“Quit now,” he said.
“What?”
“Go to HR and tell them you no longer work for me. Think of it as a vacation until you start with Paige.”
I stuttered that I didn’t feel right about leaving without cleaning out my desk and finishing up my work, at least for the day.
“That’s one of the things I like about you,” he said. “And it’s super irritating, too. Fine. Finish up the day, and then promise me you’re not my assistant after five o’clock.”
How could I tell him no? I made the promise and went down to HR, then powered through the rest of the day. Jed offered to help me clean out my desk when I finally confessed I wouldn’t be back. He was my first real friend in the office, totally unbothered when I never rescheduled our dinner.
He laughed when I told him Eli and I were going to try dating. “Everyone could see it,” he said. “You two weren’t fooling anyone. Anyway, we go bowling with the art department on Thursdays, so I’ll still see you around.”
Outside, I was going to get a cab home as a celebratory treat, but there was a limo parked in front of the building, taking up all the space for a taxi to pull in. As I moved further down the sidewalk, the driver jumped out.
“Ms. Shandy, this is your ride.”
“It is?”
“Yes, I’m to take you wherever you want to go.”
I grinned from ear to ear. This had to be Eli’s doing. What a sweet gift, though a little showy for my taste. I certainly wasn’t going to waste it, already planning on picking up Ella and Norah.
I climbed into the luxurious back seat to find that the limo wasn’t just from Eli. Eli was there in the flesh, smiling smugly at my look of shock.
“How did you do this?” I asked, flinging myself at him.
He couldn’t answer right away because my tongue was in his mouth. I was like a wild beast. “Do you like it?” he asked when I pulled away to kiss his cheeks.
“Yes, of course. But you shouldn’t do things like this. I don’t need this kind of treatment.”
His brow furrowed, and he pulled me onto his lap, his arms tight around me. “You might not need it, but you deserve it and I want to give it to you.”
He wore jeans and a t-shirt, and I ran my hands all over the soft fabric, reveling in the feel of his muscles against my palms. I’d never seen him dressed so casually before, but I liked it. He was sexier than ever and his sweetness and generosity added to the ache between my legs that his gorgeous body had started.
“Did you already know before I told you?” I accused, running my hands under his shirt to feel his hot, smooth skin. I could feel his hard bulge pressing against my backside and wriggled in his lap.
He groaned and kissed my neck. “Yes. I told Paige to call me the second she decided and flew back to surprise you.” He held up his hands, which had been kneading my waist. “I didn’t have anything to do with her decision, just like I promised. But I never had any doubt you’d get it. I was already on my way back when I got your message.” His eyes searched mine and I put his hands back on my waist. “You’re amazing, Violet.”
His lips touched mine softly, then his kiss grew in urgency as he parted my lips with his tongue. I turned and hitched my skirt up so I could straddle him, smiling against his mouth as he moaned when I ground against his cock.
“I want you right now,” I said. “I missed you so much.”
He reached between my thighs and stroked me through my panties, finding my sensitive nub and making me throb with need. “What if you didn’t get the job?” he asked, kissing beside my ear.
I pushed his t-shirt up and he let go of me long enough to get it off. I leaned down to kiss his shoulder and along his collarbone. I really loved this man’s body. And what he was doing to mine.
“I was going to resign,” I said. “I decided before I talked to Paige.”
He went completely still and I leaned back to look at him, wondering if I said something wrong. His eyes shone and he had a soft smile on his handsome face.
“Really?”
I nodded and kissed him, my heart melting at the wonder in his voice. “I was going to get on the next flight to you.”
He gripped me hard around my waist and pressed his forehead close to mine. “I haven’t felt like this since… since before the accident. You make me so happy, Violet.”
“You make me happy,” I told him, pressing down on his rock hard shaft. “But I could be a little happier.”
