He filled her world. Took her breath.
And when he drew away from her, all she wanted was more of him. Her hands gripped his arms. She wished she could beg him to stay. It was all she could do to bite the words back.
“I need to head to the airport,” he said, cupping the side of her face. “Be a good girl and be ready for Steven to take you home at five, understand?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll call. I want your phone charged and on you at all times.”
“Yes, Sir.” Huh, the haze of pleasure was disappearing with each bossy command.
“Look at me,” he told her.
As she gazed up into his gorgeous face. He ran a thumb over her lower lip. “So fucking beautiful. I should make you come with me.”
“No.” This was one thing she wouldn’t give in on.
His gaze narrowed. “You know that word doesn’t exist when you’re speaking to me.”
“Please don’t make me. I can’t.”
His face softened. “Then be a good girl. Don’t make me regret leaving you behind.”

He’d already sent her one rule this morning. Obedience. Of course he would make that the first rule.
Sitting behind her desk, she jumped as her phone buzzed. Picking it up, she checked it.
Reuben: What time did you leave the office today?
She rolled her eyes. Hello to you too.
Wait. He didn’t know, did he? He couldn’t.
Unless he had Steven reporting to him. Of course he did.
“Why didn’t I think of that?” she muttered to herself. “That tattletale.”
Maybe she could pretend that she hadn’t seen the message. Faith bit her lip. But he would have seen that the message was read.
Fudge knuckles.
