Emily Brown is intelligent, hardworking, and days away from finishing her MBA. She has a dream job at a top-tier consulting firm and a terrific apartment in New York City. The only problem? She doesn't like her boss, who happens to be a gorgeous, infuriating man. Robert Ramirez is blunt, demanding, and always gets what he wants. And what he wants is his brilliant assistant - Emily. She's excellent at her job and surpasses his every expectation. So why can't he stop thinking about her? When their friction reaches its boiling point, Robert and Emily are forced to confront their complicated feelings for each other, and the result is a deliciously erotic office romance that neither of them can resist. As they explore their mutual desire, they uncover secrets about themselves and their pasts and learn that love can be messy, complicated, and downright beautiful.

CHAPTER 41

He delivered a powerful thrust, and as his climax approached, every muscle in his body clenched up before he slumped on me. He murmured "Damn, damn, damn" into my hair before becoming quiet, his body still pressing heavily against mine.

The air conditioner rattled to start, then hummed steadily. Robert paused to gather his breath before rolling off of me and stroking my perspiration-covered back. "Emily?"

"Mmm?" I whispered.

He continued, "I want more than just this," in a heavy, resonant voice that made me wonder whether he was really awake.

My thoughts erupted into a frantic state of chaos as I froze. "What the heck did you just say?"

He struggled to open his eyes, then turned to look at me. "I want to be here with you."

I lifted my arm to look up at him because I was unable to think of a meaningful reply.
