‘So he reversed?’ I asked.

‘Ya mon!’

‘So we’re not going to die?’ I added, my throat suddenly feeling dry.

‘Nuh!’Bob laughed.‘Everyting irie!’he repeated.

But as I glanced sheepishly at Alejandro and quickly pulled down my dress which had been hitched up around my waist, I knew that everything was notirie.

Not in the slightest.

Of course, I was glad that we’d survived. That was amazing.

The thing that was far from amazing though was that I’d just kissed the man I worked with.

The guy that was off limits.

The guy who was technically a junior member of staff.

We’d kissed. He’d touched my breasts.

He was seconds away from touching my pussy and doing God knows what else in the backseat of a car being paid for by my employer. And I’d encouraged it, all because I thought it was our last moments on earth.

But now we were very much alive.

As for my career, after that reckless act, it was doomed.

Fuck.

I thought that going off the edge of a cliff was my biggest problem.

Turned out that now we’d survived, I was in even bigger shit than I could’ve ever imagined.

ALEJANDRO

I had fucked up.

I told myself that I would not cross the line with Jasmine. I said that I would keep things professional between us.

But instead, I had kissed her.

Well, technically she kissed me.

The important thing was,we kissed. And because I had gone against my word and put my career at risk, I should regret it.

Right now, I should feel disappointed in myself for not being able to resist my urges, just hours after making a commitment to control them.

But although I knew I should not have done it, the truth was, I was not sorry that it happened.

How could I when it felt so incredible?

Kissing Jasmine was everything that I had wished for and more.

Her lips were softer than butter. Her taste was sweeter than the most delicious dessert. And her skin.Madre mía. I did not have words to describe how silky it was.

Feeling her lips on mine and the sensation of our tongues flicking against each other’s was enough to make me hard. But when I touched her nipples, which were like stone, I nearly lost my mind.
