Chapter 32

• Chris watched her leave and then opened the door and went into his library. He sat down and picked up a folder. Looking down at it, he tossed it back on the desk. She hadn’t even been here a day and he’d almost attacked her. How was he going to do this every day? He leaned back in his chair and let out a long, slow breath. If he used anything other than normal means to persuade her, he might as well open the door and tell her to get out. He cursed and closed his eyes. If she didn’t hurry up and catch up with him, want him the way he wanted her, he was going to go insane.
• He got up and paced to look out the window. How long would it take her in the bath? There was no way he could go up the stairs and think of her behind the door lying naked in the tub. Groaning, he shook his head to clear that image.
• Even while he was still trying to forget it, he found himself heading for the stairs. He’d lock himself in his own room if he had to. He reached his room and went in quickly. The bathroom door was still closed. He stripped off his shirt and tried to ease some of the tension from his body.
