“Damn it, Bronco, how am I supposed to stay mad at you?” She tries to scowl at me, but it doesn’t reach her eyes.

“I’m sure we’ll have plenty of chances for me to piss you off.” I lean down and press my lips to that spot just below her ear. “Until then, I can think of ways to work you up.” My tongue licks along the skin there, and she lets out a little moan. “I want to see if I can get that dimple to come out when I fuck you.”

“Oh god,” she whispers.

“Let me show you to your new office space.” Before she can protest, I take her by the hand and lead her through the arena and to the back.

I wasn’t kidding when I said I was going to have the office fumigated. That was the first thing I had done, and then they brought in some new temporary furniture until Tracy could pick out what she wanted.

“Once the place is where you think it should be, you can decorate this room however you want.” I close the door behind us as she walks over to the new desk and computer. “All the files should be scanned in there for you.”

“There’s an event scheduled for later tonight,” she says when she walks around the desk and looks at it. “Should we cancel it?”

“Do you have enough staff to cover?”

“Oh yeah. The beer girls fight over their coolers. The tips are the best-paying job in town.”

“Then let’s see how it goes. We can call it if we need to.” I walk over behind the desk where she’s standing and take her hand. “I’ll leave you in here to get settled while I go check on things. I’ll come back when the engineer is here, okay?” I say, and she nods.

“I guess I’ll go through the schedule for tonight and make sure we’ve got what we need.”

“If you need anything, use this.” I grab the cell phone I bought her off the desk and hand it to her. “My number is already programmed in.” I wink at her as I back out of the office, wishing I could stay beside her all damn day.

“Is it under A for asshole?” she teases, and I shrug.

“You’ll have to text me and find out, sweet thing.”

When I leave her in the office and go toward the area, I’ve already got this empty feeling in my chest. How is it that after one day, I’m fucking crazy for her?

Chapter Eleven

Tracy

I think I’m in love.

At least with this new accounting system Bronco put in place. It’s going to make my day-to-day life so much easier since it tracks everything. I was having to do all this stuff myself before, and it would take up so much time. It’s something that has to be done so I know where I need to cut some things or add others in order to turn better profits. This man is making it really hard for me to not like him.
