“Thank you so much for this, Sir. You have no idea how much this job means to me. I’m forever grateful Mr...um..I mean Ryan.” The words spewed out of her mouth as she wrung her hands together nervously. I narrowed my eyes at Cameron once more giving him a look that said he owed me, big time.
“Believe me sweetheart, it’s MY pleasure.” Fuck me sideways. I need to not say pleasure in her presence or I'm screwed. The way her eyes lit up as I spoke basically gave me the indication she thought I was a God already. It also meant that it wouldn’t take much effort to have her naked and beneath me.
“Alright…” Cameron cleared his throat taking a step back. “I’m going to go and let you two get acquainted with each other. Let Sadie or I know if you need anything, Chloe. I’ll be in touch with you next week, Ryan. Maybe we can meet up for a beer or two…like old times?” He didn’t linger, instead.he slipped from the room as if he was never here to begin with, leaving me alone with a huge boner, and a very, very attractive woman.
God, save me from making an ass of myself right now.
All I could do was lean there, against my desk and stare at the sweet, innocent package Cameron had all but shoved at me. I squeezed my eyes closed in frustration. I need to get my shit together before I do something stupid.
What, like fuck her? My subconscious knew me all too well.
“Are… are you okay, Sir?” Her voice was smooth and sweet, so fucking sweet it dripped like honey from her lips. I knew nothing about her except her first name and that I wanted her. God did I ever fucking want her.
I pinched the bridge of my nose. Get your fucking shit together, Nelson, Jesus!!
“I’m fine.” I informed her rather harshly, a frantic look formed in those deep blue depths of hers. I was a dick and just made that clear to her. I should call Cameron right now and make him come and get her before it was too late. Before the animal in me sunk his teeth into her skin and tasted her essence.
I stared at her wondering what the hell I was going to do with her next. I noticed her bright white teeth sinking into her ruby red plump bottom lip. How is it even possible that my cock grew harder in my pants?
“Caroline!” I growled as I slammed a finger down on the phone button directly next to me. I could feel the fear and unease rolling off Chloe in waves, each one hitting me harder than the next. I wanted to be sorry for acting this way in front of her already but I couldn’t be. Not when I wanted to fuck the sweetness right out of her after only knowing her for all of the five minutes we've been alone. I needed her gone, at least for a couple of hours so I could think. What to do Ryan, what to do.
“Yes…Yes, Sir?” Caroline stumbled over her words through the receiver. She was always fumbling through the day. That's what happens when you hire out of necessity.
“Please come and get our new employee, Chloe and show her around the office. When you’re finished with that, take her to HR and get her the new hire forms to fill out. Make sure she fills them out correctly." Good, that should keep them busy for a while, I thought to myself.
I look up to see Chloe staring at me all doe eyed as I await Caroline's reply. I couldn’t take my eyes off of Chloe’s red lips, the desire to nibble at them was nearly consuming me. I could feel my body pulling me in her direction, needing to get closer to her at any expense.
“Of course, Sir.” Caroline gulped before her line of the phone went dead. I placed the phone back on the receiver and averted my eyes to anywhere but Chloe’s.
After what seemed to be an eternity to me, but in reality only a few minutes, Caroline finally arrived at my door. Relief flooded my veins but I could feel the heat of Chloe’s stare on my skin. The relief she was radiating when Caroline showed up made me wonder what I'd done wrong already. When I finally did look up, just as she was leaving the office, I saw a small trace of sadness fill her features. Why can't I just be more like Cameron?
You’re a fucking douche bag, that's why.
“Fuck!” I swore as I tipped my head back and took in a deep breath of air. When I stepped foot into my office today, I didn’t think it would be any worse than a bunch of paperwork and meetings. You know, the normal routine. Little did I fucking know a beautiful temptress named Chloe would come walking into my life, kicking me in the balls, and taking my breath away. I shouldn’t fuck my assistant, well especially on her first day at least, but I wanted to, hell I needed to.
“Deep breaths, Nelson. You’ve got this. You are the boss and you run this shit, not your dick. So dick just go back to doing what you do second best and hang in there. I'll call you big guy if I need you." I gave myself a pep talk as I stepped back behind my desk and jumped head first into the stack of paperwork that I needed to review. All while images of the alluring Chloe played in the back of my mind on repeat.
