Chapter Seven — Pepper
Gabe slid his silver-framed glasses off, tossed them on the desk and gestured his hand toward a chair. “Have a seat.” I walked over to his desk and plopped my ass down on top of it, crossing my sleek long legs in front of me.
“I meant on the chair”
“Oh, that?” I giggled. “You’re so funny. I didn’t know you wore glasses.” I reached across to his face and traced my finger along his nose. “You look really smart.” He pulled away a little, but I was Pepper Anderson, and I could have pretty much any guy I wanted. And I wanted Gabe.
He rolled his chair back a little, “What can I help you with, Miss Anderson?”
“Well, Mr. Gregory—oh, that sounds so funny. Like I’m talking to my daddy’s friend or something. Call me Pepper, please.” I brushed a strand of hair that had fallen in my face to the side and licked my lips. “Do you think I should stay home tomorrow? I’m kind of a…well, a wreck, publicity-wise. I know you were trying to help me out, but I think Daddy would understand.”
I must have made him a little nervous, because he stood up and walked toward the big picture window. He turned back to me and my eyes scanned the whole package. I silently wondered if he could fuck me as hard as Church did. He must have seen something in my face, because he turned back around and put his hands in his pockets. I knew what that meant. He was as excited as I was. “What do you think? Can you handle it? I won’t be able to babysit you.”
“Babysit?” I laughed. “Do I look like a baby?” I asked, and slid the old t-shirt off and stood in front of him in my bikini.
“Well, uh—you know what I meant.”
“GG, I’ve been dealing with this kind of crap all my life—”
“—wait! GG?”
“Yeah, GG. Gabe Gregory.”
“Don’t ever call me that again, please.”
I smiled and held up my hand in a mock salute, “Yes, sir!”
He smiled at me and said, “Thank you. Now what were you saying?”
“Well, as I was saying before I was interrupted, I’m used to the staring and the whispers, but if you feel like it puts Sea Lab in a bad light, then I totally understand if you don’t want me to come back. But, I’d really like to. Here’s the t-shirt I borrowed.” I handed the shirt back to him and I could have sworn he was staring at my body. I stayed in good shape considering I had some pretty curvy hips.
He had dark brown, expressive eyes that seemed to search for what you weren’t saying. I wondered what it would be like to kiss his very kissable mouth, to touch his warm skin. I sighed. He was a cool drink of water on a very hot day.
“I just wanted to…uhm…check with you before I left.”
“I want you, Pepper.” I froze for a second. That was a bold thing to say.
