Kelsey shook her head.Before she could reply, asking what happened to her BOGO service, she received a second message from Andi.
Your boss is a rock star.Have fun Saturday night.I almost wish I could be there to see him beat your ass.
Kelsey sat back.She was sure he’d be glad to know there was another member of the Nathan Donovan fan club.
The rest of the day passed in a flurry of calls, emails, discussions with Zoe and the Newmans about the upcoming party, lunch at her desk and impersonal, businesslike conversation with Nathan that left her feeling a little raw.
He was in his office with the door closed when she picked up her bag and took the elevator to the fitness center.
After twenty minutes on the elliptical machine, Kelsey hit the circuit equipment to work her legs and upper body.She used more weight than normal and forced herself to concentrate on her form, shutting out all other thoughts.
When she was on the final go-round, she noticed Nathan, his hips propped against the air-conditioning unit, arms folded across his broad chest, studying her.
She froze.Then deliberately she got back to her workout.
When she finished the final twenty-five reps on the ab board, he was standing next to her, holding a towel.
With a small smile, she accepted.“Thank you.”
“Take your time,” he told her.“I can wait while you shower, or you can shower at my house, either way.”
“I’ll do it here,” she said.
“Good.I assume you have your butt plug with you?”
She felt her face drain of color.
“Please put it in.I’ll check for it when we get in the elevator.”
“Do you…” She struggled to find the right words.“Do you always…?”
“Think about you?”he suggested.“Plan what I’m going to do next?I suspect you know the answer.”
“I was going to ask if you’re always planning to raise the bar and shock me.”
“You know the answer to that, as well.And the correct response is…”
“Yes, Sir.Yes, Nathan.Yes, Mr.Donovan.”
“There are no more words more beautiful than those.”
After wiping the back of her neck with a towel, she excused herself.
The idea of inserting the plug made her hand shake.
It was after hours, and she had the place to herself, but still…
The whole time she showered, she thought about his request.She wasn’t all that adept with the plug.But the idea of sitting on it, full up for him, as he drove her to his house and took her to dinner, appealed to her naughty side.
After wrapping a towel around herself, she clipped up her hair then grabbed her gear and went into one of the two dressing rooms, tugging the curtain closed behind her.She put her bag on the built-in shelf then unzipped it and picked up the plug.
“Kelsey?”
Hearing her name startled her, and she dropped the slender silicone plug on top of her bag.“Give me about five minutes,” she shouted back.
With a quick yank, the curtain was opened and Nathan stood there, large and foreboding.
“You can’t be in here!”
