I begin to slow down, completely out of breath. We’re both a sweaty, dirty mess. He rains kisses all over my chest, neck and face. “No one makes me feel the way you do, Cassandra.” I know the feeling. “I want this back.”

I do too. I can’t deny it anymore. Trevor Knight, the king of the hard fuck, is back in town, and I want him in my life. I want him in my bed. I’m not sure that I’m quite ready to admit that out loud to him just yet, but I’m not ignorant to the truth.

CHAPTERSEVEN

CASSANDRA

It’s about 6:00 at the end of the workday on Monday. Beth is in my office discussing a file. I like the way her mind works. She doesn’t get pushed around easily, like most young associates.

I’m not sure Alexandra can negotiate like Beth does, and Alexandra has been doing this much longer. There’s a fire in Beth that can’t be taught. You’re born with it. You either have it or you don’t. Despite her youth and relative inexperience, she has it.

I will wait a little longer, just to make sure she knows what she’s doing, but she’s definitely ready to handle her own files, not just assist on Alexandra’s and mine. Her talents are wasted simply assisting on files.

My assistant, Julia, buzzes me. “Ms. Blackstone, there’s a gentleman here to see you. I don’t see an appointment on your calendar though. Shall I let him through?”

I pinch my eyebrows at Beth. She shrugs her shoulders. “What’s his name?”

“He told me to tell you that it’s yourknightin shining armor. He said to stress the word knight.” I smile. Trevor. She whispers, “He’s very good-looking.”

I grin at Beth. “We can always make time for good-looking men, right Beth?” She laughs as she nods in agreement. “Send him right in, Julia. Thank you.”

I stand as Trevor enters my office. He must have come from his office. He’s wearing a perfectly tailored suit. I rarely see him dressed like this. Oh my. He looks insanely hot, and extremely mature. He struts straight toward me, like a man on a mission.

I see Beth’s stunned reaction to the gorgeous man walking in. Her eyes open wide and her mouth falls open. I don’t blame her. He’s a sight to behold.

“Beth, this is Trev…” Before I have a chance to finish, he dips me back and crashes his lips to mine. I hesitate for a moment, but then I wrap my arms around him as his tongue pushes into my mouth. He has one arm around my back, holding me close to him, while his other hand is on the back of my head, grabbing my hair.

He kisses me long and hard. This is a greeting I can get used to. I may even moan, because I feel him smile against my lips.

He eventually pulls back, and sets me on my feet. I’m a bit out of breath. He flashes me his big Trevor smile. “Hey, Sexy. Did you have a good day?”

I look at Beth, and see the look of complete surprise in her face at the scene in front of her. Maybe a little bit of envy too. “What, Beth? I can still hook a young, hot one now and then. This old girl still has a few tricks up her sleeve.” Trevor and I both laugh.

Trevor sticks out his hand to Beth. “Hi, I’m Trevor. Cassandra’s boy toy.”

Beth slowly shakes his hand. “Umm, hi. Nice to meet you.”

I shake my head. “He’s not my boy toy, Beth. He just uses me for my hot body. Right, Trevor?” I wink at him.

He’s still smiling. “Totally.” He looks me up and down with obvious appreciation, as he gives an exaggerated lick of his lips.

I turn to Beth. “We’ll pick this up tomorrow. Apparently, I have a meeting that requires my immediate attention.”

Trevor nods. “She does. Said meeting absolutely involves that hot body.”

Beth lets out a nervous laugh. I think we’ve completely shocked her. “O-kay. No problem. Have a good night you two.”

Trevor smiles. “Wedefinitelywill.”

She leaves, and wisely closes the door behind her.

“That was quite an entrance, young man.”

“That’s how I roll, Sexy.”

“Is that my official new nickname?”

“I believe it is.”
