Your Captivating Love (The Bennett Family 2)
Page 82
“We never really agree on anything. Except Vegas. Can’t believe Sebastian is getting married in six months, and you’re in love. It’s scary.”
It’s my turn to chuckle. Blake shuns commitment, whether commitment means a stable job or a steady girlfriend. Maybe a woman wouldn’t be so bad for him; she could bring him on the right track. I should put Pippa on it. Though, knowing my sister, she’s probably already made a shortlist of potential candidates for him.
“You have the g
irl; now make sure you keep her.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” I stare down at him.
“As someone who’s mastered the art of screwing up relationships, I’m just saying be careful. Also, not judging you, but you’ve screwed up plenty of times before.”
Since I cast so much judgment on him, it’s fair that I take some in return.
“Those weren’t exactly screw-ups. I wasn’t interested in making those relationships last.”
“I see.”
Blake opens his mouth, but a knock on the door interrupts us.
“Come in,” I call out.
The door opens, and Nadine comes in, wearing an elegant coat... And two seconds after stepping inside, she drops the coat to the floor. She’s stark naked underneath it.
Then she notices Blake.
“Oh, my God,” Nadine exclaims. Hurriedly, she covers herself with the coat again.
“I haven’t seen anything,” Blake says, turning to face the wall. Judging by his grin, he took an eyeful. The bastard.
Nadine’s blushing, Blake’s biting his fist to keep from laughing, and my dick’s twitching. Perfect.
“I thought you were alone, Logan,” Nadine says, mortified. She clutches the collar of her coat with both hands. “The security guard said all the employees on your floor have left.”
“I’m not an employee,” Blake chimes in. “He wasn’t there when I came into the building. Anyway, I’m leaving now.”
Nadine flattens herself against the wall as Blake heads to the door. She stares at a spot on the carpet the entire time. He doesn’t wipe off his smile, but at least he has the decency not to joke about it in front of her.
Nadine covers her face with her palms after he leaves. “I’m never going to be able to look Blake in the eyes again.”
I walk up to her, lying through my teeth. “He didn’t see anything.”
She peeks at me between her fingers. “You’re lying.”
“Fine, I am. Let’s forget about him.”
“I can’t believe this. The first time I was in this building, I soaked my dress and shoved my boobs in your face, and now—”
“Shh,” I say, fighting not to laugh.
When she still doesn’t take her hands off her face, I kiss her forehead softly. She smells like oranges, as usual. I’ve never had her smell in my office. It feels good. “I appreciated the view very much. Both times.” I lower my fingers to her collar, but Nadine slaps my hand. Taking a deep breath, she looks up at me. She’s adorable.
“I’m not ready to be naked in your office right now.”
I grin. “Okay. I want you to be comfortable.”
I walk over to my desk, slumping in my seat. She glances around the office with curious eyes, finally joining me behind the desk, leaning against the counter. Knowing that she’s naked underneath the coat makes me so aroused I can barely think straight.
Still, I try.
