“He’s sending you gifts. Zander ignores most people. He doesn’t like being touched by anyone not in his close circle. And he’d never send someone gifts if he wasn’t interested in them.”
When she left, Keira just sat there, thinking. Honey wasn’t wrong, she wasn’t good enough for Zander. But if he wanted her . . .
Was she strong enough to turn him down?

Bossy Boss Man:Did you like today’s gift?
She shouldn’t tellhim yes. But as she glanced down at the soft onesie with images of mice chasing cats, she knew she couldn’t lie.
The gift was . . . pretty perfect. She didn’t know how he was managing to get her gifts while he was working. He’d been away close to two weeks now. And almost every day, something turned up for her.
It made her feel special. Something she’d never really felt in her life.
Keira:They’re amazing. So soft and comfy. I have them on right now.
Bossy Boss Man:Good. I’m glad you like them. What did you do today?
Keira:Oh, you know. Went to Paris and sipped champagne, sunbathed on a beach in Majorca, ate seafood in Cinque Terre. The usual.
Bossy Boss Man: . . .
Keira:I watched a romantic comedy set in Paris, and then Webb and I watched a travel show and a movie.
Bossy Boss Man:That was my guess.
Keira:Are you all right?
She winced after asking that.She didn’t want him to think she was weakening in her resolve to keep some distance between them.
Even though she totally was.
Bossy Boss Man:I’m fine. I miss you.Do you miss me?
She madeherself put the phone away. But it was hard. So damn hard.

Bossy Boss Man:What are you wearing?
Keira:Nope, we’re not doing that.
Bossy Boss Man:Doing what?
Keira:Sexting.
Bossy Boss Man:That’s sexting? I thought sexting would be where I told you to do something sex related. Like to pinch your nipples and rub your clit.
Her face went brightred even though she was alone and he couldn’t see her. Was he for real right now?
Keira:That is sexting!
Bossy Boss Man:But I didn’t tell you to do that. I asked you what you were wearing.
Uh-oh.Now she really was bright red, but for a completely different reason.
Keira:I think I might have misunderstood. Did you really want to know what I was wearing?
