Chapter 434: It's Tempting

He frowns at me, not hiding his displeasure at my distance.

"Did you really have to pick the one place in this room that I can't reach from my desk?" he asks, the edges of his lips curling down.

"Where would you like me to sit?" I reply.

The look he gives me in response tells me I shouldn't have asked him that. Not here. Not now.

He walks around his desk, turning his back on me, and for a brief moment, I get to enjoy the sight of his arse in his trousers. Licking my lips, I force myself to look away. I only look back when he's seated behind his desk and turning on his computer.

Glancing at me, he gestures to the chair opposite his desk without saying anything.

It's tempting. Just the idea of having him within touching distance. But I'm not completely stupid. I know full well that I'll distract him enough even from all the way across the room.

"I actually want to go home tonight," I tell him, easing my feet out of my shoes and lifting my legs onto the sofa next to me.
