But it doesn’t stop me from coming alive as I see her walk through the door. She’s just as beautiful as I remember her. Her gorgeous body is hidden behind a drab skirt and a white shirt, but I can only imagine the beauty that is beneath the clothes. My cock hardens as I imagine her perfect ass, her heavy breasts, her hard pink nipples pushing against her shirt. It takes everything in me not to pounce on her and fuck her right here in the lobby.
Our eyes lock and I see something in her face change. I hear her gasp a little and step back. It’s like she’s mirroring everything I’m feeling, noticing the crazy chemistry in the air, realizing that there’s something between us. We haven’t even spoken to one another yet, but I just know that we have been reunited for a reason. Screw everything trying to keep us apart. Screw anyone who won’t want us to be together. I know now that I’ve seen her again that there’s nothing going to hold me back from having her. I’m going to make her mine.
She takes a tentative step toward me, unable to meet my eyes. She holds out her hand for me to shake.
“Hi, I’m Harmony.”
“I know. I’m Wade, your dad’s friend,” I growl, looking her up and down. Her eyes are wide as she looks me up and down.
“Have we...have we met before?”
“I was at your eighteenth birthday party.”
“You were?” she asks, looking confused. “I...I feel as though I’d remember you...you’ve got a memorable face.”
Our eyes lock again and I know for sure now that she’s feeling all the same crazy symptoms I am. Heart racing. Blood pumping. Butterflies in our stomachs. Yes, there’s no denying she wants me as much as I want her. I see her cheeks turning red and feel her hand tremble a little in mine. I break away the handshake to give her some reprieve.
“We’ve never spoken, but I’m glad we’re getting the opportunity now,” I growl. A small smile plays on her lips, but she still can’t meet my eye. It’s kind of sexy how nervous she is. It only proves to me that she wants me as much as I want her.
“I’m looking forward to working for you,” she says. I watch her eyes drop down my body to my bulging cock in my pants. She must be able to tell how goddamn hard I am for her. Does she have any idea how much I want to grab her and fuck her right this second?
But all in good time. I’m not an animal, even if her presence is making me feel like one. I’ve waited three years for this moment. I can wait a little longer. I put a hand on the small of her back and begin to guide her to the elevator.
“Allow me to show you around my empire…”
In the elevator, it takes everything in me not to press her up against the wall and kiss her, the walls seeming like they’re closing in on us as we head up to the top floor. It’s almost a relief when we step out because holding back from her is proving harder than I ever thought possible. I keep my hand on her back as I show her around, watching every head turn to look at her. Every man in this office is eyeing her up like a piece of meat, and it makes me angry. Don’t they know she’s mine? Don’t they know the things I’ll do to any man who tries to steal her away? I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my woman.
As we walk around the office, making small talk, greeting co-workers, and casting glances at one another, I know for sure that this all happened for a reason. We were meant to be brought back together.
It’s my time to make her mine.
Chapter Two
Harmony
I’m halfway through my first day on the job and already, I have no idea how I’m going to come here every day and face Wade. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted and more. He’s handsome, intelligent, sexy, and possessive. Already, I can tell he wants me too. I can tell from the way he acted around the office, keeping me close to him, glaring at any man that dared to come too close to me. It’s clear to me that the chemistry between us is off the charts.
But this can’t happen. Not only is he my boss, but he’s also my dad’s friend. I can’t imagine what he’d do if he found out that I’m lusting after Wade. Or indeed, what he’d do if he discovered that Wade is as into me as I am into him. He’d be so shocked. I mean, given that he forced me into this job in the first place, it almost seems like a cruel joke on my father’s half. But it also feels like fate that I’m here. This sexy older man has completely swept me off my feet in less than a few hours, and now, I can feel myself falling deeply for him. I want him more than I’ve ever wanted anything before.
