Amy turned to him in the narrow circle of his arms. Their eyes met lazy. “We both have to get up.” She smiled faintly.
“Let’s stay in bed.” He kissed her chin. “All day.”
She rumbled an amused laugh. “Let’s leave it for the weekend, shall we?” Her hand strolled over his muscled arm.
“You’re too serious a company owner.” He commented naughtily.
She lifted her torso from the mattress with her elbows. “So are you.” And she kissed his lips quickly.
But his palm circled the nape of her neck and his thin sensuous lips kissed her longer, his tongue toying around.
She tried to resist, but his shameless tongue was too enticing. “Hmmm.” She moaned.
His other arm managed to bring her body entirely over his as she lost balance and fell without a choice. His hand spread over her buttocks, pressing it against his readiness. “Oh!” She exclaimed.
She lifted her head and smiled suggestively at him. Her hand went in between them to feel him over. She caressed him; he relaxed and closed his eyes sighing.
She took advantage of his momentary distraction. In a swift movement, she got up and ran from his king-size bed. He opened his eyes. “Come back here, you mischievous woman!” He groaned hoarsely.
Her beautiful stare on his, a glint of smugness in them. “A doctor would recommend a cold shower.” She turned and ran giggling and naked to her bedroom, leaving him with a comically vexed scowl.
As Amy forecast, there was a lot of work waiting for her when she arrived at her office, one floor above Mark’s. She was still running through CV’s for a secretary, which meant she had to do most of the paperwork for now. She kept her office room open so that she could see anyone who came to talk to her.
Chapter XVIII
Mid-afternoon she heard a rasp on the open door. She lifted her head absently from her laptop and saw Juan. “Hi, Juan.”
“Hi, Amy.” He looked at her a little too long.
“Is there anything I can help you with?” She asked politely ignoring his attitude.
“I just wondered if you’re going to run any survey concerning the R&D department.” He stepped in the room, staring at her.
“Actually I am. It’s a rather new area at MBS and we have to follow it up.” As he entered, she stood up, according to protocol.
“My concept exactly.” He neared her desk and rested a hand on it.
“If this is all, I have to...”
“No, there’s something else.” He cleared his throat. “I’d like to invite you for dinner tonight.”
Amy opened her mouth surprised. She knew he had an interest in her, which she respected, but didn’t reciprocate. She reckoned she had made it clear to him.
“I think you know I...” He stopped abruptly as he saw her embarrassed countenance.
Hands clasped on her bosom, she felt extremely awkward. She had this...thing with Mark and never gave it a thought as to how it’d be if they came public about it. Going public was never an issue for her; she preferred to keep her life private. She felt so absorbed with Mark and such a lot had happened. She should have thought something like this would happen sooner or later, but she dismissed Mark’s notion of exposing themselves when he suggested it. A hand came up to her cheek. She startled from her erratic thoughts and stared at Juan mortified.
“No...I...” And she begun to step back.
“I do hope I am not interrupting anything.” Mark’s steel-cold voice rang in her ears.
She looked at the ferocious flash burning in his stare and shut her lashes, previewing what’d come next. “You’re not interrupting. Juan was about to leave.”
Juan’s hand had fallen to his side, but he hadn’t wheeled to face Mark. He turned and left without sparing a single look at his direct boss.
Mark felt infuriated. When he came into her room and saw Juan there, so close to her. It was as if a Vulcan was ready to erupt from the depths of his guts. And it kept pressing upwards. “So?” His voice still cold.
Amy stared directly at his fury-ridden feline eyes. “So...what?” She lifted her chin defiantly. She reminded herself that she didn’t do anything wrong, not her.
