She smiled. He was playing her game. And she knew, deep down, that he was right. “You didn’t have to wake me up so early, you know,” she muttered. “It’s not for several more hours and there’s no way in hell I’m showing up early to help out.”“No, of course not!” Carl grinned. “You want to re-establish relations with your family, not resume your role as their slave, Cinderella. How about your chariot driver takes you out for a nice breakfast before we go to the wedding?”Driver? “You’re coming?”He hesitated before answering. “I owe you. Big time. Plus, you need someone in your corner who isn’t scared of your mother.”She smiled. “Thank you, Carl.”He watched her and for a moment, he let down his guard completely, showing all of the desire and happiness in his expression as well as something else that Mandy wouldn’t let herself acknowledge. “I’m not perfect. I’m sorry I’ve disappointed you so many times, but I’m going to be there for you like you were for me.”She blushed and sipped he

The group of people passed and both of them slowly sat up again. Carl didn’t let go of her hand. He stared down at the seat between them, looking more ashamed than she had ever seen him before. “I’m not letting you leave like this,” he whispered. “I need to show you how much you’ve affected me. How much you mean to me.” He raised her hand to his lips and kissed it gently and with all the tenderness in the world. There was nothing confident or smooth about his actions. He looked more vulnerable than Mandy had ever seen him before. He looked completely genuine. She already felt her anger and resolve crumbling and she knew she was already set up for hurt again. Carl turned toward her and leaned down to kiss her gently on the lips. His own lips trembled against hers. He didn’t pull her close or even touch her, giving her complete freedom to turn away or leave. Mandy was rooted to her spot. Frozen. Every molecule of her body wanted to stay where she was, kissing him just like this. She

By the time she finished for the day, Mandy had worked herself into a rage thinking about Carl. Why the hell was he giving her bullshit excuses? Did he think she was too delicate to handle the truth? Screw him! She deserved to have something great and if he couldn’t see she was something amazing for him, he could kiss her arse!She headed into the parking garage and stomped toward her car.Carl was there, about to get into his. He looked up and his eyes widened when he saw her marching toward him.Before he could say anything she slapped him across the face. “You son of a bitch!” She shook her hand from the sting vibrating off it. “How dare you make up a bullshit excuse like that! If you don’t want me, fine! Then say that! Don’t say that I deserve better and you’re not capable of love because we both know that’s not true. You seriously are a fucking asshole, you know that? You’re no better than Stephen.” She turned to walk away and spun around again. “You were right about one thing: y

After they parted company, Mandy managed to hold it together until she got into the elevator in her office building. Then she started to cry. She loved her family. She cried harder than she had in a long time. She didn’t even know that the elevator doors had opened until she felt someone’s strong arms around her, comforting her, rubbing her back and holding her close. She buried her head in the stranger’s chest, just thankful someone was willing to hold her. It felt good, even though she knew she would be embarrassed soon enough.“Tell me what’s wrong,” Carl murmured.Her head shot up in surprise. She stepped back quickly. “Sorry, I didn’t realize—”Carl pressed the emergency stop button. “Tell me what’s wrong so I can make it better. Is it Stephen?”She wiped her eyes. “Nothing’s wrong,” she said. “Everything is perfectly right.”“Then why are you crying?” He handed her a handkerchief from his suit pocket.She accepted it and blew her nose. “My father’s proud of me,” she said, and th

“I know, I know.” He sighed. “I’ve missed you, Mandy. I know I’m not that family oriented and haven’t been the best father, but I really do love you, and I want to try to make things right.” He forced a smile. “Besides, sometimes I think you’re the only sane relation I have.” He grimaced slightly.Mandy smiled. “Thanks, Dad, that really means a lot to me.”“You are a good kid. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” He smiled. “Now, tell me how you’ve been? How’s work? So proud of you with your new job.”“It’s been good. Mr. Salvo’s given me a pay raise. Apparently, I’m doing a great job.” She laughed, loving that she could brag to him and he wouldn’t take it as she was being conceited. She was proud.He raised an eyebrow. “Really?”“Yes, it’s amazing! I took charge of a meeting when he had to call out of work and I was able to get twice the amount of money from the investors than what he asked for. Ever since then I’ve been in charge of some more things and he’s given me a pay raise.”

She looked up at him and saw desire light in his eyes right before he crushed it. She tried to get a hold of her own desire as well. “Yeah,” she said, pushing back away from him. “Just slipped.” She forced her legs to start treading water on their own, even though her left calf threatened to cramp again. “Think I’m just getting cold. I’m going to head in.” She moved to the stairs and climbed out, feeling Carl’s eyes follow her every movement. She grabbed her towel and wrapped it tightly around her. “Thanks for letting me talk.”Carl swallowed and nodded. The desire in his eyes and the way his tongue darted across his upper lip tore through her like fire.She turned and hurried away. While she couldn’t deny the sexual tension, she wished he wouldn’t look at her like that. It made her feel beyond sexy. Something she had never felt empowered with and it made her unable to think about anything except the way it felt when he touched her, slipped inside of her and made her beg him to do it

“Sorry you had to leave your family before you got dessert.” Carl stood in his kitchen, his eyes slightly red as Mandy sat at the counter finishing the report he’d asked her to type up.She shrugged. “I knew there was no way in hell I would get cake with my family watching my thighs. They’re on thi

Thanks to the business of having to catch up from almost a week away, Mandy didn’t have time to consider if she was acting professional or not. Carl Salvo had been swamped while Mandy had been gone. He must have spent most nights in the office as her tablet and business phone had synced to all his

Mandy checked with the front desk and asked to be notified if there was any major change in her dad’s condition. It took everything not to cry as she left and took a cab back to the office so she could collect her car. Finally alone, she let the tears fall.“Only till you get to your apartment. The

Mandy woke up to the shrill ringing of her alarm. She got up in a daze and walked across the room to where she had stashed it in a plastic cup to amplify the sound. After switching it off, she looked around at her boxes to find the one she had marked with an “X” for her work clothes. She found it a
