She shook her head and flinched when he bit out a swear word.
“So, you had no idea I was going to be much later.”He waited for her nod, then continued.“Next, you called my office, and Vanessa said what, exactly?”
“She said you were too busy to come to the phone.”
“And?I want to hear everything she said.”
“And that she knew all about me.She also said you needed her and she had to go.Then ...then I heard you in the background telling her to hurry.But it was the suggestive way she said it that upset me.”
“Goddamn it.That bitch.She’s gone as of now.”
Jennifer straightened in his lap.“No, Grant, you can’t fire her.”
“You bet your sweet ass I can and I will.I ignored her flirting because I figured she was Peter’s problem, and I wouldn’t be around much longer.But now, I don’t want that bitch within a mile of you.”
Jennifer leaned against him, slipped one arm around his neck, and started to cry.“I’m so sorry, Grant.I’m causing so much trouble.”
“Christ, woman.You didn’t do anything, and if I hear that shit come out of your mouth again, I’ll assume you’re begging me to spank your sweet ass.”
A laugh burst out of her as she wrapped her arms tighter around his neck.
He speared his fingers through her hair and tilted her head back to take her lips hard, adjusting her head to deepen the kiss.When they were both breathing heavily, they broke apart.“I’m assuming you didn’t get much sleep last night either, did you?”
She shook her head and tucked it under his chin.
“When can you leave?”
Jennifer looked up at his handsome, masculine face.“I could leave now.Kari is here until closing.”
He stood them up, leaned down until his face was even with hers, and pinched her chin.“Good.I’m taking you home, and you better be ready because I will have you under me within seconds.And then I’m going to spend a long time inside of you, showing you exactly how I feel about you and who you belong to.And only then will I let you sleep.”
Jennifer pressed her mouth to his and looked him straight in the eyes.“Good.I need you.It feels like it’s been a week since I had you deep inside me, and right now I need that more than anything.”
Grant growled, cupped her shoulders, and pressed his forehead against her.“Babe, you’re killing me here.It’s touch and go to see if I can make it home with you before I have your panties off.Don’t push me on this.”
Jennifer hesitated until a low warning rumble pushed her forward.She took a cautious step back, shut down her computer, and grabbed her purse before they walked out of the office.
“Kari, I’m going to head home.Call if you need me, but if not, I’ll see you tomorrow,” Jennifer said on her way past the front desk.
Kari’s eyes were wide with curiosity and unanswered questions.“Absolutely.You couldn’t have gotten any sleep here last night.”
Jennifer bit her lip when Grant growled at her from behind.She wouldn’t be surprised if she had Grant breathing down her neck for a while.
