Chapter 10

Preston was already kicking himself for losing his mind before Charlotte made it out of the door. He hadn’t known what he was doing when he turned around and pulled her into his arms. The urges he’d been able to keep at bay came roaring to the surface the moment she’d laid her hand on his shoulder. And the question that she’d asked him had been one that he’d been asking himself since he’d agreed to all of this.

The business part of the deal was smart. She was smart. She could bake. It just made sense to give her the chance to prove herself. He would have invested in her with or without the fact that he was attracted to her. The attraction had been a distraction, something he hadn’t wanted and was fighting against. He wasn’t the type of person to use his money and influence to get women, but she was going to think that now. Because instead of telling her that she was smart and capable and the most amazing woman her age he’d ever met, he went and did something stupid like pull her in for a kiss.

She hadn’t stopped him though, at least not until he’d pushed her up on the desk. It had made things more serious. He had no way of knowing her feelings about that, but when she’d returned his kiss, it had just added more fuel to the fire that was burning inside him. The moment that the two of them had spent in each other’s arms was the thing he’d been aching for since the first time she’d wandered into his office. All of the time the two of them had spent together had just made it worse and worse until it boiled over.

He wanted to go after her, but she’d gotten the head start while Preston stood there stupefied at what he’d just done. He’d gone and ruined the one good thing that he had going in his life in one stupid moment, and then he’d let her run out of here and get into the elevator before he’d come to his senses enough to go after her.

Preston wouldn’t have blamed Charlotte if she never wanted to talk to him again, but he couldn’t just let her go without apologizing. He needed her to know that there was so much more to her than that. By the time he got an elevator and got down to the lobby, she was nowhere in sight. He knew her car would be in the garage, but chasing her out there was probably the worst thing he could do right now. It was just going to scare her and make everything worse.

Preston had never been to her apartment, but he did know her address. It had gone on most of the paperwork they’d already filled out upstairs, and it was sitting in his phone as well. He wanted to give her some time to cool off before he went chasing after her,
