Dey Bared to You RuLit Net
I'd chosen a black short-sleeved silk turtleneck sweater
paired with a decently short pleated skirt in lipstick red and heeled Mary Janes. Because Cary
hadn't been around to manage something fancy with my hair, I'd pulled it back in a ponytail. "You
like?"
"I'm hard." His voice was husky, and he adjusted himself in his trousers. "How the hell am I
going to get through the day thinking about you dressed like that?"
"There's always lunch," I suggested, fantasizing about a nooner on Gideon's office couch.
"I have a business lunch today. I'd reschedule, if I hadn't moved it already yesterday."
"You rescheduled an appointment for me? I'm flattered."
He reached over and brushed his fingertips over my cheek, a now-habitual gesture of affection
that was tender and fiercely intimate. I was coming to depend on receiving those touches.
I leaned my cheek into his palm. "Can you carve fifteen minutes out of your day for me?"
"I'll manage it."
