“You’re…” I can’t form the words even though they’re on the tip of my tongue.
“I’m here, and I hope you’re ready. I’m starving.” He walks in brushes past me, his hand touching mine before he walks to my desk. He touches the flowers then turns that mega-watt smile to me. “You’ve been receiving my flowers.”
I nod, not knowing what else to do. I turn away from him and see everyone on this floor still watching.
“I guess spreading your legs is out of the question considering your office is made of glass.” My mouth drops open at his words, and I quickly shut the door so no one can hear what he’s saying.
“Are you going to speak, or do you only do that when I’m between your legs.”
“I think it’s unfair that you seem to know my name, and I don’t know yours,” I say standing taller getting over the fact that he looks even better in daylight. Fuck.
“You want to know my name?” I nod my head and he steps closer to me. “It will cost you.”
“What?” I ask to which the smile on his face turns into a mischievous smirk.
“A kiss.”
“A kiss...” I mutter, then look back at him. “That seems very unfair.”
He shakes his head and steps even closer to me. “I don’t see unfairness in it, at all.” His hand reaches up and touches my arm with light feathery strokes. “I see the advantage.” He’s so close to me now if I leaned in just an inch I could touch my lips to his.
“I’m at work,” I say stepping away from him. I’m afraid of what I’ll let him do.
“I’ll wait.” He steps around me and sits on my white couch near my office door.
“You’re going to wait here?” I ask him.
He nods and pulls out his cell as he looks over at me. “I can work while I wait. I know you’re worth waiting for, Red.”
Vicki steps inside my office without knocking. She stops when she notices the man on the couch and visibly pauses. It takes her longer than I like for her to look away at me.
“You have a conference call in room 207.” She grips the handle and looks back at him. “And you are?” she asks in a sweeter voice than she’s ever given me.
He looks past her at me. “I’m here for her.” He nods his head to me then looks back at her.
“Are you sending the flowers?”
He smiles as he nods his head. She curses then walks out.
“I wish you wouldn’t have told her that.” I pick up my notes for my next meeting as I go to follow her out, but I pause stopping to gaze at how good he looks sitting in my office. “You can leave as well.” He just smirks as I walk off. I have no doubt he isn’t going anywhere. He seems to be a man that gets what he wants.He’s sitting exactly where I left him when I come back, so I take a deep breath when I open the door seeing Vicki sitting across from him laughing at something he says. She stands when she sees me and instantly walks out and I shut the door behind her.
“So you’re a boss.” He nods his head. “I see it,” he says as his eyes roam me.
“If you aren’t going to tell me your name, I think it’s best you leave.” His foot taps as he shakes his head.
“It doesn’t work like that, and your very friendly staff member just told me you finish work now anyway. So, what will it be Red? Kiss here or in private? Because we both know how worked up you get.” I hate he knows that about me. But I also remember the way he tastes and the way he made me feel like I was someone’s ten as well.
“You can walk me out.” He stands as I collect my things including my coffee then he offers me his arm. A lot of the staff have already left, and there’s only a few left in the building. Vicki being one of them is watching us with intent.
“What did you say to her?” I ask as we get to the elevator.
Pushing the button, he turns to face her then looks sideways at me. “She wanted to know who I was to you.”
Of course, she did.
“What did you say?”
“Don’t worry, I knew what kind of person she is the minute she walked in after you left. All I simply told her was I was here to fuck you.” The coffee I put to my lips splutters everywhere all down my beautiful white blouse. I wipe at it as the doors open, and he places his hand on the small of my back pushing me in.
I look up to see him smiling at me.
