Page 47 of Billionaire Boss's One Night Stand

The last time I had her held up against the wall was that first night, when I walked her over to the hotel next to the bar. That night, I had picked her up and kept her high within my embrace so I could kiss her and pleasure her.

Now, I struggled not to let my thoughts go back there—yet.

“What do you mean,what’s wrong?” she snapped.

Anger glittered in her bright green eyes. Her plump lips stayed pursed in a sassy scowl.

“We were… caught. He walked in on us, and I’ve been nervous that every day I came into work, it would be my last.”

I shook my head. “I don’t think he’s said anything.”

“Yet.” She narrowed her eyes, as if daring me to say something else. “That doesn’t mean he won’t. And when he does,I’llbe the one in trouble.”

“I would be too. I know better.”

She crossed her arms, defiant. “I thought I knew better too.”

“But hehasn’tsaid anything yet.”

“Maybe to mess with us. He knows that we know he knows about us. With the way he’s been acting this week, maybe he’s holding off on telling anyone and reporting about us because he wants to mess with us and make us squirm.

“I’m his boss. Hecan’tmake me squirm.” I considered another possibility. “Is he bothering you?”

“What? What do you mean?”

“He’s been an ass to everyone this week. At first, I thought he was just bitter, that after flirting with you and going nowhere for months, he’s frustrated to see that you’re really not interested in him if you’re doing something else with someone else.”

“Like you?” She huffed. “Someone I have no business messing around with here?”

I wanted her to have the right to mess around with me—here or anywhere else. It was a shock to realize it, but that was the truth. I wanted to belong to her. To be hers.

“Has he been bothering you? Or threatening you about this?”

She smirked, looking away for a moment before laying her peeved jade gaze on me again. “Why?”

I scowled. “Why?”

“Yeah. Why do you even care?”

I did, but I hadn’t exactly expressed that. Yet. “Of course, I care.”

She deadpanned at me, unconvinced.

“Why would you think I didn’t care?”

“Look at us, Matt. We’re toxic people around each other. We’re always butting heads and arguing. Always ready to fight.”

I shrugged. That just showed how much we affected each other.

“We haven’t gotten along since I started working here. We can work together, but other than that?” She grunted a weak laugh.

“I care.”

“About me?” She arched a brow.

“Yes. How can you think that I don’t after…” I licked my lips and stepped closer. “After I kissed you?”

Her lids lowered, and I fell in love with the dark lashes lying on her smooth skin. So coy, so delicate. So gorgeous and demure.
