“Sit and wait like a good little girl.”

“Excuse me?”

“I’m not?—”

“You’re not what? You’re not my assistant?”

“I'm your assistant, but I'm not your good little girl.”

“Would you rather me call you a bad little girl?”

“I’m not a little girl at all.”

“I know, you’re all woman,” I said, smirking. “Trust me, I haven’t missed that fact.” I stare at her cleavage and lick my lips. “If I were being 100 hundred percent honest with you, I'd like to pop a couple of those buttons off and reach in and pull those big titties out of that bra, and—” She gasps, and I smile and step back and head toward my seat. “You’re not the only one who can tease and taunt. Remember, you might be Catwoman, but I'm a wolf, and the wolf always wins.”

Chapter Seven

Elisabetta

I feel slightly annoyed as I sit at the desk, waiting for Liam to bring me a laptop, but not only do I feel slightly annoyed, I also feel horny as hell, which is not a great feeling on your first day of work. I sneak a furtive look back at Liam, but he’s not paying any attention to me. He's typing something on his phone, and I can tell it must be something serious based on the frown on his face. I turn back and look down the hallway. I'm bored as hell. I don't know what I'm doing here. I don’t know what I thought I had to prove, but I have a feeling I made a mistake. I whip out my phone and go to text Skye when I realize I have missed a call from her, so I call her back.

“Hey, my lovely,” I say as she answers the phone, grateful to hear her voice.

“Hey, what’s going on?”

“I’m just sitting here doing nothing, working for the devil himself.”

“Oh, no. Has he been mean to you already?”

“Let’s say that he hasn’t been mean so much as he’s been a tease.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I mean, he’s trying to tease me into submission.”

“Into submission?”

“Yeah, he wants me, and I want him, and we’re going to play a game of cat and mouse until one of us gives in.”

“Um, what are you talking about?”

“I'm saying that there is a sexual tension between us that is going to explode, yet neither one of us wants to be the one to go for it first.”

“Elisabetta, are you okay? Are we in the same universe right now?”

“Yes,” I say giggling. “Why do you say that?”

“Because you’re talking about getting down and dirty with Liam, and I'm just asking you how your first day of work is. I’m telling you that you’ve only been there for an hour. What do you mean you’re trying to get down and dirty?”

“He and I have both made it obviously clear that we’re sexually attracted to each other.”

“On your first day, in the very first hour that you’ve been working there?”

“Girl, no. This is something we’ve known. I mean, we’ve had a couple of calls, and?—”

“Oh, yeah, I forgot about the call you had. I just am kind of taken aback by everything. Is that why you took the job?”

“What? What do you mean?”
