I sucked air through my teeth as I clasped my hands in front of me. And every time I sucked air through them, I tasted Roxy another time. Her scent lingered against my lips. Her sounds echoed against my ears. Every time I drew in a deep breath, the mixture of her perfume and her wanton lust invaded my lungs, reminding me of the debauchery, we imprinted within the confines of that safe.

But, I couldn’t look down at her.

Part of me felt mortified as she stood there with her rigid back. I saw her from the corner of my eye just standing there. Like a statue. As if she had just seen a ghost. I finally mustered up the urge to peer down at her as the elevator in my office building slowly began to rise. I held my hands tightly in front of me as I looked down at the top of her head. I wanted to say something. I needed to say something. But, what the hell was I supposed to say anyway?

Part of me wanted to tell her that I wasn’t sorry. I wasn’t sorry for what we shared, and I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Part of me wanted to drag her into my office before coating my space with her scent just so she wouldn't leave me. But, my sensibilities prevented me from opening my mouth.

My sensibilities also kept telling me that what we shared was a mistake.

You don’t need to be messing around with your damn employee.

Your direct employee now, thanks to that promotion.

You just couldn't keep your hands to yourself, could you?

She’s going to file something against you. She’s going to ruin you.

Just like your ex did.

The voice in my head-mounted as the elevator doors dinged. I whipped my eyes forward, not wanting Roxy to catch me staring at her. My attention was still locked on her, though. From the corner of my eye, I saw her head tilt upward. I felt her gaze against my face, and I desperately wanted to look down at her. To meet her, eye for an eye, for the first time since we left the safe.

“I’ll head to H.R. once I gather my things from my desk,” Roxy said softly.

I looked down at her to respond, but she stepped away from me before I mustered up the courage to open my mouth. I watched as she made her way out of the elevator, not pausing to look back at me, or glance over her shoulder, or give me any sort of indication that she cared for me to respond. I groaned as the elevator doors closed on her. It parted us once more before the elevator carried me up to the top floor.

“You’re a pussy, jackhole,” I murmured to myself.

And the voice in my head didn’t do anything to fight my statement.

I raked my hands through my hair and paced the small encasement. I walked myself in circles, trying to work some of this nervous energy out of my system.
