Page 29 of Billionaire Boss's One Night Stand

They saw it all. This lapse in my sanity and judgment to almost kiss this sexy, smart blonde who'd captured all my thoughts. Who endeared me to her with her resilience on the job.

Dammit.

“Maybe we should…” She cleared her throat, still affected by that almost-moment.

“Yeah.” I gestured for her to precede me back into the conference room. She was blushing too badly to be expected to say anything, so I did. I redirected the team to the lists of fixes they could implement, then left to continue my work back in my office.

Obviously, it was too risky to corner Loren for a private word or two.

My concentration was shot for the rest of the evening. I stayed in my office, trying to focus on the things I wanted to review, but every time I noticed a jotted-down note or phrase fromheron the shared electronic docs, I groaned at the reminder of the woman I wanted and couldn’t have.

She hovered at the periphery of my attention, and I felt half crazy when I caught sight of her gathering her things to leave for the night.

Unsurprisingly, she was the last team member to leave. That was how dedicated a worker she was.

I sighed, leaning back in my chair as I watched her walk down the hallway.

If I wasn’t able to banish her from my mind, I was only left with the option of wondering what it would be like to have her again.

Here, on my desk. Her lying back and those golden waves splayed out on the wood.

I got harder the further I fell into one of my favorite fantasies.

Everyone would be gone. Just me and her, late at the office like usual.

Because I’d be damned if I wanted to let another person see her in the throes of hot sex.

She’d prop her feet up on the edge of the desk before I grabbed her hips and pulled that sweet ass until it hovered at the edge, wide open and waiting for me.

I groaned, feeling the pressure of my dick hardening more.

“Stop.” I rubbed my eyes and shook my head.

I would drive myself insane with these daydreams.

As difficult as it was, I had to stop wondering what it might take to push her into reacting to me, showing me another display of that passion I had no right to miss.

LOREN

Ididn’t dare look back as I left work, but I felt the burn of his stare on my back.

With all these modernistic, fancy glass walls, nothing was hidden here.

We sure didn’t hide anything when he asked to speak to me in the hallway.

I huffed a laugh as I exited the building, late at night. Matt didn’t ask to speak with me. He’d ordered it, and I felt so ashamed and silly to like that tone and attitude from him. It was similar to how he’d gotten during our one night together. When he’d get a little more dominant and tell me what he wanted from me, then switching to a tender lover and asking me what I needed from him.

How could he be such a great guy between the sheets but a crappy man at the office? It was starting to seem like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation. Hot and cold.

I supposed I had no right to anticipate warmth from him, though. Despite the hungry, hot way he stared at me when I almost lost my common sense and kissed him, he wasn’t inclined to pursue anything but a work relationship with me.

And that’s how it should be, right? Just focus on work. Buckle down and do your job. Nothing more.

That was what I should’ve listened to. I had no right to want him, but his leaning close to me was a mixed message.

Does he want me, too, but won’t admit it or act on it because we work at the same office?
