Chapter 9

Evan called her office at exactly nine a.m. Monday morning. Lucy was a little pissed he hadn’t called over the weekend, during which time she’d gone from being completely mortified by her actions to wanting to do it again. She had resisted the urge to go back to the bar by power-cleaning her apartment. And when it was spotless, she went into the office and attacked her backlog. Jenny probably hated her right now because of all the new filing she had to do.

“Hi, Evan,” Lucy said, her body preparing to hear his sexy voice.

“Counselor. You’ve been in my thoughts.”

He didn’t disappoint. She shivered in reaction. “I’m glad,” she said.

“Are you? Because I don’t think you know what you’ve gotten into. First of all, you’re staying with me tonight. After work, go home and pack a bag.”

Lucy let him think he could be this forceful with her because she wanted nothing but to follow those orders. However, if he thought it was going to be this easy all the time, he was in for a big surprise. “Do you want me to wear anything special?” she teased.

“My handcuffs.”

Sweet heaven, how am I going to last until tonight?

“You should know that there’s no going back, Lucy. You’re my old lady now. You made that decision on your knees with my cock in your mouth.”

Lucy fanned herself with her planner. She loved it when he talked dirty. “So we’re dating?”

“I don’t date. I’m not going to take you to the movies. I’m not going to go out dancing with you.”

“We’ll see about that,” she said. He wasn’t going to take her for granted either.

“So let me tell you about being with me. You don’t go out with Munson anymore. You sure as shit don’t get on another man’s bike.”

“So we’re exclusive?” Lucy wanted to make sure that this was not going to be a one-way street.

“Abso-damn-lutely.”

Lucy gave a fist pump. Yes! “Does that mean you’re finally going to”—she lowered her voice—”fuck me, instead of just playing around?”

“Don’t tempt me, Lucy. I’m on a hair trigger right now. I will ride up to your office and bend you over your desk.”

It was a good thing she’d taken care of all that paperwork this weekend, then.

“Doesn’t sound like there’s a downside, Evan. Why haven’t we done this before now?”

“I am not a civilized man, sweetheart.”

Good. Civilized is boring.

“I am not easy to get along with, and you’re in for a bumpy ride.”

She sure hoped so. “The harder the better.”

“Keep it up. I hope you’re wearing that garter belt.”

“Not to work,” she said.

“Then I hope you have a spare pair of pantyhose in your desk because I’m just going to rip them off you.”

Lucy wondered if he could hear how he affected her breathing. “Evan,” she whispered.

“Soon,” he crooned back. “I’m going to be balls deep inside your hot pussy tonight.”

Lucy took a deep, shaking breath. “You’re a little intense this morning.”
