How does he do that? I had every intent of giving him a piece of my mind and shoving that brand new laptop in his face, but then he rationally explains himself, and suddenly I’m caving at the sight of the sincerity in his eyes. He did the same thing to me when I barged into his office, and then within five minutes, I was agreeing to a date with him.

With my hand in his, Wes grabs the giftbag he dropped on the driveway and leads me inside his home, the beautiful display of colonial-style Spanish architecture that I was too busy to notice when I first arrived.

He opens the solid wooden door and my eyes struggle to adjust to the lavish dwellings I just walked into. But the décor of this home doesn’t surprise me. In fact, it reminds me a lot of Wes’s office—clean, bright walls with tan and gold accents, accompanied by dark wood in the furniture and cabinetry. And it’s not ostentatious. It actually feels like a home, not just a house that somebody sleeps in.

“Welcome,” he says, leading me through the entry way, past an office to my left and a formal dining room to my right, and into an open concept living room and kitchen with a beautiful view of the ocean through the floor to ceiling windows spanning the entire back of the house. The estate is on a hill high above the town below us, which only adds to the view.

“Holy shit,” I whisper, walking over to the glass while letting my eyes wander across the expanse of the ocean in front of me.

“It’s incredible, isn’t it?” Wes comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, caging me in against his body. One whiff of his scent and I almost forget why I was mad at him when I arrived.

“Yes.”

I feel his lips hit the soft skin on my neck right below my ear as a shock of arousal races through me. “So are you done being mad at me?” he growls in my ear as I feel his erection harden against my ass.

I scoff and then turn in his arms to face him. “I had every intention of leaving, Wes. I’m serious.”

He sighs and then stares down into my eyes. “I know, but I’m glad you didn’t. I’m… I don’t know what came over me. You called, sounding frantic and my instant reaction was to solve your problem. I didn’t mean to upset you.”

“And now that I understand your intentions, I get it. But I’m not used to it. And I don’t want that to be what this is about.”

“What is this about?” he asks, reaching down to palm my ass in his hands as he thrusts his hips into my stomach and presses his lips to my neck again. I understand him wanting to be playful, but I don’t want to let the severity of this conversation get derailed.

I bend my neck to the side to give him better access, struggling to make him see that he knows I’m being serious.
