Jess knew damn well he had to get on with the show, however hard it was. Again, he readjusted his tie around his neck and cleared his throat.

Alexa thinks I’m hot?

She really thinks I’m hot? Yeah, so damned hot she had to send an e-mail. Jess had an eerie suspicion given the point of view the e-mail was written in that he was not the intended recipient. If that was the case. Who was the e-mail’s intended recipient? He would just love to know that!

This was not good. This was not good one bit. All the while he motioned for the meeting to go forward as the rest of the board conducted the appraisal. He had excused himself for water, though his coffee was inches away on the boardroom table and he could have intercomed the reception to bring a glass of water. He needed air. To get out. What was happening to him? His mind was a whirlwind daze. So not cool. So not like him. Was he losing it? Was the stress getting to him? Or the fact that he could not, ever have Alexa under any circumstances. He would have to put a stop to this now or this may very well put a stop to everything he’d damned near work so hard for.

Yes, temptation was the devil.

This was a tease.

An inappropriate e-mail seduction.

Grounds for dismissal. If anyone else caught wind of this electronic sex text, he was good as dead. Good as dead, huh? All Jess could think about was her luscious full lips moving as she spoke at the meeting when she answered Chase’s questions. He couldn’t help noticing how flushed she looked and hoped that the others would think it was a direct result of employee-appraisal-nerves.

Oh, hell. How cold he even concentrate on her evaluation when the only image driving through his mind was of how he could make good on her salacious e-mail seduction. The things he could do to her. God, if only he could jump on this invitation. If the rules were different. If he were not her boss and she was not his employee. His subordinate. Working under him. Or laying under me…

Get your mind outta the gutter, Jess. Focus!

Jess shuffled his papers and peered down while his sister intervened and asked Alexa a few questions. He appeared focused, nodding occasionally as if listening. He could barely make eye contact with Alexa now. Not here. Not now. Meanwhile beneath his skin, testosterone levels were off the chart. He was struggling, wrestling with his emotions. She made his heart gallop. She caused emotions within him that he was not quite comfortable having…not yet, anyway. Maybe when he was 50 and married with children. And the feelings were directed to his loving, devoted wife.

Back on track.

“Jess?”

“Hmm.” He looked up, startled. How long had his sister been trying to get his attention? He had been daydreaming, hadn’t he? Tormented inside. Left hanging. Unable to deal with his emotions or talk about what was really on his mind at that moment.
