I gritted my teeth and held her gaze.

“You’re playing with fire, kitten. Don’t start something you can’t handle,” I warned.

“Bring it on, big boy,” she replied with a sneer. “Unless you’re afraid.”

I clenched my jaw and looked away.

“I’m not afraid, Tia. I’m trying to be a gentleman here, and you’re making it very difficult for me.”

“You’ve never been a gentleman in your life. Why start now?” she taunted.

“Dammit, Tia! I’m your boss! I cannot take advantage of you.”

She straightened up and turned fully until we faced each other. Her breasts grazed my chest as she stared me in the eye.

“Your aunt made it very clear that she is my boss, Leo. Not you. You couldn’t take advantage of me if you tried. Now, if you have any other objections, step away right now. We will never speak of it again,” she promised.

I knew I should walk away. That was the sensible thing to do. But for the life of me, I couldn’t walk away. Not from this woman.

I picked her up by the waist and set her on the table gently. Her legs parted as I stepped between her knees and she wound them around my hips, leaning back a little as I kissed her.

CHAPTER 15

TIA

Isighed into his mouth as Leo took my lips in a deep, wet, hard kiss that made my toes curl.

I kissed him back just as hard, pouring into it everything I couldn’t put into words. The kiss spoke of my longing for him, of how he had wound himself into the very fabric of my life. It spoke of how I was consumed by this insane need to be one with him, to take him into my body and never let go.

Leo undid the knot on my robe and pushed it off my shoulders. He bit the skin at the point where my neck met my shoulder and sucked hard enough to leave a mark. He nibbled his way down to my breast and pulled my top down to expose it. I smiled at him when he squeezed hard and bent to lave my nipple with his tongue.

I couldn’t hold back a moan when he sucked on my nipple and then, bit it gently. That sent sparks of desire streaking down my body, straight to the core of me.

“Leo,” I moaned.

“What do you want?” he asked gruffly.

“More,” I panted.

He kissed me again as he carried me off the table. I wound my legs around his hips and held on tightly as he began to walk to the door.

“Where are you going?” I asked in confusion.

“Bedroom,” he replied shortly. “I don’t want the staff walking in on us.”

A cold wave of shame swept over me at the thought of Ramsay or any other staff seeing us in this state. What the hell was I thinking? I worked for Leo’s family. Even if he wasn’t my direct boss, I was his family’s employee. What would Ramsay think if he saw me sleeping with the boss? What would Fee think? Or Leo’s brothers?

They had all been very kind to me, but I didn’t think they’d respect me much if they found out what I was up to. And Maddie. Ohmigod, Maddie! What if she saw us? What if she needed me at night and I didn’t go to her because I was with Leo? What if she found me in his bed?

I froze against Leo’s body and he stopped in his tracks.

“What’s wrong?” he asked softly.

I allowed my hair to fall ahead, covering part of my face, and refusing to meet his eyes.

“Please put me down,” I said hesitantly. “I’m sorry, but you were right. This is not a good idea.”

Leo set me down immediately and took a step back.
