Chapter 5
First Day of Work
––––––––
Oh god. Why me?
Chase stood in the middle of his office, half naked and spouting orders to Lucy and me.
An orange towel was wrapped around Chase’s waist. Beads of water from his shower decorated his chest.
Every inch of him was sleek with coiled muscle. Not one mark or blemish existed anywhere on his tan skin. An impressive bulge pushed against the front of his towel and promised a hot night of wet orgasms.
The space overflowed with the seductive scent of expensive soap and male.
He’s not sexy. He’s your boss. You don’t want to slip your hands down his abs. I attempted to focus on anything but him.
Chase stalked over to his desk, picked up both of the coffees I’d brought, and turned to me. “Jasmine, what’s this?”
“Well, I thought I would give you a choice between your old coffee and one I believe you may like much better.”
“Did you put my food likes and dislikes in the binder?” Chase asked Lucy as he took off the lid of the new coffee I bought him and sniffed it.
“Yes.” Lucy scowled at me. “I typed in bold that you expect a large dark roast coffee and wheat bagel from Brew and Bake shop.”
I’d gone down to Brew and Bake as they opened at 6:30am, bought two pairs of coffee and bagel orders for him and me.
One sip of the murky liquid almost made me vomit in my mouth. The bagels were stale and at least a day old. Even worse, the cashier totaled my order at thirty dollars.
Which proves a high price doesn’t always mean better.
I raced to Mama Jane’s Pit, grabbed two regular coffees and her best baked treats.
“So you give me two coffees just in case I want another choice?” Chase raised his eyebrows. “Even though Lucy’s manual is adamant about my coffee preference.”
“Yes,” I whispered.
Lucy sighed. “I also explained several times that you hate straying from your usual routine.”
Tattle teller.
He smirked. “So then you think my coffee choice wasn’t appropriate?”
Understatement. It tastes like the bottom of someone’s shoe.
I swallowed. “I just thought you might like the new one, but I promise not to change the order again, in the future.”
