His deep baritone voice felt like a rough caress. A caress that sent shivers of awareness spiraling throughout her whole body. “I’ve heard great things about you. Are you sure you can tackle this challenge?”
Marcy licked her lips. Was he the challenge? Was he asking her to tackle him?
Her eyes moved down, glancing at his lips and she unconsciously licked hers. “Um…”
“My assistant went on maternity leave three weeks ago. The man who took her place messed everything up.”
Oh! He was talking about tackling the office mess! Not him! Darn!
Wait, huh? She didn’t want to tackle this man! She had plans! She had things she needed to do! Law school, great lawyer, bragging rights for her mother. Her life was mapped out and it didn’t include a gorgeous, sexy giant with a voice that could send her body into sexual shock. Nope!
Her future included a nice, comfortable accountant with a white picket fence and two children, a boy and a girl, a dog and a cat. A cocker spaniel dog because they were sweet and fluffy. She had no idea on the cat. Her accountant husband would have to pick out the cat. Looking up at this man, she suspected that his choice in dogs would be…german shephard. And he wouldn’t want a cat. She needed a cat. The picture in her mind included a cat even though she didn’t really like cats. She had to have a cat to finish the perfect picture.
She knew what she wanted and she was going for it. This man might be eye candy, but she had goals.
Clearing her throat, she nodded with as much confidence as she could muster and pulled her hand out of his. “Yes. I can fix this. I’ve already started working on it. Just give me a few days and I’ll have things back to normal.”
Zeke nodded his head and had the crazy urge to shove everything off of his desk and spread her out on top of it. The view from his office was great, but he suspected it would be nothing compared to the view of this woman laying across his desk, a pleading look in those crystal blue eyes, begging him to take her, to make love to her.
Forcing that image out of his mind, he glanced around at the mess his office was in and tried to stifle his anger and frustration. Looking back down at her, he also had to stifle the urge to take her into his arms and make love to her. Office protocol be damned, this woman was gorgeous!
Zeke pulled back, appalled at his thoughts. This was business. Besides, Teague would be furious if he…well, all the things going through his mind would piss off his brother. So instead of inviting this luscious lady to his bed, he focused. “Excellent,” he said and nodded once again. “I look forward to your help.”
With that, he moved into his office, trying to get his body back under control. What the hell? He was plotting to have sex with an employee? On his office desk?!
No. First of all, Marcy was a valuable employee. Secondly, Teague would kill him.
The first was important, the second, he dismissed.
He walked into his office and came to a halt again. His desk was…buried. He couldn’t find anything and all the sexual tension he’d been feeling while looking down at the luscious, sensual bunny outside his office transformed into frustration at his work life.
Tamping it down with extreme self-discipline, he dug through the papers until he could find the files he needed for his next meeting. With resignation, he walked back to the outer office, about to ask for help. Unfortunately, his dark-haired goddess was bent over the desk…and oh dear God, the ideas that popped into his mind with that position!
“Yes,” she gasped and spun around, her blue eyes wide as she looked up at him. He hadn’t realized how tiny she was. He was almost a foot taller than the woman.
He liked tall, leggy blonds, he reminded himself. Not bouncy, buxom, full-of-energy, dark haired beauties that made his teeth ache with longing.
Nope, she was off limits.
No matter how long her lashes were!
Book List
I used to include my entire backlist of stories, but the list has gotten so long, that I’ve had to shorten it a bit. So for a full list of all my stories, go to http://www.elizabethlennox.com/books/.
Below are just some of the more recent and upcoming books. Enjoy for many hours of escape!
(By the way, I also write a line of erotica romances under the name Gabriella Rossi. They are a bit more sexual in nature, but still have the delicious alpha males and the strong women – just with an erotic slant. You can find more about them here: http://www.elizabethlennox.com/TheAlexaCollection)
