Bullshit.
I love how I unnerve her.
In three months, when her contract ends, I’m going to fuck her pussy so goddamn hard she’ll be in Australia by the time she orgasms.
And trust me, she will be begging for it.
I greet her as Chloe shows her into my office.
“Welcome, Gemma.May I call you Gemma?”
“Yes.It’s much better thanMs.Ford.”
I smirk privately as I round my desk and sit.
“My apologies for that,” I lie.
I never thought she was single.I know exactly who she is, and for some reason the fact that she was married irks me.
Which is new.
Women usually fall into two categories in my world: fuckable and unfuckable.Obviously if they are married, it’s the latter.It doesn’t matter how beautiful they are.
Her husband is dead, but I still don’t like that he had her in his bed.
Honestly, it pisses me off.Why I should care is beyond me.But one look at her and I took an instant liking to the dead guy.
Illogical.
Which is not a word anyone would describe me.
Blunt, direct, cut-throat, pragmatic, successful...possibly even cold if they weren’t someone in my inner circle.
Never illogical.
So I’m aware that my attraction to this woman is somewhat unusual.
“It’s in the past.”Gemma places her tablet on the edge of my desk and smooths her pants.“I see the remaining members of the team are here.For how long?”
“Undetermined,” I answer.“For now, I need you to continue running things as you have.A new budget has been sent to you.Please stick to it and raise any concerns with me or my team immediately.”
“Okay.”
“Chloe will send you invites to accompany my team and me to store visits around the country.”
“Oh,” Gemma blinks.
“We’ll travel in the Carrington jet, so just follow Chloe’s instructions and ask her anything you need to know.”
A warm blush hits her cheeks, and I feel a stupid pang of pride.I’ve been wealthy all my life.Why I should care what this woman thinks about me owning an aircraft is beyond me.
Yet I do.
Gemma Ford is beautiful.There’s no reason I wouldn’t.She was a very rich woman.Now, the steps she takes over coming years will determine if she stays wealthy.
Normally, money and women are a sensitive topic for me.
Along with my friend Colt, the owner of Obsidian Club, I have three other close friends.We all went to Harvard.
