Breach: The Boxset by K. I. Lynn Read Free Book Online Page B

expanded and the load became more than one transactional attorney could handle, Mr. Holloway split it into two, but kept it together. Hence the occupation of such a large room by comparison.
    Vivian was hired to work with Trevor to lighten the burden, making it more manageable. When Trevor’s wife was relocated, I applied in hopes of being relieved of the grunt work of a newbie. Mr. Holloway hired me straight out of college after I’d interned between my second and third year of law school.
    I had no desire for the courtroom. I never had, but I loved the law. When I looked at Nathan, I saw a courtroom personality. He was much smarter than I was. I envisioned him prosecuting criminals or suing large corporations. Not stuck in a room, meeting with clients a few times a week, and looking over legal jargon until his eyes bled. The job wasn’t him. I assumed it was part of his mystery, but I’d never asked, and he wasn’t forthcoming with information about himself.
    “Delilah?”
    I was pulled from whatever contract my eyes had blurred over while I was thinking about him. The man was too distracting for his own good.
    “Yes.” I sighed and eyed my empty coffee mug. I could use a fresh one.
    “Are you okay? You’ve been staring at the same contract for the last fifteen minutes, your hands hovering over the keys.” His lips pulled up into that damn smirk of his, the one that made panties wet on almost every woman he encountered, mine included. His blue eyes sparkled with amusement, and I wondered if he knew I was thinking about him.
    “I just need more coffee.”
    His smirk grew. “Your mind seemed preoccupied, not tired.”
    Damn him.
    “Don’t worry, Thorne, you weren’t starring in my preoccupation.” A lie. A bold-faced one at that. I’d thought of no one but him in weeks. I wanted to know all of him, but was aware he’d never allow that to happen.
    High-pitched giggles drew my eyes to the door as another member of the Boob Squad had arrived. Wasn’t it against the dress code to have your breasts hanging out of your top? I was beginning to think Jennifer hadn’t read that memo, or the one about fraternization. Who was I to talk? Nathan’s cock had been in me more than once, and it was bliss.
    “Nathan, I was hoping you could help me.” Her flirtation was in full force. It was a blinding and gag-worthy performance.
    “I’m going to lunch.” I grabbed my purse and coat, heading out before I vomited. They really were vile.
    There was a small bit of satisfaction in seeing him squirm as I walked out. I’d bailed him out too many times in the past week, he could fend for himself. I hated them interrupting my work, and I was sick of it.
    But not because I was jealous and wanted to scream out that he was mine while I yanked on their hair to drag them off of him. My stomach twisted in a knot as I imagined one of them with their hands all over his cock, their mouths on his hard flesh.
    I wound my way around the cubes of the newbies and interns until I reached an open door. Caroline was finishing up a phone conversation, holding up one finger for me to wait.
    “Ready?” she asked as she hung up the phone. I nodded and waited as she grabbed her purse.
    “Please, I need to get away from them.”
    “Ah… He’s in a better mood, and now they’re all over him again.”
    I sighed, picturing the scene as I left. “I’m not sure you can say Jennifer’s shirt is doing its duty today.”
    “What does he do with all these women trying to climb into his pants?” she asked as we walked to the elevators. With luck, there was one waiting and we hopped on.
    “I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure he isn’t touching any of them.” Because he’s touching me.
    “Why do you say that?”
    I snorted. “You should see the look on his face, I mean the real look. Their tenacity scares him. I’ve had to save him more than once in the past week.”
    Her eyebrow arched up as she regarded me, a smile forming on her lips.
