“Anything else you would like to buy?”
“You.”
I laughed right in his face and shook my head at him. “I won’t be one of your paid off women.”
The wide grin spread across his face, and it sent that same excitement through me I had last night at his longing look of lust.
Reaching in his pocket, he pulled out a business card. “My club is opening in a month. I’d love to see you there and bring a friend.” Esteban didn't wait for an answer. He simply grabbed the books off the counter and left. I flipped the card over and back to the front. “Esteban Munoz, CEO and Owner of Munoz industries,” I muttered.
The feeling of emptiness left behind was startling, like I wanted the chase and needed his focus to be on me. A man I barely knew and only met for a brief second held a lot of space in my mind and surprisingly, my heart. Finishing off the task of restocking the shelves, I put Esteban Munoz out of my mind and completed the rest of my shift.
Chapter 2
Esteban
The typical day for me was fielding calls and meetings about my businesses around the world. My father built a company that handled everything from the tech industry to nightlife. I couldn’t concentrate on listening to the head of the design team because my mind was held hostage by her. For the past month, I’d staked out her apartment, job, and places she liked to hang out. Doing a background check and finding out her last relationship was three years ago worked in my favor. Even if she was with him now, it would not last once I made my intentions known. People could call me a stalker for watching her and wanting to know everything about her. My goal was to know what made her tick, how she thought, what motivated her. Everything that was Emersyn Randolph had every piece of my mind occupied, from her short thick frame, curvy hips, and full lips, up to her round, shapely brown eyes. Her small button nose, even her delicate ears with the three rings on each side that showed her personality. Her smooth, chestnut brown skin intrigued me the most and I wanted the taste of her in my mouth. At my height of five-eleven to her five-five, I could picture lifting her and eating her pussy until she passed out.
“Boss, what do you think?” Sonda, the lead designer of our apps, interrupted my thoughts.
Running a hand down my face, I exhaled a breath, thoughts of how Emersyn tasted still lingering.
I threw my hand up. “Fine, test it out.”
All eyes went around the room in shock. I normally was a hard ass on everyone, but today Emersyn somehow made me calm from the small interaction we’d had, and I wanted to be in her presence again. I knew her friends and where they hung out because her friends hung out with my associates, even though we’ve never been in the same place together. I knew of her, and she’d never met me before nor had the other girls.
“All right, you heard the man. Let's test it out.” Sonda’s clapping brought me back to the meeting.
I needed to stay focused. Getting my next venture up and making money was my only goal. “How is the work coming for Passions? Are we on track for the grand opening?”
“Yes, sir. I spoke with the accountant and the numbers are looking good,” my assistant, Benita, relayed. She crossed her legs and leaned forward, showing off her cleavage. I could admit many times I wanted to take her up on her offer of sleeping together, but my father taught me the biggest mistake a man can make was mixing business with pleasure.
“Good. Send over the updates, and Benita? Make sure you pick up a better wardrobe that covers up your skin. I wouldn't want you giving off the wrong impression.”
Poking her lip out, she waited as the last person walked out of the conference room and glared at me. “Why do you continue to dismiss me, Esteban?” she demanded, stomping her feet.
I stuffed my hands in my pants pockets. “You were hired to do a job, nothing more.”
“You’ve slept with other employees here.”
“Who?”
Her mouth opened and closed. “Well, the girls have talked.”
I gestured around the room. “Have I said who I’ve slept with at my company?”
She lowered her eyes, still pouting. “No,” she mumbled under her breath.
“Then it shouldn’t matter what some gossiping group has told you. Besides, I would never sleep with you.”
Air eked from her throat, as shock swept across her face. “Why not?”
“Because you can’t keep your mouth closed long enough to even suck my dick.” I marched out, headed back to my office, and was pissed I had to deal with another one of her tantrums. The only woman who could get my attention and have me apologizing was Emersyn Randolph, with the chestnut brown skin, long wavy curls, and full lips. Slamming the door behind me, I slouched down into the seat. I logged into my camera app and focused on Emersyn at work. The smile on her face gave me pause as she laughed at something the guy in front of her said. Biting my lip, I had to control my temper and not go find him and kick his ass like the last guy she went on a date with. Some idiot she had dinner with two months ago who expected to get sex. After she broke up with him, I followed him home and gave him a little message about staying away from what belonged to me. Emersyn didn’t know it yet, but she was my future wife and I planned on making sure her every want and need was fulfilled when she became Mrs. Munoz. Wrapping up the details of the Passions club opening, I replied to some emails and read over a possible business idea when the door opened. Benita stood in the doorway holding a tight smile.
“Esteban, I have your next meeting here.” She stepped to the side, and Remington Falls stepped forward, stretching a hand toward me. We had become friends after I donated to his campaign. I liked what I had learned about his policies and how he wanted to clean up the city. We’d had a love for cigars, and he introduced me to the billionaire boys’ club that his friend, Gerald, owned. After going through extensive background checks and becoming an official member, we often ran in the same circles in business and politics.
“Take a seat,” I offered, sliding close to my desk.
“Do you need anything to drink, Mr. Senator?” Benita checked, standing too close to Remington. Normally I would fire someone for their constant flirting. Unfortunately, Benita was good at her job and kept things running when I wasn’t around.
