My panties were soaked already and my heart was rapidly beating. He was right. I did want to feel him inside me again. When he touched me, I forgot about what an asshole he could be. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. I breathed a sigh of relief.
“Damn it. WHAT!” he shouted.
I hurried and took a seat across from his desk. He walked over to the door and when he opened it, Coco walked in.
“Why did you yell like that? Was I interrupting something?” She glared at him.
“Yes. Actually, you were. Can’t you see I’m in a meeting?”
She rolled her eyes at him and I snickered.
“Hello, Lorelei.”
“Hi, Coco.”
“Sorry to interrupt your meeting, but I need to talk to my brother.”#p#分页标题#e#
I got up from my chair, still trembling on the inside from his touch. “No problem.” I smiled as I walked out of his office.
It was lunchtime, so I grabbed my sketchbook and walked down the street to a café called LaRue. As I sat down at a table by the window, my business phone rang. It was Jack. I rolled my eyes as I answered it.
“Hello.”
“Where are you?”
“Lunch. You know I go to lunch every day at this time.”
“Yes, I know. But where are you having lunch?”
“Why?”
“Because I’m your boss and I want to know, damn it.”
I pulled my phone from my ear and looked at it like I couldn’t believe he just said that.
“I’m down the street at LaRue’s.”
“Good. I’m joining you. I’ll be there in a few minutes.” Click.
For fuck sake. Why the hell did he have to join me for lunch? I needed to get over the fact that my body was still craving him from earlier. Since he felt the need to ruin my lunch, I put my sketchbook in my bag and looked out the window.
“Good afternoon. Are you ready to order?” the waitress named Jennifer asked.
“Hi. I’ll have the Cobb salad, please, and I have someone joining me.”
“Cobb salad it is. I’ll grab another place setting for your guest.” She smiled.
A few moments later, Jack walked into the café and I immediately crossed my legs. The ache between them had to stop.
“Did you order yet?” he asked as he sat down across from me.
“Yes.”
“What did you order?” He picked up a menu from behind the napkin holder.
“Cobb salad.”
“Sounds good. I think I’ll get the same.” He winked.
“So why are you here, Jack?”
He narrowed his eyes at me. “To have lunch with my beautiful personal assistant and to talk about the launch party. It is in a few days.”
“Everything is all set. All you have to do is show up.” I smiled.
“I figured as much. Now that we got that out of the way, let’s discuss what almost happened earlier.”
Shit. Why can’t he drop it?
“Saved by Coco.” I grinned.
“Have dinner with me tonight and we can go back to my place after so I can make you tremble again.”
“I can’t. I’m sorry. I have plans.”
“Doing what?”
“My best friend, Stella, is coming over for dinner tonight,” I lied.
“Oh. Well, can’t you have her over for dinner another time? I’m sure you see her all the time since she’s your best friend.”
“And I see you every day.” I smirked.
The waitress walked over and set my salad down in front of me.
“What can I get you, Mr. Sutton?” she asked with a wide smile.
“I’ll have what she’s having.”
“One Cobb salad coming right up.” She winked at him.
Chapter Twenty-Two
Lorelei
“So you know our waitress?” I asked.
“Not personally. I come in here a lot. Are you jealous?” He smirked.
“Why would I be jealous?” I frowned.
“Why wouldn’t you be?”
Ugh. He was really testing me. I wasn’t feeling well as it was and he was getting on my last nerve with his cocky attitude. I leaned across the table.
“Listen, Jack. Just because we slept together doesn’t mean anything. If you have it somewhere in that thick skull of yours that I’m smitten, head-over-heels in love with you, you’re wrong. It was sex.”#p#分页标题#e#
“It was more than just sex, Lorelei.” The corners of his mouth curved up.
“No. It wasn’t.”
“Yes. It was.”
I took in a sharp inhalation. “Then why don’t you enlighten me on how it was more than just sex.”
“I know for a fact you can’t stop thinking about that night. I see it in your eyes every time you look at me. You want more and so do I.”
