10 MONTHS LATER
IT HAS BEEN ten months since the accident. I'm now married to Liam and today is my first day as his personal assistant. I shower and ready quickly. After looking in the mirror and feeling satisfied with the pencil skirt and blouse I chose, I headed out the door and hailed a taxi. Liam had left about a half hour ago and said that I needed to be there before him.
When I arrived at Knight Enterprises, it was sixty-thirty. Shit. I hurried through the door and rushed towards the elevator. Unfortunately, I bumped into someone, knocking the files out of their hand. Thank God there wasn't anyone around to witness my embarrassment. Immediately, I crouched to the ground and began picking up the files behind me. "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there. It's my first day and I'm pretty much late so I'm kinda panicky," I said as I gathered the last file in my arm.
"Katherine, get off the fucking floor," said a low voice that I knew by heart. I spun around to see my husband looking down at me. So, out of all the people to bump into on my first day, the universe chose my husband aka the big bad boss. Universe, you have a fucking sick sense of humor. I slowly stood up and handed him the files. He grabbed my upper arm and led me into the elevator.
Great, he was pissed off. Way to go Katherine. We've been married for five months now and he still hasn't stopped blaming me for the accident. "I was actually hoping to get a cup of coffee asshat," I grumbled. In one swift motion he had the files on the floor and me caged in between him and the elevator wall. I gulped as I looked up into his steel grey eyes. There was a storm brewing in those gorgeous eyes of his.
"I'm pretty sure I've made it crystal clear on many occasions that I don't appreciate you calling me such names, baby girl," he sneered. His face was inches from mine, I could smell the coffee on his breath. My pulse was racing due to his proximity. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. I looked up into his steel grey eyes and simply nodded. I couldn't even form words with him this close. He smirked, knowing exactly what he doing to me.
"It's not too late to give in darling," he whispered into my neck causing me to sigh in pleasure. He chuckled, knowing exactly what he was trying to do. I gathered my thoughts and shoved him. I distanced myself as far away as possible. He wanted a baby and insemination wasn't one of his options. He wanted it the old fashioned way and he would tease me and tempt me.
Sometimes, I think he did it just for the fun of it, not because he wanted to get in my pants. I stole a glance at him and saw that he was watching me with amusement. I sighed and shook my head. He had multiple personalities lately. This was the one I liked most. The easy-going, laughing, jokester side of him. The one I hated most was the one who would blame me for the deaths of my mom and sister, the demanding one.
I walked up to him and looked up at him. Even though we've been married for five months, he's never kissed me. I guess it's due to the circumstances and that he doesn't really love me. I reached up and brought his face to mine. I looked into his eyes, searching for some sign that this was okay. He doesn't even react so I turn to walk away. This elevator ride was so damn long.
He pulled me to him and before I could even react his lips locked with mine. I felt like fireworks were lit in me. Every nerve in my body was on fire. My heart rate sped up and the butterflies were in my stomach. His lips were soft and hungry. His one hand snaked up behind my neck, making its way into my hair while the other groped my ass. I moaned into the kiss and like flipping a switch, his personality flipped. He pushed me away and glared down at me.
Great, now he was going to kill me but no, the reason for his switch was the elevator doors opening. Huh. I turned to around to see a hallway leading to his office and my desk right outside with a laptop and files already placed there. Standing there were some people I didn't know. He walked out and whispered in my ear, "We'll finish what we started later tonight, if you still feel the same." His voice was husky and fucking sexy. Christ! What was this man doing to me?!
