He led me into the study on shaky legs. I was still a little in shock, I think, at what had just happened between us.
After yesterday’s kiss, I knew things had changed between us, but this, this was beyond my imagination. What did it all mean?
I had nothing with which to measure this against; first, a dream job, and now the most beautiful man in the universe wanted me. It was almost too good to be true.
He sat me in one of the comfortable chairs in front of the desk before moving around behind it.
I noticed that his face had changed and was now set in very serious lines, and it made my tummy cramp a little.
He took a key from his pocket and opened a drawer, removing a thick leather-bound folder and placing it on the desk in front of him. Only then did he look at me.
When he brought his two forefingers together under his nose with the thumbs under his chin and just gazed at me, I knew I was in trouble; that brought me to the edge of my seat.
