wanted, but he’d damn well better not do it with her.
“Embarrass you?” he snapped back. “You were on your way out!” and he didn’t like the fact that the three men had been were staring at her again. “The men tonight and even the ones last night were ogling you. I don’t like it.”
She gasped. “Tom is a nice gentleman. He wouldn’t do that!”
Davis couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Are you serious?”
She rolled her eyes. “Davis, just because you…”
“Don’t you dare say that I watch you. I’ve kept my distance from you all day simply so that you could get work done.”
She opened her mouth to say something, then closed it. She wasn’t really sure what to say, actually. He was being silly about men watching her. She simply wasn’t the kind of woman a man would take a second look at.
Five minutes later, they were standing in front of the hotel. He spun around and growled into her ear, “Why were you in that bar?”
She thought about not answering, but it had been such a long day and she hadn’t slept well the previous night. By this point, she was just too tired to fight him any longer. “I was having dinner with some friends,” she said, her fingers resting on his chest because he was once more gripping her upper arms. She didn’t have any other place to put her hands. It wasn’t like she really minded touching him. It was more that she enjoyed it too much. She wanted to run her hands along his chest, to feel the muscles underneath the material of his shirt. When her mind realized what she was thinking, what her hands were starting to do, she curled her hands into fists. Glaring up at him she tried to pull out of his arms but he held her steady.
“What is your friend’s name? The man who was touching you?” He demanded.
Her eyes stared at his massive chest, her mind going in one direction while her body wanted to go in a completely different direction. “Why do you care?”
Davis struggled to answer that question. He wasn’t exactly sure why he wanted to know, he just knew that it was imperative that she understand that she was his. She was fighting this attraction between them that was becoming a living force that neither of them could deny. And he didn’t understand why she was doing it.
“Why didn’t you wait for me?”
She opened her mouth again. “Wait for you? Why would I do that?”
“I texted you several times, letting you know that I was late but would take you out to dinner as soon as I arrived.”
Kate was shocked. “Another dinner like last night? Where you try and figure out…”
He waited, hoping she would finish her sentence. “Yes, where I try and understand you.”
She shook her head. “Davis, this just doesn’t make sense. You’re my client. My father would…” she stopped before she finished that statement.
“Your father would fire you if he found out that you were sleeping with the client?”
She tried to pull her arms out of his grip but he was holding her firmly. “You weren’t our client when I slept with you.”
He pulled her closer, bending low so there was no confusion. “We barely slept, if my memory is correct.”
She opened her mouth to reply, but she couldn’t figure out what to say. He was right. They’d been ravenous for each other. Which was such a shock to her since she’d never felt that way about any man before.
“Come with me,” he commanded at her continued silence. He took her hand, not giving her a chance to argue with him. The lobby of their hotel was busy, with people moving about, trying to get their business accomplished in the most efficient manner. As Davis pulled her through the lobby, people seemed to give way. They saw him coming, saw the determined look on his face, noticed his enormous size and just stepped to the side.
He dragged her into the elevator and pressed the button to their floor. This was one of those moments when she should’ve demanded her own room instead of staying in the same suite with him. There might be ample room for both of them, but the intimacy was not lost on her.
“I should’ve obtained my own room,” she grumbled as the elevator doors closed on just the two of them.
He moved over her, pinning her in place with his angry glare. “Do you really think that would’ve
