moments he only wished to kiss her and quiet his hunger for her soft lips.
"Great work, it looks amazing." Marie said as she looked over the papers quickly, paying hardly any attention to them.
"Thank you." The woman answered as she smiled and walked away.
Marie turned to head back into her office but she felt a warm breath run through her hair.
"I need you." Nathan whispered.
Their lips were only a few centimeters apart. The air between their head was electric, the chemistry undoubted.
She felt the blood rush through her veins. She felt the warmth spread through her body and climb into her head, she quickly stiffened, scared by the rush she felt from him, she moved away. She turned around and looked at him with her glossy gaze, which wanted to confirm if what she heard was true or if it was something that she only wished she heard.
His answer was one unmistakable smile and uncountable look, from which she felt shivers run down her spine.
When Nathan left her in front of her office, Marie shook her head, almost as if she was coming back from a trance.
"Gorgeous," she heard the secretary say.
"What is?"
"Mr. Greco. He's so handsome and ambitious, definitely husband material." She said as she took a deep breath.
Marie turned around and walked into her office, closing the door behind her. At that moment, she only had one wish, to never again see Nathan again. For every moment that she spent with him, it took every ounce of her willpower to not throw herself willingly into his arms.
Chapter 12
The next few days, Nathan and Marie only met each other in passing.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Greco." She would tell him.
"Good afternoon to the most beautiful woman in Texas." He would answer her back with a smile.
He could hear her getting frustrated as he turned away from her and walked down the hallway. She would kill him for his playful comments, if she could.
He planned to bump into her as soon as he was done going over the company's books. As much as he loved teasing her, he was there to get some work done as well.
That day, the same story continued to play out. At the same time as he was stepping into O'Conner's office, she was stepping out.
"It seems my work day consists of mainly seeing you, it would be nice if it continued that way even after work." He said as he stood in the doorway, blocking her way out.
"What're you implying?" She asked aggressively.
"Nothing really, I just like to remember the time when you'd run away from your home and into my bedroom and under my covers." He said with a smile as he noticed how red her face turned.
He used that opportunity to lean down and give her a quick kiss on the lips.
"Why did you do that for ?" She managed to get out as her heart raced.
Her eyes were wide open. She couldn't believe that he would kiss her and that, even for a moment, she kissed him back and felt the anxiousness build up in her stomach. She couldn't believe that all of that was happening at the door of her father's office, or the fact that he would have the guts to stop her just as she was leaving.
"It helped me bring back some long lost memories." He said as he went in for another kiss.
"Don't you dare!" She threatened him as she pointed her finger towards him. Her lips were red and her eyes
