I can do this.
Yet when I round the corner and step into my office, I stop dead in my tracks.
Luca grins at me from behind my desk. He’s leaning back with his feet up, casually flipping through a manila folder I distinctly recall setting up for him before leaving work on Friday.
My chest heaves as I grip my coffee in one hand and my bag in the other, squeezing the ever-living shit out of them.
What in the fuck does he think he’s doing?
I want to strangle him and straddle him all at the same time.
Fucking help me.

“I took the offer,”I yell so they will hear my voice over the loud sounds in the pit.
Axel slides out from underneath his car, a huge grin on his face. “Really? That’s great, man!” He gets to his feet and wipes his hands on his rag before giving me a quick hug. “I’m glad you accepted. I think you’re makinga good decisionfor your career.”
“Yeah, you’re right. It’d be stupid to pass it up.”
“For real. Any sponsor is a good sponsor. Put ina good wordfor me. I could use another sponsor or two. Or fuck the woman there. Sorry, what’s her name?”
I stiffen at the mention of her. I’ve been trying to ignore my thoughts about her, but she keeps drifting in and out, and it’s driving me fucking bonkers. “Neveah Walker?” I say carelessly. Maybe if I act that way, I’ll feel it too. One can dream.
“Yeah, her. She’s pretty hot. Those curves, damn. Curves for days, bro.”
I don’t like him talking about her that way, like she’s a piece of eye candy or something. But I swallow that shit and agree with him. I mean, she is fucking hot. I’d be blind not to notice those curves.
It’s what I’ve pictured in my mind every night this week while trying to bust one outin hopes of gettingher out of my head. Let’s just say it didn’t help but only added to the growing problem by making me want her more.
“She is one fine woman. But work and sex don’t mix. No matter how casual it is.”
Axel taps me on the shoulder. “Ain’t that the fucking truth.”
I chuckle. “Listen, I gotta go. Let’s meet up for some beers later this week, okay?”
“I’m down.” Axel tips his head my way, and we pound fists. “Later.”
As I walk away, I’m left with one image in my head I doubt will ever leave—fucking Neveah Walker silly.

“Uh,I don’t think she’d like that. She usually has guests wait outside of her office. Why don’t you just wait in the employee lounge? There’s coffee, donuts, a TV—” The young petite girl talks fast, her voice soft. She introduced herself as Gina, Neveah’s assistant, letting me know she hasn’t arrived yet.
It’s almost nine thirty. Where is she?
Guess she’s not a punctual one.
“No. Thank you, though, Gina.” I flash her my dazzling smile. “I’d rather just wait for her in her office. Will this be a problem?” I keep the smile on my face and wink. She slides lower into her chair, her cheeks pink as she melts under my stare.
“No—I mean, I don’t think so, but—” She stammers as I step closer, her words gone.
“Thanks for all your help, Gina.” I wink again before I turn and walk over to Neveah’s office. Opening her door, I flick on the lights and saunter over to her desk chair.
As I trace my hand along the edge of the desk, an image of me bending her over it fills my head. My dick twitches in appreciation.Shut up down there, stay asleep.
