“No, I don’t.”
“You don’t?”he asked.
“No, absolutely not, there is just no way this can happen,” she said, but in the back of her mind, she wanted it to happen so badly.
What the hell was wrong with her?
Roman leaned against his desk, arms folded, and he looked so confident and calm.
“Let me get this straight.You didn’t like my mouth on your pussy, or how my dick felt deep inside your cunt.”
“You can’t do that.”
“I’m not offering you forever, Abigail.Think about it, we’re both here most of the time.We travel together.I have needs, you have needs, and we can make this work.”
She frowned.How did he make it sound so appealing?
“You do realize this breaks so many rules.”
“What rules?”Roman asked.“I’m not forcing you to do anything you don’t want to.This is not me telling you what to do.I’m giving you options.I want you.After last night, I know you want me.We could make this work, and we wouldn’t need to find anyone else to sate our needs.”
“What about work?”she asked.
“Nothing changes.We continue as we are, just at the end of the day, the moment I’m not Mr.Brown and you’re not Miss Gardner, we become Roman and Abigail, and your pussy belongs to me, just as my dick becomes yours.”
She shouldn’t be tempted, yet she was.
Dating was not an option for her.She didn’t want to do the dating apps, and the truth was, finding anyone willing to have a relationship around her busy work schedule was just never an option.
“I’m ...not what you think I am,” she said.
“You’re not?”
“I’m boring and I’m a prude, and I don’t know what I’m doing,” she said.
Roman took a step toward her, then another.“The woman in my arms last night was no prude, nor was she boring, and she certainly knew what she was doing.”
With him this close, she found it hard to think.She tilted her head back and looked at him.
“I can see it in your eyes, Abi.You want this, you’re just afraid.”
“I love this job.”
“And I would never take it away from you.You earned this role.It’s yours.Always.”
“Relationships are messy.”
“True, but you and I will be different.Aren’t you tired of fighting this?Fighting what we have?”
She was.Last night had been amazing.Even when he took the mask off, she’d been shocked, and the truth was, delighted at the same time.The reality of their situation only came to her when he went to the bathroom, and that was when she took her quick escape.
“Think about it,” he said.
He stepped away, and that pull was broken.
“Now, there are three files on your desk I need you to organize.Something isn’t right, and I don’t like it.Can you find it for me?”
“Yes.”
