The Billionaire's Seduction (The Billionaire's Temptation #1) - J. S. Cooper Page 0,7
I pointed at him. “Or I’d have you turned in for sexual harassment.”
“Really?” He looked at me with a curled lip. “Well, that’s a good thing then, isn’t it, Sarah?”
I stared at him for a few seconds and then hurried away from him, ignoring the butterflies in my stomach. He had been right about one thing, older men sure did know how to kiss. My body was still reacting to the sweetness of his lips. I wanted to feel his hands on me again. I wanted to run my hands through his hair, and I wanted his tongue in my mouth. I shook my head to banish my thoughts. The last thing I needed right now was a sexual escapade with an arrogant asshole.
“So, Sarah, what are you doing up here?” Bradley caught up with me and I sighed. He was hot, but he was a distraction I didn’t need. I already had problems I had to deal with.
“I came to get some coffee.”
“Oh?” He looked at me curiously. “Isn’t there a break room downstairs?”
“Yes.” I sighed. “But Lewis, my boss, said I should just come up here.”
“Lewis Walker?” Bradley asked with a slight edge in his voice.
“Yes,” I said surprised. “You know him?”
“You could say that.” Bradley looked at me with a frown. “You work with Lewis?”
“Kinda,” I said evasively, not wanting to give him too much information.
“Are you his secretary?”
“Excuse me?” I turned toward him. “How dare you?”
“Huh?”
“Just because I’m a woman I have to be a secretary?” I snapped, conveniently forgetting that I’d actually applied to be a receptionist, which was actually a lower rank than secretary.
“Whoa there, soldier.” He looked at me warily. “You’ve got a bit of a temper on you, huh?”
“No,” I snapped.
“I guess was wrong.” He paused and looked at his watch. “I think I have to go now.”
“Okay, bye.” I turned around and walked back to the elevator, deciding it was better to forget about the coffee at this juncture.
“Wait.” He walked up to me, grabbed my arms and turned me around before bending down and kissing me again. I felt my head going woozy and it was all I could do to stay upright. I kissed him back like my life depended on it and finally he pulled away from me and shook his head. “Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.”
“Um, okay.” I didn’t know what else to say, as I was breathless.
“Do you want to go out tonight?”
“Go out?” I looked at him in shock. “With you?”
He laughed. “Most women don’t react that way when I ask them out.”
I looked at him and I could see why. He was gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. “Sorry, I don’t make a habit of dating older men.” Though I could be persuaded to date him. Very easily. But I knew it would be a bad idea. I’d had bad luck with the guys I dated before and I didn’t think he was the guy to turn my luck around in the dating department.
“Who said it was a date?”
“Oh.” I didn’t know what to say to that. “Well, what would it be then?”
“Sometimes adults get together just for the hell of it.” He grinned a devilish grin. “But maybe you’re too young to know that.”
I frowned. If there was anything I hated it was being called too young for something. “I get together all the time with men,” I lied. I hadn’t been on a date in months and the last one had gone horribly.
“Good. I was thinking you might be a prude.” His eyes bore into mine as he spoke, and I swallowed hard.
“Are you trying to make this some sort of booty call?” I swallowed hard again, unable to believe that I, Sarah Smith, was being propositioned for a booty call with a handsome older man. This was not happening to me. I knew I should turn him down, but I was very interested in seeing what a booty call with a stud like him would be like.
“Why? What do you kids call it now?” He did his eyebrow-raising thing at me again and I wanted to physically push his brows down with my fingers.
“I’m not a kid and I don’t have…” I paused. I didn’t want him to think I wasn’t worldly. “We can go for a drink, I suppose.”
“Good.” He nodded, his eyes looking pleased as pulled out his phone. “Give me your number.”
“Why?”
“So I can call you later and figure out where we should meet?” He looked at me like I was
