See, she’s not traumatized.

But that was because I’d kept my clothes on and managed to snatch back some shred of self-control.

If she hadn’t left when she had …

You’d be fucking her right now.

And that would have been perfect.

Or the beginning of my demise.

It waseasy enough to stay away from Lexi in the days leading up to the big Europe trip.

Anthym kept her busy organizing materials, coordinating with the pilot, the hotel, and the other assistants in the Europe office.

I tried to ignore her and kept my back to her when she and I happened to be on the executive floor together. I didn’t want to give her any ideas or make her think that what had happened that night was something I wanted to repeat.

Anthym looked between the two of us.
