He’s over six-feet tall, hemustbe packing something incredible in his pants. And he gives me every indication he knows how to use what’s in between his legs.
“You don’t have to sweet talk me like this,” I scoff and notice he’s not laughing.
“I promised Ford I wouldn’t touch you.” His eyes drill me with a stare. “But he said if you made a move on me...”
“I’m supposed to be working in your office.” I breathe in and out. “Won’t that make things awkward?”
“I’ve never slept with an assistant. Too much to lose.” He takes one of my red curls in his hand. “Doesn’t mean I hadn’t thought about it. Not with anyone in particular, but the forbidden nature of it excites me. Of fucking someone in secret. Stolen glances. Swift kisses when no one’s looking. I didn’t go to that auction for a secret affair. But the idea ofyousitting at your desk, wearing no underwear so I can lift your skirt and fuck you hard, covering your mouth to keep you from screaming my name out loud leaves me breathless.”
“Oh my, that’s some fantasy.” My damp panties twist in my wet center.
“You just have to say yes, Bernadette.”
All of Emery’s auction relationships are temporary.
One month.
Cards on the table.
No one gets hurt because there aren’t any expectations of a future.
“I’m seriously considering it.”
Feeling flushed, I wander into the pencil aisle fearing we’ll set all the notebooks on fire.
I’m not even working for him yet, and he’s already planning on us having a torrid office tryst.
Before I reach for a pencil, his phone rings.
“Shit.” A snarl escapes his lips until he looks at the screen. “Yeah, honey? Great. Okay, I’ll see you later.” Turning back to me, he sees the assumption that he’s speaking to another woman in my eyes and smiles. “That was Jess. My daughter. Her mother’s limo just picked her up from New Haven.”
“You must have been young when you had her.” I take the long way around asking how old he is.
“She was born a couple of years after I finished college. She was a surprise. My wife... Mygirlfriendat the time, was getting her Masters.”
“You got married after you found out?”
“I did the right thing.”
“How long have you been divorced?”
“Ten years.”
Ten years ago, I was sixteen.Yikes.
“Does your ex still live in New York?”
“Yes.” His cheek ticks up. “With her new husband.”
“Did your daughter want to stay close when she went to college?”
“I wanted her at Northwestern where I went. But she didn’t want to be a legacy student. She got into Yale all on her own. And yeah, I’d like to think she wanted to stay close to home.”
“That’s nice that she’s just north of here inConnecticut.”
“It is.” He draws in a breath like he’s thinking of going downsouthon me. “Why don’t you join us for dinner? I hate the idea of you being alone.”
“It’s okay. I have Ford’s whole, big apartment. And after my date with Ashton tomorrow, it looks like you will be keeping me busy Monday through Friday.”
