Branded by the Texas Billionaire
Page 7
The deal with Osaka was very important and she knew business came first with Logan. She understood that. She also knew better than to suddenly become a clingy, needy woman.
He was already dressed for his trip in a dark navy suit with a crisp white dress shirt and a red tie. Obviously not the one they’d used last night. It lay in a wrinkled heap on the nightstand. Maybe she’d take it home as a souvenir of the weekend.
He’d reached for her three times during the night and each time she’d been ready—eager—for him. Even now, just looking at him standing there, she wanted him with a hunger that threatened her weak knees.
“Well, I guess I should go home then.”
He closed his briefcase and moved back behind the desk.
She frowned as he continued to ignore her. “Aren’t you going to kiss me goodbye, Logan?”
He leaned back in the chair, steepling his fingers. A chilly sense of deja vu swept over her.
“Now why would I do that, Miss Trent?”
“Because you–”
“I don’t have time for this nonsense. Jim will take you home. Your lingerie is in the bag by the door. Please take it with you when you leave.”
“No.”
“What did you say?”
“I said no. Something I should have said a lot more frequently during the last two days apparently.”
“Don’t be so childish, Miss Trent, and take the things with you.”
“I’m not childish.”
His brow arched again and Macy wanted nothing more than to find a razor and shave it from his handsome face.
“Be that as it may, no one of my acquaintance could possibly wear them, Miss Trent. Take them when you leave.” He turned his attention back to the papers before him. A frown now marring his brow.
“No.”
He threw his pen down with apparent disgust and rose from his chair. Macy steeled herself not to back away as he approached. Where had the laughing, almost boyish man of the night before gone? This man…this man was…
Sadly she realized this was Logan Quinn. Her boss, the dominant who had used her for his own pleasure.
Not the man who had held her in his arms during the long hours of the night.
“Why are you being so difficult, Miss Trent? We had sex. I had a need and you fulfilled it. Somewhat.” He stopped only inches away, a sardonic smile curving his lips. “Oh, I understand now. You’re concerned about your payment. Don’t worry you’ll be compensated for the entire forty-eight hours.”
Before she could stop herself, her right hand flew upwards catching him unawares. The imprint of her hand stood out vividly against his dark skin.
Immediately, Macy regretted the action. “I’m so sorry, Logan. I never meant…” She raised her hand as if to soothe away the hurt.
He caught her wrist in a bone crushing grip. His eyes were charcoal gray, darker than she’d ever seen them before. “You willingly came to my bed, Miss Trent. I did nothing to you that you didn’t enjoy.” He leaned down until his eyes were even with hers. A brief look of something Macy couldn’t identify flashed across his handsome face.
“Nothing that you didn’t beg for.”
Macy moved her arm and he immediately released her. Turning, he walked back to his desk and picked up his discarded pen. “Jim will drive you home.”
His voice stopped her just as she twisted the door handle.
“And don’t even think about quitting, Miss Trent. I want you at your desk Monday morning.”
When she looked over her shoulder he wasn’t even watching her, engrossed once again in the papers before him. He’d dismissed her just as he had a hundred times before.
Macy took great satisfaction from the fact that she didn’t answer him but simply walked away.
Once outside the office door, she rushed to the bedroom. The skirt and blouse she’d worn Friday were folded neatly on top of the chest of drawers along with the shoes she’d discarded by the door yesterday after visiting the boutique. Dear lord, no wonder the man didn’t want her around any more. All she’d worn this weekend was borrowed t-shirts and tight pants. Or nothing at all.
Leaving would be like tearing off a limb and going on without it. Her eyes closed on a wave of pain so intense that her chest actually hurt. How was she ever going to go to the office every day and work with this man and not touch him intimately?
She’d never be the same but hopefully, with time, the pain would lessen. She’d entered into a business arrangement. The deal was done and she had to remember that.
The office door was opened as she walked past, but he didn’t look up. Her grip tightened on her purse. She looked at the bag with the lingerie sets he’d bought for her. She’d hoped to wear another set of them for him today. His comment had cut to the quick. Yes, she knew no one of his acquaintance could wear the outfits. Barbies wore size zero. Even Madam Treymane was smaller than Macy had ever been.
Jim waited discretely by the front door, holding it open. He didn’t have to. She’d gotten the message. It was time for her leave.
She stepped into the elevator feeling like she was stepping out of dream and into a nightmare. In spite of telling herself sternly that she would not cry until she reached the safety of her apartment, fat tears rolled silently down cheeks.
Jim stood beside her, his face a polite mask. Macy wondered how many times he’d driven distraught women away from Logan Quinn.
