both said at the same time.

“Why-”

“Answer his question, Christina,” Sebastian demanded, standing up from his desk and walking towards me. “Is that the problem or not? You want a boyfriend and you're worried that we'll cut into that part of your life?”

Knowing that I wasn't going to get myself out of this, I sighed heavily and said, “I guess that's the simplest way of explaining it.”

Again, they looked at each other in a silent communication and I fixed my gaze at the floor, refusing to look up.

“How would you feel about two?”

I snapped my head up, looking at Erik questioningly while I asked, “Two? Like, two am for a cut off? I guess I can deal with-”

“No, no,” Sebastian cut me off, holding up his hand as he chuckled. “There won’t be a cut off time. You're on call for us at all hours, darling.”

My heart fluttered at the term of endearment, even as my mind raged at the thought of being constantly phoned in the middle of the night to attend to... whatever it was they needed.

“Then two what?”

“Two boyfriends.”

I slowly turned my head to face Erik, staring at him incredulously as he crossed his arms over his chest and cocked an eyebrow.

“Well?”

I turned back to Sebastian, taking in his eager expression as he awaited my response.

“Are... Are you joking?”

“Not at all,” Erik said as he approached me, once again placing his hand on the small of my back as he lead me towards Sebastian's desk. “Sit down. Lock the door, Sebastian.”

I heard the click of the lock turning then the sound of the blinds being drawn closed before Sebastian's footsteps made their way back over to his desk. He pulled his chair around to sit beside me and Erik grabbed one as well, arranging it on the other side and effectively trapping me between the two of them.

“Now that the NDA is signed and we're all together, perhaps we can go over the real reason why we picked you for this position.”

Oh my god. Oh my god. Donna was right. They hired me for sex!

“As you probably realize, we're both extremely busy men. Even between the two of us, this company takes a lot of time and energy to run and so we’ve both put our personal lives to the side for years in order to reach where we are now,” Erik explained.

Sebastian picked up where he left off. “That being said... we're both starting to feel the strain.”

“What do you mean?” I asked, looking between the two.

Erik hesitated before answering. “Well... Neither of us has really dated anyone since we first started the company. When it became clear that we needed to put all of our focus on the business, we mutually agreed not to date anyone until we had everything under control.”

“And while casual sex is fun as hell, we're getting old,” Sebastian said bluntly.

I couldn't help but to smile at that. “Oh,
come on
. You're not old. You're what… Thirty-three? Thirty-four?”

Sebastian chuckled. “Thanks for the compliment, darling, but I just hit forty and Erik will be joining me in the 'over-forty' crowd next month.”

I felt my eyes widen in surprise. “Really? I never would’ve guessed... But that's still not what I would consider
old
.”

Erik shook his head, “Maybe not, but it's kind of pushing the limit in terms of having children. No man wants to have his first child at fifty.”

An uneasy feeling began to rise in my stomach as the two stared hard at me, gauging my reaction. I cleared my throat and swallowed before carefully saying, “I'm not sure where I come into this.”

“Let me break it down for you,” Sebastian said as he leaned towards me. “We still want to focus on the company which means we don't have time to go out and find girlfriends or wives, but we both want children. Heirs to leave our company to. And we want
you
to be the mother of those children.”

Oh. My. God. WHAT?!?

“W-Why me?” I asked, torn between being totally horrified and totally flattered.

“I think we both took notice to you the second you stepped into our building. You're fucking gorgeous.”

Erik nodded in agreement. “We’re both incredibly attracted to you and more importantly, we
trust
you. We've spent the last few months paying special attention to you.”

Even though I was partially freaked out by this whole situation, the thought of them both wanting me to carry their children made my skin heat up. That meant that they both wanted to sleep with me. Hell, they asked how I felt about having two boyfriends!

I nervously licked my lips, hyper-aware of their intense focus on me. “Paying attention?”

“Yeah,” Erik breathed out as he rolled his chair closer to mine. “Watching you when we can and speaking to you... We both see how nervous you get around us. It's because you want us.”
