“You’re not like those other women, so stop trying to pretend you are. Frank knows the real you, and I do, too.”
“Who is pretending? Let’s be real here for a moment.” She finally turned to look at him. “You don’t like me, and I don’t like you. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life working for someone who would rather claw his own eyes out than look at me.”
He pressed a finger to her lips. “I’m going to stop you there. My dick doesn’t get hard for people I don’t like. I like you a lot.”
“Then why have you been so horrible to me all this time?”
This time he shrugged. “I couldn’t have you.”
“What?”
“You were Frank’s princess. Everyone in the office saw how much he cared about you, and at first I thought you were screwing him. Then I realized that it’s because you’re a dedicated worker. You never went to college, and from what I know, you never got the chance. I actually think if given that chance, you would make one hell of a lawyer. He knows that as well. Actually no. The thing is, even though you have the academics to be amazing, you’re too nice. You need to be a hard ass, and be able to fight in a court of law. I don’t think you’ve got what it takes in that sense.”
“It’s good then that I don’t want to be a lawyer. I don’t want to be working for people like Richmond who can’t keep it in his pants but refuse to pay up for his mistake.”
“Which is what Frank sees as well. I also think you would be taken advantage of as well. You’re too nice, and in this world, nice doesn’t cut it.”
“I know. I’ve seen what has happened to Carl.” She sighed, and moved away from him, putting distance between them. She was sitting at the opposite end of the bath.
“I want to make one thing clear here. I want to fuck you,” he said. When she went to speak, he held his hand up. “I’m not done. This thing between us. I don’t know what it is, but it’s been simmering beneath the surface for months.”
She laughed. “No, it hasn’t.”
“Only because you’ve not known the signs. This is happening, though, and we both know it. We can either fight it, or we can embrace it.”
“Let me guess, you’re going to embrace it.”
“I’m prepared to offer you a deal.”
“I don’t have my lawyer present,” she said, withdrawing from him. He wasn’t about to have that. He reached out, grabbing her, and pulling her onto his lap so that she straddled his hips. Finding her core, he slowly filled her with his cock until she was sitting on him. They both moaned as her pussy clenched around his cock.
“You have a very good lawyer present. I will not screw you out of a deal. I’m hard but fair. You can say I’m many things, but when it comes to my job, I am the best.”
“I know.”
“So, my sweet little ex-virgin. I’m thinking, how about we have a test run?”
“A test run of what?”
“Of us of course.”
“If Frank finds out I’ll be out of a job and my reputation and integrity ruined. I’m not made of money. I need this job.”
“No one will ever know. During office hours, I will stop being the asshole that I’ve been.” Mainly because now I’m getting what I want. He had found working with her hard, being near her even harder. When they had both been in the office, and he only had to see her, he’d been fine with it. The moment Frank placed her with him, it was torture. He had to use the women to stop himself from getting close to her, from not crossing that line with Frank. He’d been meaning to try to protect the both of them. Never had he wanted a woman to belong to him. Nora, she inspired all of those feelings, and there was no way in hell he could fight them off. “We’ll work together like we have been doing. At night, you belong to me. The instant we leave the office, whatever I say goes.”
“What about my interviews?” she asked.
“You can keep on going to them, and if you find a place you want to go to, we’ll talk. Do you really want to go and work for a rival firm?”
