CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Winston

Thank fuck it’s Friday. This week has rushed by in a blur as I’ve put out one fire after another. It’s like the universe is taunting me. Luckily, Ash is more than a pretty face. Pretty competent too. Between her and Perry, they equal the ability of any mid-level associate, which is surprising considering how green they both are. I’ve had them both running in a million different directions for me. Perry will make it on his last name alone, but it does comfort me knowing Ash plans to go to college. She’ll be successful one day, that’s for damn sure. After our fight over the apartment earlier this week, things have slipped back to the way they were. She works hard every night to please me, and I reward her by not sending her away.

I’m such a dick.

Ash doesn’t seem to be complaining, though.

As if she’s been summoned by my thoughts alone, she walks through my doorway, a paper in her hand. “Perry asked me to give this to you. It’s a list of businesses in a one-mile radius of the Baldridge building.”

I’ve been too busy to do much digging, and Duncan has been useless in getting me information. But, as much as I want to scour the list, my attention is stuck on Ash. Today, she looks hot as fucking sin in a classic cut, navy-blue and white polka-dotted dress that fits all her curves in a tasteful way. It’s very 1950s but fuck if I don’t think it’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.

“Close the door,” I rumble, “but don’t lock it.”

Her brow lifts in surprise, but she doesn’t argue. Instead, she swivels, her dress swishing around her, and obeys. I roam my stare up her shapely calves, ass, and hips, appreciating each part of her body. Once we’re sealed in the privacy of my office, I tug at the knot on my tie, loosening it so I can breathe.

“You’ve been too busy to even take me to lunch this week,” she says as she saunters over to me and sets the paper down on my desk. “I was beginning to think my boyfriend was losing interest.”

Not losing interest.

Trying to use my brain instead of my dick.

Yesterday’s lunch was spent with Layla Reynard. What I thought would be a good opportunity for me to put distance between me and Ash, reminding me of what I’m supposed to be interested in, turned out to be a torturous encounter.

Layla was beautiful, just like Nate claimed. Rich, polite, a perfect trophy.

But she wasn’t Ash.

Nothing about her sparked my insane need to possess and own and devour.

Rather than calming my tumultuous mind, it only sent it spinning further into chaos. I’d come back from that lunch and fucked Ash so hard over my desk I’m pretty sure the entire building heard her unravel with my name on her lips.

“Not your boyfriend,” I murmur, though I don’t put much of a punch into my words. “And I pay too much not to see my investment pay off.
