High Stakes Desire
“Ms. White?” a smooth voice asked from right behind her, a
voice she instantly recognized. Cal
Mustang. Of course! He was as quiet
as a cat!
Elizabeth stiffened in her seat and groaned. The stupid
bondage book sat open on the table, her dirty little secret shining in the
light.
“Yes, sir?” she asked without turning around. Trying to hide
the book now would just make her seem like a guilty child caught with a hand in
the cookie jar.
“Interesting read?” he asked and gripped her shoulder while
turning the page with his other hand.
Taking a deep breath, Elizabeth smelled the faint fragrance
of spice mixed with his own rich scent.
A woman with her mouth gagged and her hands tied behind her
back stared at them from the book, her face twisted with delight. The rope
wound around her bare breasts and arms, the intricate knots digging into her
smooth flesh so she couldn’t move at all. Elizabeth felt just as helpless at
that moment.
“I guess, sir.”
“It must be if you brought it to work with you,” he said and
looked at her as if he were seeing her for the first time.
Her breath caught in her throat as she stared into his dark,
fathomless eyes and the way his straight black hair fell against his temples.
What was she supposed to say? He probably thought she was a freak. But even as
her heart banged against the walls of her chest, warmth flooded her panties.
Why was she excited about being caught? Maybe it was just a
relief that someone else knew about it, even if it was the last person she
wanted to tell. Or maybe it was because her dream man was finally paying
attention to her- although it was the wrong kind of attention.
“I’m s-sorry sir. I was just eating lunch and-”
“I needed to speak to you if you’re finished,” he said,
effectively cutting her off.
Swallowing the lump in her throat, Elizabeth nodded. “Of
course. When?” Was he going to fire her for looking at a dirty book at work?
Cal Mustang was known for being hands on. Hell, he even played at the poker
tables on the floor from time to time!
“Right now,” he said, the heat of his breath caressing her
ear.
“Yes!” she said and stood up, slamming the book shut before
shoving it into her oversized purse. This was the last time she brought
something so provocative to work with her- if she even had a job after this!
When she turned around Mr. Mustang loomed over her. His
shoulder’s broad and his black hair carelessly brushing his forehead. He had to
be a decent six feet two or three, and powerfully built to boot- although not
as bulky as the head of security. Elizabeth wasn’t short, but he made her feel
like she was.
“Shall we?” he asked, the corner of his mouth quirked like
he was on the verge of smiling.
She nodded quickly, and then stopped when she realized she
probably looked like a bobble headed doll.
They walked down the long hallway in silence, the patterned
carpet squishing under their shoes. Mr. Mustang’s had been polished to such a
shine they reflected the dim, fluorescent light. Elizabeth glanced at her own
modest heels. Should she polish them too?
She watched his back, the way his black suit fit his frame
perfectly. Probably tailor-made and designer- Cathy would know the brand. The
pants hugged his perfectly round ass, and Elizabeth looked away. He was a good
decade or so older than was, but a girl could dream.
“Why didn’t your
secretary fetch me?” she asked as they stepped into the elevator at the end of
the hall.
“She retired yesterday. I’m replacing nearly everyone on my
personal staff at the moment. You probably heard the news,” he said and leaned
against the wall with his hands in his pockets. He looked too relaxed- like he
was playing a part. How could he be calm at a moment like this?
“Yes.”
“Good, then I don’t have to explain it. Do you think you can
handle the accounts?” he asked, his handsome face impassive as he watched the
numbers on the elevator rise one by one.
Elizabeth gaped at him, her eyes wide. Was he really asking
her? Cathy wouldn’t let her live this down! “What? Me? All the accounts from
Wild Horses, Cabaret Club and Shanghai?”
Mr. Mustang glanced at her sideways. “Yes. Why not you?”
Elizabeth fiddled with the handle of her purse. “But Simon’s
been here for ages, and I only just started six months ago. Plus, I only handle
payroll here.”
A little furrow formed between Mr. Mustang’s trimmed brows.
“I fired Simon. I need someone new and loyal. I hope that’s you, Elizabeth,” he
said in a tone that made the hair stand up on her neck. If she said ‘no’ it
would seem like she wasn’t loyal to him.
“Of course.”
“So you accept the position?” he asked.
Did she even have a choice? Denying your boss could cost you your job, Ellie! “Yes. I’d be
honored.”
“Good. You’ll start right away. Go get your things and bring
them up to my office,” he said and stepped out right as the elevator doors
glided open. “Don’t disappoint me.”
