“Take it off, and turn toward me when you do it,” I said, tightening my hand up on the arm of the couch. I was waiting for her to blow up, to snarl at me, to stomp out of the room, cursing me out as she did.

But she didn’t do any of that. All she did was gasp. All she did was flutter her gorgeous, dark eyelashes, her hands, visibly trembling, playing at the fabric of her shirt. It was as if she couldn’t quite will them to obey the order I’d given.

My cock started getting hard at her nervousness.Thatsurprised me.

Why would her skittishness in this situation arouse me? In that moment, I simply accepted it, too fascinated by the possibility that she might actuallydowhat I’d told her to do. And in the instant that I saw her fingertips, the painted red nails bright and gleaming in the light, picking at the top button, it was my turn for my breath to catch in my throat.

For a long moment, I watched her as she slowly undid each button in turn, revealing the paleness of her throat then her chest, then the teal lace of her bra.

“Lose the bra too.” I didn’t know why I said it that way, but I found I was enjoying barking orders at her. After all, in just a few days I’d never get the chance to do it again.

“Why are you doing this?” Her pretty brow furrowed deeply, her warm hazel eyes fixing up on me for the first time since I’d entered that office. “Is this just some kind of a…power trip? Taking advantage of the situation? Show me who’sreallyboss?”

I chuckled at that, actually appreciating that she’d caught me off guard with that question. “I don’t know why I’m doing it, to be honest. I guess I didn’t think you’d really do it.”

Her shirt was open all the way down to the waist, the lace of the bra cut quite daringly, clearly revealing the inner curves of her cleavage. She’d always been blessed with the clearest, palest skin, and now I marveled at it one more time. She truly was beautiful, but there was no way I was going to tell her that. She was probably used to men falling all over her, telling her so. Used to the men who didn’t understand what really made Eva tick.

I didn’t want to think about how many men she’d already fucked, how many bucks she had sniffing around her as soon as word got out that she might be back on the market again.

The thought made me more irritated than I really understood.

Where is that coming from?

Did it really matter though? This was the end, or at least getting close to it. Maybe now all there was to do was enjoy these last few days. If I was very lucky indeed, I might make a few happy memories before this was over. Even if by next week I’d have no one to share them with.

Maudlin much? You sound like a little bitch, Nick.

No, those days were over. And I was about to show Eva just how.

“You’re not done.” I lifted a finger, wagging it toward her. “I want the shirt and the braoff. Come on, stop stalling.”

This time she scowled at me, revealing two tiny laugh lines around her mouth that weren’t there the last time I’ve seen her. They should have been flaws, but they just made her look more…interesting. It was the height of irony that not seeing her for the better part of a year did such an amazing job at refining and highlighting, revealing all the things about her that drew me to her from the very beginning.

Just when I was about to lose her forever, she moved. A hiss escaped her tight lips as she peevishly yanked the fabric of her shirt out of the clasp of her slacks. Her bare belly was revealed, and I wanted very much at that moment to reach out and touch it, to delve a fingertip inside the warmth of her navel, to run the backs of my hand down the soft, smooth flesh just as I used to do.

She shrugged the shirt off her shoulders, the weight of her breasts jiggling slightly within the clasp of the teal lace. Her dark eyes, harboring an almost haunted light now, fixed up on mine once more. Her perfect white teeth nibbled the corner of her mouth, her fingers playing with the loose fabric of her top. Then she shucked it entirely, and it fell to the carpet.

“Nick, this is crazy. I don’t think we—”

“Take it off, Eva. You know the rule.”

Her eyes went wide for a moment, as if she was realizing that I really was serious. That I wasn’t going to let her off.

My cock throbbed at that possibility.

I’d have to come back to that—and soon.

“I hate you,” she said, her voice suddenly tight, a tremolo to its tone.

“I know,” I murmured casually, making certain she’d never know how much her words stung.

Bright tears welled in those hazel eyes as she flipped the catch at the front of her bra. Then at last, the bra fell away to either side revealing her breasts. Her nipples were coral colored and thick, surprisingly hard despite the warmth of the room. I wondered if she was afraid or embarrassed, or simply seething with good old rage. Her words seemed to indicate the latter.

I made her stand like that for long moments, as I took in the loveliness of her breasts. Though she was generally slender, her figure was curvy at hips and tits. Unlike me, she hadn’t lost weight since I’d seen her last. If anything, she appeared to have gained a pound or two. But it seemed it had mostly shown up in the even more generous curve and heft of those round, gorgeous breasts.

“Had your fill, Nick? Are youenjoyingyourself?”

“I want you to put your hands behind your back. Straighten your shoulders. And be quiet.” My cock was a steel bar now as I said the words. Her snark and the caustic tone of her reply only motivated me more, spurring me on to show her that the Nick she’d left months ago wasnotthe Nick sitting before her now.
