“I’m impressed by your work, Miss Monroe. You show up here early before dawn and yet you leave late, which, by the way, is not necessary.” She loved the way Zack highlighted all her strong points and encouraged her as he did his employees. She thought she would be working for a boss from hell, but Zack was kind to everyone from the garden help to the garbage men who came to collect the rubbish. A true man treats all people in society well.
That impressed the hell out of Blue. The man was solid with a heart of gold and a body of steel. So…unreachable to her!
Oh, why couldn’t she ever land a good guy?
“Thank you. I just want to make sure I get all the work done.”
“You are very passionate. I admire that you only proffer kind words. I know some of the older staff members can be quite a challenge to work with.”
“I always give people the benefit of the doubt, Zack. Life’s too short to…”
Oh, God! That was embarrassing she lost her train of thought. There she went again. Why did Zack have that mind-bending effect on her?
Her eyes kept drawing to his sweet lips. They looked so irresistible. So…kissable. And his classic facial features. His perfect nose, his marvellous chiselled cheekbones and dark, lovely eyes that captivated her. Was this man even aware of how enchantingly gorgeous he was?
Stop it, Blue. Focus on your job. He is so way out of your league. Don’t even go there, girl. You’ll just be making a damned fool of yourself.
She remembered seeing clippings online of Zack with gorgeous Hollywood actresses, socialites and super models. An actress and super model, Blue was not!
“What are you thinking, Miss Monroe?” Zack’s silky, smooth deep voice interrupted her fantasy daydream.
“Um…” She swallowed hard. He caught her gaping at him, didn’t he? How embarrassing.
“Excuse me?” she finally squeezed through her nerve-tightened throat. She felt the color drain from her face.
“You seemed to be gazing intently. I want to know what you were thinking about.” He leaned back in his leather chair behind his desk. His hair shined as the sun shone through the windowpane behind him creating a divine halo.
She thought she could see his luscious lips curl at the sides slightly. Was he amused by her ogling him? Well, she was not one of his corporate groupies. She was going to keep herself in check and not give him that smug satisfaction.
She cleared her throat and drew in a deep breath, hoping he wouldn’t notice how incredibly inadequate she felt. “I was just thinking about the angles of the documentary.” Blue shuffled some of her notes in front of her.
Zack casually leaned back further and propped his leg up over his knee. “Go on.”
“W-well. I think it’s good that we center on the history of the winery and vineyard and the reason you decided to keep everything…contained.”
He nodded thoughtfully. A grin of amusement curled his lips again. “Was that all you were thinking?”
“Excuse me?”
“It seemed to me that you had your mouth open,” he said, his eyes dropping to her lips, which caused her to subconsciously lick them.
This was not working out very well for her. Blue had never been so hot for a guy like this and he was not making it easy for her. Was this some sort of test?
Have mercy. Please let me not screw this up.
All she could think of was throwing her notes on the ground, leaping over his desk, scattering his notes aside as she did so, and sucking the life out of him with a passionate kiss. She wanted to feel his firm body with her own hands and enjoy pleasuring him but she had to get her mind away from that all.
She clearly must have been working way too hard. She was having uncontrollable erotic thoughts about this man. It both thrilled and frightened her at the same time.
She could feel the sexual power from across the table. It was too palpable. Blue reached for a glass of water on the side table and took a long swig.
“If you’re going to work around me, Miss Monroe, you’ll need to get used to my…sense of humor. I often put people on the spot to see how they react. It’s good practice.”
“No, it isn’t.”
“What makes you say that?”
