“Chirene.”
“No, shut it Jacob. You’re an inconsiderate, pompous jackass who doesn’t deserve—”
She paused; the heated flare of his brown eyes stared at her so intently, her breath was stolen from her. Every fantasy she’d ever imagined with him radiated at her. Unable to withstand his intense, uninhibited gaze, Chirene glanced down and nearly gasped as the outline of a very large arousal greeted her through the polyester fabric of his trousers.
“Oh my,” Chirene blurted out, raising a hand to her mouth. She’d fantasized about Jacob’s size before, but what was obviously evident within his pants was much larger than she had guessed. “I, um…”
“I have never been as turned on as I am right now.” Jacob’s voice was low, hoarse as he stepped towards Chirene. “No one has ever spoken to me like you did just now and I have to say,” his lips curved up in a sexy smirk, “I definitely like it.”
He stepped closer to her and Chirene backed up until she hit the paneled wall behind her. Jacob raised his arms up and braced his hands against the wall on each side of her, encasing her inside a cage of steely muscles.
“That’s exactly the kind of attitude I wanted to see from you," he muttered, his breath warm and smelling of peppermint, before leaning in and capturing her mouth with hungry urgency.
Chirene couldn’t move, frozen by the intoxicating motion of his lips devouring hers. His cologne, a dark, musky fragrance, invaded her head and weakened her knees. He moved closer, his fingers gently tucking her blonde hair behind her ears and framing her face. She felt the pressure of his bulging shaft on her stomach and jumped.
“Wait,” she protested and pressed a hand against him, trying to ignore the hardness of his chest. “What are you doing?”
“What I should have done a long time ago.”
Her own words emerging from his mouth sent chills up her spine as she realized exactly what he meant. If his actions were any indication, then she could have been in this predicament a long time ago, if only she’d spoken up. But she believed in not mixing business relationships with pleasure.
However, Jacob was no longer her boss and perhaps it was time she showed him exactly who it was he’d let go.
“Then do it.”
