Billionaire's Bribe(4)
“It takes a lot of both to lie straight to my face in order to secure a position in my company. I’d love to see that bold, raw spunk unleashed in the bedroom.”
“Bedroom?” she asked, her brows drawing together in bewilderment.
“Oh yes.” He stroked his other hand down the side of her neck, halfway ignoring her confusion. “You have such beautiful skin, Eva. I can’t wait to see single inch of it.”
Eva sprang back. “What? I’m sorry but…”
His grey eyes gleamed with a challenge. “But, what? I’m not asking you to do anything that you didn’t agree to, Eva.”
“You’re not?”
He lifted a brow. “Didn’t you agree during the interview to assist me in any way required?”
“Sleeping with you wasn’t exactly what I had in mind nor was it what I was offering, and you know it.” Her voice lost some of its fire despite the protest, and he smiled. She was obviously giving this some consideration.
“Perhaps not, but you did agree nonetheless. All I’m asking is that you follow my orders as my assistant. You’ll do what’s required of you from me, whether it’s in the boardroom… or the bedroom. Not that it will always be the bedroom, mind you.” He grinned wickedly, and her heart pumped faster despite her head still railing against it.
“I… so you’re telling me I will get to keep my job as long as I give you sexual pleasure?”
“Oh, Eva, you misunderstand.” He pushed her up against the wall, his hard abdominal muscles pressing against her breasts. Even through the layers of clothing he felt her nipples pearl. “I intend to give you pleasure as well. You will follow my every command, certainly, but I promise the experience will be just as sexually satisfying for you as it is for me.”
Eva’s breath came shorter now, a light flush coating her cheeks. “And how long will I have to do this for?”
“For as long as I require of you, or for as long as you are in my employ. Whichever comes first.” His lips hovered a mere inch from her own. “If you please me well, though, I might even consider promoting you. You could become a partner if you wanted—if you can follow my orders and do whatever I ask of you. No matter how uncomfortable it might be.”
A partner? She couldn’t fathom that. Her mind began to quiet as it struggled to grasp that possibility of the future, and allowed her heart to take over. She couldn’t deny that she was powerfully attracted to this man—not just because he was handsome, but of the authority and dominant nature he exuded. Would it really be so bad? Her mind didn’t exactly agree, but her body wanted him. It wasn’t like the experience would be unpleasant—she had no doubt that a man like him was as good as his word when he promised a woman pleasure.
Sucking in a breath and wondering if she’d gone completely mad, she nodded. “I’ll do it.”
“Good girl.” He glanced at his watch just as the phone rang outside. “We don’t have time right now, but I will make sure to deliver your first lesson today.”
“Lesson?”
He smiled. “Of course. I did say you were going to need training.” He pulled away. “For now, get out there and do your job. I will call on you when I have need of you.”
“Yes sir.”
Fleeing from the room as though her heels had grown wings, she answered the phone and wondered just what it was she had gotten herself into.

Monday was generally the busiest day of the week, and today was no exception for Eva. She was kept incredibly busy by the constantly ringing phones, the juggling of Greyson’s schedule, and myriad other tasks she had to complete by the end of the day. She was grateful for the work—it helped to keep her mind off the agreement she’d made just that morning—the agreement in which she’d surrendered her body to him.#p#分页标题#e#
Greyson had been just as busy, so he hadn’t called on her except for brief times when he required her to do something for him. She saw him very infrequently despite the single wall separating them, but every time she did it was like a punch to the gut. Her core would quiver in anticipation and her breath would come short.
At the end of the day he walked past her without saying so much as a word, or even offering her a backward glance or a wave. She’d watched his retreating form, a mixture of relief and dread coursing through her, released from the burden of wondering when he would call for her today, but worried as to why he was still treating her with such indifference despite their agreement.
