He turns to leave, and I glance at Pia. She’s staring at the takeout bags in longing, and I smile.

“I got us lunch. Why don’t we eat in my office?” I suggest.

She blinks, those beautiful purple eyes widening.

“Oh, you didn’t have to do that,” she objects, but I just smile and pull her chair out for her.

“I wanted to. Come on, you must be hungry by now.”

Her stomach growls as we head into my office, and I make a note to have more snacks on hand here for her. I don’t want my girl to be going hungry.

She takes a seat at my desk, and I decide to sit in the chair next to her instead of across. She’s wearing a white button-up shirt that can barely contain all of her mouthwatering curves and a black skirt that ends a few inches above her knees. She tugs down on the skirt self-consciously as I start to take out the food, and my mouth waters. I’d much rather take a bite out of her right now than anything that’s in these bags.

“You look lovely,” I tell her, and she blushes.

“The clothes are kind of…old. I think I need to get a new wardrobe if I want to stay working here,” she laughs, and I tense.

Was she thinking about leaving already?

“Did someone say something to you?” I ask, ready to fire anyone who might have hurt my Pia’s feelings.

“No! Nothing like that. I actually didn’t even talk to anyone here yesterday… or this morning. Maybe I should be eating in the breakroom.”

“No! No, I want to get to know you a little better.”

Her cheeks heat, and I hate to think I’m making her uncomfortable.

“I want to make sure that you feel comfortable here. Were you able to look around all of the software programs and all of that? Did you have any questions?” I ask her, and she relaxes.

“Yeah, it seems pretty standard. I’ll ask if I have any questions.”

“Good, good,” I say, passing her a burger and some fries. “I got us both cheeseburgers. I hope that’s okay.”

“It’s perfect. Thank you.”

She unwraps her burger and takes a big bite, moaning slightly as the flavor hits her tongue. I freeze, my eyes locked on her full mouth as she chews. She licks her lips, and I bite back a groan. I’m seconds away from coming in my pants like a teenager, and all she’s doing is eating. God help me if she ever tried to seduce me. I think that I would come on the spot.

“It’s so good. Thanks again,” she says, and I nod, trying to get my body under control.

“What’s your favorite food?” I ask her as I unwrap my own burger.

“Pizza,” she says right away.

“Pepperoni?” I ask, and she grins.

“Of course,” she says with a laugh. “What about you?”

“Same, though I have more of a sweet tooth, so maybe I should say ice cream.”

“What flavor?” She asks.

“Mint chocolate chip.”

She scrunches up her nose adorably, and I laugh.

“Not a fan?” I ask her, and she shakes her head.

“I’m a moose tracks or cookies and cream kind of girl,” she tells me.
