I say, “He’s right, you know. I won’t bite. ”
Her shoulders stiffen but she slowly turns to face me. Her face is still lowered so I can’t see what she looks like.
I take a look at her body from the front. Decent boobs. Nice curvy body. She’s dressed nicely, wearing a white linen shirt and a high waisted grey skirt. You know the ones that are tight around the ass and get tighter around the knees?
Nice.
She’s also wearing a thick black belt that goes just under her boobs. The more I look at her, the sexier she becomes.
This somehow makes me more irritated.
I ask a little too firmly, “Can you look at me, miss? I just wanna ask you a few questions. Nothin’ to be worried about. ”
She nods and lifts her head.
Oh, Hell.
I fight the urge to roll my eyes.
Not a past fling, that’s for sure.
She’s cute. And flushed, I mean, really flushed. It kinda makes her cuter. Not just cute, but adorable.
And she’s petrified.
I have no idea why. I mean, I know I’m a big guy but I don’t think I’m that scary.
She has light green eyes that are unusual because they have a black rim, a cute little nose, and her lips…Oh, man.
Her top lip is full and her bottom lip is fuller.
Damn.
Using my foot, I pull out a chair and motion for her to sit. Thankfully, she does so without hesitating.
Who is this girl?
***
Uh, that voice.
It’s the type of voice you hear in your own made up fantasies. Deep and sexy.
I look up at Mr Beautiful and Wow. He’s actually even more beautiful up close.
Now that I’m close enough to him, I can see he has the same eye color as Max. He looks a lot like Max, too. I’m guessing they’re brothers or at least related.
Just above his eyebrow is a scar; it goes through his eyebrow at an angle and ends at the outer tip of his eye.
A scowl mars his face and he sighs deeply.
He stands up and walks around the desk, sits behind it and takes his cufflinks out of the button holes of his silk lilac shirt. Not many men could pull off looking manly in lilac. But he’s just that awesome.
He rolls up the sleeves to his elbows. I think he’s done this to make me a little more comfortable around him. I’m surprised that it works. The simple move has made him much less intimidating and I feel myself loosen up.
He sounds bored when he says, “I’m Nik. ”
He already thinks you’re a weirdo, don’t you dare freeze up now. It’s just talking.
