I watch as he closes his eyes and sucks in a heavy breath. I try to ignore the tent in his pants. My eyes roam up his covered abs, his broad chest. His thick neck, those kissable lips and finally I meet his now open eyes.
They darken as he stares me down, locking his gaze with mine. This is why I ignored his call. When we're around each other, something just takes over. The pull is too strong.
Kara gave me the heads up about Liam's idea. How am I supposed to organise a whole event with him. Working with him, day in, day out.
“Would you like something to drink?” I ask, trying to get things back on track.
He sighs, “No, thank you. Let's just get this over with.”
I frown, “No one is forcing you to be here, so drop the attitude.” I snap at him as I sit on the couch.
He clenches his jaw, his eyes heating up even further. I'm not sure if it's desire or anger I see. He sighs and takes a seat.
“Listen, I'm as happy about this as you are. Whatever I did to make you hate me, this isn't about us. Let's just get through this. Okay?”
“I don't hate you.” I mumble.
He looks sceptical. “You could've fooled me. Atleast we attempted to be friendly before, but now….”
I bite my lip nervously. “Us being friendly usually turns into flirting.”
He gets up and paces around the room in frustration before he stops. He looks at me and laughs humorlessly.
“And what's wrong with that. We're both two single adults. Why are you trying so hard to fight this? And don't pretend that it's one sided, I know you feel it too.”
I roll my eyes. “We both know this is the smart move. Imagine if we would've slept together then ended up being neighbours. Or what if Liam and Kara get married? We would be stuck in each other's lives permanently.”
He takes determined steps towards me until he's standing right infront of me. He leans foward, his hands on the couch behind me, caging me in. With his face right in front of mine, his warm breath on my skin, he growls, “Careful, Leslie. I'm not a gentleman.”
I almost whimper at his threat. Why did that sound so hot? Every part of my body is alive with want and need. I'm tempted to roll my eyes again just to see what he'll do.
I dart my tongue to lick my dry lips and his dark eyes fall, following the movement. A manly groan emits from his chest, his eyes close, his jaw clenches tight as if he's fighting himself.
He pushes himself off me and walks to the other side of the room. Putting distance between us. That's when I realise I've been holding my breath. This is not going to work.
“Come to our offices tomorrow after lunch. The three of us will go through some ideas for the fund raiser.” he says before walking out.

The next afternoon I walk into HADC building determined to be professional.
I'm ashamed to say that after Jake left my place last night, I had two very strong orgasms with my vibrator and it was no where near enough to quench my need for him.
Today I plan to focus on the bottom line. No more heated looks. Just get in, do my job and get out.
I'm dressed in a black slim-fitting skirt with a straight narrow cut, the hem falls to my knees. I paired it with a loose green blouse with just a little cleavage and black heels. My hair is tied up in a ponytail.
'See, professional.'
I press the top floor button on the elevator and continue giving myself a pep talk. The elevator door opens and I walk to the desk in the middle of the room with the black woman with grey hair seated in it.
“Hello, my name is Leslie DuPont. I have a 2pm meeting with Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hayes.”
She smiles at me. “Yes, they've been expecting you. Just go to the end of the hallway and you'll find them in the conference room.”
I nod and walk towards the direction she instructed me. I knock before I push the door open.
“Leslie, good to see you again.” Liam says as I walk in.
I smile at him. “Hey Liam,”
I turn to where Jake is sitting busy with his phone. “Afternoon Jake,” He puts his phone away and nods at me.
'See, we're both acting professional today.'
“Okay then, let's get started.” I say.

By the end of the meeting we've decided what the charity event would be about and an estimate of the budget. The date will be set for six months from now. Which gives me enough time to prepare.
Halfway through the meeting, Liam stepped out. Jake and I had to continue with out him. It was awkward at first, but soon we got sucked into the planning.
I can see how passionate he is about the cause. The way he engages with me, throwing ideas at me. It's not what I expected.
The few times I've seen him interact with people, he's always joking around and making light of any situation. Not exactly in a bad way. He just seemed to always be the life of the party. Seeing this side of him is very interesting.
“I think we covered everything. If I have any questions I'll let you know.” I say as I get up to leave.
“Sounds good. Great job by the way. I'm sure we have the right person for the job.” he says to me as he also stands up.
I smile up at him, “Thank you,” I stretch my hand out to shake his. It was instinctive, it's how I usually end a meeting. Before I can think better of it, he takes my hand in his large one and shakes it.
I feel a spark when we touch. We both stare into each others eyes not saying anything. I want to look away but his hazel eyes, just like his hand, hold me hostage.
He moves his lips to say something just as the door opens. He lets go of my hand and steps back.
“You guys finished in here?” Liam asks watching us with suspicion.
I clear my throat. “Yes, I was just leaving. Again thank you both for this opportunity.” I mumble as I run out the room like my ass is on fire.
