moved to get rid of the condom. He really would have to send a thank-you for that swag basket. As he looked everywhere but at her, he noted his office was a mess, the items from his desk scattered all over the floor.
    He didn’t say anything as he cleaned up a bit and got himselfin order and she did the same. She primped her hair, but not with the sense of ease the other women he usually dealt with did. Her dressed-up act was total bullshit, a costume to put on and play pretend. Part of him was relieved. He liked her more natural and at ease, but another part was turned on that she was playing a game. Role-playing. He did so very enjoy it, and not in the naughty-secretary sense. In the sense that role-play, even just to pretend you don’t know your girlfriend, pick her up in a bar and fuck her in the parking lot in the car, was hot and it kept a sense of fun in a relationship.
    Of course, relationships and girlfriends were something he didn’t allow himself and didn’t miss. And the woman now pulling her dress back down over her newly restored pantied ass was a nice, quick fuck and that was that.
    â€œWhile I’m thankful for the enjoyable interlude, Ialready told you I’d assist you if I remembered those names.” He smiled arrogantly. He needed to keep her at arm’s length.
    She merely returned the smile, but hers was…well, serene. Serene? He’d just eaten her pussy on his desk and fucked her senseless and she looked like that? Even as the scent of sex hung between them, beating at him, she calmly grabbed her little sparkly bag and headed for the door.
    â€œI’ll be in touch before I leave Las Vegas.”
    Speechless, he watched as she left.

    Nell wanted to laugh out loud when she noted the look of shock on his face when she didn’t rise to his little jab. Amateur. Oh, he was scared because he’d felt it, too, the depth of this thing between them.
    His sort of grumpy behavior after he’d given her so much pleasure and had clearly taken his share, as well, sort of amused her. Dear God, she may have even been charmed by it.
    It was probably love, then, since in any other situation if a man had said that he’d be spitting out his teeth.
    Galen saw her approach and snorted. “Well, I guess I don’t have to ask how your meeting with him went. He’s standing in his doorway looking at you, by the way.”
    â€œHe’s a tool. Come on, let’s roll.”
    Galen put an arm around her shoulder and walked out with her. “You all right? Do I need to beat him up for you?”
    â€œHe’s meant for me, Galen,” she said quietly once they’d left the noise of the club. “I know it. He feels it, but he’s scared.”
    Galen paused and then took a deep breath. He touched her face briefly, smiling. “Ah, darlin’, I wish this moment could be easy for you. You’re going to have to take some stickwhile he figures it out. That’s going to suck. Humans, Christ. You couldn’t get some nice male witch?”
    She laughed. “Fate, you can’t fight her or she’ll kick your ass. He’s—” she paused with a shrug “—it. But yes, he’s trying to push me away with his reactions. It won’t work and frankly, he’s the one who’s going to come for me in the end.”
    Galen wrinkled his nose. “Too much info there, Nell.”
    She tsked. “Shaddup! You know what I mean. To my door, to me. Perv.”
    â€œI expect you’ll take a few knocks between now and then. He’s not going to accept it the same way we do. But he’ll come around. How could he not? You’re wonderful. And if he doesn’t, I’ll kill him.”
    She grinned and hugged him briefly. “You’re so awesome. Come on, let’s get some sleep, shall we?”
