“I want to kiss you,” I purred, crashing my lips against his. I was sure the moment our lips connected that it would erupt into one of those movie kisses when it felt like planets aligned, but as I pressed against him, all I got was resistance.

“Nat.” Gently, he pushed me away. “No, not like this.” Fuck, rejection coursed through me. Why did I think someone as gorgeous as Alex would want me? I was a fool.

“I’m…I…I’m sorry.” I pulled back quickly, blushing from head to toe. Why did I listen to Milly?

“Nat, it’s…”

“No, it’s the drink.” I tried to walk away, but I stumbled and Alex caught me. “I’m fine!” I snapped. “Just go back to the party!” He looked torn. “GO!” I yelled, pulling away from his hold and storming into my room, slamming the door as I went.

How was I was going to face him in the morning? I’d thrown myself at him and he’d rejected me.

I was up early. Luckily, I’d remembered to drink a glass of water before I passed out last night so I didn’t have a mega hangover to deal with. The clean up crew was already clearing up after the party as I wandered toward my office with a few pieces of toast. Part of me was hoping that Alex had been too drunk to remember last night, but from what I could remember, he hadn’t seemed under the influence at all.

I battled all morning with how to deal with the situation, but the more I thought about it, the more worked up I got. He’d been chasing me formonths,yet the moment I made a move, he rejected me. Thiswasall a game to him. He’d been playing me thiswholetime! His words the night I arrived came crashing back to me.‘I’ll send her packing with a broken heart within three months.’It had been just over three months and I was completely besotted with the man. He’d broken me and I’d stupidly let it happen.

By the time Alex did surface from his room, I was like a raging volcano. He was going to fucking pay!

“You’re up early,” he called, entering my office. I had my back to him so he couldn’t see the pure hatred on my face yet. “I thought you were still in your room sleeping.” I didn’t answer him. “Nat?” He touched my shoulder and I flinched, the rage boiling to the surface.

“Don’t fucking touch me!” I seethed, spinning around in my seat. Alex was speechless. Clearly, he hadn’t expected me to react this way. “You are a fuckingasshole!”

“Nat, what the fuck have I done now?” He ran his hands through his hair while I stood up and pushed at his chest. “Calm the fuck down. What’s wrong?”

“You, that’s what’s fucking wrong! Youplayedme. This whole time you’ve been playing me! I liked you, Alex! I fuckinglikedyou! I tried to deny it, but I couldn’tdoit anymore! Then you reject me just like you said you would. Do you get some sort of sick satisfaction out of breaking women? Was Milly in on your plan? Oh yeah, you’re really fucking crazy about me! Well, fuck you! FUCK YOU, ALEX! I’ll get over this! I’ve done it before, I can do it again!”

“Are you fucking done?” That was his response? I’d fucking show him. Taking a step closer, I raised my hand to slap the smug smile off his face. I never got the chance. He grabbed my arm, pushing me up against the wall, and when he did, I lost the will to even breathe. What was he doing? I wasn’t even given a second to think before his lips crashed against mine urgently. I moaned into his mouth, wrapping my arms around his neck. Holy fuck, I was kissingAlex Harbour! When I moaned, he slipped his tongue in to meet mine. He let out a primal groan as his hands roamed the side of my body, gripping my butt to pull me closer against his growing erection. My hands were gripping his hair so hard it must have been painful, but he didn’t stop kissing me until we needed to come up for air.

“I didn’t kiss you last night because you were fuckingdrunk! The truth is, I wanted to bury my cock deep inside you the moment I saw you in that fucking dress last night, but I wasn’t going to take advantage of you.” Oh! How wrong was I?

“You did?” I whispered, still clinging to his shoulders. I wanted his cock buried inside me, too.

“I still do,” he smirked, moving to undo the bun that was holding my hair up. “Last night, when you wore your hair down, you have no idea how much I wished you’d done that for me and not that prick in a suit.” My hair tumbled down my shoulders as he spoke. “You are so fucking beautiful, Natasha.” He traced my lips with his thumb. I was a panting mess at this stage, wanting him to kiss me again.

“Itwasfor you,” I whispered, unable to meet his gaze. That was all it took. His lips were fierce against mine again in a heartbeat. His hands explored my body greedily and roughly. I couldn’t get enough of feeling his hands on me.

“I want to take you up to my bedroom, but you can say no,” he breathed against my mouth. Why the hell would I say no?

“I want to,” I groaned, pulling on his pouty bottom lip with my teeth. Shit, I could kiss these lips all day.

“You go first. We don’t want everyone talking, so I’ll join you in five minutes.” Were we really going to do this?

I raced up to my bedroom, quickly changing my underwear that I feared was almost ruined from our make out session in my office. My sexy red lace panties seemed like a good replacement. I brushed my teeth again and tamed my hair before putting on a long T-shirt. There was no point in putting lots of clothes back on. It would only be more to take off. I wandered into Alex’s room when I was done. He wasn’t there yet. Running my fingers over his metal bed frame, I took a long, deep breath. What was I doing?

“You can leave at any time, you know. Don’t look so scared.” Alex stood in the doorway in just a pair of sweats that hung really low off his hips. Oh,that’swhat I was doing! Having sex with a rock star!

“I’m not scared, just a little nervous. It’s not everyday you get to sleep with a rock star.” I gave him a shy smile, moving to the center of the room.

“I’m just a man, Straight Lace. Don’t over think it.”

“Just a man,” I snorted. “Yeah, right.” I took in his perfect form. There wasn’t anything about his body that I’d change. I wanted to trace every line of his tattoos with my fingertips and run my tongue over every inch of his body.

“Are you sure about this?” He was taking slow steps toward me as he spoke.

“Yes.” Why did he keep asking? Wasn’t he sure about this? “Are you having second thoughts? Do you not want to cross this line because I’m your PA?”

He chuckled, shaking his head. “No, I want you, Nat. I’ve wanted you for a long time.” I swallowed hard, watching his eyes fill with lust.

“Maybe you should just get on with it then,” I challenged with a smirk.
