Where had she put it?
“Faith!” he called.
Where was she? Why wasn’t she coming?
“Faith, get in here!”
“Yes, sir?” she asked, shuffling into the room.
Why was she wincing? Was she injured? “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” she said hastily.
Oh, she really had to learn not to lie to him. He leaned back in his chair, studying her. She looked pale, her freckles more obvious than normal. Was she using her drink bottle?
He didn’t know why he’d been unable to resist the urge to buy it for her. Could he make it a condition of employment that she had to drink and eat regularly?
Hmm. Probably not.
“You want to try that again?” he asked in a low voice.
“I just overdid things this weekend.”
Jealousy flooded him. She’d overdone things? What things?
Reuben had to take a deep breath to calm himself.
She isn’t for you.
“Who is he?” he demanded.
“This jerk my friend is married to,” she muttered.
“You’re sleeping with your friend’s husband?” That was completely unexpected.
Shock filled her face. “What? No! Ew. Why would I want to sleep with him?”
“That’s what you just said. That you’re sore from having sex with your friend’s husband.”
Her mouth dropped open. He resisted the urge to get up and do something with that luscious mouth. He just wasn’t sure if he wanted to shut it, kiss it, or fuck it.
This wasn’t good.
You need to get this girl out of your life. The longer she’s in it, the more obsessed you’re becoming.
“Gardening,” she managed to choke out. “We were gardening.”
Gardening? Was that code for something else?
He watched her closely. “Gardening?”
“Yes. Really. God, I’d never have sex with Eric.” She wrinkled her nose, as though she’d smelled something rotten.
It was adorable.
No! No, not adorable.
He did not find this naive, ridiculous, frustrating woman adorable.
