Olivia Gates - Billionaire Boss, M.d.

His lips split in such an exuberant smile, dazzling her with a flash of white teeth and searing charisma.

She was trying not to hyperventilate when he made it impossible, reaching out and slipping the backpack off her shoulder, his long, strong, capable fingers sliding against her flesh, making her core clench with violent need.

“Until we come to a new agreement,” he said, “put your personal effects back where they belong.”

She clung to the backpack as if to a life raft. “What new agreement? We didn’t have an old one.”

“Then we’ll make a brand-new one from scratch.”

With the utmost gentleness, he insisted on tugging the backpack out of her white-knuckled grip.

Letting it go felt as if she were lowering her last shield against him.

After placing it on her workstation, he faced her with a grin that had her swaying like a building in an earthquake. He leaned his hip on the desk, folded his arms over his expansive chest.

“Now that that’s taken care of, there’s something else I require.”

“What’s that?” she croaked.

Her insides tightened more at his forbearing tone. “My IQ might be selective, but even I got that. Don’t be—”

“—redundant? Yes, I know how you hate that.” His gaze took on a new level of intensity. “But the other meaning is also right. Though I’d rather have you for dessert.”

More convinced he’d decided to go all out having fun at her expense, she hissed, “Spare me the clichés, Dr. Balducci. And stop looking at me like that.”
