Chapter Sixteen

Gabe: When you want her you have to show her. It is as simple as that.

I was ready to explode when I got back to the office. Sexually and mentally. The entire day was shaping up to test all of my weaknesses. The fact I couldn’t stand shirkers, the fact I loathed trouble makers, and the fact that I was desperate for Pam. Like, fucking desperate.

Trouble was I knew she’d be in to see me in about ten minutes, and I needed to work off some of the tension before she arrived. It was quite possible I would ravish her otherwise.

I threw myself in my chair and took a deep breath, trying to grab at my control before it deserted me completely. The little game of footsie had not been a good idea. Not at all.

Brushing my body against Pam without being able to taste and touch was a recipe for Goddamn disaster. Nothing else had occurred to me at the time, though. With Donald seated on one side groaning and bitching, Giles watching it all with amusement, and Lucy doing her utmost to win the mega-bitch of the year award, I was kind of constrained.

It had worked. That much I was pleased about. Some might say it had worked too well. There could be no doubt to any of the department heads now that something was going on between Pam and myself. Anyone who hadn’t picked up on the tension between us was an idiot. Hell, it had shocked me!

It seemed to do that all the time though. Every time our eyes met, the very air around us practically pulsed with desire. I’d never known anything like it, and it both thrilled and unnerved me.

Would the department heads gossip to their staff? I suspected as much. It didn’t bother me, of course. I was the boss, I could do what the hell I wanted, but I worried it would bother Pam. She was hard-working and conscientious, and I didn’t want her to be made uncomfortable. On the plus side, though, it nullified Lucy’s earlier threat—though that didn’t change my feelings towards the marketing head. She was sneaky and sly and I did not want staff like that. What he hell was I going to do about her?

A knock on the door sounded and I straightened. “Come.” Eva stuck her head around the door and shot me a nervous smile. I wondered how long she’d keep it up. “Just to let you know, Pam will be here in five. She’s just getting a coffee.”

“Okay, great. Thanks.”

The door closed and I shot out of my chair, pacing up and down, trying to work off the tension. I can’t ravish her.

But then I stopped and paused and a thought hit me. Why couldn’t I ravish her? Why couldn’t I make my intentions clear?

Surely it made sense to lay all cards on the table straight away?

I looked out of the window, watching cars and people pass, and nodded to myself. I wanted her.
