at Amit behind his massive desk. “Would you…like some cake?” she asked nervously.

Ellora stepped closer, taking her hand, as if sharing her bravery with her sister. “It’s not chocolate,” she whispered. “But it has chocolate frosting.”

Amit’s eyes sparkled as he stood up and knelt down in front of them. “Is this the cake I saw you ladies making earlier?”

The girls nodded, hovering a bit closer, but they didn’t say anything.

“I would be thrilled to have some cake,” he told them. “I smelled it when it was baking and I was hoping that we’d have the cake for dessert tonight. But if you’re going to let me try it now,” he grinned, “that means I get a treat before lunch!”

The girls watched, beaming, as Amit tasted the cake. “This is delicious!”

“Okay, let’s go, ladies,” Harper announced, her heart throbbing at the wonderful way Amit dealt with the twins. She took the girls’ hands, guiding them back to the doorway. “We’ll stop by Uncle Gaelen’s office next,” she said.

Then, because she was feeling brave, Harper tossed him a challenging glance over her shoulder. After the look he’d given her in the kitchen, she felt a bit powerful. But she should have known better.

The girls and the servant filed out of Amit’s office, with Harper bringing up the rear. But before she could reach the doorway, a strong arm grabbed her and she was lifted off of her feet and carried back inside. “Harper will be there in a moment,” he called, as he closed his office door.

“What are you doing?” she gasped, clutching at his arm.

He chuckled, and she felt his teeth nip at her ear. “You thought you could get away with that look, didn’t you?”

She laughed, leaning forward in a feeble attempt to get away from him. “Yes,” she replied. “That was my plan anyway.”

“Ah, but you didn’t understand that I have other plans for you,” and he turned her around and lifted her onto his desk. “And you were very naughty this morning. I don’t like waking up alone, my dear.”

She laughed, feeling deliciously brave at the moment. “Ah, but you were asleep. I had things to do and I was bored, waiting for you to recover from…”

Harper didn’t have a chance to finish because his mouth swooped down to cover hers, while his hands moved under her shirt. He took full advantage of her surprise by deepening the kiss. With an eager moan, Harper leaned into him, already unable to even think about pushing him away as her arms lifted up, wrapping around his neck.

“Still bored?” he asked, but before she could respond, he flicked her nipple and she shuddered, her legs tightening around his hips.

“No!” she replied, breathless with desire. After last night, he knew several places along her neck that drove her wild and he used that knowledge. He nibbled along the base of her neck while his fingers tormented her nipples.

The shrill ring of the phone startled them. The sound was almost like a dousing of cold water, except that Harper didn’t want to stop. She wanted him to keep going!

Which was absolutely insane! She was sitting on his desk, his hips between her legs, and it was broad daylight!

He sighed as the phone rang again. Leaning his forehead against hers, she felt his fingers press gently into the softness of her waist. “I have to get that. It’s Rashid informing me that I am late for my next meeting.”

Slowly, they extricated themselves. Harper slowly let her hands slide down his chest. Harper felt her breasts tingling, which meant that her nipples were pressing against the thin material of her shirt. She should have worn a sweater, she thought with frustration.

But as he stepped back, Harper realized that he was in the same situation, only worse. “Looks like your issue is more prominent than mine,” she said, referring to the erection tenting his slacks.

His eyes narrowed and he moved closer. “I will toss you over my shoulder and haul you off to my bed,” he warned. He pretended to grab at her, and Harper squealed in delight as she jumped off his desk and skittered away. She had no illusions that she’d actually gotten away, but the light laughter made her feel better about where they were with regards to their affair. It wasn’t over, she told herself with relief.

“Come to my suite when you’re done with the girls. Five o’clock.”

She smirked as she moved towards the door, her hips swaying seductively. “Oh, I don’t
