I expect her to refuse, but I am shocked when she says, “Okay.”
She never makes things easy. I’ll give her that.
“There’s more . . .”
“Of course, there is,” she mutters under her breath.
“After four weeks of turning in papers, you will then report your findings and knowledge in front of my staff and me. Consider yourself the guest lecturer here. Once a month. For the next eight months.”
“No. I shouldn’t have to do this weird . . . public speaking thing as well.”
“That’s fine. Say goodbye to the money.” I smile.
“You can’t take the money.” She raises her brow in challenge.
“Watch me.” I move to walk out the door.
“Stop.”
I do.
“Fine. I’ll do it,” she adds. There is no mistaking the bite in her voice. This is the last thing she wants to do.
Good.
I hope she’s uncomfortable.
That’s the whole fucking point.
Little does she know, I’m just getting started.
“I wouldn’t agree yet,” I say, turning back to face her. “There’s more.”
“Just spit it out.”
“I will require you to do volunteer work. It’s mandatory.”
“You win.” She throws her hands up in the air again. Clearly defeated and out of objections.
“You will learn, rather quickly, that I always do.”
I turn, leaving her standing there, still naked. I walk into my office and slam the door.
What the fuck was I thinking when I decided having her under my roof would be a good idea?
Keep an eye on her.
Pressure her to work for me.
And, I don’t fucking know, maybe not pressure me into looking at her naked body. Into spiking my desire to throw her on the bed and lick off the water.
Great. Now my dick is trying to break through my pants.
I’m never getting the image of Payton naked out of my mind.
