Chapter Fourteen

Focused on the television monitors, chaotic sounds pouring from the kitchen set, Nikko felt the subtle shift in the air he’d come to recognize that told him she was moving to her seat.

He drummed his fingers absently along the console as he watched the chefs scurry about the kitchen, and let out a deep huff of air through his lips. His eyes may have been watching the chefs, but his brain was reliving every moment of what had happened in Stacy’s room.

Every pulse-bounding, heart-stopping, scorching moment.

What the hell had possessed him to kiss her? One second he’d been listening to her go on and on about how to relax his muscles, his gaze centered on her plump lips while she spoke.

Then she smiled. Actually smiled. At him. And with the next breath he’d felt a familiar twinge in his lower back that shot straight to his dick and all he could think about was how those delicious-looking, smiling lips would taste.

Shit.

He could lie and say he hadn’t realized what he was doing when he’d caged her between his arms and leaned down to brush his mouth over hers. That he was so exhausted, his mind running in a thousand different directions, he hadn’t given a coherent thought to what he was doing, but had just reacted to the bolt of lust that popped through him.

But it would be a lie and as brazen and bold-faced a one as he’d ever told.

He’d known exactly what he was doing when he slid his hands down her arms, around her trim waist to settle on her back and pull her against him. And he’d never hesitated a second before molding his palms to her fabulous ass and grinding her body into his, letting her know exactly what she was doing to him.

The feel of her, slim and lithe and so incredibly soft, had silenced every bell and whistle in his head, screaming that what he was doing was as wrong as it could be.

Never, not once ever before in his entire career, had he crossed a line like that with a subordinate. And that’s what Stacy was, in every sense of the word. She may have the title of executive producer and all the clout and power that went along with it, but it was his name, his professional reputation, his utmost responsibility that guided the show. He was, in the very purest, most simple definition of the word, her boss. And as such there was a clean, concise line of conduct that should never be crossed. No matter what.

Today he’d not only crossed that line, he’d obliterated it.

What truly shook him straight down to his marrow was he wanted to do it again—would in a heartbeat—if Stacy gave him any indication she wanted him as much as he did her.

Where in the hell had this longing; this deep, devouring need, come from? He could blame it on the fact he hadn’t gotten laid in too long to even consider and anything with the necessary opposite-sexed parts was capable of turning him on.
