And his growling voice caused the hairs on the nape of my neck to stand on end.
“You really think me that petty and obtuse?”
I shook my head quickly. “I don’t know what to think right now.”
His face came closer. “I’m trying to save you from making a gargantuan mistake. Miss Bonnie is the head of my entire financial department as well as my personal accountant. You piss her off and she’ll annoy the absolute fuck out of me until I transfer you or fire you altogether.”
I giggled. “Sounds like you’ve got a crush.”
His hand moved from my arm to my neck. “You want to try that statement again?”
I swallowed hard as I felt his fingertips closing against my skin, and all at once I lost my voice. Heat slithered up my spine, causing my knees to weaken as his steel gray eyes danced between my own. His touch was searing hot, which made my heart stop in my chest. My breathing switched to manual, and I had to remind myself to breathe in and out like a normal fucking person.
And when I didn’t answer, he chuckled. “Good girl.”
I could have collapsed then and there. “What?”
His hand released my neck a bit. “I want you to be the quiet little worker you’ve been up until this point. I want you to suffer the way Maggie made me suffer and I want you to make sure she knows it. I want you to make sure she knows that her whorish actions have consequences that neither her nor you could have ever seen coming.”
My eyes watered over. “So, it’s true?”
He jammed his knee between my legs. “Awww, does it hurt your feelings that the big, bad boss doesn’t like you?”
I blinked them back because he sure as hell didn’t deserve them. “I quit.”
He released my neck and tapped my cheek with his hand. “Well, I don’t accept it. So, sit down, shut up, and get your fucking work done.”
He moved away from me before he turned his back and I swear to fuck, I finally understood why murderers had such a bloodlust.
“And be thankful that I’m paying you for your time!” he exclaimed.
Before he slammed my office door closed behind him.
I closed my eyes and drew in a long, deep breath. I slid to the floor before my knees dropped out from beneath me and I curled them as close to my chest as I could. Then, I buried my face into my chest as my tits rested on the tops of my knees and sobbed.
And I cried until Brit knocked on my door again.
“Becca? You okay?”
I sniffled and wiped at my eyes. “Yeah, just releasing some stress before I get back to work.”
She eased my door open. “I bring food, soda, and coffee.”
I snickered as I stood up. “Thanks, I really appreciate it.”
She slipped into my office. “Would you like some company while you eat?”
I nodded. “Actually, I really would.”
But, even conversation with the one friend I had made in this company did nothing to cleanse my mind. As I sat there, mindlessly eating my sushi, all I thought about was the way his massive hand wrapped around my neck. The way his breath felt pulsing against my face. Hell, the way his knee felt brushing so close to my pussy lips.
And as I reached for my coffee, I wondered how in the world I could get him to do it again.
