“I have two copies. I’m not sure if it is wise for me to watch them here, so I’ll do it while I’m at home.”
Damn, this was why my father kept this woman around. Not only was she the best executive administrator in the state of Texas, but she was street smart too.
“Smart thinking. We shouldn’t use the office server.”
Marge handed me a thumb drive. “I’ll take the first half; you take the second.”
“I know what I’ll be doing this weekend,” I said with a
jutted-out lower lip.
THE KNOCK ON my office door had me looking at the clock on the wall. It was after six.
“Come in,” I called out.
The entire room came to life when Tucker walked in. The smile on his face made the ache between my legs grow.
“Hey, you ready to go?”
I gave him a confused look. “Go?”
“This weekend, the lake house.”
Dropping my mouth open, I groaned while closing my eyes. “Shit! Tucker, I completely forgot about the plans you made.”
I felt like a complete jerk. The look on his face went from excited to disappointed.
I stood. “No! I mean, I can still go, but I would have been packed up and ready to go if I had remembered. Sorry, just a hella long day today.”
He’d shut the door to my office when he walked in. He made his way around my desk and pulled me closer to his body.
“Baby, you don’t need a bag because I plan on keeping you naked the entire time.”
I smiled and kissed him. His hands moved over my silk blouse, leaving a wake of tingles in his path.
“As amazing as being naked all weekend sounds, I think I’ll at least want to bring something a little more comfortable for the drive up there.”
“Lily packed you a bag. I sort of figured with the crazy week you’ve had, you might have forgotten.”
My heart jumped, and my stomach did a few flips. The fact that Tucker was so understanding about my job made my eyes fill with the threat of tears. I held them off and pushed them away.
“I’m so sorry. I’m working on a merger with another telecommunications company, one much smaller than ours. Trying to convince them they’d be better off joining us now rather than us taking them over in two to five years.”
He widened his eyes. “Damn, woman, it’s fucking hot as hell hearing about you taking over companies and shit.”
With a smirk, I went to cup his junk when I remembered the cameras. My hand jerked away like I was about to do something terribly wrong. Tucker frowned.
“What’s wrong?”
I looked around the office and whispered, “Cameras.”
His brow lifted. “Pictures?”
“Huh?”
Tucker shrugged. “I don’t know. I figured we were playing a word game.”
Hitting his shoulder, I replied, “I’ll tell you later. Let me finish up one thing and then we can leave.”
