Page 13 of Claimed By the Boss

“You shouldn’t have kissedme last night,” she said, finally admitting it.

“Why not?” he asked.

This took her by surprise.She figured the whole boss and employee relationship was obvious, but if heneeded her to spell it out for him, she was going to have to do that.

“You’re my boss,” shesaid. “You and I can’t happen.”

“Why?” he asked, foldinghis arms, and it was then she realized he wasn’t wearing a jacket and thesleeves of his shirt had rolled up.

She had noticed his thickarms before, but had they really been that big? They looked so good. For asplit-second, or perhaps even longer, she thought about how good it would feelto be in those arms. Gabriel was strong. Nothing could break him down.

“Seriously, you’re myboss. What more is there to talk about? You’re a multimillionaire bus—”

“Billionaire,” he said,interrupting her.

“What?”

“I’m a multibillionaire asof a few years ago.”

She took a deep breath.“There you go. That doesn’t help. You’re rich. You’re the boss of this company.I’m just an employee and I work in the mail room. I lived on the streets, andwe are so far apart it is unreal. I don’t know anything about you at all.”

There were so many otherthings she could list, but she figured they were enough to get him to see howincompatible they were.

“Do you want to get toknow me?” he asked.

Okay, that she wasn’texpecting.

“Huh?”

“Well, you see, we’re bothstill human, unless you’re about to tell me you’re from a different planet. So,we’re the same species, and I’m a consenting adult, and you’re a consentingadult. Do you just not like me?” he asked.

“Of course I like you.”

“Then what is the problem?”

“You’re my boss. What iseveryone going to think?” She dropped her arms to her sides. This was notsounding like a good argument. She looked at Gabriel and felt hopeless.

“Then we do this in secretif that is what is important to you, but I can’t get you out of my mind, Nora.I want you, and when I look at you, I have a feeling you want me too.” As hetalked, he got closer to her.

Nora didn’t back away. Shewas not afraid of this man. A little nervous because he evoked feelings she hadnever felt before, and that was scary.Sofreakingscary. She took a deep breath and waited.

“Do you want me?” heasked.

He was suddenly in frontof her and there was no way of escape.

“I have no idea what I’mdoing,” she said.

“Then I’ll lead.” And withthat, he kissed her. This was a soft kiss. Like the merest hint of lips justtouching. Not too intense. Okay, she could handle this, even if it did make hertoes curl in her shoes.

“No one needs to know, ifyou’re afraid of what people think.” He took possession of her lips. “And ifyou don’t know what you’re doing, then you’ll follow my instructions.”

His hands moved to herwaist, and she let out a gasp as he pulled her close. The moment their bodiestouched,she felt the hard ridge of his cock pressingagainst her. It felt so good. She didn’t want him to stop. A little moanescaped her lips.

Opening her eyes, shelooked at him, a little taken aback by how good it sounded at him being incharge.

“Do you have a problemwith that?” he asked.

“Don’t you have rules?”she asked.
