I wave a hand towards my office and nod my head. “Why don’t you follow me into the office and we’ll start going over all the things we need to work on to get you back in the game.”
He grins and it’s a rakish, predatory tug of his full lips that makes me take a step back, my heart pounding out of my chest. His eyes flare and he stalks closer and then he steps around me, leaning down to whisper in my ear, “I’d follow you anywhere, beautiful. Say the word and I’ll follow you straight into heaven.” His eyes drift down my body and it feels like he’s stripped me naked right then and there.
I shoot a desperate look at Grey but his wide eyes are fixed on Kade and he doesn’t see.
I open the office door and usher him inside, gulping when I shut the door and he’s still standing there, so close that I’m backed into the door, his big, muscular body towering over me.
“Well, doc, what should we do next?” he purrs and I shiver, my face heating at the seductive tone.
“I think we should get down to business.” I stagger over to the chair where I work and drop into it, stunned into silence when he stands over me.
“I like a woman that doesn’t play games, doc. So let’s get down to business.”
I push myself back in the chair and stutter, “I-I really meant work. I know you want to get back to your position on the team. We’ve got a lot of work to do to make that happen.”
“Or you could just sign this paper right here and we’ll go have a drink and discuss what else you might want from me.”
I lift myself up in the chair, my back straightening. “I would never do that. If you’re going to get back on the team it’s going to be with actual work. I’m not going to let your pretty face distract me from my business, Mr. Brooks.”
He leans down into my space again and I feel that need to run, to back away. Prey. That’s what I see in his heated blue gaze. His hands rest on the arms of the chair and he grins at me. “You think I have a pretty face?”
Ugh! Keep your damn mouth shut, you filthy wench, I growl to the woman inside me who’s dying to jump the sexy athlete.
“Let’s concentrate on business, Mr. Brooks. Keep it professional or I’ll have to refer you to a different therapist.”
He nods and sits down but I see that he’s still thinking sexy thoughts and I cross my legs, gulping when his fiery stare locks on my legs and he shifts in his seat.
“Sure, doc.”
Oh my god!I should just send him to someone else. But I promised my best friend that I’d help this man and get him back as soon as possible. And that’s what I intend to do. Even if it breaks me.
After an hour of torture during which he says next to nothing but his stare stays locked on me.
“Okay. Well. That was less than helpful, Mr. Brooks. You’re going to have to work a lot harder if you want back on the team.”
He stands up and I see him shift, grimacing.
Looking away, I walk him to the door, staying as far away from him as I can.
He stalks closer and presses up against me at the door, his hand resting above my head, holding the door closed.
His lips rest just inches from my ear and I shiver, feeling his breath skate over my skin. A flush builds and it’s so damn hot in this room, I want to douse myself with ice water.
Instead I growl, “Let me open the door, Mr. Brooks.”
“Kade, what’s going on?” Another voice calls from the other room and Kade steps back, letting me open the door, his smirk making me want to smack the hell out of him.
When I open the door I jump back, startled. My head falls back as I see the biggest man I’ve ever seen in my life. His dark hair is perfectly styled and his dark eyes burn with a fire like nothing I’ve ever seen.
“Ah! Now I see.” He smirks and takes my hand. “Nice to meet you, doc. I’m Sebastian. Kade’s best friend.”
I gulp and struggle to keep my breath from stuttering, my tongue from licking my lips at the pair of men in front of me. Dark and light. Dangerously sexy but yet teasingly gentle.
Double trouble if I’ve ever seen it and my panties have just gone up in flames for sure.
I need a drink. And maybe a few minutes alone to get my professionalism back because I’ve never wanted so much to climb a man as I have these two.
What a fucking day!
