Chapter 14

SAWYER

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Gemma freezes at the sound of my voice, her hand hovering over the doorknob. She must have thought I was asleep when she climbed out of bed, picked up her clothes, and headed towards the door.

Might I add that she did that in her underwear?

This girl never ceases to leave me in awe.

“Oh, hello there!” She squeaks in an unusually high-pitched voice, plastering a smile so wide it puts the Cheshire cat to shame. “You’re awake! Great…”

“Gemma…” I deadpan, staring her dead in the eyes. “You didn’t answer my question. Where are you sneaking off so early in the morning?”

“I’m… heading back to my room?” She drawls, slowly turning to look at me with horror-stricken eyes.

“In your underwear?” I arch a brow, sitting up on the bed. “Without saying goodbye?”

“I’m not supposed to be here…” She whispers, her eyes darting between me and the door. “What if there are… CCTV cameras or something? No scandal, remember?”

Gemma’s expression sends me into fits of laughter, and she watches on in confusion.

“What? Did I say something funny?” She asks, squinting at me as if that will make her see the reason for my laughter in HD.

“You…” I say as I sober up. “You are funny.”

“Why, thank you, kind Sir. So can I go now? I need to get out of here before the hallway gets busy,” she replies, hugging her clothes around herself.

“Do you know what’s more scandalous than being seen in my room?” I ask, resting my hand on my jaw. “Running out of my room in your underwear.”

The clothes suddenly drop from her hand, and her eyes widen. “Shit, I can’t believe I didn’t think about that.”

“You know, for someone who’s got brains, you do act out of character sometimes,” I say to her, trying to hold back the smile creeping on my lips. Getting a smile out of me isn’t an easy task, but Gemma does it so effortlessly.

“Clever way to call me stupid…” she grumbles, picking up her clothes from the floor one after the other and slipping them on.

Watching her get ready to leave makes my stomach churn. I don’t want her to leave—not yet at least. Her presence is like fresh air—pleasant, refreshing, and free. She’s like fire and I wood, lighting me up whenever I’m around her.

I can’t let her go.

“Stay with me, Gemma.” I blurt out, facepalming myself for sounding so desperate. Good job, Sawyer, you're turning into the man you hate.

“We have a long list of things, and I have to prepare… so do you.” Gemma explains, fixing the remaining buttons on her blouse.

“I’m the boss, baby. I make the rules,” I say, wearing a confident smirk on my face with my hand stretched out in front of her. “And today’s to-do list is for you to stay in bed with me all day.”

“Sawyer…”

“Come on.” I urge her, my arms still out while waiting for her to take them.

“Fine,” she sighs, taking my hands in hers. As I wrap my fingers around hers, I pull her into me, and she squeals in shock.
