Chapter Seventeen
My gaze followed his. “The baseball field?”
A smile formed on his face. “Yes. I love the Guardian’s. I have season tickets.”“If you have season tickets, then why bother buying a place where you can see the games?”His eyes fell to the ground, his jaw tensing. The energy in the air thickened between us while he stood there, processing my question. Whatever reason it was, it wasn’t because he hadn’t thought of it. There was more to why he bought this place.He dropped his hands from the railing, one finding his pocket and the other rubbed the back of his neck.“You don’t have to tell me.” The sight of Craft being vulnerable should have brought me joy, but it made me want to comfort him.He met my gaze. “I watched the games with my dad from this rooftop.”“So, you lived here when you were younger?”He grimaced. “Not exactly. We lived on the otheRelated chapters

“Take this off,” I commanded, fisting the fabric in my hands.“I don’t think I can do that, sweetheart,” he teased, holding my hips still.The air in my lungs fought while I scowled down at him. “Excuse me?”His smile was filled with mirth. “We don’t have time to take our clothes off, not this time.”My face scrunched together in frustration. Covering my breasts, I grumbled. “But it’s okay to take off my shirt?”He bit the side of his lip.I snorted, shoving his shoulder, then hopping off of him, covering my chest from his view.“Delayed gratification,” he said evenly, standing from the bench. I bent down to pick up my bra, turning away from him to snap the clasp. I didn’t want him to watch me, especially after he’d denied going further.How did this happen? Earlier in the day, I thought I had him in my control, suddenly the tables had t

His jaw relaxed along with the crinkles of his eyes. “I like to tango.”A soft laughed escaped my mouth. I should have been mad at that comment, but for whatever odd reason, I thought I might erupt with giggles. This whole day had been outrageous.“Besides, I’m sure you have a ton of sexual harassment complaints hidden somewhere,” I muttered, recalling all of the freshly fucked women who have left his office.He furrowed his brows at me. “Why would you say that?”“Because you fuck your interns as much as Hugh Heffner fucks his models.”He clenched his jaw. “That’s quite judgmental of you to say.”I raised a brow at him.He bit his cheek and sighed. “I’m not saying I haven’t, but the numbers aren’t as high as you think they are. Women talk too, you know.”“Not like men,” I muttered.His lip quirked upward on one side. “No

My stomach clenched with betrayal. I thought we were having a decent time. He’d opened up throughout the night, but now, it felt like he was taking it all back. Did he lie to me about everything? Was he only trying to be close to me so I wouldn’t tell HR he seduced me in his office?Anger took over, and I stomped passed Cody and Craft.“Ready?” He asked sincerely.“I’ll catch a cab,” I snarled, heading for the door.“She might have overheard you,” Cody said under his breath.I spun on my heel. “Yeah, I did. Don’t worry, Mackenzie, you won’t get a complaint from me, in fact, you won’t ever have to see me again.”The few guys that were left only watched with wide eyes. Had no one ever stood up to this asshole?Craft didn’t say anything in response. I huffed, more pissed off that he didn’t have a response. Fed up with them, I marched to the elev

She crossed her arms and jutted her chin.“Thanks,” I said uninterested, hiding how terrified I was of the pile of paper sitting on my desk.“I knew you’d get to her. You’re such an asshole, and have no idea when you’ve got something good.”My chest tightened and my jaw tensed. Kelsey was a good thing, and the physical evidence that I threw any chance of having her, even if that was as a kickass employee, right down the drain.“I treated her like every other employee.”Mindy sneered. “Yeah, and for some ungodly reason, Kelsey doesn’t want to write a formal complaint. Who am I supposed to eat lunch with now? Those interns you rotate fucking?” She shook her head in disgust. “I can’t believe you categorized Kelsey into that group.”My eyes narrowed. “You know nothing about my personal life, so I suggest you stop accusing your superior with such foolish acc

“Kelsey!” A muffled voice rumbled along with a pounding on my door.The sound startled me, waking me from my spot on the couch. I’d fallen asleep watching a Nicholas Sparks movie with a tub of ice cream, again.Adjusting my clothing, a super-hot t-shirt from a 5k I ran in college and yoga pants, I sluggishly moved from the couch to the door.Peeking through the hole made me lose my breath. The very reason for the cheesy love stories and unhealthy amounts of sugar was standing there, demanding to see me. My stomach tightened. The pain that twisted my gut wouldn’t go away, and was on full blast now that he was so close. I’d avoided his texts, contemplating how to respond to them.Give it up Craft, I’m not interested.Really? Dinner? So you can beg for me to come back to work? PshhhhhWhy? So you can fuck me in the bathroom?Yes, take me to dinner and kiss me until our lips are numb.Tell me you wan

She’d said my first name with so much indecision and turmoil after she closed the door.I hated my first name. The feminine tone, it had always pissed me off, and the endless teasing growing up was a fraction of what molded my tough skin.The way Kelsey said it was different. It was intimate and warmed my cold heart. I wanted to hear it from her lips every hour of the day, whether she was whining, pissed off, or coming.She was hurting like I was, and deep down I knew I needed to let go. I stood there for minutes, my forehead pressed against the grain of the wood door, trying to think of the right words to say to get her to come back to me. Instead, I dabbed my eyes and left, drinking a whole bottle of Bourbon when I got home. I was too drunk to hit send on the rambling text message that made sense last night, but was complete gibberish on the screen.The pounding in my head throbbed, but didn’t take away from the ache in my chest. I’d nee

My lips parted, and Kelsey glared, silencing me. “I want a coordinating position.” I tilted my head and studied her, not wanting to give away the excitement that was bubbling inside of me. She wanted to work for me, which meant I’d get to see her. Even if she hated my guts, I’d take dirty looks and glares from her every day. I’d be able to make up being a jackass to her. Taking a step closer to me, she continued to talk. “I’ll expect a raise, too.” I straightened in my seat, my expression remaining passive. She’d be worth every penny. “There’s one other thing,” she whispered, the force field she’d thrown between us crackling apart. Our energy was meshing together, the heat rising between us with each step closer she took. Then she completely shocked me. She crouched down before me, sitting upright on her knees and setting her hands on her thighs. I swallowed, clenching the armrests with both my fists. “No more fucking the interns,” she bit.

Kelsey“I’ve missed you,” Craft murmured across my cheek. A heavy breath escaped his nostrils. “The past few months have been…”He sighed into my neck, the fluttering of his eyelashes tickling the lobe of my ear. A soft giggle escaped my kiss-swollen lips from the gentle brush. “Long,” I finished his sentence for him.“Lonely,” he added.I knew what I wanted when I put on the Caribbean blue dress this morning. I’d longed to zip-up the chiffon fabric and run back to Mackenzie Craft the moment he came groveling at my doorstep but wrestling with my conscience to give him my full trust was a constant brawl and would be for a while. He was as cunning as ever but could be downright nasty. I’d never known a man so intelligent and diligent at everything he did, until I met the handsome Mr. Craft.When we’d started our meeting an hour ago, both of my blue heels had been firmly plac
