as a woman, she was always dreaming of Finn. Every night he came to her in her dreams. Every night she loved him with her whole heart the way she wanted to. And then morning came and she awoke alone.
    “We have never been a couple.”
    “Well, this tramp certainly thought she was. What was her name?” Shirley looked up at the ceiling, and then her eyes dropped to look right at Allegra. “Oh yeah, Raven Eddie.”
    “What?” Allegra yelled.
    Shirley couldn’t hide her satisfied smile. “Oh, you know her?”
    “Don’t play innocent. You’re no good at it.” Shirley just shrugged and grinned. Allegra grabbed her purse. “Tell the driver to grab my bags. I’ll meet him at the airport. And don’t you dare think this means I’m going after Finn.”
    Allegra slammed the door on Shirley’s laughter.
     
    Finn looked at his watch and sighed quietly. Raven Eddie’s father had threatened him within an inch of his life if he didn’t have a meeting with her. Finally Finn had agreed to the meeting with the socialite. Why she needed an agent, he didn’t know. She had been too busy hitting on him to tell him why she wanted to meet.
    “Miss Eddie, please hop off my desk and tell me what you need.”
    Raven arched her back and pouted. Maybe she was here to be a porn star? That could be interesting. Instead of hopping off the desk, Raven spun around so she faced him. She crossed her legs slowly and Finn almost rolled his eyes. He didn’t need to look to know she wasn’t wearing panties. Yep, porn star.
    “I need an agent who can handle me. I was with Smithe Group, but they just didn’t know what to do with me.”
    “Look, Miss Eddie, I’m late for my plane. We’ll have to pick this up next week.”
    One leg arched over his head and caged him in. Finn confirmed the fact she wasn’t wearing panties whether he wanted to or not.
    “I want my own reality show.”
    Finn almost laughed, but when Raven ran her hands up his chest, the laughter turned into anger.
    “As I live and breathe, is that you, Raven?”
    Raven whipped around so fast she almost fell into Finn’s lap. He leapt up and looked in wonder at Allegra. She was stunning in a tight, fitted pantsuit. Her legs looked a mile long in the red stilettos that matched the silk blouse. Her blond hair fell in soft curls around her shoulders and her makeup was flawless.
    “Ah, there you are, sweetheart.” Finn pleaded with his eyes for her to play along.
    “Darling,” Allegra cooed excitedly, “you didn’t tell me you knew Raven. Did I ever tell you we went to high school together?”
    Finn shook his head. So that was why she was here. Someone told her Raven was here. But, then why was she playing along? Finn kept his mouth shut as Allegra slowly walked behind the desk, lifted his chin with one perfectly manicured finger, and licked her red lips.
    “I’m sorry I’m late. How will I ever make it up to you?” Finn felt his pulse quicken in response to her sultry question.
    “You’re dating Allegra Simpson?” Raven squeaked.
    Finn looked down into Allegra’s face and brushed back a piece of hair. “She’s always had my heart and always will. I’ll call you if anything comes up, Raven, but Allegra and I have some unfinished business.”
    His heart wasn’t the only thing pounding as his hand ran down Allegra’s back. He heard Raven huff and then the door to the office slam. He didn’t care. Right now Allegra was looking at him in a way he’d only dreamt of.
    “What are you doing here, Allegra?”
    “I heard Raven was here and thought you might need me.”
    “I always need you. Even when I try not to, I find myself needing you,” Finn whispered. He felt her delicate hand tighten around his waist.
    “Oh, Finn. What have I done? Am I too late? There’s so much I need to tell you.”
    “Hey man, we need to go . . . Oh, sorry,” Kane stopped as he walked into the room with his girlfriend and another model.
    Finn cleared his throat. “Um, Allegra, you
