âA business trip? With you? For the entire weekend?â
Damon nodded. He was leaning casually against my desk. Heâd stripped off his jacket and had the sleeves of his crisp white shirt rolled up below the elbows.
Unfortunately, I was very aware of how tanned, muscular, and strong his arms looked. I swore, menâs forearms were like cleavage, except no guy ever got slut shamed for whipping out those meat sticks in public. No. Forget the fact that forearms like Damonâs couldâve served as industrial grade lubricant for a room full of womenâthey didnât have nipples, so it was okay to flaunt them.
âAre you alright?â Damon asked. âYou look pale. More than usual.â
I glared. Iâd be okay if you put those things away. And if I could stop remembering how it felt to have your big ass, strong hands gripping my waist while you bent me over.
Why was it I couldnât remember one of the two items I went into the grocery store for, but I could vividly remember every minute detail about sleeping with Damon five years ago? It still felt like another life. If Luna wasnât walking proof that it had happened, I might not even believe it anymore.
âIâm perfectly fine. But why me?â I asked.
âYouâre my personal assistant. I may need assistance in Savannah.â
I opened my mouth to protest but couldnât think of a valid argument. âWhat about Luna? I still havenât even got my first paycheck, and I canât ask my brother to watch her for that long.â
âIâll cover the expense. You can pick any nanny you want. Or we can pay your brother for his time. But I need you on this trip.â
Iâd been half turned in my chair, but I fully gave him my attention then. âYou need me?â
âProfessionally speaking. Yes.â Damonâs dark hair was neatly cut and pushed away from his forehead. As always, he looked like the picture of a man in his prime. He practically radiated health and sexuality, and I felt equal parts drawn to going anywhere he asked and compelled to run as fast as I could.
âCall me crazy,â I said. âBut it feels like the only things youâve asked me to do since I started here are meant to annoy me. So do you actually need me, or do you need an outlet for your endless supply of spite?â
âI donât have time to babysit your ego. If you want to keep your job, youâll be ready to board a plane with me at noon tomorrow. Just give me the name of whoever you need to watch Luna and Iâll make sure theyâre compensated.â
Damon left me at my desk to glower at nothing in particular. What a dickbag.
I still didnât buy it, though. Some degree of his personality was an act, and I was determined to prove it. I felt like I needed to know more about this woman who supposedly turned him so cold.
As far as I could tell, heâd sworn off sex, relationships, and compassion. What makes a guy
