Fuck! He had to go there.

Every time she stepped out of the conference room to go to the bathroom, my eyes couldn’t help but caress the roundness of her ass. My cock stiffened each and every time. I had to suppress a moan to avoid Rhys’s already suspicious gaze. I won’t lie, I prayed she’d keep drinking liquids. The struggle between wanting to bite said fine ass and bend her over my knee to leave my imprint for daring to taunt me like that was real. It was a brutal mental battle, but in the end, I had to suppress the urge… and ignore my hard-on.

Damn her.

When Rhys wasn’t watching, I tested the conference room table for sturdiness. In my defense, twelve days without pussy is a bitch. Once we’d parted ways after the power outage, I resigned myself she’d remain a mystery I was destined to elevate to a full-blown fantasy. Now, she’s a temptation within reach… one I can’t have.

“You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, Hartford.”

“Do you think I’m blind? You were hanging on her every word.”

“What she had to say was insightful.”

“You were laying it on thick, as if your life depended on it.”

“I’m always charming.”

“You were lathering her with charm.”

“Like you weren’t trying hard.”

“I was concerned your intense focus would scare the poor woman away.”

“Oh, give it a break.” I roll my eyes.

“I’ll concede, she’s incredibly attractive, she has a banging body—despite the conservative suit—and her brain is damn sexy, but at least I can control myself, unlike you.”

“I can control myself!”

He gives a small smile.

He’s unconvinced.

“Just make sure to remember she’s untouchable,” he says.

“I don’t need a lecture, Dad.”

“Glad to hear we’re on the same wavelength, son.”

I should let it go, but I can’t.

“For the record, my interest in Arianne is strictly professional.” I can’t believe I managed to say that with a straight face. “Never mind she’s on contract and doesn’t fall under the non-fraternization clause—”

Shit.

I curse my mouth.

“I knew it!” Rhys’s smile is dangerous. “You’ve been obsessing about her all day long.”

“I haven’t!” I say, a little too quickly.

He shoots me an incredulous side gaze.

A few short minutes pass as we focus on our drinks.

“Thanks for reminding me of the terms of our office romance policy,” Rhys says, breaking the silence.

My head whips in his direction.
