A Slap in the Face

Dane

He'd been so distracted by the time they got in the building, he'd gone straight to his office and closed the door. If he didn't, he'd end up grabbing her in the hall or something and this entire plan would be for nothing.

How was he going to keep his hands off her all day? It was impossible with her walking around so pretty and flushed. The way she'd grabbed him in the car, he'd almost told the driver to turn around and to hell with anyone else finding out.

But all it took was one memory of his ruthless father, one imagined moment when someone nudged his dad and whispered her name in his ear…

That strengthened his resolve. So, by mid-morning he'd managed to get a few phone calls done and catch up with most of his emails. Staff meeting was the next day. He'd do some random checks that afternoon, maybe head home a little early. Hmmmm…He could text Lila and encourage her to find a reason to leave early too. Then maybe they could—No!
