Then I remembered. “I have a meeting at seven at Christie’s. Can we push it an hour?”
He strolled over to me. “Cancel it.”
“Not sure I can.”
He flicked a stray hair out of my eyes. “Do I need to fuck some sense into you?” He arched an amused brow. “Again?”
“That won’t be necessary.”
He leaned in and kissed me leisurely, his scalding hot mouth owning mine with each sweep of his tongue. “Good.”
My body liquefied when he broke away.
Tobias strolled over to the blinds and with a curl of his fingers sunlight burst back into the room.
He let out a deep sigh. “You’re extraordinary.”
Rousing from this luxurious reality, I felt like I’d reached the surface after swimming from the very depths of the ocean to awaken—
Letting him take me like this couldn’t go on. I couldn’t repeat this level of intensity and continue as though I’d never met this man. He was leaving for the States, for goodness’ sake.
Yet I knew denying myself him was near impossible. Oh my God, I’d just doneitin my office.
Withhim.
A man I hardly knew, gorgeous, yes, but outrageously controlling.
I straightened my skirt. “This is Britain, Mr. Wilder, not the Wild West.”
He paused by the door and gave a heart-stopping smile.
Damn him, for making me giddy with excitement, my knees weak, these butterflies in my stomach threatening to last forever.
Tobias unlocked the door and strolled out with the same swagger he’d walked in with.
I could still smell him on me.
Wilder had just branded me with his scent.

Huntly Pierre’s team were gathered for their five o’clock meeting.
I put my game face on, conveying a purely business attitude, not wanting to give anything away about my late lunch meeting that had morphed into a sex romp around my office with one of our most distinguished clients.
Tobias William Wilder,fricking hell, even his name was fused with sensuality.
Having spent the last twenty minutes gathering myself in the restroom, working on my hair and reapplying makeup, I now tried to wipe this ridiculous grin off my face.
My insides were melting just thinking of him.
Tobias had just turned my world upside down and I kept reliving every delicious detail, savoring every kiss, every touch and every move he’d made to rock my world just now.
Pulling out a chair, I blew out a concentrated breath to get me back in the zone as I joined them at the conference table.
Lead investigator Abby Reynolds sat at the end of the table working away on a text. Her sharp eyes seemingly not missing anything when they rose to meet mine, and she frowned her response.
I threw her a professional smile and self-consciously ran my fingers through my hair, reassuring myself I’d tamed these post-fucked curls.
