that exploded through her system.
    Lucian’s eyes narrowed on her. “Make certain coffee and danish are available. I’ll
    need you at the meeting with Jesse since you were aware of the early stages of the
    contract to design the software. We’ll be working through lunch, so you might want to
    order in.”

    Great. Working through lunch. She had hoped to escape him for at least a little
    while.
    “I’ll contact Breilla’s.” She made a note to call one of the better establishments in the
    city. “Anything else, Master?” she asked sarcastically.
    “Let me see those nipple rings.” The request was made as easily as one for a file
    would be.
    Tally leaned back in her chair and regarded him curiously. She didn’t dare, not with
    the door unlocked, but how she would love to bring him down a notch or two. She
    lifted one hand teasingly, her fingers running over the small pearl buttons as she smiled
    back at him tauntingly.
    It was just too much fun, teasing him and Dev in this manner. It was almost
    addictive.
    “What will you give me?” she asked flirtatiously, her gaze dipping down to the
    bulge straining against his pants as she lifted her eyebrow suggestively.
    Amusement flared in his brilliant green eyes and quirked the edges of his lips.
    “I’ll keep your teasing in mind until the minute I have you stretched across my lap,
    ready for the spanking I’m certain you’ll deserve, and oh so enjoy,” he murmured as he
    moved closer to her desk, staring down at her with a sudden dark hunger that had her
    pulse leaping in response.
    She sighed expressively, lowering her eyes demurely before peeking back up at him
    through her eyelashes. “Promise? Until then, be a good little boss and go make yourself
    useful so I can finish my own chores. I’ll let you know when your first meeting arrives.”
    She dismissed him coolly, turning to power the computer up and begin the day.
    Tally gave the appearance of restraining a mocking smile, though her pussy was
    weeping, clenching in arousal.

    She was aware of him watching her for long moments and the reflective expression
    that came over his face as she continued to ignore him. She had no doubt that he was
    planning her punishment with great relish. But he had been doing that for months now.
    “There are days, Tally,” he finally sighed, “that it’s a damned good thing I’ve
    become so fond of you. Otherwise, I think I’d find a deep, deep hole to bury you in.”
    From the corner of her eye she watched as he turned and walked to the open
    doorway of his own office. When the door closed behind him, she stared down at the
    slight tremble in her fingers. Fond of her? It was little enough, but it struck a chord deep
    inside her. It wasn’t the words, but his tone. Deep, intense, making her want to believe
    it was conveying so much more than words spoken.
    Wishful thinking. She drew in a deep breath, fought to regain her composure and
    turned back to the computer. She didn’t have time for wishful thinking.

    Lucian managed, just barely, to put aside the hunger building in his cock and
    attend to business that morning as needed. It was the afternoon he was awaiting. His
    calendar was clear for the rest of the day and he intended to begin the seduction of
    Tally then. He knew he was courting a sexual harassment suit; hell, if he were Tally he
    would have likely already slapped one in his face. The only thing saving him, he knew,
    was that she wanted him just as badly as he wanted her.
    He knew she did. He could see it in her eyes, the knowledge that he held the key to
    her darkest desires. He knew her as very few people did. She had given him the key to
    her downfall and it made her madder than hell to know it.
    The meetings progressed quickly. Thankfully, there seemed to be no glitches in the
    present projects and everything was running smoothly. Lunch was eaten during the
    final meeting with Anderhaul amid discussion of the
