Anais leapt to her feet and dashed for the sitting room to pull on her clothes.

Fumbling with her bra, hot tears coursed down her cheeks.

In sheer temper she tossed it away and dragged on her skirt.

"Damn," she muttered.

The zipper was stuck hard.

Unconcerned that he was butt naked, Marcus grabbed her arms and gave her a hard shake.

"What the hell is the matter with you? You wanted this, too."

Anais blinked back stupid tears, frantically trying to focus on that fabulous face.

Heaven help her, her heart soared just looking at him.

"You’re a liar," she sobbed the word in a way that made her feel a pathetic excuse for a human being.

He took a deep breath.

His eyes held hers as if trying to send her a message by osmosis.

"You didn’t make a mistake."

Silence.

Stunned, she simply stared into dark eyes filled to the brim with what looked like remorse.

"I mean, during the meeting yesterday. You didn't do anything wrong."

Anais couldn’t believe it when flags of color heated his sharp cheekbones.

Marcus Gillespie was blushing?

Was the moon made of cheese?

"But... you said..."

"I know what I said."

He cleared his throat and that heat spread down his neck.

Mystified, Anais stared up into his face and realised he was unsure.

"You lied to me?"

Jet brows drew together, but still those eyes stayed on hers.

"About the contract, the deal, yes."

Utterly bewildered, she thrust a hand through the heavy weight of her hair trying to get her head around his words.

"But, why?"

Those amazing eyes held hers.

She blinked in disbelief at what she saw in them, for her.

Desire.

Affection.

"The first day you walked into my office I knew I had to have you. I’ve dreamed of you, yearned for you every single night, Anais. Today might have been our last day together and I was desperate. For months you didn’t give me a sign you even liked me." He cleared his throat, ran his teeth over his bottom lip. "Until recently."

Her brain simply refused to function as she blinked up into his wonderful face.

"But you’ve treated me to Mr. Granite Face every day. I don’t think you’ve ever cracked a smile."

His smooth forehead creased in a way that caught her heart.

"I was your boss. And it would have been totally inappropriate for me to touch you. But you might have thrown me a crumb, Anais. A smile would have been nice from you, too."

Part of the statement hit her in the solar plexus.

"You were my boss?"

He took another breath and shook his head.

"You were made a full junior partner late last night."

Anais jerked her arms free and folded them over her breasts as sheer joy coursed through her veins even as she warred with utter disbelief.

"Marcus Gillespie," she said in an icy tone that made him flinch. "Are you telling me that I’ve been a junior partner for almost twenty-four hours?"

He gave her a boyish grin.

A grin that melted her heart.

"Yep. Congratulations." Then the grin slipped as worried eyes found hers. "Tell me I haven’t screwed this, us, up. Tell me you have feelings for me.
