Chapter 13

“You seem a little off. Everything okay, Sarah?”

The question came from Sean as they rode the elevator up from the parking level.

She grimaced, hating that her DEFCON 1–level frustration was apparent to her boss. But maybe she could learn from this. “What gave me away?”

He raised a brow. “I guess it was weird seeing you drop your coffee in the parking lot.”

Right, the case of the clumsies resulting from her brain being all tied up with thoughts of Max and their date the next night. The third date, which he wouldn’t tell her anything about except that she was going to like it even more than their second date. Which she’d liked to an oh yes, please don’t stop degree already.

Unfortunately, he had stopped. And she’d been “off” for two days since.

Sean pinched the bridge of his nose, giving her a contemplative look. “But it was the swearing that really clued me in. And then when you kicked your travel mug. Yeah, that was a Sarah I don’t see every day.”

Her eyes bugged. She hadn’t. Only the slight throb in her toe and scuff on her shoe suggested that yeah, she had.

“I’ll get it together, Sean. I’m sorry you had to see it though.”

Raising a brow, he laughed. The doors opened on her floor, and she stepped out. “Don’t sweat it, Sarah. It was kind of a relief to see you were human after all. Hell, everyone has off days.”

“Thanks for understanding.” The doors slid closed, and she started toward her office, her body feeling like it didn’t belong to her. Her breasts were swollen and sensitive, and a coil of tension was ratcheting tighter with every second that passed, bringing her closer to the next time she saw Max again.

She thought about his hand between her legs, petting her over her panties. His thumb playing with her nipples. Her next step missed the mark and her heel buckled, sending her into the wall with a thud.

She couldn’t go on like this. She’d never make it.

At her office door, she dropped her purse and then hit the top of her head on the doorknob when she tried to gather up the mess. Her phone sounded with a text.

It was Max.

Can’t survive another night. Please do society a solid and agree to move our date up to tonight. Or tell me to be a man and suck it up. Either works. Thinking about you, obviously.

Sarah grinned, sliding her key card over the sensor and letting herself into her office. She set down her bag and texted back.

Been going crazy. Seeing you again is all I can think about. It’s bad. People are noticing. What time and where?

The reply was everything she’d hoped it would be.

Six. My place.

Dropping into her chair, she grinned at the ceiling.

Max had a few menus out on the counter when the doorbell rang. He’d showered and shaved after his shift, changing into a pair of cargo shorts and the blue T-shirt his sister said was a good color for him.
