Yum, but sadly, not for me. With Drake, it’s always a challenge to act normal, especially where half the time I want to climb like a tree. Mateo is attractive, no doubt, but I’m not here for romance. And for some odd reason, while I can appreciate his appeal, I’m not feeling the zing.
“Thank you,” I reply. Since there isn’t any chemistry between us, it’s easy to flirt back. “And I always enjoy spending time with a brilliant, handsome man.”
He grins. “What can I help you with today?”
“Well, I have a few ideas that I think your company might be interested in.” With that, I share some of the projects I’ve been working on outside of my time with Drake. Right now, they’re mostly in the early stages, but that’s okay. Just talking about them with some people in the industry is a start.
“As far as I can tell, these are some great ideas,” he says, after we’ve gone back and forth chatting for almost an hour. “Make sure to reach out to me when you move into the implementation stage.”
“Thank you. I will.” My smile is so big, I’m probably in danger of catching flies. We say our goodbyes and leave. That went even better than I expected, giving me even more confidence for my next meeting; the one that I’m keeping completely on the down low.
With a skip in my step, I head back to the office. What started out as a kind of crappy week is turning into something awesome. I’m certainly happy with my new direction, though my boss might not feel the same way.
Chapter 6
Drake
She had lunch with Mateo Alvaro. Damn her.
This time, Maximillian Hawthorne himself is the one who emailed me.
“I heard your lovely assistant is making the rounds. You had better step up your game if you want to keep her.”
Shit. I slam my hand onto my desk, but it’s not enough. Standing, I pace the length of my office, trying to burn some of this furious energy.
The infuriating thing about Max’s email is that he’s right. I do need to step up my game. The problem is I’m not exactly sure what game I’m playing. Am I trying to keep her as my assistant or do I want something more?
It doesn’t seem to matter, at least not to the burning heat running through me. Every fiber of my being wants to hunt her down, own her delicious body, and mark her as mine.
Growling, I try to calm myself, but it isn’t working. I need a release, and my preferred option isn’t available. I’ll have to make do.
An hour later, I leave the gym and am rinsing off in the shower. The cool water feels good against my steaming skin. Forty-five minutes on the punching bag helped a little, but I’m still worked up. And not just my temper. My new obsession with Miriam has my cock hard as a rock. Squirting some body wash in my hand, I run it over my thick erection. The heat of anger instantly turns into overwhelming desire.
With an image of Miriam in my mind, I thrust into my slick palm. I picture the contrast of her pale fingers running over my tan, muscled chest. Her soft curves and thick thighs spread naked in my office. Her round ass facing me as she bends over my desk. I grip her wide hips, holding her in place as I devour her sweet, hot center. Her swollen lips, open and waiting to take my cock.
My balls tighten at the image. I can’t stop. My hand squeezes tighter, moving faster over my massive length. I groan as my cum lands on the wall of the shower.
Fuck.
Just imagining fucking Miriam gave me the best orgasm of my life. I take a moment to recover and then finish cleaning off. By the time I exit the shower, the question has been answered. Is Miriam my employee or my woman? The answer?
Everything. She’s mine, inside and out. Her beauty, brains, and delectable breasts.
Miriam’s about to find out what it’s like to be ruthlessly pursued. And if Michael or any other fucker wants to mess with her, they’ll quickly find themselves in a world of hurt.

“Miriam, please come into my office,” I page her on our inner office system later that afternoon. Moments later she walks through my door. “Take a seat.”
Today she’s wearing a black and white striped dress with a teal cardigan and matching heels, but it doesn’t even matter because all I can envision is how she would look naked and wanting in front of me.
“I heard you’ve been seeing other people.”
“I don’t know if I’d call it that.” She laughs awkwardly. “But I’m glad you brought it up. I’ve been wanting to tell you about some of the things I’ve been working on.”
“Is this what you’ve been consulting others about?”
“Yes, it is.”
