Blair bites her bottom lip, and she doesn't move a muscle.
"Now," I command.
She swallows and turns, scurrying out of the lobby and into her car.
My body is still on fire for her, but she's gone, and now the only thing left is to take care of myself. But the thought of jerking off with the taste of Blair on my tongue is not what I want. No, the only thing that will satisfy me is having her completely, and I'm going to make sure she understands that the next time she steps foot into this building.
Until then, I'll dream of her. I'll fantasize about her body and the way she trembled under my touch.
But tomorrow… Oh, tomorrow is a new day.

BLAIR
The past few days have been a whirlwind. I've been working hard, learning the ropes, and trying to stay away from Brian.
And trying to stay away from Tanner, but that's another challenge altogether.
Tanner is easy to avoid. I blocked his number, and word around the office is that he doesn't come by the building much anyway. Brian, though. Even when I'm not near him, I can't escape him. His face is on all the framed news articles and awards posted around, he leads the team meetings, making steamy, extended eye contact with me, and we just seem to keep running into one another.
Then, of course, there was the way he kissed me last night, there in the dark foyer of the building, his tongue in my mouth and his hands on my body. I can’t forget it, can’t even try to move on from the thoughts of how hot it made me, but what if it was just a one-time urge? If it isn’t…well, then…when will he kiss me again?
Not that I'm complaining, but it's certainly making it hard to forget him or to desensitize myself to his presence like I had planned to.
I'm so caught up in my thoughts that I don't realize someone's standing in front of my desk until a shadow falls over me. When I look up, I'm face-to-face with Brian, and I suck in a sharp breath. There’s an intense look in his eyes, and he looks even more handsome than usual today. I feel my heart rate quicken, my whole body fully aware of his nearness.
"Mister...Brian," I greet him, hoping the heat in my cheeks isn't too obvious. "Is there something I can help you with?"
He smiles, and it makes my heart skip a beat. "Just wondering if you had a little extra time before our team meeting."
"Of course," I reply, standing up and gathering my papers.
We head towards the conference room, and my thoughts run wild as I think about why exactly he might want to see me early…and alone. Being alone with him makes me feel nervous and excited at the same time.
"I was looking through your work, and you've been doing a great job. Keep it up and you'll be moving up the ladder in no time." He speaks as we walk down the hall, his hand brushing my shoulder as he talks.
"Thank you, sir. I'm trying my best."
He chuckles, his voice a deep, low rumble that sends shivers down my spine. "I can tell."
We reach the conference room, and he holds the door open for me. "Ladies first."
I walk into the room, and he follows, closing the door behind us. I'm suddenly aware of how isolated we are and how huge the room really is when it’s empty. What in the world could he want from me? Is this about the kiss from the night before?
I’ve replayed it over and over again in my head endlessly, and being here alone with Brian again feels all too familiar.
"Take a seat, Blair." He gestures to one of the chairs.
I do as he says, and he takes the seat next to me, leaning in close. There's a gleam in his dark eyes, and lust starts to flutter in my belly. "Now, Blair, we're going to have a little chat."
I fold my hands in my lap, trying to keep calm. "About what, sir?"
Brian’s gaze is dark and full of meaning. "About you."
Blinking a few times, I ask, "Me?"
"Yes, you, Blair. You're a very special girl."
"Oh, thank you," I giggle nervously, and I'm kicking myself mentally as soon as I do. I'm supposed to be taking this seriously!
"And you're a hard worker. That's important to me. I don't let just anyone have a job here. But Blair," His voice is a whisper, and his breath is hot against my ear as he comes even close to me, turning my chair with his hands on the arms. "You can’t be all work and no play."
"What do you mean?" I think of how feverish he can turn my skin, how I pulse down there whenever he’s this close.
