crossed her arms over her
chest, her legs at her ankles and waited for him to
proceed.
    The way his gaze lingered on her legs for
longer than was appropriate in a business setting made her
smile.
    “ That outfit normally work
on men?” Tag asked, sounding just as cocky as he had the night
before.
    “ I don’t see you
complaining,” she retorted, straightening her back just
slightly.
    “ Oh, honey, I’m not
complaining, but I can tell you what you’d be wearing if it were up
to me.”
    McKenna didn’t even want to go there. She
had a good idea.
    “ Cut to it, Tag. Are Luke
and Logan interested in my offer or not?”
    She watched him, feeling
the intensity in those forest green eyes. He might’ve shed the
power suit, but he hadn’t shed the dominant, alpha male that was
obviously a part of his chemical makeup.
    “ There are some rules to
this little endeavor, so before you get excited, you might want to
read the fine print.”
    The fine print?
    Had he seriously drawn up
a contract? Oh, fuck . No sooner had she thought it when Tag pulled a folded piece
of paper out of his back pocket.
    “ Want me to read it to
you? Or do you prefer to do that yourself?” Tag asked as he moved
closer. His gaze was predatory in nature, and she felt like a
gazelle that had just been cornered by a hungry lion.
    “ I can read it, thank
you.” That should’ve come out a little bit more firmly, but McKenna
was suddenly having a hard time focusing on anything except the
warm, hard male body standing mere centimeters away. The rich,
musky scent of his cologne tickled her senses, and it was like a
starburst of lust had been set off in her bloodstream. It was a
heady thing, his smell.
    He was holding the paper,
and she had to unfold her arms from her chest in order to take it.
The downside was the move also allowed Tag to see how her nipples
had puckered – her body’s apparent approval.
    She knew she should move, should return to
her chair and read the contract word by word, but she couldn’t seem
to get her legs to cooperate.
    “ Here, let me help.” Tag’s
voice caressed her nerve endings while his breath grazed her cheek.
He was leaning in closer, bending his head down so that his lips
were close to her ear, and from this proximity she could feel the
warmth of his body like an electric blanket set on high.
    She didn’t want his help.
At least, not for reading the contract. She’d be happy to accept it
though, if he was offering to help her in other ways... namely to
sate the maelstrom of lust that was raging like a wildfire in her
veins.
    She unfolded the paper, turning it right
side up and then glancing at the first line.
    Her breath caught in her chest.
    “ Is this even legal?” she
asked, her gaze darting to his as he moved back
slightly.
    “ Every word,” he assured
her, but she doubted it.
    “ Length of contract is
seven days?”
    “ That’s just for the
exclusive. There’s another clause at the bottom. Be sure to read
that.”
    She wasn’t even close to
the bottom, and she could barely breathe, her body no longer
willing to hold herself up as she read all of the raunchy,
libidinous things that he intended to “introduce” her to. Nowhere
in the contract did it state that she would have to participate,
but she had a sneaking suspicion that part was assumed. The funny
thing, her body was totally onboard.
    “ You have to be kidding.”
The words spilled out on the breath she managed to hold
in.
    “ Never.” Tag was even
closer than before, this time the hard plane of his chest brushing
against her fingers where she held the paper in front of her. “You
play by my rules for the next seven days, and I promise you won’t
be disappointed.”
    A week? McKenna wasn’t so
sure she’d last seven minutes with this man, let alone seven days.
“I don’t understand.”
    “ What’s not to
understand?” Tag took the paper from her hand, placing it on the
desk behind her, then tilted her chin up with the tips of
