~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~
He had knocked me out with just one good hit, forcing all the air out of my lungs along with the will to continue fighting.
What was I thinking? Picking a fight with the boss.
Only, I didn't choose to fight him. Angela did. What was she thinking?!
She could never say no to a handsome face. He probably worked his charms on her for one second and she melted.
"Are you okay?" I heard the familiar deep bass of my superior from the door and sat straight immediately.
"Hey, boss," I greeted with false gusto, leaning against the couch, bag of ice still over my cheek in a feeble attempt to will the bruise away.
I flinched when he reached towards my face. Sensing my discomfort, he pulled back and towered over me like a disapproving master. His expression was stony. "Which idiot aimed for your face, Clarice?" he asked.
He spoke my name like how I imagined a Frenchman would whisper promises in his lover's ear. I swallowed the shudder that threatened to crawl up my spine. "You should see what I did to him."
I tried not to look at his face. He was like the sun, too painful to look at for too long. I didn't want to be blinded. "Do you always pick fights you can't win?" he asked, his expression softening.
A laugh made it's way out my throat and I wished I could take it back. I sounded too eager to be amused. Does he know the effect he had on me by just being close to me?
I made the mistake of gazing into his perfect black orbs. His eyes held a look of surprise, like he found himself as attracted to me as I was to him.
And then I blinked and the desire in his eyes vanished like it was never there to begin with.
"I won that fight," I breathed. It was hard to breathe when he looked at me like that.
His hands fell on either side of my face and I leaned back and away from his face. We were close enough that we were breathing in each other's air. It was too much.
I could smell the muskiness of his sweat.
"Bet I could take you in a rematch," I whispered.
What was I doing? He was the best fighter in the ring. I couldn't take him on. I had been deliberately avoiding running into him ever since I found out the big boss enjoyed spending his free time beating people up.
"I would much rather hurt you in a different - more pleasurable - way," he said, his voice low and heavy.
