The next morning Bea arrived at the office early to find Eli asleep, his head pillowed on his arms. She tiptoed into his office and left him slacks and a dress shirt. He didn’t budge when she balanced the small zip bag of toothpaste, deodorant and shaving things on the edge of his desk.

Good thing we keep spare clothes at the office, she thought, picturing the untouched piles of laundry back at her apartment. After Eli’s harsh dismissal, the intimacy of the unwashed garments had seemed vulgar to her.

She couldn’t dwell, no matter how much she wanted to. She logged into their shared files and put her brainstorms from last night into something solid they could present to Bows and Eros. She heard the sink turn on in Eli’s office bathroom. She took one last look at her work and saved it, closing her laptop as he appeared in her doorway wearing the clothes she’d left.

“Hey.”

“Hi.”

He looked as skittish as she felt. “I just got off the phone with Lynn Perry from B & E—she’s on her way up.”

Bea nodded, standing, smoothing her skirt. His eyes went to her legs and she quashed the urge to stare at his freshly shaven face.

“I didn’t come up with anything last night.”

She jerked her gaze to him. “I thought you said…”

“Yeah, well, I did stay here all night. I couldn’t work at that damned desk.”

She wanted to go to him. She wanted to press her face into his chest and beg him just as he’d demanded of her yesterday.

Touch me. Love me.

She nodded. “I’ve worked something up.”

He raised his eyebrows. “Good?”

“Very. Hot, sexy, edgy.”

“Let me see.”

“No.”

He squinted slightly. His lips compressed into a tight line.

Bea’s stomach did a flip-flop. “Lynn’s on her way up, right? I have an angle. Just trust me.”

He hesitated a minute and then checked his watch before nodding. “I’ll see you in conference in ten minutes.”

Bea nodded back. It was now or never.
