And the thing is, I know I’m the full package. At least, in terms of what most women look for. I’ve been told many times over by women that I’m handsome, smart, filthy rich…the things most women want in a man. And I get it. Those things come with power, and so many women want a powerful man…
But I’m falling for a powerful woman. I can just tell. Lucy isn’t just any woman, no ordinary person at all. She’s a force to be reckoned with. So does she want the same things in a man as other women do? Or will she see me as competition?
I like the idea that we’re on equal playing fields. That someday, she’ll be every bit as powerful as I am. She’s only twenty-one, so the fact that she’s already so confident tells me that she’s on the right path. And when she finds her feet, she’ll be up on a pedestal too.
I like the idea of the two of us, side by side, conquering the world just because we can.
Now, I just have to figure out if that’s what she wants too.
Thinking about her is getting me all riled up. My cock is rock hard in my pants, desperate to be inside her tight little pussy. I groan at the thought, glad that my desk will hide my desire from her when she arrives. I don’t want to show her the effect she has on me just yet. I want to play this cool, when actually, she’s driving me wild, sending me into overdrive.
I’ve got one chance to show her that we’re meant to be together so I need to make it count.
When I hear a knock on my office door I know instantly it must be her. She’s a little early, which I like. She’s keen to prove herself, and it’s a sexy quality that I can’t ignore. Just another reason to be obsessed with this enigmatic woman.
“Come in.” I try to compose myself. But the second she walks in, I have to hold myself back once again. She looks so damn good.
She’s wearing a tight pencil skirt and a blouse, both of which accentuate her beautiful curves. Her hair is loose around her shoulders and her brilliant green eyes sparkle with something that looks to me like desire and mischief.
I stare at her, unable to tear my eyes away.
This woman is going to be the end of me.
“Good morning, sir,” she purrs, taking the seat opposite my desk. I don’t respond for a moment, just watch her hungrily. Does she have any idea what she’s doing to me? Does she know how hard she’s making it for me to act professionally?
“Good morning, Lucy. It’s good to see you,” I say gruffly.
It’s been less than a minute since she entered the room and I can confirm that today is going to be long and torturous. Every second that passes where I’m not with her, making her sweet body mine is a moment wasted. I wish I could just bend her over my desk and take her, but patience is a virtue. There’s a right way to do this, and that means waiting a little longer.
“Where shall we begin today?” she asks, crossing one leg over the other and revealing a delicious amount of skin. I groan quietly to myself. This is impossible. I can’t concentrate with her displaying herself in front of me like this. She probably doesn’t even realize what she’s doing, which makes me ten times harder.
She’s sexy without even trying.
“Well, for starters, I’d like to ask what you’re doing this evening?” I spit out.
She blinks, surprise evident on her face. She wasn’t expecting that.
“Um…nothing. I don’t have any plans.”
“Good. Then I hope you’ll accompany me to dinner. I’d love to spend some time with you and discuss your future. Like I said yesterday, I see a lot of potential in you. Perhaps after your internship is over, you’ll consider working here full time. So I want to know what your aspirations are and see if you’re a good fit for Callaghan Industries.” I’m almost convincing.
“Well…of course! I’d be happy to go to dinner with you, but I don’t really have any money…or anything to wear…”
“It’s on me,” I growl now. “And you don’t need to change. You look perfect as you are.”
I watch a blush spread across her cheeks. She knows that I’m not talking to her as an employer right now. I’m talking to her as someone who wants her and everything she has to offer. She hesitates and I can tell she’s asking herself whether it’s sensible to play with fire like this. An intern and her boss, a scandal waiting to happen. But she seems to decide it’s worth it because she smiles at me, a shine returning to her eyes and it sends a jolt through my body. Damn, I love it when she smiles.
