“Please, let’s just forget about everything, and I mean everything that I said on the train, please?” I beg.
“Don’t worry, your secrets are safe with me.” He presses his hand to his chest.
“Thank you.”
“No, thank you.” He smiles as we stand up together. “Do you need to go back to the office?”
“Not unless you need me to,” I tell him.
“Not at all, I was just going to suggest that I escort you to the train station. After all, we’re heading in the same direction, company in a new town can be nice.”
“I thought you said you were born here?” I ask as we exit to hall.
“I was, but I have also lived the last ten years across the country,” he replies. “My circle here is now limited to family since moving back.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
“So, tell me Ms. Matthews, what kind of shit was being said after I left the table?”
“Just because we met before today, doesn’t mean that I’m going to be your little spy.” I put my hands on my hips, stop, and look at him.
“I’m not asking that of you, I would never. But I’m just curious. Does everyone hate me?” I note the vulnerability in his tone as he asks, and I soften my stance as we continue walking.
“No, they don’t hate you. In fact, I think Beverly was rather infatuated with you.”
“You were right about her by the way,” he says staring straight ahead.
“What about her?”
“She does have some bad breath.”
QUINLAN
Here I thoughtthat I would never see that woman, the breath of fresh air, who easily captured my attention in moments from the train ever again.
And now, she works under me, when all I wanted as soon as I got home and fisted my cock in the remembrance, was her—under me.
As the Editor in Chief of World Tripping, a huge travel magazine, I can’t very well start hooking up with someone that is under me, or can I?
She’s forbidden fruit, but oh, I want to taste how sweet she is.
We met before the knowledge of my becoming the boss was officially in effect, would that count?
She was very honest in her assessment of how she felt about work when she rambled on and on about losing the promotion that she worked hard for. Would she continue working here, or are her plans really to leave and find another gig?
All sorts of questions flood my brain.
And I know just how to push her buttons.
