I managed a stiff smile. “Yes.”
“I love you in a towel, but you might need more clothes than that for the office.”
“Right.” With the towel tucked around me, I hurried out to my bag.
I wasn’t in love with Kavner. We barely knew each other. It was just the hot sex clouding things. Shoving those thoughts aside, I dressed in black pants and a gray shirt. I picked up the emerald necklace, my hands clenching on the chain. Without thinking about it, I slipped it on and tucked it under my shirt.
In the kitchen, we had a quick breakfast and coffee. I pulled out my cellphone and frowned. I’d expected my sunrise photo from Lexxie. My sister never missed a chance to share her work. I shot her a quick text message.
While I waited for a reply, I ate my toast. When I didn’t hear back, I guessed she was out of cellphone range. Probably photographing lizards or something.
Kavner held my hand as we took the elevator one floor down to his office. There was a woman sitting at the sleek reception desk. She smiled at us.
“Good morning, Mr. Fury. Agent Coleman.”
“Good morning, Alana.” Kavner led me into his office.
“How does she know my name?”
“I had you added to our database. Security will let you in whenever you want.”
Oh? Kavner’s office looked exactly like the last time I’d visited with immaculate modern lines. I really did like the large potted plant in the corner, and the bold painting on the wall.
He saw me eyeing it. “The artist has a showing coming up. I’ll take you.”
“Kavner.” The young man I’d talked with at the auction house strode in, looking like he’d run his hand through his hair several times. “I have so many things for you to sign. And Morton is after a meeting. You know how pushy he gets.” The man saw me and stopped. “Oh. Hello.”
“Hi,” I said.
“London, this is my hard-working assistant, Austin.”
“Overworked assistant,” Austin countered. He dropped a stack of files on Kavner’s desk.
“I’ll make sure your bonus is a healthy one.” Kav tapped the files. “And don’t worry, I’ll deal with these.”
“I wanted to schedule a few meetings—”
“Not this morning.” Kavner ushered Austin out and closed the door.
I wandered over to his desk, touching the cool marble slab. Kavner sat in his office chair.
God. With the wall of glass behind him, he made a picture. The powerful man in a suit, looking like every workplace fantasy.
“I recognize that look,” he drawled.
“You’re hot. Especially in a suit, looking all Master of the Universe.”
He sat back in his chair, his eyes hooded. “Come here.”
“Mr. Fury, you’re not suggesting something inappropriate, are you?” But I did as he asked and circled his big desk. “Because if you don’t sign those things, Austin might explode.”
Kav pulled me onto his lap, and nibbled my lips. “I don’t want to talk about Austin right now, and I think of inappropriate things every time I look at you.”
My phone vibrated in my pocket, but I ignored it.
He kissed me again and I moaned. I grabbed his tie and pulled him closer. “You are a big distraction.”
He gave my bottom lip a nip.
