Falling for the Boss by Elizabeth Lennox Read Free Book Online

and waiting for the elevator.  Since it was so late at night, n o one else was in the building except Thomas’ team so she didn’t bother to look up when the elevator opened.  She simply walked forward , assuming the elevator would be empty at that time of night .  She was wrong.  She walked right into Thomas.  The next thing she knew, she was being held in strong , incredibly muscular arms, papers floating everywhere as they gently floated to the floor in every direction.  Victoria had trouble un derstanding what had happened as she stared up into Thomas’ dark blue eyes , his arms still wrapped around her waist . 
     
    “My fault,” Thomas said, steadying her.  “I need to slow down.”  He took a step back and looked her in the eyes.  “Are you ok?”
     
    Victoria could only nod, her voice refusing to come while he was still touching her arms. 
     
    Then they both bent down to pick up the errant papers.  Victoria was instantly aware of her skirt sliding up her thighs.  She tried to inconspicuously pull the soft green linen skirt down, but it slipped back up as she reached for the papers farther away. 
     
    She turned around to grab the last paper and realized that the lace at the top of her thigh high stockings was exposed .  “Oh,” she said, and stood up immediately , her face turning red with embarrassment.  She glanced over to look at Thomas, hoping he hadn’t seen her exposed intimate apparel.  The hooded look in his eyes told her he had . 
     
    Thomas just stared at her thigh for another moment, then stood up with her, handing over the papers. “I’ll be more careful,” he snapped and walked quickly away without another word . 
     
    Victoria was confused by his angry tone but took the papers he handed her and watched him walk towards the conference room.  Telling herself that he must be overworked, just like the rest of the team, she pushed his tone aside and continued down to the filing room where she had originally been heading before her embarrassing encounter. 
     
    Thomas entered the conference room a few minutes later and poured himself a glass of ice water, knowing that his body needed something stronger.  He wished he hadn’t seen her sexy lingerie .  For the past three months, he had been able to keep his space from Victoria only by sheer force of will.  She was one of the best accountants he’d ever had on his team and he didn’t want to mess that up because he couldn’t keep his libido in check.
     
    For his peace of mind, h e needed to think of her wearing plain, white cotton underwear and normal panty-hose.  When she’d first started working on the team, she’d worn stiff, navy or black wool suits that hadn’t flattered her figure in any way.  They were serious suits that, although they didn’t detract from her physical beauty, they didn’t enhance her looks in an y way.  And they definitely hid most of her stunning figure from his hungry eyes.  He’d had to really look to know that the severe , navy and black fabric covered up a tiny waist, slim hips and breasts that he knew were not too large but definitely not too small.  From the brief glimpses through the formal silk blouses she’d worn, he knew they’d fit perfectly in the palm of his hands. 
     
    But over the months, she’d acquired almost a whole new wardrobe made of more feminine colors.  She wore suits made out of silk and linen in soft, pretty shades of pink, yellow and mossy green, a green that perfectly matched her beautiful eyes, he remembered. 
     
    He needed her to be unfeminine in some way and her underwear was the most obvious place.  But he now knew what lay underneath those feminine suits and his mind reeled at the idea, wondering what else she was wearing.  Would her bras be as pretty?  Did the lace of her underwear match whatever outfit she was wearing?  He knew the idea would be bothering him now.  And he had no right to find out, which frustrated him.  Her fiancé was
