I glance over at Maya who is taking control of the conversation now. I can see that Bennett likes her. I knew he would. She's personable. She's witty and smart. The kind of smart that powerful men like. The kind that can hold her own.
I start thinking back to how good her body felt in my hands in the elevator.
The way her curves fit perfectly in my hands...
The way her eyes lit up when I touched her...
The way she moaned as I kissed her...
Maybe there is something between us that could be explored further. If only we had the freedom to do it without anyone finding out.
Maybe... just maybe, we can have that freedom.
Or can I risk something more with her...?
The thought fills me with a strange sense of hope and excitement. The kind I haven't felt in a long time.
"I want to make sure that I understand what's expected of us for this project," she says firmly, not breaking eye contact with Bennette. My heart rate spikes as I watch her in her element.
"Yes. And Hunter, do you have the numbers from the Insani Project? I want to compare notes." Bennette looks at me, waiting for a response.
I take a deep breath and try to focus on the conversation, but my mind is still spinning from thoughts of Maya and I can't seem to spit anything out of my mouth.
Maya chimes in. "Yes." She pulls out a few papers from her folder. "Here are the numbers from the Insani project." She hands them to Bennett.
She just saved my ass. She knows I'm a fucking mess over here right now.
I clear my throat and finally manage to say something. "Correct." I glance over at Maya who gives me a subtle smile before looking back at Bennett.
She is captivating. I can sense the power she has over me and it terrifies me. My doubts start to fade away as I sit there watching her, admiring her strength and courage. It's sexy.
I want to bend her over that desk right now and take her. My mind starts going there again, uncontrollably. But Bennette looks up from his papers and interrupts my dirty thoughts.
"Well, that seems to be all. We'll go over the details once I get the reports back from the team."
He stands up and starts gathering his things as everyone else follows suit. Maya gets her things together, avoiding my gaze as she passes me and walks right up to Bennette to shake his hand.
"It was an absolute pleasure meeting you, Maya." He smiles at her.
"Likewise." She smiles back.
Bennette turns to me. "Hunter, you've got a good one here. I don't know where you snatched her up from, but she's a keeper." He points to Maya.
All I can think about as he says that, is snatching her up and getting her naked again.
Jesus, this girl has got a spell on me. This is dangerous.
"I'm sure we'll be seeing more of each other." He nods his head before walking out the door and leading us to the elevator.
I turn my head to Maya and our eyes meet deeply for a few seconds before she breaks it and looks away. We walk down the hall and step into the elevator with Bennette and I can feel myself getting lost in her eyes once more.
I take a deep breath as the doors close before me, wondering when I'll be able to get her alone again.

MAYA
Iwalk in the door of my apartment and drop my things on the couch. I can still feel Hunter's scent on me, like a ghost in the air.
