Who's the Boss Now (Managing the Bosses 3)

"Yeah. Paul, right?" Jamie turned her attention back on Gina. "What school is he from and how did he win the big prize of working with us?"

"He's from the University of Michigan, and he just impressed Alex and some of the investors he met with. The kid’s brilliant. Effin’ hot too," she giggled.

"The kid? I was thinking earlier that we really can't call him that. He's not far from our age." Jamie shrugged and took another sip of her drink. The only thing that would make the night better would be the promise of getting to spend time with Alex later, but that wasn't going to happen.

"He's twenty-three, I think. He's a total kid. I'll be thirty-eight this year. I'm getting old." Gina winked, teasing Jamie.

"You're just getting near your prime. I’m running hard behind you, but just not able to catch up just yet." She gave a cheeky grin.

"Why the interest in the kid?" Gina lifted her perfectly-shaped eyebrow.

"Just wondering what his story was. Is his office ready? I thought it was still under construction."

"No, it's not ready. I was going to see if you might be okay with me setting up a temporary desk for him in that far corner of your office. I was going to ask around to see if anyone might have space before bothering you, but I'm pretty sure everyone is filled up because of the rest of the construction." Gina rolled her eyes and finished her martini before working to stab the olive with her straw.

"That's fine. As long as he knows that I'm not interested in chatting all day, I'll be good. I have a million things on my ever-growing list from Alex."

"Just sit him down and tell him what you expect of him as an office mate. Besides, it'll give you something yummy to look at when you need a mental break." Gina bit her lip seductively.

"Not interested. Only one man has my attention, and he's stolen far too much of it as it is." Jamie laughed, finally allowing the liquor and good company to help her settle into the evening.

"Oh, nice. Do tell..."

Chapter 3

Jamie woke the next morning to the soft touch of finger rubbing her thigh. She jerked up to find Alex in the bed behind her.

"Sorry. I was going to knock, and then I reali

zed how nice it would be to just come in and snuggle up behind you." He gave her a naughty grin and continued to drag his fingers along her skin.

"What if I'd had a lover in here?" She couldn’t help but tease him as she dropped back down onto her bed. Her tank top and panties left too much skin on display, but there was little she could do about it without looking self-conscious.

Alex had given her enough compliments about her body to shut her up for a lifetime. No need to appear as though she was fishing for more due to modesty.

"Then I would beat him terribly, throw him out, and remind you why you belong to me." He moved closer, pressing the thickness of his erection against the curve of her butt.

Her nipples budded and desire burst through her. She whimpered and pressed back, rubbing against him as his hand moved up her leg, over her hip, and into her thin top. He dragged his fingers back and forth over her breasts, teasing her as his lips pressed to the side of her neck.

"Someone's needy." He licked at her ear, and she shivered and rolled her hips, unashamed by the truth of his words.

Maybe if he weren't so damn busy all the time, she wouldn't be so needy. Nah, she’d always be needy with the image of him in her head. "I've missed you. That's all." She cupped his hand over her breast and entwined her legs with his. He was in jeans and a t-shirt from what she could tell, but his feet were bare. Rubbing hers against the soft skin of his forced a yelp from him.

"Damn, woman. My feet are ticklish." He moved back and rolled her over, smiling down at her. "I have a surprise for you."

"Oh yeah?" She reached down and ran her fingers through his thick brown hair.

"Yeah, but first... breakfast." He growled and pushed at her shirt, sliding it over her tummy and above her breasts. He moved down and ran his tongue over her nipples one at a time, taking his time to bathe her.

"What’re we having?" she said breathlessly and opened her legs, making room for him.

"Not sure what you're having, but I'm having you." He glanced up and smiled seductively. His crystal blue eyes bore into her and the heat she saw in them left her wanting to melt into a puddle. "Stretch your arms above your head and hold onto your headboard for me. I don't want your greedy little hands getting in my way."

She laughed, but did as he asked, never tearing her gaze away from him. "I like this kind of surprise."

"No, baby. This is breakfast. The surprise is afterward, and it's not what you're thinking." He nipped at her belly as he moved to his hands and knees and shifted down the line of her body. "Such a naughty girl."

"Only for you." She lifted her hips, pressing her sex against him as he opened his mouth and pressed his teeth over her panties. "Fuck."
