“Let me help you. I’ll pay you to work with me.”
“Mr. Shaw, I?—”
Without thinking, I lean forward, lessening the distance between us. “Why do you insist on calling me that?”
Clara can’t seem to look at me, and I notice the fall of her gaze to my lips. Shit.
“I just—” she takes a shaky breath “—wanted to keep our relationship…professional.”
“Is that so?” I run my hand up her arm, slowly reaching the crook of her neck where the longer pieces of her bob dust her shoulder.
She’s soft, so damn soft, and my fingers tangle in her hair as I glide them to her face.
What am I doing? This wasn’t the plan. I mean, I do want—no. I…dammit.
She’s trembling beneath my fingers, and the rush of adrenaline from making her so worked up is intoxicating.
“What if I don’t?”
Her lips part, and I can feel the rattle in her chest as she sucks in a desperate breath.
“Hmm? What if I don’t want that, Clara? What if I can’t even imagine it?”
“Mis—I don’t…”
Clara leans into my hand, likely without realizing it. I reach for her bottom lip with my thumb, stroking gently across it as I pin her down with my gaze.
She blinks, her eyelids fluttering, and my dick is straining behind these fucking sweats.
Pain begins to pull me out of this when Clara’s hand comes to my side, and I naturally flinch slightly.
“Oh.” Her stare goes down, but I pull her chin back up. “I didn’t…You shouldn’t…”
“I don’t really care right now, doc.”
Swallowing, Clara looks up at me, frozen there in my hands.
My eyes break away from hers just long enough to roam over her body. Clara’s scrubs do nothing to hide the erect nipples behind her shirt.
Something about knowing how slight her breasts are but how full and perky those naughty little buds are makes my cock throb, aching all the more to be inside her.
“You’re safer here, Clara.” I move closer, my lips hovering over hers. “With me.”
She sighs against me, warmth rushing over my skin, and I notice her eyes have closed.
“We shouldn’t. This isn’t…We shouldn’t.”
Tension soars so high through the room, through me, that I’m sure you could string a bow with it. I’ve never been like this before—so damn hungry for someone that I couldn’t keep myself away.
“I’ve never been one for rules, doc.” I pull her closer, pressing her little body against me. “They really just get in the way, don’t they?”
The penthouse drops away. Hell, the whole damn world is gone right now.
All I’m left with are the desire to taste every inch of Clara’s lovely skin and an over-the-top, unprecedented need to keep her close—for as long as I can.
Then I finish this dance, crashing my lips against Clara’s, and to hell with the consequences.
