“It won’t happen again, Mr. Hunt,” she says with a cheerful Texan accent. “The shop hasbeen real busy, but I called so you didn’t think I bailed on you.”
I grunt and hang up. She didn’t even sound remorseful.
“Who’s that?” Tristan asks.
“The florist,” I reply absentmindedly, looking through the papers in front of me. “Any update?”
“Yes, there was a heavy demand for alcohol last month but not enough to cover that large an amount.” He passes me another file. “Found this while digging. As it turns out, Jerry thebarmanalso works at some other run-down bar, owned by his brother. Now if I’m going to put two and two together, I can tell you where your drinks are going. I’d like to look into it first.”
I glance at him before nodding. “Get back to me as soon as possible.” I can tell he is already coming up with excuses for Jerry and I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt, until proven guilty of course. Tristan has such a soft spot for the employees. It’s why he is the perfect manager for me.
A heavy knock at my door makes us both look up. Bella walks in looking less than pleased. “You halved the expenses on the bridal shower?”
I raise my brow at her before turning to Tristan. “Would you excuse us, please?”
He looks at both of us before packing up the files and leaving.
Immediately after Tristan shut the door, she goes to say something but I raise my hand to halt her. “If you want to keep your job, don’t ever do that again.”
“I wouldn’t have to if you would just give me the respect I’m due.Changing thebudget is not something you just do without running it by me. I’m the wedding planner, not you!”
“You were taking too long, so I did your job for you.”
“You are insufferable!” she screams. Her barrage of words is halted at the sound of my door opening. Samantha looks between Bella andme.
“Yes, Samantha?”
She clears her throat awkwardly. “Just wanted to say goodnight boss, before clocking out for the day.”
I look at my watch. Time flew by fast. The florist is still not here. I grunt. “Goodnight.”
Once she closes the door I turn to Bella. “I would appreciate it if you would lower your voice.”
“And I would appreciate it if you let me work in peace,” she snaps back. “I get that we fucked and you want to move past it, but thisistoo far. You act like you have a vendetta against me.”
I shoot up from my seat at her words. “Miss Ortiz!”
“What? Are you so embarrassed by what happened? It was a mistake,but you don’t need to take it out on me. I was also drunk that day.”
“Bella, stop,” I say lowly. But she continues talking and gesticulating. Of their own free will my legs move till I am in front of her.
She glares up at me. “What?!”
I bend down and snatch her lips with mine immediately. I kiss her intensely, pouring my anger and frustration into it. “What are you doing to me?” I groan.
She looks at me stunned, then drags me down by my shirt and kisses me deeply. I growl with satisfaction.
I kiss heras ifmy life depends on it. She understands the assignment and pulls me closer, returning the kiss with as much fervor. I move to her neck and she moans loudly. “You like that, don’t you?”
“Yes, yes,” she says and I happily oblige her.
I pull her blouse up and drop to my knees. Starting from her belly button I leave a hot trail of kisses, pushingtheskirt down to give me more access. She hasred silk panties, and I get hard just by looking at them. I yank the skirt down for a better view.
She looks down at my groin before saying, “I’m wet already.”
I hesitate. “I don’t have a condom with me.” I can smell her arousal from here and it is driving me crazy.
"Do you not trust yourpull-outgame?" she says with a sly smile.
