Like being bent over my desk, clad only in panties.

Our eyes met, and a slight blush spread across her cheeks as recognition and realization hit. The receptionist turned and led me into Serena’s office.

I mentally ordered myself to calm down as molten waves of pleasure crashed through me.

“I’ll just let her know you’re here. Is there anything I can get you to drink while you wait?”

“No, I’m fine. But thank you for your help.”

As soon as she left the room, I looked around her office.

The walls were decorated with diplomas, certificates, and news articles of renowned successful cases.

No artwork, no memorabilia, no overly feminine touches.

I walked over to the window and saw the mundane view, blocked by a massive skyscraper next door.

It only took me a few paces before I was back at her desk.

That’s when I noticed the pictures near her computer.

One frame held a picture of the two guys, one of which I recognized from the garage. I’m guessing they’re her father and brother from the family resemblance.

Another photo was of a couple with two young girls, and the final was of her and another woman sipping cocktails on a beach somewhere.

Given the sparseness of her office, it was evident that the people in those pictures must mean a great deal to her as they were the only glimpse she showed of her private life. Was this her inner circle?

I put the picture back in its place and checked the time. It had been almost ten minutes since I was brought in, and she still hadn’t come to see me.

Annoyance again burned in me, and I went to the door just as Serena walked straight into me.

Her smoldering eyes saw right through me. Her breasts brushed up against my chest, and her breath came fast, and again, a blush tinged her cheeks.

“Mr Chambers, you startled me.”

She regained her composure, and I reluctantly let her out of my grasp.

“I was told you have an urgent matter to discuss?”

She dived around me and walked towards her desk.

“Please, take a seat,” she offered.

I tried to gauge her physical reaction to my presence as she walked around her desk.

Despite her attempts to stay calm and professional, I noticed her eyes blinking more rapidly than usual, her breathing was short and clipped, and she continuously ran the palm of her hands down her hips as though to straighten her skirt, despite there not being a wrinkle in sight.

“I’m here, because I was made to believe that the meeting I had scheduled this morning was to be with you.”

I did my best to hide my frustration, but how she raised her eyebrows showed she’d caught on.

“Well, as I’m sure my associates made clear to you, I had an issue that came up here that required my attention. Was there a problem in the meeting? Or do you have qualms with Mr. Anderson leading the meeting? If that is the case, he is one of my firm’s best associates, if not the best. He is always prepared and is a keen, driven, and hard worker.”

Well, it looked like my sexy little bundle’s feisty side was out to play.

I wondered if she was as fiery in bed as she was in protecting her staff.

I couldn’t help but grin, and when our eyes met again, I realized I wanted her now more than ever.
