it.
    “One more thing,” he said as he reached in his glass and pulled an ice cube out. He ran it along her skin before using the tea-towel to wipe the melted water away.
    Jamie trembled and shivered from the pleasure. She swore if he ran the cube against her flesh one more time she would have an orgasm without him even reaching into her panties, which were probably wetter than the ice cube water on her skin.
    Alex gently wiped one more time and tossed the towel toward the bathroom, it landed perfectly just inside the door.
    Jamie watched and slowly brought her gaze back to him.
    It felt like time stopped, just for a moment. She was just a girl and he was, well, definitely not just a boy, but a man. There were no job titles, no insecurities, no restrictions, no pressure, nothing, just them.
    Alex’s blue eyes moved back and forth as he gazed at hers. There were tiny little flecks of brown inside the blue, hard to see unless you were that close. He didn’t move.
    Jamie’s thighs trembled. Touch me, please! She was going to explode if he didn’t, or she would if he did. Seconds ticked by. She refused to drop her gaze and neither did he, even when she ran her tongue along her lower lip and then her teeth bit into it. She swallowed and automatically pressed her lips together.
    Alex’s head bent forward and his lashes slowly lowered. Still he watched her through the thickness and his lips touched hers.
    Barely.
    It could have been the wind.
    She swore she felt the slight roughness of the shadow of growth above his lip but she might have imagined it. She could smell his cologne mixed with ladies’ perfume deep in her nostrils, she could almost taste it. She closed her eyes and waited for his lips to demand and consume hers.
    Except they didn’t.
    The click of the first aid kit closing made her blink as she opened her eyes.
    “I should get back to my place,” Alex said as he cleared his throat. “I’m in desperate need of a shower.”
    I’ll join you. The moment had passed. Never to be felt again.
    Jamie jumped up and away from him. “Yeah, that’s probably a good idea.” She raised her arm. “Thanks for the fix, boss.”
    He nodded and stood. “No problem. Thanks for, uh, covering me this week. It won’t happen again.”
    Which part? The leaving, or the leaving her hot and panting? “Sounds like a plan.”
    Alex walked to the door and hesitated just before he opened it. “We good?” he asked her, the uncertainty in his voice clear.
    He needed her as his personal assistant, not a one-night stand or a girlfriend. She understood that clearly now. “We’re good.” She forced a smile. “I’ll see you in the morning at the office.”
    “Definitely.” He stepped outside, only to pop his head in a split second later. “Don’t forget we’re going shopping.” He glanced down. “Sorry, pj’s won’t be included.” He laughed and quickly shut the door before the pillow she threw hit him.
    The idea of shopping for nightwear with Alex was a dream that left her restless and panting long after she went to bed.

    Jamie sighed contemplatively as she looked at the new clothes Alex had bought her. She had no idea how much he had spent. He wouldn’t let her look at the price tags as they shopped. In return, she refused to let him buy her clothes that were non-work related, even though he tried once during the shopping spree. She ended up with new suits, silk blouses, and some office-friendly dresses that all made her look like she was a CEO herself and not just a personal assistant. He told her he wanted her to look like she had power, and look good at the same time. He was going to have her attend more business meetings and maybe even entertain some of the clients’ wives, if she was interested, while their husbands were in meetings for negotiations. “My only condition is that I ask to approve the clothes you wear,” he said. “The last thing I need is for you to be looking so sexy that
