night.”
“You too.” I frowned as I kissed her forehead. She was all too eager for me to leave.
When I climbed into the limo, Jason looked at me.
“I like her, Nathan. I hope you didn’t hurt her too much by leaving.”
“No. Actually, she kicked me out. I wanted to stay for a drink and she told me no.”
Jason chuckled. “Oh boy. I knew I liked her for a reason.”
“Just drive.” I sighed.
Chapter 13
Fiona
After shutting the door, I leaned my back against it and slowly slid to the floor. I let out a long sigh as I thought about what just happened. He was more than a god between the sheets. I knew he’d be good, but I didn’t think it was possible to be that good. The way he made my body feel was euphoric and something I would never forget. I was lost in him during sex. His hands, his tongue, his lips, and his body. My god, his body. Perfect. Hard. Toned in every possible way. Every muscle defined to perfection. He was strong and I’d never forget how his arms felt around me. He’d taken me places that I’d never been to before. My body and my mind, all to another world. A world without a care or worry. He made me forget who I was, who he was. I could still feel him inside of me. Weird, right? Sex was just sex, but tonight, this wasn’t just sex. I couldn’t explain it, for I was at a loss for words. I’d never believed in magic before, until now.
I shook my head and brought myself back to reality. I needed to remember whom I was dealing with. He was Nathan Carter and he was a man with an agenda. He wanted to help my company, but at what cost?
The next morning, I walked into the office with my coffee in hand. Josh, my assistant, followed me in. A few days before my father passed away, his secretary of twenty-five years, Rita, retired to take care of her ailing husband. Josh was a replacement the temp agency sent and when I started, I decided just to hire him full-time. I didn’t want the added stress of having to find someone. He was already here, I liked him, and he liked me. At least I thought he did.
“You have a board meeting in thirty minutes.”
“Today? Why am I just finding out about this now? And by the way, good morning, Josh.”
“Good morning, Fiona. It’s on your calendar. Have you not checked it?” he asked with a slight attitude.
“No. I guess I didn’t. Do I have to go?” I whined as I sat down in my chair.
“Yes.”
“Okay, Josh. Here’s how it’s going to go. You’re my assistant, right?”
“Yes.” He narrowed his eye.
“So we’re going to be stuck together like glue. Got it? No matter what I ask you to do, even if it’s out of the business realm, you are to do it. Me and you,” I pointed, “are going to become very close. I don’t let too many people into my life, but you, I’m letting you in because I need you. And what I ask you to do stays between us. Got it?”
“Yes. I got it.” His brow arched. “If there’s nothing else, I have to get back to my desk.”
“Okay. Go work away.” I smiled.
I needed to prepare myself to get chastised by the board members. I was up all night thinking about Nathan. Good call on my part kicking him out right after sex. He needed to know that I was in control. Sex with him never should have happened, but it did and I was prepared to face the consequences of my actions, whatever they might be. Only time would tell.
My phone started to ring and Lydia was calling.
“Good morning,” I answered.
“Morning. Hey, can we meet after work? There’s something I need to tell you.”
“Sure. I was going to call you later because there’s something I need to tell you too.”
“Okay. How about your house? I’ll stop on the way and grab some Chinese food for us.”
“Sounds good. Don’t forget the egg rolls and the fortune cookies.”
“I won’t,” she spoke in a low voice.
“Hey, are you okay?” I asked with concern.
“Yeah. I’m okay. I’ll see you later.”
Something was off with her.
“You too.” I frowned as I kissed her forehead. She was all too eager for me to leave.
When I climbed into the limo, Jason looked at me.
