‘And you did an amazing job.’
‘I want to stop thinking about them and think about us.’ He slid his fingers gently over her cheek, wiping away her tears. ‘Don’t think about our families—that will be fine, I promise you. The decision about our future rests entirely on whether you can bring yourself to spend the rest of your life with me.’
‘Wow. Well—’ As happiness finally flowed through her, Polly’s voice cracked. ‘That sounds pretty tough.’
‘You’re going to marry me,’ Damon breathed, ‘and, unlike your father and Arianna, we’re going to have a huge wedding so that we can invite all the people who have worked with you for so long, otherwise there will be a mass walk-out.’
Unable to believe that this was happening, Polly flung her arms round his neck. ‘I love you so much. It’s terrifying. Really, seriously scary.’
Damon held her close. ‘Then it’s a good thing that you’re brave. You can meet terror head-on, the way you did that morning in the boardroom when you stalked in wearing those sexy boots, looking as if you wanted to knife me.’
‘Did I ever tell you that you looked extremely hot in that suit?’
His laugh was husky as he eased her away just enough for him to see her face. ‘You think I looked hot in my suit? How hot?’
Polly gave a slow smile and slid her hands down his back. ‘Red-hot. Scorching.’
‘In that case—I know you have a powerful work ethic, but you’re about to be unexpectedly unavailable for the next hour.’ Ignoring her gasp of shock, he scooped her into his arms and strode out of the office. ‘Jenny, hold my calls.’
Jenny didn’t bother hiding her smile. ‘Yes, Mr Doukakis.’
Mortified, Polly hid her face in Damon’s shoulder. ‘This is so embarrassing. And I have work to do. I don’t want everyone to think I’m a slacker.’
‘I’m giving you permission to take the next hour off, Miss Prince.’ Still holding her, he hit the lift button with his elbow and the doors closed.
Laughing, overwhelmed by happiness, Polly kissed him. ‘Whatever you say,’ she said happily. ‘You’re the boss.’
