He closed the door after them, swaggering in our direction. “Whew, Mr. CEO. You know how to put a fire under their butts.”
Chuckling, I glanced from my new VP, winking before offering my own smile toward my other VP. “It had to be done. Something is going on, the threats that have been made unacceptable. I will flush out who is responsible. And no one is going to try and take down this company.”
He threw his arm toward Selena. “You worked with your father for almost two years.”
Selena eyed him warily before accepting the gesture. “I did, but that doesn’t mean I’ll give off any trade secrets.”
Timothy laughed. “I wouldn’t expect you would. I have a feeling you’re going to be very good for this company.”
“Well, I have several creative ideas already to help boost sales and attract other artists.”
“I think I can speak for our illustrious leader that we both look forward to that. If you don’t mind, I have a golf game to get to.”
“I didn’t know you played golf,” I told him.
He rolled his eyes. “A celebrity thing. Don’t get me started. I suck at it but my wife is insisting.”
“Good for you.”
He gave a salute, as he often had in the past in jest before walking out.
As soon as he did, Selena exhaled, her shoulders slumping. “Wow. They don’t like me.”
“They don’t need to like you, my darling cupcake. They simply need to be terrified of you and what you will do.”
She’d been working diligently, coming close to getting into a file my father had hidden extremely well. It hadn’t been in the directory and if she hadn’t been searching for something else, she would likely never have discovered it.
“We will see how terrifying I can become.” She crossed her arms, giving me a rather mischievous look as I closed the distance.
I rubbed my hands down her arms, both of us experiencing the same heated round of electricity we always did.
And a luscious jolt I hoped we would always feel.
“You are one fabulous actress.”
She laughed, rising onto her tiptoes and kissing my lips. When she bit down on my bottom one, it was all I could do not to drag her over the conference room table, desecrating it forever. Hmmm…
I resisted fisting her hair, ripping out the clip holding her hair in a tight, far too conservative bun. I preferred her hair down or in the ponytail I could use as a leash. Later.
“We need to leave. We must make a final decision on the wedding cake and no, I will not choose flavors by myself. Bubba.” She was literally purring.
“Bubba?”
“You heard me.”
“And so, it begins. Once you’re betrothed, you think you can become a task master.”
She dared to slide her hand down my chest to my bulging groin, stroking enough times my control started to slip even more. “You have no idea, big man. Let’s go.”
When she tried to pull away, I grabbed her hand. “One more piece of business. Then we can spend days on the wedding if needed.”
“What’s that?”
“We’re going to call the illustrious owner of the firm in New York.”
“Ah. And what do you plan on doing?”
“Threatening in my way.”
