Taking Her Boss
Page 4
When I didn’t respond he said, “Come home with me.”
I shot him a look. “To see the house,” he added hastily.
“I’ve seen it.”
“Only a couple of times and then only the first floor. You couldn’t have seen much. You were only there long enough to hand off a few papers.”
“I saw enough.”
“Come on.” He was smiling now. “I’d like to show you my home.”
I sat there frozen, overwhelmed. Unfair, he was far more skilled at this than I.
“No strings,” he said, trying to capture my eyes.
He lied, and he knew I knew he was lying.
I excused myself, needing a minute of near privacy to recover. When I returned, he had settled the bill and stood to help me with my shrug before fitting his hot hand onto my lower back to guide me out of the restaurant and to his waiting car.
As I sat next to him in the backseat of the town car, I was both frightened and exhilarated because I had realized that I couldn’t turn this man down. I could be myself with him—pushy, demanding, cruel or loving. He encouraged it, fed off of it. The prospect was intoxicating and I knew, as the car pulled out into traffic, this was just the beginning.
