CHAPTER TWENTY

BRYAN

I sighed and sat back in the upholstered chair, tapping my pen absentmindedly on the folder as I stared out into the vast expanse of my office. After he invited me to join the firm, Julian had given me free reign to do what I wanted with my office. I probably drove a couple of interior designers insane, but we finally managed to come up with something I liked.

Just like my home, the office mostly used gray tones. The expansive desk I had commissioned according to my specifications was a polished, dark hardwood. Charly also had his own fluffy bed a short distance from the desk, where he often curled up while I worked.

Today, he was lying down with his head between his paws. He must have sensed that I was not truly focused on the files in front of me because he slowly raised his head and looked at me with those soulful, brown eyes that often made me think of melted chocolate.

“Hey, buddy,” I said softly. “Guess my thoughts have been all over the place, huh?”

I smiled a little as he ambled up to me, my hand coming up to scratch that spot behind his ears that he liked. He softly pressed his damp nose into my knee, and we just sat there like that for a moment.

So far, training with Blazing Heat has been going really well, and the chemistry between Sophie and I was off the charts. I no longer denied it, and instead, we took advantage of it, ramping up the heat on occasion.

She would shoot me these looks beneath her lashes, and it never failed to inspire a shot of lust shooting straight into my cock. The little minx was probably aware of it, and it was getting harder and harder to resist those come-hither looks of hers.

Just like that damned dress she wore to dinner with Julian and Emma, it gave me the distinct impression that she was trying to light fires and not just play with fire.

Lately, however, she had drawn out a lot of…things from me. She made me do things I had never done before, made me feel things I had never felt before.

Like that time at the club—not only did the touch of another woman turn me off, I found that I was actually willing to raise hell for Sophie Knox. If it had not been for the fact that my first instinct was to protect her and get her as far from Dexter as soon as possible, there was no doubt I would have beaten that bastard to the ground.

How dare he touch her like that, I thought, fury spilling into my blood. My vision darkened whenever I remembered how he held her close, how he touched her so intimately.

How scared and disgusted she was with him.

“I thought I was able to shut the lot of them out, Charly,” I murmured. “But it looks like this one managed to slip through the cracks.”

I stopped at the thought of that.
