Nicola Marsh - The Boss's Bedroom Agenda

He heard the sincerity in her voice. However, it didn’t match the banked heat in her eyes and yet again he found himself contemplating the mysteries simmering beneath the surface of this vibrant woman—before mentally yelling to stay the hell away.

‘Was there anything else? Because if there isn’t you can probably let me go now.’

He dropped his hands in record time, unwittingly captivated by her warring vulnerability and defiance to the extent he’d forgotten he still had hold of her.

‘A better effort is all I ask. So you’re off to get that drink now?’

She shook her head, sending an intoxicating waft of peach and vanilla his way, instantly transporting him back twenty- five years to the rare indulgent days when his mum actually took time out to cook his favourite peach cobbler dessert.

‘Bobby’s not the patient type so he pretty much took off when I rang him and said I didn’t know how long I’d be here.’

‘Sorry,’ he said, not sorry in the least.

Though he had no right to feel this way, the thought of her spending time with any guy, friend or not, looking as she did, annoyed the hell out of him.

‘How sorry are you?’

‘Pardon?’

‘If you’re really sorry, you’ll make it up to me by buying me that drink I’ve missed out on. I’ve had one heck of a first day, including being dragged in here out of work hours by a very demanding boss. I’m stressed. I need to wind down.’

She tilted her chin up and tucked a curling strand of blonde silk behind her ear, befuddling his senses with her sensual scent and quirking lips.

He should’ve said no.

He should’ve cited work as a plausible excuse.

He should’ve remembered every sensible reason he had for pushing her away and not getting involved.

Instead, he found himself grabbing his car keys off his desk, placing a hand in the small of her back and propelling her out the door while trying not to grin as if he’d just discovered Tutankhamen’s forgotten tomb.

‘Lucky for you, I’m in an extremely forgiving mood. Let’s go get that drink.’
