said, taking her hand and holding it in his.
Mia’s eyebrows rose, but she acquiesced, and watched him press the button for the elevator. Her silence made him acutely aware of his blunder earlier. He led her down the hallway toward the boardroom. He turned on the lights and indicated for her to sit down. He watched her sit on a leather chair while he continued to stand.
“I know that I’ve been giving you the cold shoulder lately,” Eric said, hesitating briefly. “Work hasn’t exactly been going smoothly, as you’ve seen.”
“I know, Eric,” Mia said with a sigh, “but your unpredictable behavior confuses me.”
“I confuse myself,” Eric mumbled.
Mia raised her eyebrows at him.
“I find you utterly desirable, and I’ve never been more attracted to a woman as I am to you,” he admitted reluctantly.
It was true. Mia had captured him from the beginning with her adorable personality, lovely face, and sexy figure. He had also discovered that she was hard-working and willing to take on any task he gave her.
“Well, if that’s true,” Mia said slowly, “then why are you so reluctant to acknowledge what’s happening between us?”
“I don’t want us to begin a relationship while we’re still working together so closely,” he replied. “Things can get complicated.”
“They are already complicated,” she said, frowning. “Won’t we still be working together when we return to Edmonton?”
“Yes, but you won’t be my assistant there.”
Mia shook her head at him. “Your logic makes no sense, Eric,” she said in a frustrated voice. “You would still be my boss.”
“No, Ben is your boss back in Edmonton.”
Mia stared at him for a few seconds before comprehension dawned. “Don’t tell me this is all about your own personal by-the-book rules. We both know there’s no set company policy against co-workers dating one another or of bosses dating their assistants.”
“There’s no specific rule or policy per se,” Eric said, looking away from her for a moment.
“So you broke your own personal rule not to date assistants because of me?”
“Mia, I didn’t break any rule, but I think that you and I should take it slow,” Eric said, wishing that he had not allowed his eyes to drift down to her tight black tank top. The tops of her breasts were distracting him, and all he wanted to do was pull down her top and kiss the tempting mounds.
“You’re the one who kissed me, dragged me into the bushes and pulled my bikini off,” she said. “I don’t think that’s taking it slow.”
Mia slowly crossed her legs, and he watched her short blue mini skirt ride up her thighs, exposing much of her long, silky legs. He nearly groaned out loud at her provocative gesture.
“I want you, Eric,” she said huskily, “and I’m not afraid to admit it.”
“Mia, we shouldn’t do this,” he warned.
“Do what?” she asked in a daring voice.
“This,” Eric said, swooping down to take her by her arms and wrap her close. Her soft body and smooth curves made him groan out loud.
“It’s about time,” she said, lifting her mouth up to his. He stared down at her tempting, lush lips and knew he was lost.
Eric kissed her with a ferocity that caused her to shudder. She wrapped her arms around his middle and hung on tight as he swept her up closer to his hard body.

Finally , Mia thought as she kissed him back with equal ferocity. She had been craving his kiss and his body since their passionate encounter at the waterfall. She wanted to tear off his T-shirt and jeans and have her way with him. He switched their positions, and she found herself lying flat on her back on the boardroom table.
“I need you, Mia,” he said as he pulled her mini skirt down, revealing a lacy, black thong.
“I’m yours,” she said, watching him tug her thong down with his teeth.
She gasped as he buried his head between her legs, eagerly kissing and licking her mound. She accommodated his hunger by
