When Olivia walked into hisrge room, her mouth dropped open at the fancy suite. But she couldn’t even begin to appreciate the sheer size of the room. Her stomach swooped with anticipation when she felt Alexander’s warm body press up against her back.


    right.”


    A gasp escaped her lips, and it echoed in the spacious room. “Alexander…I’m sorry for believing the gossip I heard about the reason you came to Ld and then telling Gai about it. That was Olivia’s checks grew hot when she realized her voice came breathless, and a warm flush was spreading across her bod


    Alexander remained silent, and she wished that she could see his face to interpret his facial expression.


    “Are you still angry with me even after I apologized?” Olivia asked after a moment.


    “What do you think?” he asked and wrapped his strong arms around her, pulling her flush against his warm body.


    She let out another gasp. This one was even louder. Anticipation curled in her stomach as she felt every hard line of Alexander’s muscled body press into her soft one. But she couldn’t allow herself to be distracted.


    “Why don’t we just sit down on the couch and talk things through?” Olivia suggested.


    He leaned down and put his lips right up against her ear. His breath and closeness made her shiver. “I’d rather stay standing,” he whispered, then spun her around until they were face–to–face, their lips only

    Olivia ced her hands on his sturdy chest and bit her lip as she stared into his dark, unreadable eyes. Her thighs began to tremble.


    Now that they were alone in the dimly–lit hotel room, what was about to happen next?

    The tension between us was enough to light the entire room on fire.


    Alexander’s eyes shot down to my lips, and I shocked myse the first to lean toward him. My eyshes fluttered close, and could practically feel his mouth against mine…

    But then I realized what I had actually been about to do. It was like someone had sshed cold water over me, and I stepped away from Alexander’s strong embrace so that I could actually form a coherent thought.


    I shook my head to clear it. I couldn’t believe that I’d almost kissed my boss! Why had I allowed my attraction for him to blind me? Especially when he had been such a jerk to me tonight and used me as his emotional punching bag.


    “You’re the one who said that you’re going to keep things professional between us from now on,” I pointed out and looked down at his arms that were still encircled around me.


    But he simply just tightened his hold, pressing me close against his strong body again. My stomach flipped even though I wished I didn’t react to him.

    There was indecision in his eyes, but when he nced down at my lips again, his expression changed to one of steely determination. “Well, let me give you a clue.”


    My legs shook as he gently cupped my face with his warm hands. He stared deep into my eyes and pressed his lower body against mine. A low moan escaped my lips when his hard length pressed against my

    Alexander swooped down and swallowed my moan by kissing me long and hard. My body automatically took over, and I threaded my fingers through his hair and opened my mouth, touching my tongue to his.


    My pulse raced as his hands possessively tightened around my hips, and he kissed me like I was his. This didn’t seem like just a kiss. It felt more like a warning. It seemed like Alexander was iming me as his.


    This thought tore me out of my lustful fog, and I managed to pull myself away from him. Our eyes locked together just like our lips had been a second ago. To the side of Alexander was a mirror, and when I saw what I looked like, my stomach plummeted.


    My auburn hair was tousled, and my lips were swollen and red from kissing Alexander. I didn’t look even remotely like myself.


    I nced back at Alexander and stared at him usingly. “What the hell?”
