Work the next week was tense, simply because Haley refused to acknowledge that they’d shared an earth-shattering night. No matter how hard Nick tried, he couldn’t get her to crack.

He knew she knew—the tiny blushes on occasion were evidence enough, a lingering look he’d catch from across the break room—but hell if she fell into any of his conversational traps or suggestive segues.

All he wanted was for her to say the words: Nick, you blew my fucking mind. Because she’d blown his. And he was dying to tell her.

By Thursday, though, he couldn’t take it any longer. He picked up the phone and called her cubicle.

“What is it?” she sounded distracted right off the bat.

“May I take you and Amanda to a petting zoo tonight?”

The silence on the other end—he couldn’t tell if it was stunned, appreciative, or something else. A keyboard clacked in the background.

“Um…why?”

“Because it would be a fun thing to do. And I think you have a daughter who likes to do fun things.”

She snorted softly. “Yeah. I do.”

“Call it a work excursion. I’ll even use the company credit card to convince you.”

“Won’t you have a hard time explaining to the accountant why all that rabbit food is related to tech development?”

“He’s encountered stranger things in my books. Now will you?”

She sighed. He liked to think that maybe she missed him and had been as eager to spend more time together as he was. “Yeah. That sounds nice. Amanda will be so excited, actually.”

Nick leaned back in his chair, rubbing a hand over the back of his neck. “And what about Haley?”

She inhaled sharply. “Nick—”

“It’s just a question.”

A moment passed before she spoke. “Yeah, Haley’s pretty into it too.”

He grinned. “Should you and I go together to get Amanda?”

“Uh, absolutely not.” The edge returned to her voice. Maybe he was pushing too far, too fast. But dammit, he wanted to spend more time with her. Consequences be damned. “She’s at my mom’s house, and if I show up there with you, shit will just…”

“What?”

“Hit the fan,” she finished. “Listen, I gotta go. Aren’t you the boss of this place? Tell me to get off the phone and get my ass to work.”

“I’d much rather listen to your sexy voice in my ear this afternoon.”

She groaned. “Nick. You are not helping.” And then she hung up.

Nick grinned to himself as he flipped through various screens on his computer, trying to return to productivity but failing. Truthfully? He wanted Haley in his office right that minute, so he could back her up against the edge of his desk, smooth his fingers up those silky thighs, find the heat and promise between her legs that officially held him hostage.

What they had going was fun. And it was the only thing that really excited him anymore. The first woman in a long time to click with him. They’d clicked since the beginning, but it had been hampered by the limitations of working together. Now that they’d blasted this door open, he wanted to see where exactly they’d end up.
