I turned slowly. “Why?”
“Because I said so. Don’t make me repeat it, Ava,” he dragged my name when he said it.
My breath hitched. At the warning. At the sound of my name on his lips.
I still hesitated. His eyes darkened at my reaction. He pulled his sleeves upward, getting comfortable on his chair. He was promising me everything I craved.
“Do it.”
I obeyed. I locked the door, not taking my eyes off of him.
He walked toward me, closing the distance slowly. He was so huge. I didn’t even reach his chins on my six-inch heels.
“You’re not yourself today,” he said.
“I’ve just… got a lot on my mind.”
“Yeah?” He circled me like a predator. “Like__why you kissed another man in front of me?”
I swallowed hard. “It’s not like that.”
“Isn’t it?” He backed me up until I was against the desk.
