“I don’t need to sleep with anyone to get the job. I actually make a living from doing this. I have an entire company that relies on me. I have employees. What do you have?”
“I’m getting this job.”
He steps closer to me until his face is inches in front of me. My breathing picks up. I don’t know whether I want to slap him or kiss him. Maybe both.
He grins. “We’ll see.”
I grin, too, because I know, if Lily picks anyone, it’s going to be me. I’m more prepared than Carter. I’m better than him. I laid out a superior plan. And I’m more trustworthy than Carter. It’s not a fight between the two of us; it’s a fight to convince Lily to continue to pursue her career.
“And, as far as fucking someone goes, it looks like you are the one in need of a good fuck,” he says, glancing down at my nipples, which are hard because of him.
I roll my eyes. “It’s cold in here.”
“Sure it is.”
I glance down at where his cock is straining against the zipper. “I could say the same about you.”
“I’m always down for a good fuck, Victoria. Just name the time and place.”
I shiver when he says my name. Partly because I’m so used to him calling me Tori and partly because I love how he says it. I really need to find the off button on my hormones, or he is going to have the upper hand and take advantage of my ridiculous body that I can’t control.
He wants me, too. He acts like he is in charge, but I know that control will vanish as soon as I show up, naked, in his bed.
I hate him. I can’t really fuck him. I can’t give him the satisfaction of winning.
But I can make him pay for all the pain he has caused me. Carter doesn’t seem like the type who falls in love easily. So, it would be next to impossible to make him fall in love with me, only to rip out his heart. But I can make him lust after me. I can drive him wild with my body while denying him the one thing he wants.
I can destroy his career.
I can wreck his friendships.
I can drive him mad as he waits for a fuck that will never happen.
The door behind me opens, and Carter’s attention immediately goes from me to Lily. I watch Carter as he takes in Lily. While I’m all business, albeit in a sexy business dress, Lily exudes beauty without even trying. He forgets I’m even here as he stares only at her.
I thought he wanted me, but from how he is looking at Lily, it’s clear now that it’s not me he wants. It’s her. It only makes me want to hurt him more. I want to get this job and destroy everything he’s worked so hard to get.

Carter
The second Lily appears, I give her my complete attention. Partially because she needs to know that this is the type of attention I would give her if she became my client and also because, if I keep looking at Victoria, I’m going to throw her over my shoulder and go fuck her in the restroom. And, as much as I want to forget about my job and just fuck Vic
toria, I won’t. My career always comes first. Always.
My dick will get plenty of action later. It just won’t be touching Victoria. Logan would kill me, and she’s not my type anyway. Lily’s my type. I should focus on fucking Lily, but first, I need to land the job. It should be easy if Victoria is my only competition.
“Lily, it’s great to see you again,” I say, walking over to her and kissing her on the cheek.
She smiles sweetly, and her eyes light up. “It’s great to see you, too. Although I wish it were under better circumstances.”
I shrug. “I’ve seen worse. It’s nothing I can’t fix.”
She laughs. “Trying to sell me before we even get into my office?”
“Is it working?” I ask with my most mischievous grin.
She shakes her head but says, “Maybe. Come on in.”
