On Company Time

Jimmy's job in customer service is just a paycheck, in his eyes. His boss Debbie wishes he were more of a "people person" and more enthusiastic about coming to work. To improve his skills, she schedules him to attend a two-day, out-of-town workshop Jimmy's already dreading. Then he discovers Scott Raines will be tagging along. Jimmy's had a fierce crush on Scott, who works in sales, since his first day at the office. The man is gorgeous and funny and so damn intimidating, Jimmy hasn't yet screwed up the courage to ask him out. Maybe the workshop will provide the perfect opportunity to remedy that. They'll travel together, share a hotel room, and who knows where things may lead? Johnny might yet get to make his move. Unless Scott makes one first.

Chapter 7

With a gentle squeeze,he murmurs,“Come on,Jimmy.Let’s check in and then we’ll decide what to do.I’m not up for a big social event any more than you are,I’m sure.I mean,really—I just drove what,six hours?But trust me,you don’t want to stay out here in the car.”

Before I can stop myself,I whisper,“I would if you stayed with me.”

He laughs.The sound rumbles through me like thunder,and I want to curl up against him,press my ear to his chest,listen to that laugh echo deep within his heart.“I’m going to stay in the room,”he says.“Are you going to sleep out here or what?”

“I don’t sleep with guys on the first date,”I tell him,struggling to tampdown the goofy grin that threatens to split my face.“I barely know you.”

That earns me another laugh,and then his hand disappears from mine as he opens the car door.The quiet metallic sound the car makes when the door is open—beep beep beep—goads me into stretching again.
