His eyes darkened, and his throat bobbed as he swallowed. Alexander‘ s musky scent was surrounding me, making my head spin, making it so I couldn’t think. His gaze flicked to my mouth, making my stomach flip and desire flutter inside of me.


    I continued to struggle against him, trying to break free of his strong grip, but it was useless. Because he wouldn’t let go of my hand, the needle lowered further into his skin, but he didn’t even flinch from the pain.


    “You have a high pain tolerance,” I said with awe in my voice.


    I couldn’t help the loud gasp that escaped me when Alexander wrapped my legs around his waist and stood up. My warm center pressed against his hard length, and I bit down on my lip so I wouldn’t moan. Pleasure sizzled in my veins as his hot body pressed against me.


    He lowered me onto the top of his hard, cold desk, such a sharp contrast to his warm skin. Alexander pinned me down with his body, and the weight of him made me tighten my legs around his waist before I could think it through.


    “Was your goal to draw blood?” he demanded in a rough, low voice, his eyes on mine. “Because you seeded.”


    Hot embarrassment washed over me, and I shifted ufortably when I looked down out our bodies wrapped around each other. My heart mmed against my chest when I realized that if someone were to walk into Alexander’s office right now, we would never be able to exin this intimate position. This wasn’t like arriving for work in the same car. This was much worse.

    Immediately, I dropped my, gaze. I couldn’t think straight when I was looking into his dark, intense eyes. “Alexander, let me go. Please. If someone walks in. I’m going to got fired.”


    Alexander tightened his grip even more until my palm became wet and sticky.


    My stomach rolled when I realized what I was feeling.


    Alexander’s blood. Guilt stabbed at my chest when I realized that I could have seriously hurt him.


    “Listen, I’m sorry that I tried to stab you awake. I promise never to do it again. It was a stupid mistake,” I said in a small voice.


    Then, I winced as I slowly pulled the needle out of his chest and threw it across the room until it hit the wall and fell to the floor.


    Alexander’s body rxed. He wrapped his strong arms around me and hugged my body close. If I didn’t know any better, I would think that he was smelling my hair. I could hear Alexander’s heart pound against his chest, and his hands shook slightly as they held me.


    My pulse quickened as the enormity of our situation dawned on me. Why had I tried to wake him up with a needle? What had I been thinking? My parents had always called Grandma crazy for doing that.


    As soon as he let me go, I rolled out from under his body and stood from the desk. My thighs were trembling, and my nerves were frayed from being pinned down by Alexander.


    I fixed my hair and straightened my clothes, trying to make it look like nothing had happened. All I wanted to do right now was get out of the room and have a moment alone to think. I spun around to leave, but Alexander caught my wrist just like he had down in the elevator. His touch burned right through me.

    “You’ve hurt yourself,” he said and turned me back around.

    With one finger, he pulled back my shirt and revealed a small puncture wound from the other side of the needle that had stabbed my chest.


    Shock coursed through me. How strange. I hadn’t even felt any pain because I had been so worried about Alexander. I guess it hadn’t been Alexander’s blood I had felt in my hand,


    It was mine.


    “Oh…wow. I’m sorry,” I told him, not knowing what else to say.


    “You’re bleeding, and you’re apologizing to me?” Alexander asked, and he shook his head incredulously. “I don’t understand you<i>,</i>” he said.
