society well.
    That impressed the hell out of Blue. The
man was solid with a heart of gold and a body of steel. So…unreachable to her!
    Oh, why couldn’t she ever land a good guy?
    “Thank you. I just want to make sure I get
all the work done.”
    “You are very passionate. I admire that you
only proffer kind words. I know some of the older staff members can be quite a
challenge to work with.”
    “I always give people the benefit of the
doubt, Zack. Life’s too short to…”
    Oh, God! That was embarrassing she lost her
train of thought. There she went again.   Why did Zack have that mind-bending effect on her?

    Her eyes kept drawing to his sweet lips.
They looked so irresistible. So…kissable. And his classic
facial features. His perfect nose, his marvellous chiselled
cheekbones and dark, lovely eyes that captivated her. Was this man even
aware of how enchantingly gorgeous he was?
    Stop
it, Blue. Focus on your job. He is so way out of your league. Don’t even go
there, girl. You’ll just be making a damned fool of yourself.
    She remembered seeing clippings online of Zack
with gorgeous Hollywood actresses, socialites and super models. An actress and
super model, Blue was not!
    “What are you thinking, Miss Monroe?”
Zack’s silky, smooth deep voice interrupted her fantasy daydream.
    “Um…” She swallowed hard. He caught her
gaping at him, didn’t he? How embarrassing.
    “Excuse me?” she finally squeezed through
her nerve-tightened throat. She felt the color drain from her face.
    “You seemed to be gazing intently. I want
to know what you were thinking about.” He leaned back in his leather chair
behind his desk. His hair shined as the sun shone through the windowpane behind
him creating a divine halo.
    She thought she could see his luscious lips
curl at the sides slightly. Was he amused by her ogling him? Well, she was not one of his corporate groupies. She was going to keep
herself in check and not give him that smug satisfaction.
    She cleared her throat and drew in a deep
breath, hoping he wouldn’t notice how incredibly inadequate she felt. “I was
just thinking about the angles of the documentary.” Blue shuffled some of her
notes in front of her.
    Zack casually leaned back further and
propped his leg up over his knee. “Go on.”
    “W-well. I think it’s good that we center
on the history of the winery and vineyard and the reason you decided to keep
everything…contained.”
    He nodded thoughtfully. A grin of amusement
curled his lips again. “Was that all you were thinking?”
    “Excuse me?”
    “It seemed to me that you had your mouth
open,” he said, his eyes dropping to her lips, which caused her to
subconsciously lick them.
    This was not working out very well for her.
Blue had never been so hot for a guy like this and he was not making it easy
for her. Was this some sort of test?
    Have
mercy. Please let me not screw this up .
    All she could think of was throwing her
notes on the ground, leaping over his desk, scattering his notes aside as she
did so, and sucking the life out of him with a passionate kiss. She wanted to
feel his firm body with her own hands and enjoy pleasuring him but she had to
get her mind away from that all.
    She clearly must have been working way too
hard. She was having uncontrollable erotic thoughts about this man. It both
thrilled and frightened her at the same time.
    She could feel the sexual power from across
the table. It was too palpable. Blue reached for a glass of water on the side
table and took a long swig.
    “If you’re going to work around me, Miss
Monroe, you’ll need to get used to my…sense of humor. I often put people on the
spot to see how they react. It’s good practice.”
    “No, it isn’t.”
    “What makes you say that?”
    “Because. It’s mind games.”
    “Who’s playing mind games?”
    “Well…” Be
careful what you say, Blue.
    “Miss Monroe, life is stressful as it is.
Work can be even more so. Our motto here at
