"You're fucking adorable."

She reaches forward, but I quickly pull the stress ball away before she can toss it at me again. I shake my index finger. "What did I say earlier?"

Sienna raises her eyebrows in defiance, but I know for a fact she'd submit to me, and I would enjoy tying her up while bringing her to the peak of pleasure and then back down again until she's begging me to give her exactly what she wants.

ChapterThirty-Three

Sienna

Theo is staring at me like I'm his next meal, and quite frankly, I don't know how to deal with all these conflicted feelings.

"Are you using subterfuge to get into my knickers?" I ask, unable to stop myself.

He studies me for a moment before he gets to his feet and walks towards my office door, and I think my question has pissed him off. But he doesn't leave like I was expecting. I hear the sound of the door closing and the lock clicking before I watch as he goes over to the window and lowers the blinds.

When he turns back to face me, I can't decipher what he's thinking. He wears a blank expression as he moves towards me and walks around my desk, pushing my chair back, his hands firmly on the armrests, leaning down so we're eye level. I can feel the heat from his body, and I can't stop myself from inhaling his scent.

"I would never deceive you, least of all to get into your knickers." His hand grips my jaw firmly as his eyes bore into mine. "I know I've done things to cause you to doubt me, and I don't blame you for questioning my intentions, but my only goal is to prove to you that you can trust me." Lowering his mouth to mine, his kiss is completely dominating.

When he pulls back, his eyes are so hungry with want that I swear if he asked me to, I’d let him bend me over my desk and fuck me.

"Later," he says, giving me one last chaste kiss on the lips before stepping away. He moves back around the desk to retrieve the tray and deftly adds the empty containers and his coke can before turning on his heels and walking out of my office, leaving me rendered speechless.

I'm equal parts excited and fucking terrified. This could all end so badly.

He's my boss and my landlord, not to mention my housemate.

I need some advice, and stat.

I pick up the landline and dial.

"Hello?"

I play with the ring pull of my coke can. "Quinn, it's me," I say.

"Sienna, where are you? Is everything okay?" she asks, and I can hear the worry in her voice.

Sitting back in my chair, I twist from side to side. "Yeah, sorry, just calling from my work phone."

"Wondered why I didn't recognise the number. Hold on, is this the only time you could call me where he who shall not be named can hear you?"

"Ugh, yes. I don't know what to do."

"Do about what? Has something else happened? Is he still being an arse?"

I smile at that. "I almost wish he was still being an arse. It would be easier to stay away."

"Stay away, huh? Are you telling me that instead of staying away from his arse, you finally got to see it?"

An image of him naked immediately comes to mind. "Stop… tell me what to do about this… he's my boss and we live together, for fuck’s sake."

A dog barks and a deep male voice sounds in the background, followed by a girlish giggle from Quinn.

"Woah, who was that?"

"Who? Nell? She's just a sweet sheepdog who belongs to Bonnie, the owner of the cottage I'm staying at."

"Cute, but you know damn well I wasn't talking about the dog."
