Liam paused but didn’t turn around until she tried again.
“Wait, Sir. Please.”
He crossed his arms and stared at her but didn’t say anything.
“Before I call Lou, I just need to know one thing. Are you seeing Dr. Jennings?”

Liam
Am I seeing Dr. Jennings?
He uncrossed one arm to stroke his chin in disbelief.
Is she fucking for real?
The stubborn look on her face told him that’s exactly what she was, and he realized he was partly to blame for not making her feel more secure.
He opened the stairwell door and commanded, “Come here.”
Utah didn’t hesitate and followed him out to the landing.
The minute the steel door closed, he pressed her against it with his body while his hand went under her chin to pin her in place, so she had no choice but to look at him.
“No. I’m not seeing Dr. Jennings; today at lunch was the first time I’d met her. You, little bee, are the only woman I’m interested in having in my bed, the only woman I care about. I care so much about you, in fact, that I created a whole new policy of taking recently hired personnel to lunch or dinner, so people wouldn’t be suspicious that I took my girlfriend to lunch on Monday. Because if word got out back to the board that the woman who hacked Boston General is my girlfriend, it would be detrimental to both of us. But mostly you, since I can leave anytime with a nice golden parachute and have a new job by tomorrow. You, on the other hand, can’t go anywhere and wouldn’t have me here to protect you.”
Her eyes got big as the situation dawned on her, and she whispered, “You did that for me?”
He stared her in the eyes and shook his head. “Honeybee, there isn’t much I wouldn’t do for you.”
“I—I’m so sorry, Sir. I mean, I really thought…”
“Baby, how could you think I’d be with another woman?”
Tears welled in her eyes. “I don’t know. I just saw you with her and that’s immediately where my mind went.” He could see in her face the shame she felt and wasn’t surprised when she uttered, “I deserve whatever punishment I have coming. Even if it’s a spanking.”
“Would putting you over my knee help you feel better?”
She bit her bottom lip and subtly nodded. “I think it would.”
Liam felt the corner of his mouth turn up. “So, I take it you’re not calling Lou.”
“No, Sir.”
He softly squeezed her chin. “Don’t ever say that again unless you’re willing to follow through.”
With pleading eyes, she pledged, “I won’t, I promise.”
Unable to help himself, he captured her lips with his. A soft whimper escaped her as she clung to his shirt and pressed her body against his. He angled his face and took a breath before deepening the kiss. She tasted like heaven, and he could have kissed her for hours right there in that stairwell.
He was so fucked.
Reluctantly, he pulled away and stepped back.
“Get your computer, baby, and wait for me at home. Be naked when I get there.”
“But Parker… he’s expecting me.”
