Kindle Notes & Highlights
I can almost hear her teeth grinding as she forces those words out. But I don’t call her on it. I don’t tell her that I’m old enough to make my own decisions without her approval. If giving it helps her sleep at night, so be it.
“Apparently some people call me the big bad wolf,” he whispers. “But I kind of like it.”
“Because I hired you.”
“But she is a girl, pining for some spineless dickhead who dumped her and is never coming back. Insecure, stupid little girls don’t attract me, Belinda. You know that.”
Deepest apologies for allowing a grizzly bear to eat your clothing. And your turkey jerky. P.S. They didn’t have pink, but I thought this would look nice on you.
“Don’t be so naïve, Abbi. Trust me. He can smell that virgin pussy from a mile away and he wants it.”
“I don’t want Michael touching you like that again. Or anyone here, for that matter.” Is he even allowed to demand that? “Why not?” “Because, you’re—” He presses his lips together, cutting himself off. “Because they’re not good enough for you.”
“Is there anything else you need, while I’m here?” I ask as calmly as I can manage. I don’t understand what’s happening, but I know what I need at this moment. Him.

“It was not supposed to be like this. You were not supposed to have this kind of impact on me,”
He smirks. “I don’t. But the idea of turning my sweet little assistant filthy is driving me insane.”
“Yes, too much, which is why this happened in the first place. I have a hotel to get off the ground so I had to either fire you or fuck you.” His hand slips behind my neck, rubbing it affectionately. “I didn’t want to fire you.”
“We need to have a discussion about your use of the Lord’s name.”
He grins darkly. “I can’t wait to show you all the things I like to do.”
ass. “I can’t have your naked tits in my face anymore or the outline of my cock will be on the cover of World Hotel.”
He’s giving me a back rub. It’s a very non-boss, non-fuck-buddy, boyfriend-y thing to do. But I push that thought out of my head and moan with appreciation.
But he won’t, trust me. He wanted nothing to do with a seasick woman. He’s in heaven up there.” He adds in a low murmur, “And I’m in heaven down here.”
