that?”
    He raised an eyebrow. “Does it offend you?”
    “No. Not at all.” Not that he would care if it did anyways.
    “What’s the problem, then?” he asked, spinning towards me.
    “I...I don’t know.” I shook myself, needing to change the conversation. “You hired me as your assistant. What do you need me to do?”
    He gave a small smirk before turning back around in his chair. “Go give Liz all of your information so we can make sure you get paid. And then I want you familiarizing yourself with Reed Industries.”
    I nodded and headed towards the door.
    “Come back after you speak with Liz.”
     

     
    “If you could ask me anything, what would it be?” Parker asked during lunch before stuffing a piece of sushi in his mouth.
    “Hmm...” I curled my feet under me on the white leather couch in his office and looked down at my handwritten notes. “How did you start it all?” We had been chatting all morning about his company. I was truly fascinated with how they were in the market for young entrepreneurs. He started at a young age and he wanted to pass his knowledge to other likeminded kids and young adults.
    “That’s what you want to ask me?”
    I frowned. “Well, what else would I ask?”
    He leaned back on the couch across from me and crossed his ankle over the opposite knee. “How about why I kissed you last night?”
    My cheeks heated. “Well...okay. There is that. So…why did you?”
    “One question.” His eyes shone with amusement. “Is that what you want to know?”
    I nodded slowly.
    He rose from his spot on the couch and closed the distance between us. He brushed the back of his hand down my cheek.
    I shivered under his touch, swaying towards him. Mentally hinting for him to take it further. My eyes fluttered closed and I tilted my head, silently begging for him to kiss me.
    “That’s why,” he whispered in my ear.
    I gasped when his hand wrapped around my throat and he pushed my head back against the couch. “Parker.”
    His eyes darkened. “When you are in this office, you will call me Sir.”
    “Yes…” I licked my dry lips. “Sir.”
    He grinned and pulled me to my feet.
    I followed him around to his desk as he sat in the large chair.
    “You’ve been studying my company all morning.”
    “I still don’t know everything,” I said while he clicked away on the computer.
    “And you probably never will.” He clicked a couple keys on the keyboard, windows popping up every so often on the computer screen. “I started this business when I was twenty-one. I didn’t inherit it. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. My parents made okay money but never enough to put me through school. I worked three jobs to pay my way through college and then university. And I worked damn hard to get Reed Industries to where it is today. I can only go up from here.”
    “It’s quite impressive,” I pointed out, leaning against his chair.
    “It’s something,” he mumbled.
    “Are you happy?”
    He frowned, his gaze meeting mine. “You think I’m not?”
    I shrugged. “I don’t know you that well so I can’t really tell but…but I know...”
    “What, little one? What do you know?” he asked in a mocking tone.
    I swallowed hard. “Forget it.” I made a move to walk away when my hand was grabbed from behind me. “Parker.”
    A wicked glint flashed in his eyes before he bent me over, pushing me face first onto his desk. He leaned into me, restraining me against the hard wooden object. “What do you think you know, pet?”
    I gasped, gripping the edge of the desk. “Please. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you.”
    “You didn’t offend me, Keely. Now answer the question. What, do you think you know?” he demanded.
    My eyes widened as his hand slid up the back of my dress, pushing the fabric to my hips. “Parker.”
    He growled. “Wrong answer.”
     

 
    Parker slid his finger under my panties, his knuckle brushing over my core.
    I whimpered, shaking
