woman I’ve seen, except for the Ice Queen.”
Gabriella frowned, not hiding her disappointment. Ruby picked up on it immediately and squeezed her arm.
“Look Sapphire, I saw that damn video. The whole company is whispering about it. The rest of the ‘ladies’ including yours truly thought it was sensational. Damn, girl, Diamond gives you not one but two direct orders and you not only ignored her but you tossed off your com as if she was a nosy mother nagging in your ear.” Ruby laughed her delightful laugh. “Gotta tell you, girlfriend, that was one of the more ballsy moves I’ve seen.”
Sapphire gave an embarrassed chuckle. “Okay, I’ll admit it wasn’t the smartest thing I could have done. But, dammit, I was so close to getting the documents we’ve been after for four months and she was telling me to abandon ship, turn tail and run like a coward.”
Ruby shook her head in appreciation, “Like I said, honey, that was one ballsy move.”
Ruby tugged on her chin as if considering her next statement, then blurted out, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
“But I’ll tell you who did appreciate you telling your boss and her money bags sidekick to fuck off: Jase Malone. Bad boy that he is, he was clearly amused that you ignored their direct orders. He all but told the imperial Diamond Legree that she needed to take the stick out of her ass and appreciate your audacity. It didn’t help that Ian Ross agreed. Both about your willingness to go it alone and that Diamond is one uptight babe. Which, as you might guess, didn’t go over well with our, stick up her ass, boss lady.”Before Sapphire could give into the pride that swelled though her, knowing that at least she’d convinced the men on the team that she could hold her own, Ruby knowingly zeroed in on the reason Sapphire still felt vulnerable.
Ruby cocked her chin and said pertly, “Speaking of bad boys, let me tell you, girlfriend, if you make it through this mission without spreading your legs for that seriously gorgeous hunk, you will be a better woman than I.”
Gabriella gasped unable to hold back her shock at the thought that Jase and Ruby had been together. Oh God, wouldn’t that be the worst? The fact that the guy she’d practically begged to take her had already made the rounds of her agent team? Forcing herself to ask the question she didn’t want to hear the answer to, she stammered, “You…you mean that you…and Jase…”
Ruby let out a peal of laughter and shook her head.
“If you are asking if Jase Malone has ever looked at me the way that I saw him looking at you today? Sadly, sweetheart, my answer is no. To my regret, I haven’t. But Diamond was right to warn you. The guy is a first class player. But he’s also one of the best agents you’ll ever meet. No doubt about it, he is one commanding hottie. He’ll even make you toe the line.”
She gave an exaggerated shiver and chortled salaciously, “But, I gotta believe that following his commands could be one of the most exciting things you do in a lifetime of sex. Just think, you’ll be able to tell the grandkids, ‘I was fucked by the most gorgeous man alive.’” Ruby whistled in appreciation. “Talk about crossing a big one off your bucket list!”
Sapphire was still trying to deal with Ruby’s outrageous remarks when she rounded the corner and saw Jase lounging lazily against her car. Seeing the impish glint lighting his bewitching emerald eyes, Sapphire closed her eyes and admitted to herself with a heartfelt sigh, “Damn, woman, you are sooo screwed.”
Chapter 11
T aking a deep breath, Sapphire bit down on her lower lip. Hard. She didn’t care if it bled. It was the only way she could hope to control the rioting sensations raking her body. Shaking her head in dismay, she admitted that the daunting man draped against the hood of her car, was simply not to be believed.
She’d only allowed herself surreptitious glances at Jase in the meeting, which wasn’t
