Chapter 7: Derrick's POV
I still can't believe I ruined my morning over this.
The merger deal is a disaster, the board is panicking.
Robin is doing his best to hold everything together.
But I don't care. Somehow, in the midst of this chaos, I cannot focus.
Not on the deal, not on the board, not on the millions of dollars I'm going to loose if I mess this up. My mind wanders to the woman holed up in my penthouse, time and time again.
Ayla.
In my penthouse, in my bed.
Waiting for me.
I left her this morning, naked, aching and wanting. I saw the need in her eyes, felt it in the way her body arched into mine.
And I left her.
I was hard when I walked out the door, I'm still hard now. Hours later.
I need her.
I need to bury myself inside her wet heat and forget everything else.
