Free For His Pleasure (Dominated By The Billionaire) by Adriana Hunter Page B

assistant
constantly mooning after him that he wasn’t sexually attracted to.
But his efficiency more than made up for that problem, so he would
deal with it. And if Dave had a problem with his current interest
in Katherine, he was just going to have to get used to it. Because
now that he’d set his sights on her, he wasn’t going to back down
until he got what he wanted.
    And as everyone in this office new, Mark
Donaldson always got what he wanted.

    Katherine spent the morning answering
phones, handling correspondence and doing the other myriad front
desk duties expected of her. Every time she sipped from her caramel
macchiato her lips curved into a small smile at the memory of Mark
giving Dave a set-down. If nothing else good ever happened to her
again on this job, she would treasure that memory forever. It was
the first time Mark had ever really paid attention to her.
    Of course, it was probably going to be the
last time too. She knew from office gossip that the runway model
he’d been dating was old news, and he had been without a woman for
over a week now. She fully expected to see a new one on his arm by
the time he came back from lunch today. Sometimes she wondered how
he ever got anything done with all the sex he was obviously having.
Her cheeks heated as they always did when she thought of him
screwing some woman in his office. Did he like for them to kneel on
his desk, doggy-style? Or did he sit back in his chair and let them
ride him?
    Blinking, she shook her head to snap herself
out of it and try and lower the color in her cheeks. It was
inappropriate for her to be thinking about her boss having sex with
other women… even if he did it during office hours. Why should it
matter to her, since she was never going to be one of those women?
It’s not like his sexual performance affected the performance of
the company. Empire Creations’ stock had risen ten percent in the
last week alone. Mark was obviously very good at what he did.
    Her heart beat a little faster as she heard
the sound of Mark’s expensive shoes briskly hitting the tiled
floors. He always walked with a powerful stride and she’d learned
to recognize when he was coming by the sound alone.
Self-consciously, she patted her hair and adjusted her blouse a
fraction, not wanting to look less than her best though she knew he
probably didn’t pay her any attention.
    He came around the corner and she looked up
at him through the fringe of her bangs, admiring his powerful body.
He was six foot two with broad shoulders and a stocky build—he
looked like he’d probably played as a line-backer in college and
had maintained the physique despite being in an office position for
who knew how long. Fully expecting him to give her a polite smile
and walk out the door, she was surprised when he instead made a
beeline for her desk.
    “Good afternoon, Mr. Donaldson.” She gave
him a small smile, hoping to God her cheeks weren’t as hot as they
felt. “What can I do for you?”
    He smiled warmly, placing a palm on her
desk. “I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind coming out to lunch
with me. There are some things I’d like to discuss with you.”
    “Lunch?” There was no helping it—her cheeks
flushed as her heart pumped faster to deal with the sudden rush of
hormones coursing through her body. “My lunch break isn’t for
another hour… Dave usually comes to cover for me at two o’clock…”
Well, that wasn’t particularly true. He usually was a half hour
late at the earliest, but that wasn’t something she was going to
complain to Mark about. Most days she was just happy to have this
job.
    Mark waved his hand. “Don’t worry about it.
I’m sure he’d be happy to move up his schedule. Ah, look, here he
comes now.” He shifted slightly as he turned and Katherine looked
past him to see Dave walking into the lobby, briefcase in hand. She
saw his pale eyes flash briefly before he fixed a polite smile on
his face as Mark waved him
