My core throbs, wishing he’d touch me and remind me just how good he could make me feel.
But I also hate him right now.
His reaction was unfair and rude.
I will lose my security deposit and have to book the next flight home if I quit or he fires me, so I swallow my pride and attempt to fix this.
“I thought you said you needed a PA?”I jut my chin higher, challenging the powerful man who was putty in my hands—or his cock was—just a few days ago.
Fire burns in his globes as they drift down my body, then back up.Shaking his head, Bastian groans and walks behind his desk.Studying me for a moment longer, as my heart pounds, he leans one arm on the back of his chair.
Give me a shot.Please.
“I do.We are in the middle of an important project.Kristen, your predecessor, leaving was poor timing.I need someone who can work hard, long hours, and ensure the workload is taken care of.Efficiently.”
“I can do that.”I tug on my blazer, feeling hopeful.A smile appears on my lips as I add, “What happened in Vegas and all that...”
Sebastia’s gaze darkens.
“Right.Yes.Efficacy and discretion.Got it.”
He watches me for a moment longer.“Emily, if you breathe a word of what happened, you will be fired and sued.There are no privileges because—”
I sucked your dick.
“I get it.”
“And you are to behave professional at all times.”
How dare he!
“As will you.”I retort, stopping short of telling him that his eyes didn’t get the memo.They’ve been roaming my body since I walked into the room.
“Careful, Ms.Harper.That’s the line you don’t want to cross.Remember whose name you see on the top of this building and your paycheck.”
He lowers into the large executive chair, almost dismissing me as I force back my response.
This is definitely not the same man that I met.
“Six weeks.Then I’ll tell Julie it didn’t work out and she can replace you.”Sebastian picks up a pen and stabs the end of it on his desk a couple of times impatiently.
My mouth falls open.
“That’s...not fair.”
His brows lift.“Emily do you really think we can ignore what happened?”
I swallow.
“I can.”
His blazing gaze bores into me angrily, and I don’t understand why he can’t trust me.
“I can!Give me a chance.”I hold out my hands.“It was one tiny and inconsequential moment.No big deal.Truly.I could be the best PA you’ve ever had.”
I can’t read Sebastian’s expression as a shadow crosses his face, and he almost closes up.
“Fine.Then get to work.”
