“Pineapple juice or coffee. You also like water with cucumber and mint in it. Which is just weird.”
“It is not! It’s delicious!” She frowned. He was doing far better at this than she thought he would.
“My favorite television show.”
He stared at her for a long moment, then he smiled. “That reality baking show.”
Her mouth dropped open. “All right, how did you know that?”
Was he stalking her?
“I heard you talking to that woman that brings food up from the café below, asking her about what was going on and lamenting that you hadn’t seen the latest shows. Then I caught you watching it on your computer. At work.”
She could feel herself growing pale. “I, um, that was on my own time!”
“On my computer.”
“I’m really sorry. Am I fired?”
“What did I say about getting fired?”
“That you wouldn’t fire me, but you would punish me in other ways.”
Which kind of sounded worse.
Maybe.
“I’d also like to point out that last night I had my tongue in your pussy. Do you really think I’d fire you over something you did two weeks ago after I found out how good your pussy tastes?”
“Reuben!” she protested. “You can’t say things like that.”
He lifted her onto his lap and spooned up some yogurt. “I can say whatever I like. I’m the boss. At work and at home. And you know it.”
Boy, did she know it.
He fed her more yogurt.
“So, do you have any more issues with moving in with me?” he asked.
“I just . . . I don’t think it’s the right time. I mean, am I really who you want?”
“You’re the only woman I’ve dated in years. The only assistant who’s lasted longer than a week. The only Little I’ve ever been with outside the club. Do you really think that I haven’t thought this through? That I don’t know what I want?” He touched her cheek, turning her to face him.
“All right, I believe you’ve thought about it. But maybe you could give me a few minutes to catch up.”
“A few minutes? I can do that.”
She groaned. He knew she hadn’t meant that literally.
“Come with me.” He set her on her feet and took hold of her hand. Then he led her through the enormous apartment. Seriously, this place was gorgeous.
Opening a door, he took her into the most amazing room she’d ever seen.
“A library?” she whispered. “You have a library in your home?”
“I do.”
Three walls were filled with wooden bookshelves that went up to the ceiling. The fourth wall had two big two windows that flanked a gas fireplace.
