Seducing My Assistant (11 page)

“Don’t you want to write a book that’s inspired by true life.” He winked as he kissed the side of my cheek right next to my ear. “Don’t you want the orgasms you write about to be inspired by greatness.” He whispered in my ear and then blew gently.

“What are you doing?” I almost groaned as I pushed him away. “You’re so rude.” I said as my heart raced a million miles a minute.

“Giving you options.” He grinned as he stood there, staring down at me.

“I don’t need your options, thank you very much, Henry James.” I glared at him and shook my head. “All I need is for you to leave my room right now.”

“Your wish is my command.” He said as he walked to the door and then stopped and looked back at me. “And that’s your every wish, Lacey.” He said as he slowly licked his lips. “Your every wish can be my command.”

“I command you to leave right now.” I said, my voice shaking, with both annoyance and excitement.

“Okay, maybe the next time you’ll command me to come.” He said and with that he left the room, chuckling as I stood there gasping in feigned disgust.

"Henry James." I said his name slowly, enjoying the sound of it on my tongue. "Henry James." Why did he have to be so good looking? Why did he have to have emerald green eyes that seemed to gaze into my soul every time he looked at me? Why did he have to be so damn sexy. I just wanted to rip his shirt off and run my fingers down his chest and feel the ripple of his muscles and warm skin against mine. I sighed as I thought of his handsome face and cocky smile. He was the very sort of man that I'd tried my whole life to avoid. He was too handsome, too cocky, too rich, too much trouble. He was the sort of guy that could and would break your heart in an instant and not even think twice about it. I knew that he was the sort of guy that I should avoid at all costs, but I couldn't stop the animal magnetism that I felt towards him every time that I saw him.

"Henry James, what?" Eliza looked at me from her position on the couch, her eyes gleaming as she grinned up at me.

"He's a pain in my ass." I groaned as I walked over to her and collapsed onto the couch next to her.

"What did he do now?" She couldn't stop grinning at me and I frowned.

"He propositioned me." I shook my head as I remembered what he'd said to me.

"He what?" Eliza looked surprised and her eyes narrowed. "What sort of proposition? Like a one night stand?"

"Yup!" I nodded. "He's just like his brother, Xander, only worse."

"Worse?" Eliza laughed.

"He thinks he's hot stuff." I groaned as I remembered the feel of his fingers on my back, pressing into my skin and the way his tongue had felt as it ran up my neck. "He thinks he can have me whenever he wants and that I won't be able to resist."

"Can you resist?" Eliza laughed and I narrowed my eyes at her, before groaning.

"I don't know." I bit down on my lower lip. "He's just so hot."

"You know you could use this as material for play the player." Eliza said with a grin.

"How?" I frowned at her, wondering if she was being serious.

"Keep it light and casual and make him fall for you, and then back off. Date other guys. Make him think you don't care. Make him think you don't want anything serious either. It will drive him crazy."

"But you know I'm not that sort of girl."

"I know it and you know it, but he doesn't know it." Eliza winked at me. "Have some fun and give him a taste of his own medicine."

"Hmm, I don't know." I knew she could hear the doubt in my voice. "I feel like that's the sort of plan that works well in movies, but not in real life."

"Don't you want to sleep with him?"

"No." I said quickly and then groaned. "I mean, okay, I've thought about what it would be like to be with him. Come on, now. I'm human. I've got needs." I laughed. "And he is hot as hell." I thought about his sexy smile and body again and sighed. "But is that enough? Is it really worth it for me to possibly risk getting my emotions involved and hurt, just for some hot sex?"

"What if it was the hottest sex of your life?" Eliza wiggled her eyebrows. "What if he tied you up and did things to you that you couldn't even imagine?"

"Tied me up?" I looked at her in surprise. "Is that something you and Scott have going on?"

"No." She laughed. "But Henry seems the sort that would be very kinky."

"How did you know?" I asked her in surprise.

"I didn't." Eliza grinned at me. "But do tell. How do you know?"

"Ugh." I groaned, my face turning red as I looked away.

"Lacey!! Are you holding back on me? How do you know?"

"I'm embarrassed to say." I moaned as I thought back to the party.

"Lacey." Eliza grabbed my hand. "Tell me exactly what happened last night!"

"Ugh." I glanced up at her and I could see the excited anticipation in her eyes. She looked positively giddy as she waited to hear what I was going to say. "He's a pig."

"What did he do?" Her voice was excited. "Tell me now!"

"He spanked me." I said, biting down on my lower lip.

"He spanked you?" Her voice rose. "Why? And did he do anything else?"

"Eliza." My face warmed up again as I remembered.

"Oh my God, what else did he do?" She leaned forward eagerly. "I cannot believe you didn't tell me any of this before."

"He bit me." I mumbled.

"He what?" Eliza's eyes widened.

"He bit me on the ass." I said and giggled. "After he spanked me."

"No way." Her jaw dropped. "Did it hurt? Did he bite you hard?"

"It didn't hurt." I shook my head and grinned at her. "To be honest, it was hot as hell."

"Wow."

"But of course I didn't let him know that." I laughed. "I stormed out of the room indignantly."

"Good for you."

"But all night, all I could keep thinking about was what would he have done next?" I made a face at her. "And I wondered just how kinky he really is."

"You should find out." Eliza grinned. "Maybe he will take you on the ride of your life. No pun intended."

"Eliza." I groaned. "I don't want to go on the ride of my life. You know I'm not the sort to just have a sexual relationship."

"Why not?" She laughed. "It could be fun."

"Or it could leave me with incredible heartache." I sighed. "I already know he's not looking for a relationship. I know he's not looking for anything serious. I don't know if I can do a casual relationship."

"Yeah." She nodded. "That's true. You don't want to end up getting hurt."

"Nope." I looked at her and sighed. "I don't need another heartache."

"I know." She nodded. "You need to meet a nice guy."

"Yeah." I agreed, though my mind drifted back to Henry. A part of me wished that I could just have a casual relationship with him. A part of me wished that I wasn't as idealistic about love and sex as I was.
