He eyes me carefully, clearly expecting a different reaction. Unfortunately for him, I refuse to give him what he wants.
“Very well.” He grunts. “You better get to work.”
And with that, he turns on his heel, and strides into his office, slamming the door behind him.
I grin.
Evan might not know it yet, but I’m keeping score.
And that right there, is another point to me.
Chapter 13
Evan
“What’re you still doing here?”
I come to a stop as I step out of my office, surprised to see Anais still at her desk. A quick glance at my watch tells me it’s past eight p.m. The office should be empty now.
Anais glances over her shoulder, her eyes tired. “Copying this document.”
I frown. And then it hits me. I asked her to copy a nearly six-hundred-page document and deliver it to me today. In the chaos of my day, caught up in more important business, I completely forgot. A smirk pulls at my lips, as I cross my arms over my chest. “And you still haven’t finished?”
She huffs, turning her gaze away. “Ten more pages. Then I’ll send it over to you, yourlordship.” The sarcasm is thick in her voice.
I chuckle. The truth is, the document isn’t urgent. I only gave her the task to be an asshole, a petty move to push her buttons, after her antics this week. Especially after her not staying away from Eli…
Truthfully, I thought she’d give up, tell me to fuck off, that it would be too much for her, that she’d quit. But she didn’t. The stubborn little brat is still here, scanning paperwork, and proving me wrong. Again.
“Go home, Anais. It can wait till Monday,” I drawl, as I move past her desk.
She pauses, then looks up at me, those lilac grey eyes flashing with fire. Something coils in my stomach, shifting lower. My dick twitches. My eyes widen.
What the fuck is going on?
I’ve never reacted to this woman. Never looked at her in that way. But now, for the second time this week, my cock is noticing her in a way it shouldn’t.
“You better back the fuck down big guy,”I inwardly scold myself.“Otherwise, we’re going to be having words. You don’t want Anais. You’re just confused. It’s been a while since you sunk into a pussy. If you behave, I’ll reward you this weekend.”
“No.” Anais snaps, yanking me from my internal pep talk. “I started it. I’ll damn well finish it.” The look on her face tells me not to argue.
I sigh, running a hand through my messy dark hair. Before I can think it through, I pull out Janice’s chair and take a seat beside her.
Anais blinks, surprise softening her expression.
“What’re you doing?” she breathes.
“Waiting for you,” I reply simply.
Her teeth sink into her bottom lip. My eyes drop to the motion. Arousal shoots to my groin, hot and unwelcome. I tear my gaze away. Shake my head. Pull at my tie.What the hell is going on with me tonight?I’ve never had inappropriate thoughts about Anais. Never wanted to touch her. And yet, here I am. Fucking hard as a rock.
Anais Lauder made me hard.
Harrison would kill me if he knew. Hell, I have a good mind to chop my fucking traitorous dick off for putting me in this situation.
Anais sets another page on the scanner with a sigh. “Just go, Evan. I don’t need babysitting. I’m sure you’ve more exciting things to do on a Friday night.”
She’s right. I do. But I’m also not going to leave her alone, not this late.
