The Boss Too: Billionaire Romance Read Online Free PDF Page A

Jamie’s foot got tangled again in her pants, and much to her mortification she felt them slip down to around her upper thighs. Freaking perfect!
    She jerked away from him and quickly pulled up her pants. “Sorry about that.” She laughed nervously. “I’m really clumsy tonight for some reason.” Probably because I’ve dropped two sizes and I haven’t gone shopping yet. It has nothing to do with two and a half glasses of whisky. Not wayyy above my limit at all.
    “You don’t have to apologize, Jamie," Alex’s voice was thick with need. He cleared his throat. “How’s your arm?”
    Jamie looked at her forearm and realized she’d cut it and it was bleeding. It stung as she realized she’d done it, but she would die before she admitted it to Alex. “It’s fine,” she said. “Barely hurts.”
    “It looks pretty bad.” He stood and reached for her. “Sit down on the couch. We’d better clean it before putting a bandage on it.”
    “I don’t have a first aid box,” Jamie mumbled. “I’m fine, really. Just toss me a tea-towel.”
    “That’s the perk of being neighbors.” Alex smiled wryly. “I do.” He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and tapped a few things quickly before pocketing it again. “Murray’s on his way over with it now.”
    “It’s fine, really.” Jamie wondered if her words were slurring. “You shouldn’t have disturbed Murray.”
    “Well, I’ve already texted him.” Alex poured more whisky into her half empty glass. “You don’t want me to text him and tell him he went through the trouble of finding the kit for nothing, do you?”
    Jamie bit her lip, it did hurt like a son-of-a-gun. She hated putting Murray through trouble at all. “I told you it was fine,” she repeated.
    “Jamie, you’re in pain. It’s obvious. And I don’t want that.” His professional facade slipped to show the hunger underneath. However, in the blink of an eye, it was back in place. “I need you at the top of your game during work.”
    “Of course.” Jamie wished she could control her own facial expressions as well as Alex controlled his. She was sure her attraction to him was plain as day right now. Idiot, he was out with another woman. He’s already over you, if he even had any feelings for you in the first place. He didn’t even need to get over you, there was nothing to get over. When are you ever going to learn? Jamie clenched her jaw. She should know better than to fall for the boss when things were officially over between the two of them.
    Alex handed her a glass and a tea-towel before he sat down across from her. “I don’t wish to intrude on anything, but can I ask you something personal?”
    She nodded and took a quick sip of her drink to try to calm the sudden butterflies bashing away in her belly.
    “Is it possible you’re a bit clumsier because you’ve lost weight and now wearing a couple sizes too big?”
    Jamie flushed. That was his personal question? Was it that obvious? She should take offense to him asking her a thing like that, but he didn’t look mocking or teasing in any way. He just looked concerned. Which made her feel bad about herself without the ability to be mad at him. “I just haven’t had time to go shopping. Been a bit of a busy week.” She winced, hating that she was trying to make it sound like it was his fault she hadn’t gone.
    “How about tomorrow I take you shopping?” Alex grinned, as if he was all pleased with himself. “During lunch. You can buy anything you want and I’ll pay for it all.”
    “That’s a very generous offer, but hardly appropriate for a boss and personal assistant,” Jamie said. “Besides, wouldn’t your new girlfriend be ticked with you taking another woman shopping?” Even though all he has to do is show her a picture of me and assure her size-four skinny butt that he doesn’t do pity dating. Shit! I am drunk. She put her hand over her mouth, refusing to let any more stupid stuff come out of it.
    “I was
