Chapter 11

Anna

Scrunching my fingers into the pillow, I bash it against the bed head. And repeat for a few minutes.

After about ten full-throttled grunts, my anger over what Lucas just said in the hot tub diminishes somewhat.

What an asshole!

What a prick!

Who the hell does he think he is telling me how I should dress?!

I wear knee-length pencil skirts for crying out loud! And yes, they might be tight, but it’s a pencil skirt. That’s the design.

Honestly, I thought he had potential. I thought perhaps he did have a soul underneath that suave, Armani suit. But no, not Lucas Hartz. He just has to play the same dickhead card over and over, like he always has.

When I realize that sitting on my bed and overthinking it won’t help, I jump in the shower. Soon the warm water helps me to relax. The pressure of the wide, free-flowing showerhead is the best I’ve ever experienced. Which is not really unexpected given where I am - in a penthouse at Caesar’s Palace.

Of course, it’s going to be divine. Hell, everything in here is.

From this all marble ensuite to the state-of-the-art technology interspersed through the rooms…

From the jetted hot tub in the main bathroom to the wet bar…

From the separate media room to the spacious dining room, and opulent dark wooden furnishings…

Oh, I could rave on and on about the luxuriousness of this stunning penthouse. I really should just live it all up while I have the chance.

After all, this is probably the last business trip I’ll ever take. I don’t see how I can continue to work under Lucas given our choppy relationship. The bickering is too much and the chemistry way too intense for me to keep resisting him.

No matter how much I want to be repelled by him, my basic sexual and emotional instincts have other ideas.

As a coping mechanism, I decide to stay locked up in my room for the rest of the night. Tomorrow we’re heading back to New York on the eight-thirty a.m. flight, which leaves me exactly twelve hours to stay away from Lucas.

Opening my door slightly, I edge out an ear and listen for any sounds.

Nope. Nothing.

Dead silence.

I guess Lucas must have gone out. Probably to gamble and try to seduce another pretty but foolish girl, no doubt. Well, he better not bring her back here. The last thing I want to hear right now is Lucas scoring another glorious touchdown to mark on his bedpost.

When I reach the stainless steel kitchenette, I haul open the minibar and take out the small bottles of both white and red wine, as well as the gin and tonic.

From the bench goodies, I grab some salted peanuts, a bag of chips and a chocolate bar - perfect movie accompaniments.

Yes… I know. I scream “total girl” at the moment. But hey I’m still in love with a total dick, who is now my boss, and now I’m going to have to quit my job because of him.

Therefore, I think I deserve to get tipsy and veg out on the sofa with an in-house movie.
