"Bullshit." Maddy's voice was as clear as day, even though she had to be on her fourth glass. "You've never allowed yourself to brainstorm with a man, much less be in a confined space. What gives?"
Maddy was like a dog with a bone. If she thought she found something that resembled gold, she would keep digging until she was sure it wasn't before giving up.
"I'm serious,” I said. “You know I don't entertain men. We were so into it that we lost track of time."
"So into it, huh?" Only Maddy would take something so innocent and make it sound dirty. She wiggled her brows playfully. "I can understand that. I've been so into it once or twice myself."
"Into what?" a voice asked.
My head snapped around to see Arjun standing next to us. However, it wasn't him that made my body start to hum. It was the man behind him. Spending so much time in his company had made me aware of his presence. That bergamot and amber scent was fast becoming a frequent visitor to my nostrils.
"Nothing that involves you, cocksucker." Maddy rolled her eyes, and I kept my gaze downward. Aaron was staring at me. I just knew it. He always stared at me.
"I'm willing to bet only one of us has sucked cock before, and it's not me." Arjun's cheeky tone would’ve been hilarious if I wasn't so aware of Aaron.
Besides, did they have to use such colorful language? I was okay with the occasional “fuck” and “shit,” but cocksucker? I mean, we were still at the office, after all.
"Of course, you wouldn't admit it,” Maddy retorted. “Why ruin that perfect dickhead personality you've crafted for yourself by admitting you love getting on your knees?"
"I'm beginning to think you have an unhealthy obsession with my dick, Madeline. What with the way you seem to like talking about it. If you say please, I might let you touch it." Now I was sure Arjun was just trying to rile her up. How did she not see it?
"I wouldn't touch your dick with a ten-foot pole, and don't call me that," she huffed, swinging on her heels, and walking away. Arjun was instantly after her, no doubt because he took immense pleasure in riling her up.
And then there were two.
I knew the exact moment Aaron got closer to me. The hairs on my skin pricked, and I mentally chastised myself for how ridiculously affected I was by him.
My mouth suddenly opened. "Those two…crazy, huh?"
What? What the heck was that? I resisted the urge to wince. Something was wrong with me. It had to be.
Aaron chuckled, stuffing a hand into his pocket. "Yeah. You, on the other hand, look like you'd rather be anywhere else but here."
I groaned. "Am I that obvious?"
"Not really. But I've been watching you for a while now, so I can tell."
At that, I snapped my head up to look at him. Jesus, he was tall. I was 5'7”, and I'd never considered myself short, but Aaron towered over me so easily that my head only reached his chest. From this angle, I could see the five o'clock shadow on his cheeks and the little mole under his lower lip.
I forced myself to focus. "Why were you watching me?"
He shrugged, letting his eyes roam around the room. "I told you. You're beautiful.”
"Aaron—"
"Yes, I know. For some reason, it makes you uncomfortable to hear any kind of compliment about yourself."
I swallowed down whatever I was about to say. Nothing would make sense anyway, not without the full story, and there was no way he would get that information out of me.
My eyes looked around the room, searching for Maddy. She'd promised to stay by my side through the entire ordeal, and she was currently MIA.
"If you're looking for your friend, they're probably somewhere fucking."
I looked at Aaron. "How do you know that?"
He shrugged again. "Just a hunch. Almost like the one going around the office that we fucked the other day."
I almost choked on my water, then remembered it was still in my hand, unopened. "What? How?"
