“The door isn’t locked.”
“Makes this even more exciting.” He captures my giggle with his mouth.
“Well, if you’re lucky, I’ll cook it for you in nothing but an apron.”
“After the birthday present you already gave me, that feels like too much covering. I vote for one of my silk ties.”
God, I love him. “Hmmm. Maybe. What’s in it for me if I do?”
“I’ll let you choke on my cock, as it seems you very much enjoy it.”
He raises his hand and glides his thumb along my bottom lip. Heat spreads across my cheek. My little act on Saturday turned out to be a huge success. Not only did Theo love it, but surprisingly, so did I.
A giggle escapes my lips. I reach down, brushing his growing erection. “Mmm. . . tell me more.”
“Or I can show you. Lock the door.” His eyes darken while mine light up. I offer him a sweet smile. “As you wish, Mr. Monroe.”
He tries to grab for me, but I shuffle away, avoiding his hands, and make my way to the door. As soon as I reach for the knob, it turns on its own and opens to the man I saw the other day entering Theo’s office.
I look from the man to Theo. His face is suddenly blank. “What are you doing here?”
“I came to see my son, of course. See how things are running around here.”
His son? This is Theo’s father? I smile and extend my hand. “Hello, Mr. Monroe. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Fay, Theo’s executive—”
“I know who you are.” His tone is clipped. He doesn’t acknowledge my gesture, his stare cold. I slowly lower my hand. “What kind of meeting were you two having? I’d love to sit in on it.” I don’t know what it is, but the way he stares at me makes me uncomfortable.
“We were done. Fay, you can leave.”
“Sure, did you want me to bring you two any—”
“I said get out. Don’t you listen? I don’t pay you to question me.”
I flinch at his sharp tone. “I wasn’t. I was just—never mind.” I turn and hurry out of his office, not missing the smug look on his father’s face.
Theo
“Well, what a way to speak to your staff.” My father laughs.
I storm to my desk and sit, digging my heels into the ground. The way she looked at me after I spoke to her like that. . . She doesn’t understand. If my father saw any hint of affection, he’d jump on it. I need to deter him away from any suspicions.
“When I pay them to do a job, I expect them to do it.”
“Fire her. Easy fix.”
“It’s fine. What brings you in?”
“No. Fire her. Or I will.” He turns toward the door.
“What the fuck are you doing here, Father? I assume it wasn’t to question how I treat my assistant.” I’m fucking praying it has nothing to do with Fay.
He slowly turns, and I release a tight breath. “I haven’t heard from you since our dinner. I want to know where you stand.”
“With what? The fraudulent land surveys?”
“The proposal. I thought we had an understanding.” Every bone in my body fights not to throw myself over my desk and wrap my hands around his neck. “Alana and her family will be dining at the Silverstone tonight. You will be there. It’s time.”
“I can’t.”
