I thought for a moment about the selfless acts that I’d done in my life. And for one brief second while our eyes locked and my dick wasn’t out of control, I stored the memory of her face.
She shook her head as her phone vibrated on the bar. “I better go. Probably my aunt.”
“She’s looking after your mom now?”
She nodded, “For six weeks, right?”
I don’t know what came over me. But as she stood in front of me after we both hopped of the bar stools, curiosity got the better of me and I put my lips against hers. I held her firmly next to me and then I crushed my face against hers. I expected her to move, but she held still for a minute before she started to respond as my tongue explored her mouth.
It was a kiss so damn powerful, I felt tempted to take her on top of the damn bar. I did everything to remember that I was in a public place, yet my fingers started to explore her shoulders and the nape of her neck.
I felt so determined to hold on to her and not let her go. She couldn’t move even if she tried. It was a passion that I’d never known I possessed. I had never kissed, held hands or done anything affectionate in public.
Yet here I was, kissing my new virtual assistant, and then I felt a throbbing so hard between my legs that I had to pull away.
“Shit, I just shouldn’t have done that!” My voice was ragged and her eyes were still closed a
nd she seemed to be in a different place. As if she was trying to recover from the kiss.
“That won’t happen again,” I murmured, as I quickly got a twenty out of my pocket and dropped it on the bar.
She said nothing as I left and said, “Sorry.”
That was a fucking lie. I wasn’t fucking sorry, but I had to be in control. Especially if I wanted this deal to go through. I hesitated at the door as I was about to leave. But I needed to leave and just get on with it. Otherwise, I’d do something that I’d regret and I’d lose the best secretary that I’d ever had. And Craig would probably just chop off my nuts for messing with her and for me doing the one thing that I said I wouldn’t do this time. I really needed to make a phone call to Lenny and join that fucking club. Quick time, before I really do lose control.
Chapter Eight
Olivia
I didn’t know what had happened at the bar, but I couldn’t stop touching my lips. It was such a powerful kiss; I’d half-expected him to lift me up and fuck me in the bar. I started giggling like a schoolgirl as I grabbed my purse and headed out of the bar.
What was he thinking?
What was I thinking?
He was getting married to Scarlett and he was kissing me in public. I shook my head at the idea of it. It was only a kiss…
Damn, this guy just knew what he wanted and he didn’t mind taking it. I needed to tell him that I wasn’t the kind of woman that he could mistake for one of the girls in the office.
Yet I had a feeling that he wasn’t thinking that way. Otherwise he wouldn’t have left me at the bar wanting more. I wondered if that was the reason he didn’t even offer to take me home. Then again, it was a good thing, because I would have invited him in. With only one thing on my mind.
His photo in Forbes did no justice to the real-life person. The man was full of mystery, darkness, and intelligence.
Only a couple of stops on the subway and I was home, still touching my lips and thinking about him in ways that I shouldn’t be. Not only was he engaged, but more importantly, he was my boss.
“Good evening dear. I was just about to make some more popcorn. Would you like some?” Aunt Veronica asked with her curlers in her hair and fluffy slippers on her feet.
She looked as if she’d more than made herself at home as I opened the door.
“No. I was thinking that I would get some sleep. I have an early start in the morning.”
“Oh, come on. You need something to help you relax and I know that there’s nothing like a comedy and some popcorn to do that.”
I turned to shut the door.
“Oh I just thought: Have you eaten?”
I shook my head, realizing that I hadn’t eaten all day. I had forgotten the downside of being in an office, my time was not my own. Not like when I worked from home; I had this rigid schedule and I always made sure that Mom and I ate together. Today, I hadn’t felt like eating alone, but by the time I’d looked up most of the other employees had left for lunch or were eating at their desks. I’d tried to introduce myself, but no one seemed interested, which was a bit of a shame. That was the only thing that I had missed about being in an office: having someone other than Mom to talk to. Yet, today I wondered if things had changed and people didn’t do things like that anymore.
