I grow uncomfortable under his inspection.
I clear my throat and brush a strand of hair behind my ear. “You wanted to see me?”
“I did, but I needed a minute to admire you.” Another onceover. “You look amazing.”
“Thank you.”
He pushes off the door.
“Let’s sit down.” He points to the seating area.
I head towards one of the large chairs, but he stops me.
“I want you to sit next to me on the couch.”
“Okay.”
These theatrics are only delaying the inevitable.
The second I sit down, memories of the day he reddened my ass come flooding back.
My cheeks burn up in flames.
“Valerie, hold all my calls. I’ll be in a meeting for a while.”
Not good. Not good at all.
He sits down next to me. “I don’t want any interruptions.”
My nerves get the best of me.
“You don’t have to worry about me turning into a psycho crazy bitch.” I can’t bring myself to look at him, so I stare at my lap, playing with my fingers like a child.
“Look at me.”
I’m steadfast in my decision to avoid reading anything that might destroy me in his ocean-blue eyes.
“I said, look at me.”
Ignoring his command, I keep staring at my lap. “Beckett, I get it. What happened in Germany, stays in Germany. You’re the CEO and you have a company to run. I made a commitment to you. I will be the picture of professionalism in executing my role—”
“For the love of God, woman. Look at me!”
I slide a weary gaze his way.
“Your plan was to seduce me and then forget about me?”
I’m startled by his question.
“Wh—what?”
“I’ll have to get HR involved.”
Panic seizes me. “Wh—why?”
“You took advantage of me in Germany. You used my body for your own pleasure and now you just want us to be all business and shit?”
My jaw drops.
