CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Liam

WHO THE FUCK IS THAT? His eyes haven’t left Avery’s cleavage once. Are they on a date? Where did she find this douche?

“Liam,” my date whines. “Are you listening to me?”

I look across the table and take in the blonde. What was her name again?

I look down at my phone. “Excuse me, I just received an urgent message from the office.”

Blondie pouts. “Okay, I suppose I’ll just order another drink.”

I nod. “You do that. I’ll be back in just a few.”

I head down the hall toward the restrooms, which are thankfully located next to the bar area where Avery is sitting. It’s been six months since she started working for me and each day gets harder and harder to resist her.

I haven’t been able to seal the deal with another woman since the first time Avery and I fucked. Not that I haven’t tried. I’ve met up with at least two dozen Tinder matches, but the bleached-blonde surgically enhanced women that I usually go for, have lost their appeal. The only time I even considered having sex with one of them was because I swiped right on a woman that bore an awfully close resemblance to Avery. Too bad she had to open her mouth and ruin it.

I’m so sexually frustrated, I feel like I’m about to implode. I know it’s affecting my work which makes me livid. I’ve never been a laid-back boss—my business has grown exponentially because I have high standards. But I’ve always maintained the charm that I’m so well known for. Now, people go out of their way to avoid eye contact with me. Everyone but Avery, that is. She fights me tooth and nail over every-fucking-thing. And worst of all, I let her. I look forward to it because sparring with her makes my dick hard. It’s like foreplay. Foreplay that ends tonight, one way or the other. I can’t do this anymore.

I pull up Avery’s number in my phone and send her a text.

Me: I need you back in the office tonight so we can discuss your action plan for improving McAllister’s image.

She surreptitiously looks down when her phone vibrates. I can tell she’s offering an apology as she fishes her phone out of her purse and types a reply.

Avery: We’ve already been over this. I have it handled.

Me: I disagree. There are some points that I’d like to discuss. Meet me in the office in 30 minutes.

She frowns as she reads the new message.

Avery: I’m sorry, but I’m on a date, and I’ve had a couple of drinks. I will see you in the morning.

Me: It wasn’t a request, Ms. Jacobs. If you’ve been drinking, take a cab and use the company card to pay for it.

I can practically hear the litany of curse words running through her head. She shoves her phone into her purse, not bothering to reply. I smile victoriously as she gives the douche the brush off. I wait for her to exit the restaurant before returning to my date to do the same.
