“That may be all you need from me today, Ms. Adams. But there’s always tomorrow. Follow me.” He turned and walked away, leaving me staring after him.
I won’t need you tomorrow either.I thought it but didn’t say it. I wasn’t about to argue with a man who was born a whole decade after me. Even so, the petty side of me wanted to walk in the opposite direction.
I wasn’t a fan of men telling me what to do. Especially not when I was old enough to be their mother. Or, rather, their big sister. Their aunt or something. I watched him walk away, noting the expanse of his broad shoulders.
I hated to admit it, but he had a nice butt. I’d bet his entire body was toned. Yeah, he was definitely crush material for young girls, just not for a grown woman like me. Julian stopped and looked over his shoulder at me.
Busted!I’d been caught staring at the man’s ass.Earth, swallow me whole again!His smirk widened. He didn’t even try to be polite and pretend like he hadn’t just caught me staring at his ass.
“If you keep staring at me like that, Ms. Adams, I’m going to start thinking you need something different from me.”
“I wasn’t staring.”
“You were. But I don’t mind. That makes us even now.”
“Even?”
“Yeah, even. I watched your sexy ass while you walked around lost on campus. And now, you’ve stared at mine. We’re even.”
Oh no, he didn’t just say that to me!
“Come on, Ms. Adams. Follow me, and I’ll take you exactly where you need to be.”
My mouth went dry as he winked at me and continued forward, leaving me behind with my mouth hanging open. I shook my head, mind unable to form a coherent retort at the moment. Julian Cattaneo was trouble with a capital T.
It would be best for everyone if I stayed as far away from him as possible. Unfortunately, I needed his help. So, against my better judgment, I followed. I’d let him help me this time. After today, I’d never have to see his smug, handsome face again.
Or that nice tight ass of his.
