CHAPTER 1

Harley

“You in, Dr. Donaghy?”

My head jerked up at the familiar low, throaty voice.

“I thought you might want a coffee.”

My heart skipped a beat as Makayla walked through the open door of my office. One hand held a steaming coffee, the other played with the pearl buttons on her white blouse, her fingers slipping past the silky fabric to run down her cleavage.

Makayla worked one floor above me with the Strategic Synergy PR firm. And I tried not to look too long at her, at how elegant and tall she was, how her brown hair fell in long shining waves down her back. How tight her skirt was, how long those legs were.

It’s wrong to touch. But it can’t be wrong tolook.

Especially when she’s looking back at me, and I can read the expression in her eyes perfectly.

If only it wasn’t forbidden

If only you weren’t such an honorable man

Makayla perched her tight little ass in that pencil skirt on the edge of my desk and held up the cup of coffee.

As she leaned forward, I saw a peek of her lacy bra and the tantalizing curves of her breasts.

“Oops, a little spilled,” she laughed, holding up her fingers where a tiny creamy drop had landed and was rolling down to her palm. Then her wet pink tongue darted out and she lickedslowlyup the lucky line of coffee.

I felt sweat break out under my collar as I tightened my hand around the fountain pen.

What had I just written?

But with Makayla here, it was impossible to concentrate.

“Thank you,” I said, our fingers brushing as she handed me the steaming cup.

But I did not do what I wanted. I did not seize her in my arms and ravish her on the table.

Even though sweat rolled down my back and my cock twitched, I maintained full control over my lust.

After all, I would never cheat on my wife.

Because I absolutelylovedLily-Mae. Wonderful supportive woman.

We had been together since she was in college and I was a grad student.

17 wonderful years, our dream home, and two rambunctious boys later, I would absolutely take a bullet for her.

But.

But.

Sometimes I wondered what else was out there. . .

When we met I was a tall, awkward man with shaggy hair and glasses. Very much a nerd. Barely knew how to talk to people really.
