Not only has she put her job on the line, but the future of the company.

Instead of firing her for her insubordination, he goes along with the ruse. In his arms–and in his bed–she'd be everything he could ever want...which is why he can't have her.But if he doesn't let her go, they'll lose everything...

Excerpt


All right. His pulse surged. So, back on topic, if were going to do this, well have to kiss fairly often, to make it real. Well have to be comfortable enough with one another... He slid his hands back into place and dropped a kiss on her lips again, pulling back right away. To do things like this without hesitation.

She lifted her face to his, a small breath puffing out, and her lids dropped down. She looked so damn kissable and fit into his arms like a missing piece of himself. All the time. Try it again.

He kissed her again, his lips lingering over hers. Like that?

Mm hmm. Her eyes opened, and she took a deep breath. This is all a horrible idea.

He stepped back and cocked a brow. Do I sense a but coming?

But Ill do it. Her lips quirked. Youre rightwe are a good team. If anyone can make this look real, its us.

Feelings he hadnt let himself experience in years hit him. Gratitude, satisfaction, victory, and excitementthey were all there. The urge to pick her up and swing her in a circle was a tangible thing, but he didnt move. The man he used to be? Hed have done it. But the man hed become wouldnt. Couldnt.

Thank you, Maggie. He held his hand out for her to shake, even though he would rather kiss her. You wont regret this. I promise.

She shivered and slid her hand into his, her gaze dipping to his mouth as she stepped closer. Lets kiss on it. Make it official. That way we get more practice, and we get more comfortable—”

You dont have to sell me on the idea. He hauled her into his arms and dropped a kiss perilously close to her lips. She gasped and rested her hands on his chest. You want me to kiss you? Ill damn well kiss you.

He nibbled on her ear gently this time.

G-Good. But we need to lay out rules, and times where I have to be seen with you, and—” He bit her ear a little harder, then sucked on it to ease the sting. She even tasted sweet there. Like cotton candy, but more addictive. And he fucking loved that fluffy, sugary shit. Benjamin.

Releasing the lobe hed bitten, he kissed the side of her neck again, flicking his tongue over the sensitive skin there. He was coming on strong, but she kept making sexy little sounds every time he touched her, and he couldnt help it. Was that too much?

Her resistance faded with each brush of his lips on her soft skin, and the undisputable attraction between them was drawn so tightly it should snap. Um, maybe...

Im sorry. He brushed his lips across hers again, ever so slightly, lingering this time. Just practicing.


Yeah. Sure. She moaned and grabbed hold of him, swaying closer. Practice.
