followed her out the door.
Chapter Ten
“Jason, do you value our business?” Ava asked in a silky voice, her tone soft yet icy at the same time. Cian stopped dead in his tracks at the sound of that wintry voice, a chill going down his spine. Damn, that voice could shrivel a man’s balls. Cian smiled at his own foolishness and peeked around the door to the library, curious to see who’s ass Ava was reaming. She was lounging at her desk chair with the phone to her ear, appearing to not have a care in the world while she listened to the mysterious Jason’s response. She smiled; something the man was saying giving her a lot of satisfaction. “That being the case,” She said in a crisp, no-nonsense tone. “Make this go away or I’ll find an attorney who can. This is a bullshit lawsuit and we both know it.” She caught sight of Cian at the door, her eyes narrowing momentarily. He grinned when her gleaming blue gaze ran lingeringly down his body and back up where their gazes locked the heat between them palpable. She seemed to shake herself out of her fascination with his body and shook her head ruefully, motioning him into the room, her attention returning to the phone conversation. “Listen, Jason. We’ve had a very good relationship for the last few years and I’ve made you a rich man handling bullshit like this. If you don’t feel you’re up to the task, speak up.” She challenged her tone flat. Whatever Jason said put a pleased smile on her face.
Cian remembered that same smile under entirely different circumstances. He had been thinking how pleasurable it would be to put that sated smile on her sexy mouth again on numerous occasions over the last week. Every time he had crossed paths with her, he’d thought about it. She hadn’t avoided him per se, but she had avoided being alone with him accept in passing. Macy had played buffer a lot, which was fine with him; Macy was a lot of fun and kept things light. He’d caught Ava eyeballing him several times. He knew she wanted him. He’d spent too long as a pro hockey player with women throwing themselves at him to not know when a woman was interested. What was the big damn deal anyway? It was just sex; some really, really hot sex, but sex nonetheless. And yeah, she was a few years older than him but he was way past the age of consent. They should be enjoying each other, not this circling bullshit that was gonna end them up in bed again. He had supreme confidence that Ava could only resist him for so long. It just pissed him off that they were wasting all this time getting there. Her voice brought him out of his reverie. “Do what you gotta do. We are not giving him a dime or we can move our business elsewhere. Now you have a good day.” She disconnected the call, muttering under her breath. Cian burst out laughing when he heard her questioning the legitimacy of Jason’s birth. She looked over at him curiously before giving him a rueful smile. “Sorry, I get a little carried away sometimes.”
He shrugged, his eyes running over her slowly and smiled with devilish intent. “Listening to you go all Donald Trump on that man turned me on.” Her eyes widened in surprise before she burst out laughing. He smiled wolfishly and continued to watch her, not concerned that he was being obvious.
“You’re bad.” She bantered lightly, her smile flirtatious.
“Yes ma’am, I am.” He agreed, giving her a wink. She laughed again, shaking her head in disbelief.
“That wasn’t meant as a compliment.” She teasingly chided.
“But I like being bad.” The expression in his brown eyes left no doubt where his mind was residing. “Maybe you should spank me or something.”
“Cian!” She exclaimed, embarrassed laughter bubbling to the surface and hot color flooding her face. “I’m not flirting with you.” His
