There was shifting on the other line.“You’re absolutely wild for that email, first. Maybe even that didn’t hit her like you thought it did. You still haven’t told me how her mouth was reckless.”

I took the time to tell him about her attitude and our interaction while he laughed the entire time. Joston said some of the same things that my father said to me earlier. I hesitated to tell him about the pay raise and other stuff, but I did. I wasn’t a fan of telling half of a story.

“Damn, Cuzzo, like that? I was going to ask if you planned to fire her, but I guess not after you gave her a twenty-thousand dollar raise. You gonna continue to fuck with her?”he asked.

I shook my head as if he could see me.“I don’t know about that, man. You know I don’t believe in fucking employees.”

“Get the hell out of here with that excuse. The stars that were in your eyes after that girl left your room, you know just like I do that if she gives you the opportunity, you’d fuck her on top of the company logo sign outside. That’s why your ass is on my line talking about her, because you want her.”

My cousin knew me very well. He was right about me fucking her on the logo sign because I would fuck her good ass blowout kinky then back straight. Lark Dawn Hunter was the sexiest woman that I’d ever run across. Even her middle name being Dawn, as it said on her personnel file, was sexy. The pussy, mouth, and ass were things that men would kill over. Her personality in my office made her even more desirable regardless of how I acted toward her. Like I said, I wanted to find a flaw but couldn’t.

I huffed.“Man, whatever. We’ll cross that road if we ever come to it. I still plan to come this weekend.”I was over talking about Lark for the moment.

“Cool. I figured you would. You know it’s about to be up! I’m going to beat ass in this tournament too. That six hundred thousand is going to look good in my bank account.”Joston was the number one player in the nation right now and was the man to beat.

We spoke for a few more minutes before we got off the line. I finished everything that I needed to close out for the night, then headed home. When I climbed into my car, her soft floral smell lingered in it. It was the same scent she wore the night that we met. I wouldn’t mind smelling her scent while I had her in my bed.

When I pulled up to the office this morning, Lark’s Range sat in the parking space in front of the building. The executive assistant had an assigned parking space next to my car, but I told Marla not to let them park there until we knew that they were here to stay. The Range was a nice gray which was the color of my, Travis’s, and Marla’s company Ranges. The other agents also had company vehicles, but they were sedans.

It was earlier than normal for me to be in the office. I wanted to get in before Lark’s smart-ass mouth. I sent her a text earlier with my breakfast and coffee order. I saw that she read it, but she didn’t respond back. Our receptionist and other agents were also in the office. I saw the confusion on their faces to the Range sitting on the parking lot. I wonder who would be bold enough to ask whose it was.

I stopped at the receptionist’s desk. “Good morning. Are there any calls I need to know about?”

Eve looked up from the appointment book that sat on her desk. We made sure we kept both a physical and digital appointment calendar. “Good morning, Chance. There was only one call for a property inquiry under your listing. I gave them the pricing and directed them to your link to schedule an appointment if they were interested.”

I nodded my head before I pivoted to walk away. She called out to me, causing me to turn around. “Cedric dropped off the Range and keys this morning. What did you need me to do with them?”

That was her way of indirectly asking me who it belonged to. “Put the key in an envelope, and drop them in Miss Hunter’s mail slot. Let her know that they are in there when she gets in.”

Her face scrunched. “Miss Hunter, as in the new executive assistant? Since when do the executive assistants get company vehicles?”

I tittered. “Since when does the receptionist feel comfortable enough to ask me about business that isn’t hers? Perhaps I should have Marla search for a new one that understands her role here.”

Her eyes bulged. “I apologize. It just caught me off guard. I will put them in her mail slot.”

I told her thank you as I walked off. I was not a fan of Eve because she liked to keep up mess. I was on the move so much that I never really gave it much thought. If I heard anything about this in the office, she would be looking for another job.

An hour had gone by since I’d been in the office. Lark should be arriving at any minute now. There was a knock on my door about ten minutes after that thought. I told whoever it was to come in. The woman of the hour walked in dressed to kill. Her high-waisted slacks fit her just tight enough to be appropriate for the office. The blouse she wore had an oversized collar.

“Good morning, Chance. Here is your coffee and breakfast.” She walked around my desk to set the items down.

Her scent welcomed itself into my nostrils.Damn, she smells good!“Thank you. I will send you a list of things that I need done in the next hour. Did Eve tell you that the key to your truck is in your mail slot?”

“No, she did not. Thank you for letting me know.” She walked back to the other side of the desk. “I wanted to know if we could have a personal conversation?”

My head tilted before I told her that it was fine and to close the door. She sat down after the door was closed. There was a moment of silence before she started. “This is a little uncomfortable considering that I’m your executive/personal assistant. I wanted to make sure that what happened between us wouldn’t result in our interactions to be awkward or volatile.”

My brows became uneven. “Tell me what happened between us, Lark. I’m not a man that likes to beat around the bush in any aspect of my life.” I wanted her to say it, not allude to it.

She shifted in her seat. “Really, Chance?” When I didn’t say anything, she huffed. “When we met in Vegas and had sexual intercourse.”

“Lark, we are having a personal conversation behind closed doors. You don’t have to be so formal; we fucked. As far as us working together being awkward, it won’t be for me, nor will it be volatile. I can admit that I’m intense in the office. I won’t apologize for that because a lot is required of me; therefore, I require a lot from everyone in this office. Will us having fucked be a problem for you?” I picked up my coffee and took a sip.Perfect.

Her tightened eyes didn’t match the smile on her face. “It will not be a problem at all, Chance. Us fucking is on a separate hand than me being your assistant.” She stood up. “I just wanted to make sure. I have reports to get out to you, Travis, and Marla. When I get your list, I will work on it.”

I watched her ass until she left my office. When she asked me if I wanted her to leave my door open, I told her yes. Lark being here would be hard because of the sight and smell of her. The mere sound of her voice made me want to put my dick so far in her that it suffocated her. She was blessed with skill sets in both the professional and sexual arenas.
