“You still need to wait for me.”
And there it was.
She froze. “Why?”
“Because I’ll be taking you home.”
What?
Faith turned toward him, watching as he put on his suit jacket and adjusted the cuffs.
Why was that so sexy?
All he was doing was putting on a jacket. But she’d always been a sucker for a man in a suit.
She didn’t know why. Matt hadn’t even owned one. Just getting him into a button-up shirt was a miracle.
Urgh, why did she keep doing this? She had to stop comparing Matt to Reuben.
Matt was kind. Gentle. He’d always listened to her. He’d let her do whatever she wanted when she wanted.
She’d been the one who’d ruined things. Who’d let Matt down.
It wasn’t fair to compare him to this man. Reuben was everything she didn’t want in a man.
Right?
Right.
Even if he was incredibly sexy.
“Come,” he said. Placing a hand on the small of her back, he directed her through the door to her office.
“I need my handbag.”
She stepped away and grabbed her handbag, putting the strap over her shoulder before he led her to the elevator.
Faith swallowed heavily as she stared at the closed elevator doors. “You know what? I think I’ll take the stairs.”
What if the electricity went out while they were in the elevator? She didn’t like those small metal death traps at the best of times, but right now the thought of getting into one made her want to vomit.
She’d just turned toward the stairwell when he grabbed her around the waist again. “You’re taking the elevator.”
“No. Nope. I’ll take the stairs. And I think I can get myself home.”
“I’m taking you home. Unless you’d rather come to my home.”
No. No, she would rather not do that. She shook her head.
“And you’re not taking the stairs. We’re thirty floors up. I know you don’t like elevators, but I’m not going to let anything happen to you.”
So it would take her a while to get down. She could manage it now that the electricity was back on. Better than plunging to her death when the electricity went out again.
He lifted her up and carried her into the elevator.
“Hey!” she cried out. “You can’t just pick me up and put me where you want me.”
“Why not?”
