Page 746 of One More Kiss

As we walk up to the board room, Clarice comes out of the break room with a tray of coffee, and gives my brother a seductive smile while batting her eyelashes. I could strangle him where he stands for sleeping with her.

Shaking my head, I push past him and into the board room. Everyone gets to their feet as my brother and I enter. It might be an asshole thing, but I don’t pay them much attention. I simply take the seat at the head of the table and let Clarice hand me my coffee.

“Good morning, team,” my brother greets the handful of employees he has picked to help me with this project. “I’d like to introduce you to my brother, Nicholas Brooks. As you may already know, he is the head of our New York branch, but I decided it would be helpful to have him help out here for a while.”

I almost laugh, he’s making it sound like it was his idea. Father was the one who forced him to comply. If William had his way, he’d do anything he wanted and damn the consequences, which is why he’s banging his secretary.

“Nicholas, may I introduce you to the team.” He pauses and I look up at him grimly and he continues. “Over here we’ve got Mike and John, our best architect and lawyer on staff.” I give them each a small nod.

“Bill across from you is our general contractor.” I look ahead and give him a nod as well.

“Next to him is Naomi, our public relations manager.” Naomi, a busty blonde, gives me a little wave and leans forward, flashing me her cleavage. Her red-painted lips pull into a seductive smile, and her eyes gleam with mischief and devious thoughts. One look at her and I know how she is going to play it. She thinks she can get away with anything and everything simply by flashing her tits.

I already don’t like her.

“Then to your other side, you’ll find Riley Moore, our interior designer.” My gaze swings to my right, falling onto the women sitting closest to me.

Her face is pale, her plump lips are parted slightly, almost in shock as she stares back at me with big, ocean blue eyes. Long brown hair is pulled up into a tight bun that sits high on top of her head, making her look professional.

Very unlike the thoughts I’m having about her at the moment. My dick hardens in my pants and I have to adjust my seat, taking care no one notices. She’s as beautiful as I remember, and those lips…

I can’t stop looking at her face, the same face I’ve been fantasizing about for the last two days. My heart thunders in my chest. William continues talking, but the loud thoughts echoing through my head drown his voice out.

Anna is Riley.

Riley is on the team.

A team I’m supposed to lead.

I fucked Riley. I’m her boss. She’s an employee. And worst of all… I’m thinking about doing it again.
