Their gazes locked.

They’d just done exactly what shedidn’twant to have happen again.

Bullshit. That’s all you’ve wanted to do since you met the man, pretty much.

“We … we can’t do that again,” she said.

He nodded. “Right.”

“You’re my boss.”

“I am.”

She was out of breath. “But … just so we’re clear, there was no coercion or manipulation. No abuse of power. I’m not going,” she pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart hammer beneath her palm, “to file a sexual harassment complaint or anything.”

He nodded again, then the corner of his mouth ticked up playfully on one side. “I mean therewasa little bit of manipulation.”

Her brows lifted.

“You manipulated me with your feminine wiles. Abused the power that your butt has in those pants.”

She burst out laughing and swatted his chest with the back of her hand. “Are we going to play that game? Because …”

He sobered quickly. “No. You’re right. We can’t do that again. It has the potential to get very messy.”

With a curt head bob, she let her gaze settle on the doorknob. “So long as we’re in agreement.”

“We are. Totally.”

“Excellent.”

He turned the doorknob. “Fantastic.”

Her gaze met his. “Superb.”

“Perfect.”

“Wonderful.”

“Glad we’re on the same page.” His nostrils flared and flames flickered behind his eyes.

“Same page, same chapter, same sentence,” she added.

He released the knob. “One more time to get it out of our systems?”

“Absolutely.”

Then he attacked her mouth once more.

CHAPTER TWELVE

Whatthehellwaswrong with him?

He had absolutely no self-restraint when it came to Chloe.

Now that he’d had her, he just wanted more. And more. And more.

They were supposed to talk, and clear the air, but instead they fucked each other’s brains out—twice.
