Chapter 62

“I actually planned to talk about how much I’ve missed you the past few days, and how soon we can get naked again, but…” Jesse shrugged. “We can talk about how much your coworkers suck. Do you know there’s a young blonde thing pacing outside your door, waiting for you to venture out of your office?”

Emma grimaced. “Yes. Her name is Bev. She makes me want to hit her.”

“She doesn’t look too big. If you ever decide to take her on, I’ve got your back.”

“Good. I hear she’s a hair-puller.” She pretended to be serious. “You have less than I do.”

Jesse ran his hand through his hair. “There’s still enough to get a good grip on.”

Unable to resist, Emma leaned forward again and let her hand follow the same path, ending with the small curls that were forming at the back of his neck. “I like it this length,” she said softly. “I think it’s sexy.”
