Sullivan leans forward and moves his mouth.
Jenny interprets words I’d never expect.
“We’re going to rehab.”
CHAPTER4
the plan
DARE
She’s doing it again.
That thing where she takes my breath away without even trying.
My fingers tighten over the contract we both signed and I pretend to peruse it when, in truth, I’m trying to regain my bearings.
I don’t screw up business meetings.
Inside or outside of the boardroom, I’m in control.
Once a contract is on the table or on a pool chair or a damn hospital cot, wherever I’m negotiating, it’s my territory.
My domain.
Except for today.
Because one look into Yaya’s deep brown eyes and I just can’t keep a single train of thought.
She caps the fountain pen and wraps slim fingers around a coffee mug. I watch her bend her head slightly to sip the coffee, perfect, maroon-toned lips pursing over the cup.
Sensual without even trying.
My blood runs hot.
She pushes back a lock of her long, straight brown hair that’s been curled into loose waves. Her jacket sits over a simple white blouse. Slender legs go on forever beneath a short skirt that’s just begging to be ripped off her luscious body.
She’s… magnificent.
The human embodiment of elegance. A perfect song. A sweet dream, one where—if you were ever woken, you’d immediately close your eyes again, desperate to revisit it.
Yaya glances past her interpreter and finds me watching her. Just like earlier, her throat bobs, a nervous swallow. She’s uncomfortable with my scrutiny.
But I don’t know how to do anything but look at her.
Study her.
Wanther.
My body aches so hard when she licks her lips, I have to adjust the way I’m sitting.
Two hundred push-ups.
And maybe sky-diving off the mountain to get to the car.
That’s what I’ll need to get my sweeping, irrational lust under control.
Since those aren’t options, I inhale a deep breath.
