Chapter 10

Jack could still taste her on his lips. As fiery and potent as whiskey, but with the sweetness of a fine red wine. That unexpected kiss had shocked most of the sense out of him. Had him contemplating sweeping her into his arms, guiding her into the penthouse, and then into her bedroom. Even though he had a mission to focus on. Even if it went against everything he stood for. That was how powerful that kiss had been. Jack had actually considered risking everything for the ultimate taste of Cassandra.

Dangerous didn’t even begin to describe her, yet here he was, thinking about recruiting her.

“What’s in it for me?” she repeated tersely.

Obviously the kiss hadn’t affected her the way it had him. Oh, he was certain of her attraction to him. He’d sensed it when she had trembled at his touch out in the hallway. But attraction came and went easily. To be affected by a kiss to this degree wasn’t mere attraction anymore. To feel that shift from fantasizing to actual contemplation about taking things further was another step entirely. A step he had believed he had complete mastery over.

Jack had always been able to command his emotions. His physical reactions to the women he desired. The moment Cassandra’s lips had met his, that control had wavered so much that it almost crumbled. If she had suggested they go to bed, in that instant he would have done it. Without hesitation. Without any damn concern for the mission. He would have risked everything for a woman he barely knew.

That fact scared the shit out of him.

It was why he hadn’t been able to hide his displeasure when they walked into the penthouse. He had worried about her safety around Walker Smith and hadn’t trusted her motives. But most of all, he was unnerved by the way she had kissed him. With such abandon. And passion. Like they were alone together instead of putting on a show for a stranger.

“Of course you want something for your trouble,” he said smoothly. He hated being an ass, but at the same time he really didn’t want to her to get hurt.

“I certainly wouldn’t do anything for you out of the goodness of my heart,” she said, throwing his own words back at him.

Wow. She was good. And smart. Smartass. “I can offer you the mentorship you wanted,” he said, heaving out a sigh. “You can shadow me and learn everything you want about business.”

She pursed her lips, and tossed her head back. “You seem to be under the impression that this is a negotiation.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t it?”

“A negotiation is between two parties who each want what the other has,” she responded. “If an internship is all that’s on the table, you don’t have anything I want.”

Damn, she was cutthroat. Part of him actually admired her brazenness. The other part of him saw it was a reminder of the danger she posed. Not only was she Leo Monahan’s daughter, but she had also inherited her father’s ruthless tactics.
