Chapter Fourteen

My brisk pace into the break room slows when my eyes are inundated with a set of curves I have no chance of ignoring. Clara has one arm braced against the refrigerator while the other is propped on her hip. The top half of her body is hidden as she seeks something in the sparsely filled fridge. The figure-hugging fire engine red dress she's wearing displays every perfect curve the clients at Inked won't stop raving about. Inches of luscious, soft skin, a mouthwatering ass, and a pair of legs that go for miles. And let's not get me started on the regions of her body I can't see. The inviting image of a bent over Clara has a particular area of my body springing to life.

Sensing a presence in the compact lunch room, Clara tilts her torso out of the fridge. The hardness of my cock turns fatal when my eyes zoom in on her painted red lips wrapped around the end of a whole carrot. Illicit thoughts slam into me on more appropriate things her plump lips could wrap around.

Just like the intense bout of flirting we'd been undertaking the two weeks prior to her move, nothing has changed. If anything, our playfulness is venturing into new territory since a few hours of our time together have been spent outside of Inked’s walls. Clara will never admit her new surroundings daunt her, but the fact she has invited me to her place for a late supper each night this week is all the indication I need to know she hates being alone in her dingy, cramped apartment even more than I hate her living there.

Don't take my admission the wrong way; our flirting has never crossed the path it did in my office three weeks ago, but we've been cutting it close. Although I'd love nothing more than to sample her lips again, I’ll never make the first move. I have a massive ego and confidence in the bucket loads, but in the back of my mind, I know a woman like Clara is way out of my league. Hell, she's way out of my universe. But by waiting for her to make the first move, I know she isn’t being coerced into doing something—or someone—she doesn’t want to do.

Shaking off the thoughts that will have my good mood sin-binned, I make my way to the coffee percolator in the corner of the room. Clara's eyes track me as I pace across the room.

“Did you enjoy my salmon, Brax?” Her tone is a unique mix of bitchy and playful. “Probably the first time a guy of your standards has sampled something so refined.”

I lift the coffee pot from the base and pour myself a generous helping before turning around to face Clara. “Salmon? What salmon?” I brace my back against the counter.

She arches one of her perfectly manicured brows high into her hairline. “I saw my empty container on your desk." Her eyes drop to a stain on the top left-hand corner of my white shirt.
