After a marathon meeting stretching well past four, we escorted the men to the lobby for goodbyes, Jason leading the way as I kept my distance. I was hoping to slip back to my desk, the amount of work waiting for me likely astronomical. A quick wave should suffice. They were old friends while I was a literal sit-in.

As soon as my heels hit the tile, he waved me over to assist in goodbyes, the scores of men rowdy with chatter after the lengthy meeting. I took a post at his side, keeping plenty of space between us as I shook their hands, smiling despite inappropriate compliments and surprise hugs. Each squeeze was more unpleasant than the last, and I wished I was quick enough to throw a handshake out before the first landed.

As the last man headed out the door, Jason turned to me. “Can I talk to you for a minute?”

“Sure,” I murmured, clutching my notes to my chest. “I have a few questions to go over.”

And did I ever. My work could wait compared to him throwing a promotion my way on the fly.

I followed him down the long corridor and as usual, each office door was closed. Ithaca’s management was hard at work or hardly working, though it always seemed to be the latter. It was a wonder the place survived long enough for Jason’s revival.

He glanced over his shoulder as we neared his office, grabbing my wrist and hauling me in before shutting the door and setting the lock.

“Not a good look, Jas-” I began, only to be silenced with his mouth on mine. He claimed me with a fierce hunger. It wasn’t the time or the place, but I couldn’t resist, our passion blazing right alongside the alarm bells in my head. We were seconds away from being exposed, a nosy ear pressed against the door all it would take to destroy us.

“I’ve wanted to do that for almost four fucking hours,” he ground out, stepping back and breaking the spell. He turned on his heel and stalked to his desk, leaving me in a daze. “Are you going to come here or stand there like a statue?” he teased, realizing I wasn’t following him.

I made my way over, extending the notepad toward him.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

“Giving you the notes to review?” What the hell did it look like I was doing? Playing checkers? He was the one that just blew my mind with a make-out session in his office. Stupid much? He was earning well over six figures and had a hell of a lot more to lose. Like Dad always said, too much money made people reckless.

He chuckled huskily, glancing over at the window before standing to close the blinds. “That’s better.” My heart pounded as he stalked to the lights, flicking them off. He came up behind me, grabbing my notepad and tossing it to the desk. “Be absolutely silent,” he whispered, hot breath feathering across my ear.

Dad was wrong.
