I sighed, I didn’t must deliver down the wrath of Margaret on my head, so I simply moved every little thing and tried to prepare for my appointment. “Thanks,” I grated, holding again my mood. The purpose was that she was attempting, proper? She handed me the file and spun round, scurrying from the workplace.

Flipping it open, I scanned the CV of C. Lewis. I’d not too long ago picked up a handful of high-security shoppers, and it required hiring extra bodyguards so we wouldn’t be short-staffed. This man had been beneficial by a good friend from the company who Weston had launched me to. Evie Shaw was one of the vital badass girls I knew and if she had a hand in coaching this man, I needed him.

There was a complete shitload of “labeled” typed on the papers when it got here to work expertise. My safety clearance was larger than most individuals knew. Even Weston, who was presently CIA, didn’t know simply how deep I used to be in with the company. I’d been secret service once I first began out and had risen by way of the ranks at lightning pace. I noticed rapidly that I’d be happier answering to myself, however I’d made the fitting contacts. They got here to me for assistance on sure circumstances and returned the favor when wanted.

Digging into his missions was so simple as selecting up the cellphone, and so they’d despatched the un-redacted file over, but it surely wasn’t actually essential. All I’d wanted to think about the man was the advice of somebody within the company that I trusted implicitly. This interview was extra of a formality than something as I totally meant to rent the man.

“Mr. Grey.” Jessa’s high-pitched voice pierced the silence within the room by way of the intercom. “You will have a customer.”

“You imply my appointment?” I requested after urgent the little button on the field.

“Um, I believe—possibly? I—let me double test—”

Fucking hell. “Simply ship them in, Jessa.”

My door opened and in walked the star of all my daydreams. “Calista,” I greeted with shock, leaping to my toes and rounding the desk. I might really feel the grin splitting my face, insanely blissful that she hadn’t been capable of steer clear of me. Her mouth shaped a cute O, like she was shocked about one thing. Had she anticipated me to be upset that she’d confirmed up at my workplace. Clearly, I wanted to show that wasn’t the case. Earlier than she might say something, I slammed my door shut and pushed her up in opposition to it, my mouth crashing down on her.

By the best way my coronary heart was racing and my blood pumping, you’d assume I hadn’t kissed her in years as an alternative of hours. She tasted so fucking good, like peppermint and one thing that was all her personal. My tongue danced with hers, and my hips involuntarily rolled into her when she moaned. Earlier than I fucked her in opposition to the door to my workplace, I tore my mouth from hers and buried my face in her neck. Her chest rose and fell quickly as she panted, and I fought the intuition to really feel the beat of her coronary heart by palming her tits.

“Child, I didn’t count on to see you as we speak. I’m so fucking glad you’re right here, however I’ve an appointment any minute. Are you able to come again in about an hour? I’ll have you ever for lunch.” No, that was not a slip of the tongue.

“I don’t assume that’s a good suggestion,” she mumbled. I pulled again and inspected her stunning face, attempting to decipher what had modified between leaving her within the morning and proper that second.

“Did one thing occur together with your interview?” If it hadn’t gone nicely, I used to be going to do every little thing in my energy to get her to come back work for me. Jessa might assist out one in all my managers and Calista might assist me. My solely requirement can be that she deliver me my lunch day-after-day and unfold it throughout my desk. The image of consuming her pussy whereas she was sprawled there in entrance of me nearly broke my management. However, I used to be a fucking skilled, and I wanted to deal with the interview first.

“I haven’t had the appointment but.” Her eyes darted across the workplace, taking a look at every little thing however me. My eyes narrowed, and I grabbed her chin, forcing her to fulfill my gaze.

“Calista, what’s happening?”

“My interview is at Grey Safety, Xander.” Her darkish eyes had been learning me intently.

Then every little thing clicked, and I let go of her to run my palms by way of my hair. “You’re C. Lewis?” She nodded. “Holy fuck,” I whispered, her file operating by way of my photographic reminiscence. I felt ten years of my life instantly fall away. Proper then and there I vowed, by no means once more would she be in that a lot fucking hazard. I didn’t care how succesful she was. I used to be going to rent her and hold her shut so I might shield her.

Moreover, as soon as we obtained married and had children, she’d should stop this line of labor anyway.

That thought introduced me up quick. That was fucking quick. I mentally shrugged; that didn’t make it unfaithful. Then I remembered. We would simply be nicely on our manner there since we hadn’t used a condom the evening earlier than.

“I suppose I’ll be transferring again to D.C.,” she sighed.

“What the fuck are you speaking about?” I growled.

“I can’t keep right here with out a job, Xander. Evie provided me a place—”

“Hell to the motherfucking no, child. You aren’t going anyplace. You will have a job; I’m hiring you. I’d been meaning to give you the job earlier than I knew it was you.”

She scoffed, “I can’t give you the results you want, Xander.”

“Why the fuck not?” I used to be significantly contemplating bending her over my knee and spanking her ass till it was cherry purple.

“It’s one factor to joke round about me calling you boss in mattress, but it surely’s one other factor totally so that you can be my precise boss. We slept collectively, and the attraction between us continues to be there. It might make it extremely tough for us to work collectively. The barn door is already open so to talk, and leaving it as a one-night stand gained’t shut it.”

I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nostril. And at the present time had began out so nicely…

Calista

I had a fame for being unflappable within the area. Nothing ever threw me for a loop. However once I walked by way of the door to the workplace and located Xander on the opposite aspect of it, I used to be shocked. Instantly, I went from excited anticipation for the place I used to be about to take, to crushing disappointment. There was no manner in hell I might work for Xander after the evening we’d spent collectively. There went the job that may permit me to remain in Atlanta and see what might construct between us. And judging from the look on his beautiful face, I used to be going to have a hell of a time convincing Xander how apparent it was that I couldn’t take the job.

“I don’t combine enterprise and pleasure.”

“Don’t,” he growled, his darkish eyes popping open and assembly mine with a burning depth that had me taking a step backwards.

I didn’t have anyplace to go, although, for the reason that closed door was proper behind me. “Xander,” I whispered, my unhappiness over the scenario during which we discovered ourselves filling my voice.

“No,” he barked. “I’m not going to face right here and hearken to you boil us all the way down to lower than what we actually are.”

Despite the fact that my coronary heart raced on the manner his voice obtained raspy, I couldn’t let it sway me. “It was one evening—” I began, however he didn’t let me end my thought.
