Excerpt
Mr. Felton stood facing the windows in a neatly pressed suit. The
black tie complemented the black suit, designer from head to toe. His green
eyes met my brown gaze, and I smiled, but only received the ghost of one in
return.
Once the secretary left us, I searched the room, trying to take in
every little detail: abstract art on the wall, a conference table in the back,
and a lounge area in the middle. The afternoon light cast a yellow glow in the
room. A large oak desk, which screamed business executive, had two chairs
tucked in front. The room looked comfortable, welcoming, but also professional.
The red velvet curtains that overlooked the atrium were jerked
closed.
"Hi, Finnley. Thank y—"
"It's Mr. Felton."
My face flushed. How could I be so inconsiderate and unprofessional?
I immediately felt stupid.
"Mr. Felton. Thank
you for allowing me to interview. I've brought my resume and a list of
recommendations.
I'd love to join your accounting team if you'd allow me."
I outstretched my hand and he left me standing there, awkwardly. The
smile faded from my face as he leaned against the wooden desk with his arms
crossed.
"Take off your clothes." His voice was low and silky.
"Excuse me?" The words hit me like cool water.
I don't think so, asshole.
"The interview has begun, Ms. Downs. If you'd like to join my
team, you will do what I say and if you'd prefer not, you are more than welcome
to turn around and walk that tight ass through the door, and we can pretend as
if this never happened."
The fierce tone behind his English accent made me cower. I froze as
I calculated my next move.
What the fuck?
The way he looked at me, exploring my body as if he were undressing
me, made my stomach flip. No one had ever observed me that way. With a sprinkle
of courage, I searched the blank matter-of-fact expression that covered his
face. This man was all business.
As his long eyelashes hit the tops of his slightly sun-kissed
cheeks, I closed my eyes to regroup my thoughts, then opened them quickly. I
couldn't let my nerves get the best of me. He moved his messy hair behind his
ears, and then sat on the desk, waiting, wanting, daring me to make my move.
"Have you decided? Or are we going to waste the good portion of
my time daydreaming?"
I swallowed.
All I ever wanted to do was live in Vegas among the lights and
fast-paced city. How did I get myself into this? Take off my clothes? I wasn't
some cheap whore to be bossed around. The thought of undressing in front of him
disgusted me… or did it?
My heart sped as he watched with a lust and want so fierce I
shivered. It was now or never, you only live once, right?
I peered behind him and stared at the Vegas strip in the distance.
With perfect plump lips, and straight white teeth, Mr. Felton smiled at me. In
that very moment, I decided to gamble. I didn't know why because I wasn't much
for risks. If anyone was a play-it-safe type of girl, it was me. But in that
moment, I wanted to be someone different. I wanted to know the outcome of what
waited on the other side. I played with lady luck to see what hand she dealt.
Maybe I would get lucky.
