Fuck.
Here’s the mindfuck. The more I was around her, the more I watched her and the more I was impressed by her work ethic and creative ideas... and the fact is I like her.
More than once I’ve had to hide my smile or walk away because I want to pull her mouth to mine and kiss her, like I’m a proud... ugh boyfriend, I guess.
So being near her is a problem.
“Keep your eyes and mitts off Payton Mills,” I grumbled and grabbed my jacket. “Let’s go out for lunch.”
“Oh, my god. Knox, do you like her?” Levis asked, and grinned the entire time we walked through the office.
Payton shot us a confused look, and I glared back at her. Which is the opposite of what I want to do. I want to know how she was feeling. What she was thinking. But that’s completely inappropriate. How does one even ask something like that?
So, how’s your pussy after you fingered yourself and made me come?
Christ.
But I want to know. I want... a lot of things when it comes to her.
In the elevator, I had turned to Levis and snapped.
“Do not say that kind of shit in the office. I don’t like Payton. I am not fucking anyone. And if anything got out that I did, it would ruin my chances of securing Dad’s job.”
Levis was almost my size—big in normal terms—and began laughing. He wasn’t intimidated at all.
“Sorry, Knox.” He kept chuckling. “Look, I want you to get Dad’s job, I really do. But I’ve never seen you be so defensive about a girl.”
“Payton is a woman, not a girl.”
Shit.
He got the bite he wanted out of me.
“It’s not about her, it’s about the job. Don’t you want a Montgomery in the CEO position? To protect all of us, and our father's investment.”
“Yes, but I’d also like to take that girl out on a date. And when I say date, I mean—”
“Her name is Payton,” I snapped.
“So that’s a no?” he asked, and I shoved him. “Fine, hands off. I get it. But if you want his job, you can’t have her either.”
I know.
I fucking know!
Payton turns around, snapping me back to the present, and I notice her cheeks are rosy today.
Did she get laid?
Is she sleeping with someone?
Not my business, but I grit my teeth to stop from making it my business.
“We ready?” I ask.
“Yes,” Payton says, tugging her bag up on her shoulder.
Right then. Here we go.
