What was I saying about being an adult?
About not getting involved with this man who can turn me on with the simple caress of a digit. If this were a porno, Hunter would swipe everything off his desk in one quick move, then lift me onto it and put his face between my thighs.
I hate that this is not a porno. It’s reality. A reality where I walk out of Hunter’s office and forget what it felt like for my body to be worshipped by him.
I tuck his business card in my purse and walk out of his office.
On the way back to work, I buy a giant chocolate chip cookie from a local bakery and eat every bite. It’s the only guilty pleasure I’m allowing myself today.
CHAPTER5
Hunter
I glance at my watch. I’m an hour late, but luckily the boutique is packed, so Hannah might not even notice. I lost track of time at work. The designs for Premier’s up-and-coming project in Las Vegas hit my inbox right before five and I couldn’t resist reviewing them.
Making my way through the crowd, I greet a few familiar faces, before I reach the bar.
“Whiskey neat, please.”
“Coming right up.”
The bartender pours my drink while I scan the room. The crowd is mostly women, or couples. I recognize many of Hannah’s friends.
“Here’s that whiskey for you.”
“Thank you.” I pull my wallet out and drop a tip in the jar before taking my drink.
My phone starts buzzing in my pocket. It’s my mom and she’s trying to FaceTime me.
I answer only because I know she’ll keep calling if I don’t.
“Hi, Mom.”
“Hi, I’m so glad I reached you. Are you at Hannah’s opening? I’ve been calling her, but she’s not answering.”
I flip the camera so she can see the crowd.
“She’s a tad busy at the moment.”
“Oh my goodness. What a great turnout. Oh, I wish we could have been there.”
“It’s the soft opening. You’ll be back for the grand opening.”
“I know, but we hate to miss out on things like this. We always want to be there to support.”
“You’re here in spirit. And via FaceTime.”
“Pan me around so I can see the boutique.”
“How about I walk you around so you can say hi to everyone?”
She gasps in delight. “That would be wonderful.”
“I’m kidding. I’m not doing that.”
“Fine, but I want a full report. And tell Hannah to call me.”
“I’m sure she’ll get your twenty missed calls and texts.”
