I’d amused her now. I could get hooked on making that dark twinkle in her eyes appear.

“Are you asking what turns me on?”

I nodded, feeling fairly confident I was about to be verbally eviscerated, but it might just be worth it.

“Enthusiastic consent. A really good pair of forearms…” She paused, and I thought that was as much as she was going to give me. “The way a woman jerks just a little the first time my tongue makes contact with her clit. And the way she spreads her legs wider and arches her hips higher without even knowing she’s doing it when I find just the right rhythm against it, her whole body silently begging for release. But what really gets me off, is the way she tumbles over that first orgasm, clenching around my fingers as she bucks her hips against my tongue, lost to the pleasure.”

She’d short-circuited my brain. Not just the words, but how casually she’d spoken them had fried all ability to think rationally and made my dick rock hard. She was talking about doing those things to another woman, but I was picturing doing them to her.

She’d leaned forward in her seat as she spoke, so our knees were almost touching and our faces were inches apart. Her eyes flicked to my mouth like she might be thinking about kissing me, which was insane because I was thinking the same about her and couldn’t figure out how we’d gotten here.

It didn’t matter. I had to know what she’d do next if I pushed her.

“You, Lady Elena, have a filthy mouth.” I let my eyes drift to her lips. “A deceptively pretty mouth to be that filthy. I think I like it.”

Her voice was low and soft as she said, “My final question…Have I turned you on, Mr. Chase?”

I swallowed, but before I could figure out what to say, she glanced down at the unmistakeable bulge in my pants and cocked an eyebrow. “It seems I already have my answer. Despite being a decent actor, your body language is giving you away.”

Laughter rumbled in my chest when I realized how easily she’d set me up to get me back for calling her out over her fake phone call. She didn’t play by the same rules as the rest of us.

She was still leaning close and her eyes were alight with excitement, cheeks flushed. It seemed like I might not be the only one who was into this.

“Touché, Lady Elena.”

The challenge was plain in her eyes. As I opened my mouth to speak, the office door opened revealing Chad, who I was definitely going to have to fire now for interrupting one of the most erotically charged moments of my life.

He looked back and forth between us, obviously noting how close we were sitting. “Hey, kids! You can’t get down to business until we sign the deal!”

She stood with total poise, smoothing her skirt as though she could shake off the moment as easily as she brushed away the wrinkles, and moved to follow Chad.
