“Yes. I feel like I’m seven and I’ve fallen off my bike.” A blush steals across her face. Despite the sun kissed tan on her skin, the pinking of her cheeks is hard to miss.
The need to touch her is too damn strong to simply ignore. I take her hand in mine, intertwining our fingers. The electricity runs through me, striking my soul and causing my heart to beat out of control. “I’m so sorry about the accident.”
“You have nothing to be sorry about. You weren’t the fool who jumped into the street because you were running late.”
We stare at each other without saying a word because I’m trying to control the urge to kiss her. A knock on the wall, grabs our attention. “Come in.”
A man in scrubs comes in with a radiology badge on. “Excuse me, but I’m here to take Ms. Flowers down to imaging. She will be back shortly,” he says, telling me I’m not welcome. That’s fine because I need some time to figure out my plans for this week and to claim Violet as mine.
“I’ll be right here waiting for you.”
“Thank you.” I bring her hand to my lips and kiss it before they leave. She blushes and smiles up at me.
A fucked-up thought plays through my mind as I think of ways to make her mine for the rest of our lives.
As I order a host of flowers to be delivered to my suite, I look for somewhere for us to eat. My HR manager sends me an email with the information I requested. I call her back after reading it. “Hello, Tori. Thanks for getting it to me quickly. I’m not in the mood to deal with Jones’s bullshit accusations.”
“No problem. Jones was a con-artist for sure. You’re lucky you got rid of her when you did. Jones isn’t her maiden name. It’s Sullivan as in Brandon Sullivan the tech genius. He’s her father.”
“Are you shitting me?”
“No. I had it pulled and sent to your private email this morning so she couldn’t access it, but I guess you haven’t checked it. When the agency brought her in, all her marks were legitimate, but something bothered me, so I asked our lawyer to dig into her background harder. His spies caught her with Sullivan and after digging into his background her name popped up. They didn’t cover all their tracks.” My lawyer is going to have a field day with that.
“Thank you, Tori. You’re an angel.”
She laughs. “I’ll remind you of that at Christmas time. Do you want me to put in an ad for a new assistant?”
“No. Hold off for at least twenty-four hours. I don’t want a female candidate hired unless she’s sixty or happily married. I know you can’t put it in the ad, but you know damn well that I can pick the one that works for me. Don’t pull an application if they are younger than you.” Tori’s forty years old and happily married to my VP. His assistant is a man. She can deny she had nothing to do with that, but I still don’t buy that lie.
“Is there other qualifications or requirements or the same one as last time.”
“I’m going to be staying in Miami for at least the rest of the week as a vacation, and I’m not sure what I’m going to need.”
“Are you finally ceding some of your power to your VP?” He’s been on my ass about making money hand over fist and I do all the work. I have a delegation issue that I’m suddenly willing to work on.
“I’m not sure. I just need some time off.” My life has been nothing but trying to stay on top that I’d forgotten how to relax. I’m hoping that Violet can show me how.
I can hear her typing away in the background. Once she finishes something, she sighs, “Okay. I’ve drafted an email, cancelled Ms. Jones access to the building and sent out a memo. Security will clear out her desk and bring it down to the door.”
She’s fast and gifted. I suppose years of experience makes it easy. She files everything digitally and some things hard copies for safety reasons. “That’s fantastic. I need to contact my lawyer and make him aware that we might have a problem.”
“We have everything on her file regarding the shower incident at the hotel as well if you’re looking for more ammo. The hotel sent us a bill because the shower head was intentionally broken.”
I’ve known women to try a lot of things to get my attention, but that one is excessive. “Are you serious?”
“Yes. It wasn’t the hotel’s fault, so it’s been added to your billing.”
“Fine. Take care of it and make sure it’s in the report.”
“I will. Have fun.” The evil cheerful goodbye makes me smile. Nothing feels as good as fixing a mistake before it becomes too costly.
“Thanks.” I end the call and check my emails. For ten minutes, I work on anything I can, so I have more time for Violet. Pacing the small closed off space, I get bored and nosy. Spying her clothes that she tried to hide, I bring them up to my nose like a sick fuck that I am. Fuck, my dick throbs against the zipper of my expertly tailored slacks, nearly busting through the seams.
It’s fucking freezing in the hospital, but I can’t tell because my body is so heated with lust for my little Violet. I brush them up against my nose one more time before I feel the tag. I decide to send Tori another message.
She comes back after another twenty minutes. I’m annoyed it took so long, but at least my girl is back.
“So are you ready to bust out of this joint?” She arches her brow and tips her head toward the exit.
“As soon as your test results come up good.” I tap my finger on her nose. She narrows her beautiful eyes at me and then walks away to her pile of clothes. Suddenly she’s putting her panties and shorts on.
“Isn’t that a bit premature?” I growl, turning around so she can’t see my cock throbbing. Quickly I adjust it, feeling the wet spot where my cum leaked through my clothes.
“Nope.” A minute later she says, “You can turn around.”
“You’re so beautiful, Violet.” I close the distance between us, aching to show her what she’s done to me and doesn’t even know it. I closed myself off from finding passion because I believed money and work would be my only desires. Reaching out, I run my hand along her cheek. She shivers, tilting her head into my palm.
“Micah,” she whispers. A growl rips through my chest, hearing my name coming from her soft, pale-pink lips. I lean in to kiss her, but the curtain pulls open, stealing our moment as Violet jumps back as if we’ve been caught doing something wrong.
Nothing could be wrong about kissing her and I’ll prove it to her. I drag her into my arms, cup her head, and crush my mouth down on hers. She moans before clinging to my shirt.
After a few seconds, a cough comes from behind us, pointing out that they’re still waiting. We only break apart because I want her out of here and in my bed as soon as possible.
“So far all the tests have come back clean. I’m waiting for the rest of them then you’ll be able to be on your way unless there’s something amiss. Remember what I said about the porn set.”
“I’ll keep my hands to myself for now,” I grunt.
We stare at each other and then my phone rings again. “Excuse me.” I put my finger up and answer for Winston. “What’s going on?”
“I’m on my way back to the hospital. Are you still there? “Yes, but we should be done shortly.”
