Sebastian speaks as he signs my employment agreement.
“The first person you’ll meet today is Kenneth Thomas, my personal assistant.He’ll take you down to orientation.”
I nod.He turns and strides to his desk.
My eyes latch onto his ass.The play of his muscles underneath his trousers is way too alluring, and the deceptive ease with which he moves floods my mouth with saliva.
The door opens.I peel my gaze off my boss’s butt and freeze like a deer in the headlights.
I’ve seen the man standing in the doorway before.
Correction.
I’ve seenallof the man in the doorway before.
As embarrassed heat rises from my chest to the top of my head, I avoid eye contact and try to think of anything except my roommate’s mouth on the man’s erect cock.
Sebastian’s personal assistant is Peter’s latest fling.
Dawning horror spreads through me, clashing with my appreciation of my boss’s body as I recall Mr.Thomas’s suggestive words from the other night.
I grip the edge of the couch cushion and lean forward to leave.
When I steal a glimpse at Sebastian, my insides clench and nipples throb at the yearning in his gaze as he studies my face.The soft lace of my bra morphs to sandpaper against my pierced flesh as my entire body wakes.
The heat in Sebastian’s eyes turns to ice as he swings his gaze to Mr.Thomas.
Oh, falafel.
This is not good.I signed my employment contract less than a minute ago, yet I’m already destroying the carefully curated ambiance of Sebastian’s workplace.
Masculine aggression fills the room.
Nightmares creep closer.
I need to leave.
Now.
Chapter 6
Sebastian Sterling
Jealous rage colors my visionas my sweet pea meets my personal assistant’s eyes and blushes.With my focus usually on character, I never noticed Kenneth Thomas’s good looks before.Aggression surges through me and primes my muscles for violence.I’ve never wanted to flatten anyone as much as I do Mr.Thomas right now.
Penelope stands and sidesteps to the far side of the couch.Her eyes flit between Mr.Thomas, me, and the door.
I loosen my shoulders and slip a hand into my pants pocket, hoping to ease the tension by gentling my stance.
It doesn’t work.I still want to beat the shit out of the man in the doorway who stole a blush from my woman.
Despite scolding myself for the caveman thoughts, I can’t rescind the sentiment.Penelope is mine.I want all her attention on me.
Except this is her workplace.I will not ruin this tentative truce between us.
“Mr.Thomas, this is Ms.Miles, our new computer programmer.I’ll take her to orientation.Take care of this, please.”
I pride myself in my cool, professional tone as I hand him the folder with the signed contract and crowd him out of the doorway.Without laying hands on him, I assert my dominance and use my bulk to clear a path for Penelope.
