End of March

I should have stayed at the office.

I should have been in a meeting with Michael about next month’s rollout.

But instead I was where I wanted to be, though the quirked brow and pursed lips that met me had me on edge. Natasha was still working, and I wasn’t even there for the project we were working on together.

“In the five years I’ve worked here I don’t think you’ve ever come for a visit, but the last month and a half you’ve come five times,” she said before standing. “I think I’m getting special attention, because Nina never saw you this much. And if you’re blaming it on my department I will swat you.”

I had been to the office before, many times, but it was odd how I’d never seen or noticed her. If she hadn’t been in that meeting, would I have noticed that day?

“No, I’m blaming it on you.”

She rolled her eyes, a smile playing on her lips. “Ass.” I pulled on her wrist and she crashed against my chest. “Richard,” she hissed, her gaze darting around.

I didn’t give a fuck who saw or who knew. She was mine. “By Wednesday my skin crawls, aching for your touch. When Friday rolls around I can’t stand being away from you anymore.”

I wanted to be around her all the time. The distance was really starting to grate on me.

“There are still two hours until the weekend starts,” she said, thinking that would deter me, but it wasn’t going to work.

“And you’ve already worked forty,” I pointed out, making sure she knew I was watching.

“How do you know that?”

I grinned at her. “Baby, I’m the VP—I know all. Besides, I actually came to pick you up.”

“Pick me up?”

My lips formed a thin line. “I just got out of a meeting with Derek in acquisitions, and then I wanted to take you back to Chicago.”

“Chicago?”

I nodded. “I have a conference call tomorrow I can’t miss, and some work to do.”

I hated the flicker of disappointment in her eyes just before she looked away. “Why didn’t you just stay there and work, then come when you were done?”

Because I’m addicted to you.

“I wanted to see you, and if I went back there I might not have been able to tear myself away from my computer because you aren’t there to do your little siren song and pull me away.”

“My siren song, huh?”

I nodded. “Very siren-y.”

“Does it bring all the boys to the yard?” she asked, that sexy smirk I loved so much on her lips.

“It brings my boys.”

“Hey, hottie McHotterson, what are you doing here?” Jenna asked, emerging from the open door to the break room.

“Picking up Natasha. What are you doing here?”

She rolled her eyes at me. “I might be working, but sometimes I really don’t know.”

“Might want to figure that out before your boss notices,” I said with a chuckle.

“The only thing she notices is if I’m violating some arbitrary office policy that nobody cares about and everyone breaks, including her boss.
