I look up from the spreadsheet I’ve been reviewing on my tablet. “What do you need?”
She bites her lip and cocks her head. “A new dress?”
A small laugh escapes as I cock my brow at her. Glancing at my watch, I say, “Yeah, you’ve got time. As long as you’re quick.”
She yanks a tank top on over her wet hair and then drags on a pair of shorts.
As she dashes toward the door, I say, “Olivia? Aren’t you forgetting something?” I fish out the roll of bills from my pocket and hold it up.
She hurries over, grabs it, and then gives me a quick kiss. “Thank you.”
A minute later, she’s gone, and I’m still smiling.
When she comes back half an hour later, she’s in a mad rush to get the tags off her new clothes.
“Calm down,” I say. “If we’re late, we’ll skip the pre-party mixer.”
“I don’t want to be the cause of that.” She starts to bite the plastic of a tag before I clear my throat and beckon her to give it to me.
“New undies,” she says, holding out a ball of peach satin.
I pull the knife from my pocket and open it. She freezes, her eyes staring at the sharp blade.
Tags removed, I hand the clothes back to her. She shimmies the panties on, looking so flushed and pretty I feel like blowing off the outing altogether. I could hold up in a hotel room with her for days.
Olivia slides into an emerald dress that’s made of crisscrossed straps on top, which leave plenty of exposed skin. I like it. It also makes me want to put my mouth on her again.
“Green,” she says with a small smile. “For Ireland.”
Something in the way she looks at me tells me we are in a world of trouble now, because I don’t think I want her to go back to schoolever. Or anywhere out of my sight for that matter. The last time I felt this way about a woman was never.
“Can you zip me?” She turns to face away from me.
I stand and walk to her, hunger burning a hole in my groin. My fingertips drop into the dress’s open back so I can squeeze a pretty little ass cheek. Spanking her was every kind of dark pleasure. The way she arched and purred as I made her mine… fucking irresistible.
“Seems like you missed the zipper, Liam. Better try again.” Her voice is light, with a hint of teasing amusement.
My hand is slow to give up its exploration of her body, but finally, I force myself to. Plenty of time to play later.
When she’s zipped, she turns and smooths the fabric. The dress is sexy, but she’s sexier because she’s not trying to be. I’m not even sure she put make-up on, but if she did, it looks completely natural. Which I prefer.
She runs a hand over my lapel. The suit is expensive and looks it, which is entirely the point. I’d be fine hitting a pub in jeans and a t-shirt, but this is business and there’s a uniform.
“You are so handsome. Will I look all right with you? Or should I put my hair up, and maybe get a dark lipstick from downstairs before we leave?”
“And mess with perfection?No.”
That causes her to smile and slide her arm around mine. “You’re the boss.”
Truer words were never spoken.
CHAPTER4
OLIVIA
The nightclub, Neptune, has a large mural of people surfing on half shells with a ferocious-looking sea god looking on. The club's music blares so loudly we hear it from the street as we approach. Above the door, there’s a blue neon sign with a trident logo.
A bouncer spots us and waves us to the front of the line.
