“You are officially crazy,” he said softly.
“Don’t try and make me out as crazy. You’re the one stalking me,” I huffed.
“Think about it Anna. What information did you pass me about Allen & Smith?” I did think about it. I hadn’t even told him I was a lawyer, let alone anything about where I worked.
“I found out you worked there during the announcement—when I saw you.”
I looked at him sideways.
“Then how did you know my name was Anna?”
He reached out and pulled me onto his lap. I didn’t resist him. Maybe I should have. But I wanted to believe what he was saying.
“I didn’t know, beautiful. I just thought it suited you.”
My stomach fluttered as he called me beautiful.Damn you stomach.
“And you strong-armed the concierge to find out where I was lunching the day after we met? That’s weird.”
He nodded. “Yes, a little out of character for me.”
“Why?”
“Because I wanted to see you again. Haven’t I told you, you’re fantastic in bed?”
He grinned and then nuzzled into my neck and I let him.
Ethan
It felt so good to have her in my arms again. Too good. She’d calmed a little, but she seemed so stressed I wasn’t sure how long it would last.
“So it was coincidence? Meeting at the bar and my name?” she recapped.
“Yes,” I spoke into her neck, trailing my lips across her skin.
“And your firm’s take-over or merger or whatever of my firm is coincidence?”
“You think I arranged themergerso I could see you again? You’re not that good in bed.”
She laughed and I felt her relax against me.
“So that’s a lot of coincidences,” she mused, ignoring my erection that was pressing against her hip.
“Uhuh,” I mumbled and nodded.
She lay her head on my chest and I stroked her hair.
“It’s nice to see you again,” she whispered.
“It is? I was getting the distinct impression you were thinking the exact opposite,” I teased her.
She moved to look at me, our noses almost touching. “I’m sorry. It’s just . . .”
“Don’t, it’s fine.” I moved my hand to cup the back of her head and she leaned forward, just a fraction. Did she want this?
“Ethan,” she whispered so softly I wondered if I’d heard it in my head. “Ethan,” she said, louder this time.
I pulled her head toward me took her bottom lip between my teeth.
