Her footsteps faltered at the sight of Zach.He leaned against the side of his car without a care in the world.Black designer slacks caressed his lean hips and his dress shirt and dark lightweight jacket emphasized his mouth-watering torso and broad shoulders.
The casual kerchief tucked into his breast pocket gave him a debonair air that was so jaw-droppingly powerful, a full body shudder raked her.
He really had no right to be so insanely gorgeous.His rugged good looks were attracting every single passing female’s glance, and a few of the men’s.Jealousy tore through Bethany as she noticed one particularly brazen female actually stop, stare, and give Zach a come-fuck-me-hard smile that made Bethany want rip her face off.
“Are you going to stand there all night, slaying passersby with your eyes?”he drawled.
She was in no mood for his mockery.“You should’ve stayed in the car.Then I wouldn’t have to deal with your female appreciation sidewalk traffic jam.”
He straightened and held the door open for her.She found it infinitesimally gratifying that his gaze never once strayed from its intense focus on her.“Your grouchiness is cute.Step into my cave and I’ll see if I can make it better.”
A reluctant smile twitched her mouth.
She slid in, and he followed quickly.He slammed and locked the doors.The glance he sliced her held a touch of anxiety, as if he was afraid she’d bolt.It was certainly something she’d considered when she’d stepped out of the building and seen him again.
His ability to capture and hold her attention to the exclusion of all else had always bothered her.Being with Zach was like holding a live electric wire.It was only a matter of time before she experienced another profound shock.
Right now though, with the soft seats beneath her and the cool air-conditioning of the plush car washing over her, her exhausted body didn’t want to move.
She slid her shoes off as the car slid into traffic.
Zach’s gaze fell to her exposed feet and back to her eyes.Before she could guess what he intended, he lifted one foot onto his lap and pressed his thumbs deep into her throbbing muscles.Memories of her Shanghai foot massage washed over her, and she barely managed to smother a moan.
“Feel good?”
“You know it does,” she accused darkly.
His smile held a trace of satisfaction and that healthy dose of anxiety.He continued to massage her soles, his fingers moving expertly over her tight, stretched muscles.
Bethany eased back into the seat.When she sighed, he looked over at her.
“Everything okay at work?”
She eyed him.“Sure.Why do you ask?”
“You looked slightly bemused as you stepped out.”
“Oh, that.Yeah, Gary, my other boss who has barely said a word to me since I started working there, actually engaged in conversation with me tonight.And he actually said something nice.And Sheena was acting weird too.”She shrugged.
Zach’s hands stilled for a moment then resumed the massage.“Did they say anything in particular?”
She relaxed deeper into the soft leather seat and sighed as the air-conditioning cooled her skin.“Not really.It was just weird, is all.”She laughed.“Maybe they missed me.The amount of work waiting for me certainly indicates so.”
“Don’t sound so surprised.You’re a valuable asset to any company, I’m sure.”
“Hmm, a foot massage and compliments.Anyone would think you wanted something, Savage.”
His answering smile looked a little strained.He shifted in his seat.Her foot settled deeper in his lap and she understood why.
Zach was hard.And hot and straining his pants.The car swayed into a turn and her heel grazed his length.He hissed out a breath.
Molten grey eyes connected with hers.Slowly, his hand slid from her sole to her ankle, caressing up her leg.
“Zach.”Her protest was feeble enough to be completely useless.
“I want to make you feel good, baby.Let me.”His hand slid higher, cupped her calf and massaged her bare skin.
Heat scythed through her.Her pussy clenched hard, her need so acute it became a pain lodged between her legs.He reached the sensitive area at the back of her knees then pressed his fingers deep.
