Heels that I wouldn’t mind digging into my ass while I fuck her.

“I do it often, I’ll be fine. But thanks for showing the first sign of human compassion I’ve ever experienced from you,” she says, turning to walk away.

I should just let her go, let her twist an ankle, or worse fight off any man who sees her dressed like that. But I don’t. I hear my mother’s voice in my head telling me to be the gentleman she raised.

“Wait,” I say, groaning.

She sighs, throwing her hands out to her side. “What Corbin? I’m tired and I have a busy day tomorrow.”

“I’ll walk you home,” I say.

She laughs, shaking her head. “No thanks.”

“Come on, princess. I want to beat you fairly and if something bad happens you won’t be around to see my gloating,” I say, trying to hide a smirk.

She laughs and turns away from me. “You can walk behind me.”

This time I grin and light a cigarette as I follow her home.

A little stalker-like, but for the first time ever, I felt like she needed me to be more than an asshole.

We get to her building and when she opens the door, I turn to walk away.

“Hey, Corbin,” she yells.

I turn my head and she smiles, leaning against the door. “Showing me your human side twice in one night might kill your reputation of the biggest asshole alive.”

I chuckle and shrug. “Only in your dreams, princess.”

I walk away and rub the back of my neck as I head back to my shop. I did let her see a different side of me but what kind of guy lets a woman walk home alone? It doesn’t mean anything, just means I’m not the heartless prick she thinks I am.

Which is fine because when I win this competition, she might congratulate me.

Chapter 5

Leah

I toss the covers off of me and stare at the ceiling. I hate that I let Corbin get the best of me last night. My dinner with Lucas was spectacular. He loved what I designed and wouldn’t stop complimenting it. I’ve got this in the bag, I know that. But when Corbin had me pressed up against that wall, it was the most exciting thing that has happened to me in far too long. My body reacted to him in a way it shouldn’t, and I almost gave in when he followed me home. When I called his name, I was going to invite him in.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

It has to be that I’m just so excited because I know I’m landing this deal. Maybe I just wanted a night of fucking an asshole to celebrate.

I stopped myself though. I knew it was wrong and as enticing as doing the wrong thing feels, I didn’t do it.

Instead, I locked myself in my room and gave myself an orgasm as I pictured that son of a bitch.

“Ugh,” I moan, smacking my hands onto the bed.

“Leah, are you awake?” Arya yells.

I slide out of bed, feeling a little satisfied and a lot dirty.

Grabbing my robe off the back of the door, I slip it on and pad out to the kitchen. Arya is leaning against the counter, looking like a fucking model. I look like I was sweating my makeup off while pulling my hair.

“Why the hell do you look so good this early?” I ask, pouring myself a cup of coffee.

“Because I have lunch plans with my sister. She flew in yesterday so I figured I might as well get it over with,” she says, rolling her eyes.
