I sit anxiously as I continue reading through open cases and scanning in transcripts. I’m not sure what I’m looking for, but when I see it, I’ll know.

I feel Bentley behind me before I see him. My body instantly shivers and feels cold when he walks in. I continue what I’m doing and ignore the fact that his body continues to get closer to mine.

“I apologize for that earlier,” he begins in a more natural tone. He doesn’t sound as tense, but he’s not demanding, either.

“It’s fine.” I wave him off, not turning around to look at him. “It was a weak moment. It’ll never happen again.”

I hope that he accepts that and walks out so I can continue reading through files.

He grabs my chair and jerks it around, so I’m forced to face him. My eyes widen on instinct as I brace myself for what’s to come.

“I wasn’t apologizing for that.”

I look up at him, and his eyes are no longer soft. He looks angry, hungry almost.

“I was apologizing for having to take the fucking phone call.”

“Oh.” I sound weak, but I can’t help it. I don’t know what I’m supposed to say. My mind and body are at complete odds right now, and all I can think of when he stares at me like that is how good it would feel to have his hands all over me.

Shit.

Focus.

Stay focused.

“Ceci,” he growls, leaning his face in closer to mine.

Fuck focused.

“I just want you to know, in case your mind is racing a thousand miles per hour like mine is—that I don’t do this. I don’t go around groping my interns or people I work with.”

I swallow.

I know he’s trying to be genuine, but I just can’t take how serious he’s being. It’s making me uncomfortable and antsy.

“Oh, so I get to be your first?” I taunt.

He grabs me harshly and pulls me up, so we’re now standing chest to chest.

“Perhaps you didn’t hear me correctly,” he barks. “I’ve never been like this with someone I work with, and definitely not someone I just met. I was trying to be nice instead of a fucking asshole and tell you so you wouldn’t think I was just using you.”

“Well, aren’t you? I mean, for your…” I look down at his re-appearing bulge, “needs.”

“I don’t need interns to take care of that for me,” he spits back.

“What makes you think I’m not using you? You think you’re the only person capable of doing so?” I challenge, and I see the amusement in his eyes. He thinks I’m full of shit. So I continue playing. “Women like sex just as much as men do.”

“Is that so?” He grins. “I have yet to meet another woman who can keep up with me.”

I may not be as experienced in the world of sex, but I don’t let that scare me from accepting his challenge.

“Let me be your first one.”

Bentley’s mouth slams to mine before I can react. Right before our lips make contact, he stares at me as if I’m his last meal.
