"Mhm. You have something right there." He pointed to the side of my mouth.

I wiped the side of my lip.

"Other side." He leaned forward and slid his thumb along the corner of my mouth, staring into my eyes.

Fuck. Why is that so hot?

I quickly stood up. "Well, I should probably get back to work." I grabbed the rest of my salad and tossed it in the trash, leaning over to make sure he got a good look at my ass.

"You're playing dirty."

I turned around to look at him. "So are you."

He flashed me one of his smiles that always made my knees weak. "Are you still meeting up with Melissa and Tyler tonight?"

Just thinking about it made my stomach churn. "Yeah. I figure the three of us need to talk. I don't want to put it off."

He nodded. "I'll just meet you back home later then. I'm cutting out early today. I have a few errands to run." He stood up, grabbed my waist, and pulled me in close, planting a passionate kiss against my lips.

If I thought my knees were weak before, I didn't even know how to describe this feeling. He squeezed my ass, pressing his body even more firmly against mine. When he pulled back, I was completely breathless.

"I'm totally going to win," he whispered in my ear and released me.

I knew I hadn't wanted it to be a game, but now I was determined to win. "I have a few tricks up my sleeves too."

"Bring it on, baby." He sat back down at his desk chair and turned on his monitor.

I closed the door behind me. I needed to think of something super sexy to do. I was so preoccupied while I walked back to my desk that I'm pretty sure Sierra had called my name a few times before grabbing my elbow.

"Were you just having lunch with James Hunter?" Sierra squealed.

"Umm..."

"I just saw you come out of his office."

We had reached our desks.

"What are you so excited about?" Zach asked Sierra.

"Penny's secret rendezvous with James Hunter during lunch."

"Is that why you keep ditching us for lunch?" Tavon asked. "You're eating with the boss instead? I feel slighted."

"Well, yes and no." Now was as good a time as any. Especially since I had gotten caught red handed. "I..."

"Wait!" Tavon said cutting me off. "Let us all guess what you were doing."

I sat down. "I'm just going to tell you."

"No, this is more fun. Zach, you guess first."

He shook his head. "She was probably complaining about a super annoying new coworker."

Tavon laughed. "I'm sure she was complaining about you. What is your guess, Sierra?"

Sierra stared at me for a second. "Working her way to the top?" She giggled at the thought.

I could feel my face turning red.
