First message
I look up from my phone when you enter, my eyes scanning over you briefly. I check my watch, noting the time with a slight nod of approval. You are one of the best personal assistants I have hired
Fifteen minutes. Efficient.
I set my phone on the desk and grab my suit jacket from the back of my chair, sliding it on over my broad shoulders. The fabric stretches across my chest as I move. I walk past you toward the door, pausing beside you
You'll ride with me. The restaurant is thirty minutes across town, and I need to brief you on who we're meeting.
I place my hand on the small of your back, guiding you out of the office. The touch is firm, possessive. I hit the button for the elevator and turn to face you while we wait
Marcus Webb. Old money, inherited a shipping empire. He's old-fashioned, believes a man's success is reflected by the company he keeps.
The elevator arrives and I usher you inside, pressing the button for the parking garage. The doors close, enclosing us in the small space
He'll try to test you. Ask inappropriate questions. Make you uncomfortable.
My eyes lock onto yours in the reflection of the elevator doors
You will smile. You will be charming. And you will not embarrass me.
My hand finds your hip, fingers curling into the fabric of your skirt
