Matt laughed at Griffin’s comment, murmuring, “I don’t believe that you can actually read…”

Griffin glared at Matt before grabbing a paper from the stack and shoving it at me. It was exactly what I thought it was. Goddamn it, Griffin…let it go. “Yeah…I read it,” I said, flicking a glance at Kiera.

Looking reluctant but too curious to stay silent, Kiera asked him precisely what I hoped she wouldn’t. “Read what?”

Griffin shifted the paper to her while I tried to think of something that would make her feel better about this. I couldn’t think of a damn thing though. It just sounded…bad.

Annoyance on his face, Griffin told her, “This says that we shouldn’t have sex with all the girls hanging around, because chicks will try to screw us just to get knocked up! So we have to pay them to raise the kid! For eighteen years!”

The look of shock and disgust on his face was almost humorous. Griffin didn’t often consider the consequences of his actions, and this was clearly something that had never even crossed his mind before. It was honestly sort of a miracle that he hadn’t knocked someone up yet. But the way he’d phrased it, and him bringing it up here—now—was pissing me off. Why was tact completely beyond him?

Kiera’s eyes slowly turned to me. “They gave you a pamphlet on sleeping with fans?” she asked, her voice crisp, edged with irritation.

Fucking Griffin. Shrugging, I kept my eyes on my papers. “It’s just a warning…” A general, all-encompassing, doesn’t-apply-to-me warning. There was also a memo about drugs and alcohol, but of course, Griffin wasn’t concerned about that one. Just the sex. God forbid someone tell Griffin who he could or couldn’t screw. Jackass.

Before I could say anything else, Lana intervened. “It’s a standard precaution that we give to all of our rising celebrities. They will be targets to all sorts of different people, and we give them guidelines on how to best protect themselves from…being manipulated.”

She paused to smile warmly at Kiera. Lana had instantly realized that Kiera was more than an eager fan the moment I’d brought her in here with me, and she’d been extremely courteous to her. I was very grateful she was taking a moment to explain this to Kiera. I felt like it had more weight coming from Lana. “It’s the company’s way of protecting the asset. It’s a very common practice nowadays.” She laughed and shrugged. “Athletes have to sit through a seminar about it. They never listen though…”

Some of the annoyance fell off Kiera’s face as she absorbed that. Unfortunately, Griffin was still pissed. Throwing his pen down, he said, “Well, what’s the point of being a rock star if I can’t bang the groupies?”
