“I can’t stand you either,” I said softly, tugging at his longish hair. ”I want you all the time, too.”
“What are we going to do about it?” he asked before taking one of my nipples into his mouth through the fabric of my bra and I moaned and arched my back.
“I don’t know,” I said honestly.
He kept me on the desk, teasing me, kissing along my neck, my breasts, toying my nipples between his teeth, until I was holding a hand over my mouth to keep from yelling.
When he finally shoved his hand down my slacks and pressed his thumb against my clit, I was wet and quivering.
“Magda,” he said, his green eyes dark with lust when he looked up at me, and I locked eyes with him.
“Roarke,” I responded, and then he fumbled with his pants and he was pushing into me before I knew it.
“This is all we have,” he said, almost mournfully, and something dropped inside me. Maybe my heart dropped into my stomach.
“Does it have to be?” I asked, and Roarke just kept thrusting into me, over and over, moaning softly against my neck so no one in the office could hear us.
He didn’t answer my question, and when he released inside of me and pulled out of me right away, I clutched at him.
“Roarke,” I whispered. “Did you ever care?”
I had to know. Ineededto know.
“It doesn’t matter now,” he said after a long moment of looking at me with those intense green eyes, and I choked out a sob. I slid down to plant my feet on the floor and he left my office.
I kept the door shut and the blinds closed the rest of the day, even when Marie knocked. I just ignored her.
I didn’t know what to do. Maybe Ishouldleave. Even if Roarke was staying, everyone knew now that Richard was my father and assumed that I got the job due to nepotism. It was everything I had never wanted.
There was another knock at my door, and it was insistent. I knew my father’s knock and I got up to unlock the door. When he walked inside, I shut it behind him.
“What’s going on with Roarke?” he asked. “I saw him lock himself into his office. He never does that.”
I burst into tears. I couldn’t help it. It might be a childish thing to do, but my emotions were all over the place. My father wrapped his arms around me and I cried into his chest.
“I don’t know what to do,” I whimpered.
“You love him,” my father said, and I slowly pulled back from him, sniffling, so I could look at him.
“What if I do ?” I asked.
My father shrugged. “If you do, you do.”
My eyes widened. “What is that supposed to mean?”
“It means I’m not stupid, darling. When I assigned you to the Martinez case with Roarke, I thought something like this would happen.”
I frowned at him. “I thought you assigned the case to us so that he would recommend me for partner.”
He nodded. “I did, but I also knew that you and Roarke are a lot alike, especially when it comes to work ethic.”
I bit my lip. “Are you trying to say that you did this on purpose?”
He grinned. “Call me Cupid.”
I stared at him. “So, you pitted me against the biggest shark in the firm all because you thought we’d look good as a couple?”
My father barked out a laugh. “I guess you could say that. It was more that I want my little girl happy, and my best friend seemed like a good match.”
