Oh my God, that is correct, as I’m sitting in the big conference room on the floor I was supposed to avoid at all costs and staring at everyone like a deer in headlights. Enzo is sitting on my left, typing away on his iPad.

“Enzo?” I whisper-shriek. This day is so not going the way it was supposed to go. Not even a little bit.

“Yeah?”

“What the hell is going on?”

He picks up his iPad as if trying to hide our conversation from the others and whispers, “I have no idea. I was just told to go find you, tell you that you got a promotion, and bring you in here. That’s it.”

“Who? Who told you that? What kind of promotion? I haven’t even been here for an hour yet.”

Enzo is about to answer me when I feel the darkness creeping up on my right side, making it go cold and numb. I slowly turn my head that way, already knowing precisely whom I’ll find standing next to me.

“Thank you for your efficiency, Enzo,” the Dark Angel says.

“You are welcome, Mr. Locke,” he answers, and I try very hard to shoot many, many pointed, sharp daggers into Enzo.

He shrugs uncomfortably and buries his nose inside his iPad once again.

Landon slides into the chair on my right, and his presence immediately fills the whole room. Every head snaps his way, every ear is tuned in to hear him, and every female and somemale participants watch him with barely hidden lust in their eyes.

WTF?

What in the world am I doing here in the midst of them. Not to mention that this is an upper management meeting from the looks of it.

“Welcome, Kitten,” Landon leans in and whispers into my ear, and I can’t help but inhale his intoxicating scent while mentally beating myself up for that.

He’s an ass. He shouldn’t be allowed to smell this good. How is it fair for all bastards to have these perks? I shut my senses off, clutch my thighs together and say, “What am I doing here?”

“Enzo didn’t tell you?” He looks at me with that evil smile. “You have been promoted. Congratulations, Miss Ellis, you are now my personal assistant.”

Fuck me…

LANDON

This must be the most brilliant idea I’ve had this week.

As soon as Lexi stormed out of my office, it hit me. She is the perfect candidate for the position.

Granted, I don’t usually like to play with those who work closely with me, but the temptation is too strong. Just those three seconds while she was passing my door, were enough. She will become one of my pleasure givers whether she wants it or not.

I always,alwaysget what I want.

Alexandra’s beautiful, delicate face looked like she’s seen a ghost when I told her about the promotion, and I was expecting a fight.

See, I thought I got my little kitten with sharp claws figured out, so imagine my surprise when she simply presses her lips together into a tight line, picks up the iPad from the table, and sets up to take notes of the meeting.

I think my jaw just dropped.

Internally.

This is the most unpredictable girl I’ve ever encountered, and I was right; I’m going to have so much fun with her. So far, Lexi is an unpredictable whirlwind who doesn’t follow a single pattern I know.
