Chapter 9

“Kate?”

A hand waved in front of her face.

“Huh?”

“Wake up,” Bethany said. The girl brushed her sandy hair out of her eyes and grimaced. Kate was glad it was her best work friend rather than one of the fake-sweet girls who stabbed you in the back in the lunchroom. She didn’t need to give the gossips any fodder. “You zoned out again. What’s wrong with you today? You’ve been a zombie.”

She looked down at the stack of files on the desk in the file room trying to remember what she was doing with them. “Have I?” Yeah, she’d been a little out of it that day. But it was Monday. Wasn’t everyone a zombie on Monday?

“Have you been sleeping okay?”

“I’m fine.” Even she could hear the lie in her voice. Crap. She had to get herself under control before this affected her job, her life. Her relationship with Banner was supposed to be superficial. A quick, fun tutorial on submission, then bam, over. But it wasn’t turning out that way. Banner was insinuating his way into her heart. And they were both going to get hurt.

She knew that in her head, but her body was having trouble listening. Her greedy libido wanted him in a bad way, as evidenced by its obedience to his stern commands. How would she ever be able to control herself when just the sound of his voice made her panties wet?

“You’re staring at nothing, Kate. At least open the file if you’re going to pretend.” Bethany chuckled.

Scowling, she looked at her friend. “Shut up.”

Bethany laughed harder. “Hey, I’m just trying to look out for you. It’s clear something is going on with you. I think I know what.” A knowing smile touched her lips, making Kate frown.

“And what’s that?”

After looking from side to side, she leaned in close and said, “You’re in love.”

Kate recoiled. Love? Her and Banner? No fucking way. She was in lust, through no fault of her own. Who wouldn’t be in lust with a tattooed sex god in a suit? He was like a present—pretty on the outside but when you unwrapped him, it only got better.

“I’m not in love,” she snapped, making her sound guilty. With a sigh, she picked up the files she’d been staring at and turned from the table. “It’s complicated. Don’t ask questions.”

Bethany looked positively impish. “‘It’s complicated’ is another way of saying you’re in love.”

Kate shook her head emphatically. “There are shades of relationships. It’s not just love or not love. There’s a lot of in between.”

“Uh-huh.” She looked Kate over. “So, who’s the guy?”

Her face flushed. A sexy, wealthy man who’d been tying her up in his dungeon and fucking her senseless with no strings attached. “You don’t want to know. Trust me.”

Bethany pouted. “Fine. Be all mysterious and cryptic, then. It’ll only make people curious.”

Had other coworkers noticed? She peered around her, but nothing seemed different. She shot Bethany a dirty look. “Quit messing with me.”

She giggled. “I’ll find out, eventually.” Walking backward, she said in a creepy voice, “I’m watching you.
