Chapter Twelve

Christopher

Yesterday afternoon was a big mistake.

In the harsh light of day, hiding in my office like a coward, I will admit that I really, really screwed up. Brunch and the farmer’s market were fine. And all she expected or even wanted from me.

But after.

I never lose control like that. Never. I treated Stella badly and I’m ashamed. I’m her boss...sort of. I’m not staying in town for long. We hardly like each other. And I took her like a caveman in her kitchen.

I spanked her. I’ve never hit a woman. Never thought I wanted to. But I was overcome with the need to mark her. The sight of my handprint on her ass took me someplace I’ve never been. And she fucking loved it as much as I did.

All of those are reasons enough to feel like a giant dick. But the one that won’t leave me alone is that I can’t regret it. I want to do it again. I need to. I need it. I need her.

Shit.

I do not need her. I don’t even know where that came from.

It’s like she is on some personal quest to strip me of control, and she did it. She egged me on. She challenged me. And I played into her plans exactly the way she wanted me to. But I never meant to bruise her. She probably thinks I’m a big oaf. That countertop had to be as unforgiving as my body behind her. I wasn’t gentle. I wasn’t even attentive. I just...I just took.

I’m a horrible person.

I check my watch. She’ll be here soon, and I need to find my center. I don’t enjoy the swinging pendulum of emotion she keeps time with. I will never be the kind of man who sweeps a woman like Stella off her feet and into the chaos of a grand love affair. Yesterday was an anomaly and one we won’t be repeating.

If I could just stop seeing the curve of her heart-shaped ass every time I close my eyes. Stop hearing the sound of her cries of pleasure. The sound of her ass turning pink. Stop feeling the silky skin of her back. And god, being inside her. The silky heat of her... Everything about her is beyond bliss—but I’m not prone to extremes. I’d rather stay to the center of contentment than the highs and lows of bliss and wretched disappointment. It’s over. It has to be, or I won’t survive it.

We’ll go back to pretending to be a couple and avoid the confusion of adding sex to the mix.

She’s here. I can hear her in the break room. I swallow hard. Okay. The thing to do here is make sure she knows I respect her but keep things professional. Friendly. Uncomplicated.

I need to not hide in this office. I have to remind my heart to slow down as I pause outside the break room door.

Her dress is a peacock feather pattern today. The violets and blues mesmerize me as I watch her move around the kitchen area.
