God.”
“And that’s what I was going to
offer before I could include myself in your bonus package,” he said with a
grin.
“Stop. Stop now. I need to think
about it. Shit, I can’t think with you being all nice and stuff.” Caitlyn
cradled her head in her hands. She knew she would take the job, but damn it,
she didn’t want to let him know he had her so easily. Steele Technologies was
top dog in the industry, several actually. It was a goddamn international
powerhouse. Working for Steele Tech would be the ultimate gig. She looked back
up to see the jerk had a knowing smirk on his face.
“Take all the time you need, but
now the crisis has passed, I think I want to take you home with me where I can
make love to you on a bed.”
Damn, that sounded good to her. “I
should go home and change or something.”
“Baby, you won’t be wearing
clothes that long, so don’t bother.”
“You’re not off the hook yet,
jerk.”
“Are you going to punish me?” He
sent her a lascivious smirk.
Caitlyn grinned slowly. “There is
no punishment great enough for your crimes, but I will try my very best to
think of something.”

Chapter Nine
As Caitlyn and Tag left his
office, the man in the suit who had held her briefcase jumped up from the chair
he had been lounging in. He was a handsome man and he reached for her hand so
he could kiss it. “Hello Ms. Watson. My name is Adam Montgomery, Tag’s right
hand man. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Let go of her hand, Adam,” Tag
snapped. “She doesn’t need you slobbering all over her.”
Caitlyn sent him an amused glance,
but was distracted when her cell phone rang. Adam stood there with a wide grin
on his face as he watched his usually stoic friend pull Caitlyn back to his
side away.
Ah, the mighty have fallen…
“Tag, I need a sec.” Adam said, smiling
apologetically to Caitlyn.
She waved them off as she moved
away to take the call. It was her boss, and she knew what was coming. Taking a
deep breath she answered and got an earful. Carl started screaming as soon as Caitlyn
had answered. She tried to stop his rant, but he couldn’t hear her as he
steamrolled right over her. Anger surged through her as he continued to spew fifth
at her and what a disgrace she was to Manchester Klein.
“Carl! I don’t need to justify
myself to you. You already fired me, so I don’t have to listen to you anymore,
asshole!” Leaving him sputtering she flipped her phone closed. Shooting a look
over at Tag and Adam, she met Tag’s dark penetrating eyes. A slow smile spread
across his face as he simply walked away from Adam. He grabbed Caitlyn’s chin,
titling her head up and kissed her hard. She moaned as he took the kiss deeper
then pulled back as Adam cleared his throat.
“Caitlyn is going to be working
for the Steele Enterprise marketing group,” Tag announced in a loud, clear
voice.
“Welcome
aboard.”
“Hey,
I didn’t accept yet!” Caitlyn pushed away from Tag.
“You
will,” both Tag and Adam said at the same time, earning both of them a glare in
return.
“Men,”
Caitlyn muttered dryly as she headed for the elevators.

“I could have them killed for
you.”
Caitlyn had to laugh at that. Tag
had insisted on going with her across the street to Manchester Klein to
retrieve her personal items from her desk. The entire office had gone silent as
they made their way through. There were no goodbyes offered, no well wishes. In
fact, no one spoke a word to Caitlyn as she packed up her belongings.
That simple fact had Tag fuming
again. The only thing that had pleased him while they were there was that Ryan
had run for safety soon as he had seen them. Carl on the other hand stood in
the doorway of his office, glaring at her as she’d collected her things.
Caitlyn had explained the sexual harassment she had been dealing with on their
walk over and Tag found that he wanted to punch Carl in the face just for
looking at
