I sigh and nod. “I’m sorry, Amelia. There are some issues withit.”

“Like what?” She’s getting a little defensive, and I actually have to admit that I likeit.

I grin at her. “I don’t think you really thought I was going to accept this, make it easy onyou?”

“Of course Idid.”

I shake my head. “No, I think you just wanted to get me alone. Show me your bigdesk.”

She raises an eyebrow. “Excuseme?”

“You wanted to show off. Try and impress me.” I lean onto her desk. “And I’m very impressed. Almost as much as I was thatnight.”

She blushes instantly and looks away. She’s trying to be strong, but I can already see how to get at her, make her squirm, and I loveit.

“We don’t have to talk about thatanymore.”

“I know we don’t, but I love reliving that night. Do you know how many times I’ve thought about your body under my hands, sweating andmoaning?”

“How many?” she asks, looking back atme.

“Every night,” I say. “Stroking my hardcock.”

Her mouth drops open but I don’t break her gaze. I’m not even lying about this. It’s the truth. I’ve been thinking about her every night, stroking my big hard cock, imagining what I’d do if I got another chance at that nice, tight littlecunt.

“Can’t we try and keep this professional?” she says quickly, looking away and gatheringherself.

“No,” I say. “Because you wanted to get me alone in your office. Is that what this is about? You want me to fuck you on thisdesk?”

She sighs, shaking her head. “Samuel,please.”

I lean back in my chair and shake my head. “Because honestly, this contract wasn’t the reason you called mehere.”

She stands up and walks around the desk. I’m surprised as she sits down in the chair next to mine, her whole body turned tome.

“Listen, I’m going to be honest with you.Okay?”

“Okay,” I say, a little off-guard.

“I want this to work. I want to give you everything you want, but I also need to keep the company in mind. If you get too much, the company goes under, and we’re all fucked. Work with me here,Samuel.”

I stare back into her eyes and I believe her. She’s so damn earnest, so fucking beautiful. “You have no real stake in this personally, doyou?”

“Not really,” she admits. “If Evans goes under, I can just move back to my old life. My father left me a nice inheritance. I really don’t need any ofthis.”

I nod slowly. “Okay then. You’re not trying to getrich.”

She laughs softly. “You know, it’s weird, but I think I alreadyam.”

I grin back at her. “Fine. I believeyou.”

“So you’ll work with me? Accept thiscontract?”

“No,” I say, and quickly add, “but I’ll work with you to get something we can both livewith.”

She sighs and nods. “Okay. I can acceptthat.”

She stares into my eyes and I suddenly feel something strange. I know Amelia is a good person, or at least she’s trying to be. I believe that she’s honest and really does want to help my guys get a goodcontract.
