“Hire interns,” Erica said simply. “It allows you to hand-rear them, and if they leave, it’s no money lost. If they’re not earning cash but they choose to stay, you know they’re loyal.”
“Who’s going to work as an intern for little to no money?” Brock asked.
“For one, I’m doing it right now,” Erica said.
I smiled. She was right. She was honest and upfront, and she was willing to put herself on display. I liked that about her. And apparently, so did the investors.
Once Erica was done with her presentation, I stood next to her.
“We like it,” Harper said. “We like it a lot. You’re very knowledgeable, Miss Hudson.”
Erica smiled.
Harper looked at me. “Where did you find her?”
“She came to me. It was pure luck,” I said.
“Well, you’re very lucky.” To Erica, he said, “If we had you around years ago, it would have saved us so much money and effort.”
“There’s no time like the present to get going, though,” Erica said politely. “If there’s one thing I learned about business, it’s that looking back and fussing about what could have been only holds you back.”
“That’s very wise,” Brock said.
I nodded. I wondered if Erica was talking about her own experience with her previous employer too.
When the meeting was over, I called Erica into my office.
“You did great today,” I said. “I don’t think the investors have ever been this happy.”
“Thank you,” Erica said.
“Do you want to come to my place for dinner tonight?” I wanted to see her again. I wanted to be alone with her again. “To celebrate the success of the meeting.”
She smiled. “Are you going to keep hiding behind the business when you ask me out?”
I nodded. “If I don’t, it will really be breaking the rules.”
“I’d love to.” She turned and left my office but not before she glanced at me over her shoulder one more time. She was so seductive. If it were up to me, I would take her right now, pulling her onto my lap and fucking her hard and fast. I was hot for her, my dick hardening in my pants at the thought.
But I pushed it away. I still had to focus on work for a while, and I had to behave until we could be alone. But tonight, I was making her mine. I didn’t care what we should and shouldn’t be doing.
Chapter 10
Erica
After showering, I stood naked in front of my closet and decided what to wear. I had pampered myself in the bathroom, using scrubs and creams until every inch of me was smooth and soft and ready for attention.
This was wrong, I told myself. I shouldn’t have agreed to see Brett for dinner tonight. Much less at his place.
But I couldn’t help it. Brett was irresistible, and after we had slept together the first time, I ached for him. I wanted him to take me again.
If we got caught, it would end badly. The investors were in a good place right now, they were happy with Brett and eager to keep investing. A scandal like an affair with his EA wouldn’t do anything good for the company. But dammit, I wanted to go. I wanted to see him, and I wanted to have dinner at his house so that we could be alone and not have to worry about who was watching us.
If I had to be honest, I wanted to fuck him. We had agreed to dinner, but I didn’t care about the food.
I decided on black lingerie, complete with a garter belt and stockings. Was I looking for trouble? Oh yes, I was. I was hoping I would find it too.
After I put on the lingerie, I turned to the mirror and looked at myself. The bra pressed my breasts up so I had an impressive cleavage, the small G-string did little to hide what was beneath it, and the garter belt and stockings pushed it to a new level of sexy.
I didn’t usually do this, but I couldn’t find a good enough reason not to. I ignored everything about the media and that he was my boss. Because I was going to discard them anyway, they didn’t count as good reasons.
We’d had amazing sex in the office a week ago. It had been better than anything I’d had before. When I thought back to that night, I got wet all over again. This time I wanted to be able to take the time to explore Brett’s body, to offer myself to him and to let loose, and to do whatever we wanted, instead of wrapping it up as fast as we could so we wouldn’t get caught. Going to his house was dangerous, but I wasn’t able to get Brett off my mind. The drinks we’d had last night had only made it that much worse. When I was drunk I became more loving, and I had wanted to be all over Brett. With Katie and Shane with us, it had been impossible, and we had been in public.
