Mark exhaled and ran a hand down his face, trying to ground himself. His heart was still hammering, not from the meeting—but from her.
Kendra had just walked in, smoothed out his suit, saved his damn business deal, and then left him standing there like a fool.
He dropped into his chair, rubbing his temples. He had to get a grip. She wasn’t just Rebecca’s daughter—she was his employee now. And yet, every time she spoke, every time she moved, she made him feel something he hadn’t felt in years.
Excitement.
Heat.
Need.
Mark exhaled sharply and turned his attention back to his desk, forcing himself to focus on work.
Minutes later, his office door cracked open again.
Linda poked her head in, smiling knowingly. “So… Kendra just saved your ass, huh?”
Mark shot her a look. “Don’t start.”
