Chapter Seven

During the limousine ride, I perch sideways on John’s legs, my ass hanging in the air, my skin remaining tender from the lunch hour spanking. John leans back in the seat, listening to the numbers I recite, his eyelids lowered and his body relaxed. He isn’t asleep. His gaze is fixed upon my face. His calloused fingers stroke up and down my thighs, his touch distracting me.

I need him again, always, my workaholic billionaire and sexy boss, the only man I’ve ever loved, the only man I suspect I will love. Needing and loving him isn’t enough. One-sided relationships never last, John taught me that. He has to need and love me also.

He raises one of his hands and drifts his fingertips along my cheek. “Your eyes sparkle like diamonds even when you’re sad.”

“I’m tired.” This isn’t a lie but it also isn’t the entire truth.

“I’ve been working you hard, as hard as I work myself.” John reaches into his inside jacket pocket.

I stifle a sigh. He’s searching for his phone. We have more work to complete. There’s always more work to complete.

John removes a black velvet box. “I’ve kept this for years, waiting for the right moment to give them to you.” He opens the lid, revealing the most beautiful earrings I’ve ever seen. Diamonds cascade down a waterfall of finely woven gold. “Tonight is the right moment.”

“You’ve kept them for years?” I remove my plain gold studs, my fingers shaking.

“Two days after your first interview, I saw them at an auction.” John’s eyes glow as he helps me with the earrings. They’re surprisingly light, as light as his caresses. “They’re French and very old and I knew they’d be perfect for you.”

I play with the earrings, stunned that he’d give me such a treasure. He must care for me…at least a little. “That was a risky purchase. You didn’t know we’d be working together.”

“Didn’t I?” John’s lips curl upward. “You were quick and clever, refreshingly candid, and you answered every question with that feigned subservience bordering on insolence you have since perfected. I knew I had to have you.”

“For your assistant.” I gaze at him. If my determined boss had wanted me sexually three years ago, he would have seduced me.

“For everything.” John pulls me closer to him, pushing my face into the curve of his shoulder, cradling me against his body. “I knew you’d be mine.”

How long will I be his? I discard this worry and savor his warmth, his scent, the quiet, a calm between requests. My billionaire boss is thinking, he’s always thinking, and soon he’ll need information to confirm or refute his thoughts. I flatten his tie, caress his chest.

The vehicle slows, stops. “Stay by my side tonight, Grant,” John warns. The door opens. He exits first, holds out one of his hands.

I clasp his rough palm and allow him to draw me to my feet. Lights flash. Cameras whir. Reporters shout questions. John places his arm around me and guides me through the chaos.
