She doesn’t say anything for several moments. Then she puts her nose in the air and visibly straightens her back. “Is that what you do with all of your assistants when you are done with them? When they no longer want to sleep with you? You offer to move them?”
“I told you before. I don’t sleep around with employees.”
The disgusted look she throws my way tells me she thinks I’m lying.
“Why should I believe anything you say?” Her voice carries more than a little malice.
Despite knowing that it is a mistake to get too close, I ignore the warnings in my head and walk over to her. I don’t stop until I’m standing directly in front of her, our bodies almost touching. She lifts her face to meet my eyes, her lips firmly pressed together. I can tell she wants to step back to put distance between us but doesn’t want to show any weakness. I admire her for her resolve. Still, I choose to ignore her insulting question.
“I’ve answered enough questions. Now, I have one of my own.”
“I don’t have to answer any of your questions.”
“Oh, but I think I deserve some answers. What did Dominic say when you told him about our little rendezvous on the balcony?”
“That’s none of your business. I won’t discuss Dominic with you!” Her face flushes with outrage.
“Oh yeah? It sounds like poor Dominic is still in the dark. So, it’s okay for you to mess around behind his back, but I’m a horrible bastard for cheating on Amanda,” I taunt. “And by the way, Amanda and I aren’t even together anymore. So I actually didn’t cheat on anyone.”
“Do you think I’m stupid enough to believe you aren’t with her after the conversation I just heard?”
“You didn’t hear what you think you heard. I can’t really go into details, but I have to play nice with Amanda. She is threatening someone I know. I’m trying to diffuse a situation.”
“Hmmff,” she snorts.
This woman is infuriating! Standing there, with her accusations written all over her gorgeous face, hands on her hips. I bet she thinks herdemure little skirt, blouse, and braided hair are a deterrent. That it’s a turnoff. But it only makes me hotter knowing what she is hiding beneath that prim exterior. The longer she continues to glare up at me, the more I want to grab her and kiss her. In fact, maybe I should do just that.
I must be losing my mind to think that she’d want anything to do with me right now. She’s more likely to gut me with a knife than to kiss me.
She’s making me crazy. That’s the only explanation for the way I’m feeling right now.
I reach out and touch her chin, gently angling it so that her face is just a breath away from mine. I lean in and whisper into her ear, “I bet I can make us both forget about Dominic and Amanda.”
“I won’t forget Dominic. He’s twice the man you are,” she says, her voice even, her body perfectly still. She’s holding her ground.
“I can prove you wrong, you know.”
“I despise you,” she says in a wispy tone. I feel her resistance falling away.
I tug gently on her ear with my teeth and feel her shiver in response. “All you need to do is say yes.”
She pulls back and tries to resist, but it’s a feeble attempt that she easily gives up on. She doesn’t want to admit to wanting this.
“I will never say yes,” she disagrees, but the yearning in her voice gives her away. Her hands move to my chest, making feeble and weak attempts to push back at me.
She wants to say no. Her body wants to say yes.
Continuing with my gentle touches, I nibble at the sensitive spot behind her ear and then make a pathway down her throat. She moans and wraps her arms around my neck as she pulls herself into me. The need to taste her, touch her, is irresistible. Afraid that she will stop me atany moment, I become more unhinged and desperate for more. I move to her mouth, and after a few seconds of insistent prodding, she opens to me with a soft gasp.
My fingers are aching to touch her. Running my hands around her body, I move them under her shirt to caress her back. As though they have a mind of their own, my hands continue their journey downward. I grasp her bottom and pull her to me, lifting her higher and higher until she wraps her legs around my waist. She moans in my ear, and I am instantly hard, wanting her so badly that I can barely stand up straight. With her legs wound tightly around me, I back her up against the wall and press into her. I push her skirt up higher around her waist so that I can feel more of her smooth thighs. My head spins at the feel of her heat against me.
I ache to caress every inch of her lithe, silky body. To touch her everywhere. I need her to want me as much as I want her. I don’t understand what she is doing to me. I draw in a deep breath to calm my racing heart, but instead I catch the scent of her, and it drives me wild.
What started as a simple kiss has me engulfed in heat, ready to burst. I hadn’t intended things to go this far. I only wanted her to admit to wanting me. Now that we are here, I can’t stop. I grasp her ass, desperate to be inside of her. I don’t care that we are in my office, and anyone can walk in at any moment. If anything, it makes me even harder knowing that we could be caught.
All I have to do is reach down and undo my belt. I could be inside of her in moments. She won’t object. She is as hot and ready as I am. I can feel her heat as she rides up against me. I hesitate with indecision, but her arms pull me closer. I can’t take much more of this. “Jake,” she sighsinto my ear. Her sweet voice breaks my resistance, and I realize I can’t hold back any longer.
Then I hear her louder. “Jake, stop. Stop. Stop, let me down.” The words penetrate my foggy brain. She struggles against me, and I reluctantly release her, confusion and desire plainly written on my face. It is then that I hear her cell phone ringing from the connecting doorway that leads to her office. I was so engulfed in her heat, I hadn’t heard it ringing. The spell is broken, and she rushes into her office to find her phone. Unwilling to let her go, I follow her into her office.
