“Would you take a look at this report for a minute?”

Sonya glanced up from the papers she had spread on her desk into the face of Theo Crosby, the office’s wanna-be-lover-boy. She inwardly groaned. Lately, he would use any excuse to seek her out and say some flirty remark to her.

For some reason he seemed determined to get into her panties – like someone else she knew. But in her opinion, Mike had a better chance than Theo and the chances Mike had were slim to none. That said very little for Theo. What she saw as the man’s prime problem was that he thought too much of himself. But then so did Mike, she reminded herself. So what was the difference? Why did Mike have the ability to push her buttons when Theo totally turned her off? If she was going strictly by race then Theo should have an advantage since he was a brother. And he wasn’t bad looking and always dressed nice.

But she knew without thinking a lot about it just what was missing. Sexual chemistry. It was something she and Mike had an overabundance of.

“I’ll look at it later, Theo. I’m sort of busy right now,” she finally said, glancing back down at her own report.

He threw the folder down on her desk anyway, right in the middle of her papers and then leaned forward, flattened his palms down on her desk and got right in her face and said, “Come on, baby-doll, loosen up. It’s almost lunchtime. You need to take a break.”

“I agree and that’s why I’m here.”

Sonya recognized that deep, husky voice. However, just to make sure she wasn’t imagining things she shifted in her chair to glance over Theo’s shoulder. Mike stood in her doorway bigger than life and looking sexy as ever. The sight of him almost made her breathless. She hadn’t seen him since Saturday night, and that was a day short of being a week ago . . . not that she was keeping up with it or anything.

She somehow found her voice. “Mike,” she greeted, coming to her feet and wondering why he was there. For Theo’s sake she tried not sounding too surprised since she didn’t want him to think Mike’s visit was unexpected.

Mike cut his gaze from Theo to her. “Your secretary said it was okay for me to come on back.” He then looked back at Theo, although his next comment was meant for her. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything important, but I’m here to take you to lunch.”

She lifted a brow. The only other time Mike had ever dropped by the office to take her to lunch was when the two of them were pretending to have an affair for Jesse and Carla’s sake. And even then they had met downstairs in the lobby. She could just imagine the speculation that will start around the office with him showing up like this to take her to lunch.

“No, you’re not interrupting anything. I just need to grab my purse,” she said.
