But as the youngest member of C&M Advertising firm, it's my job to get to know our most important client. To get to know exactly what he wants from us... and how I can provide it. I can resist his charms, his stares, and his flirts. I know his reputation. I won't be another notch on his bedpost. But the longer I spend around him, the more he seems determined to take me. Use me. Consume me. And the more I find out about him, the more I want him too... An excerpt: Vaughn reached, his fingers wrapping around mine. His skin was soft and warm against mine. That warmth made me swallow. I didn’t pull back. We looked out the window a little while longer before his eyes turned to me. They weren’t as clear as I’d first thought. No, there was a storm in them. A storm that threatened to consume him and then me. My mouth went dry. My lips parted slightly. He still didn’t let go of my hand. “Quinn,” he said. “Yes?” “I want you. And I know you want me, too.” “Do you?” I replied. That heat from his hand started spreading through me. I tried telling myself that I did want him, but only on a physical level. Who wouldn’t? But part of being an adult was knowing when to ignore what you wanted. I could tell myself whatever I wanted and it didn’t have any effect. This close, he was magnetic. Little electric tingles kept running across the surface of my skin, awakening all my senses. It was like my body wanted to feel every sensation it could, and to the fullest extent. The past and the future closed off, leaving only the present. The world shrank until only Ward and I occupied it. I wanted to pull my hand out of his, but I didn’t. I didn’t want him to kiss me again, but I did. I wanted that and more. I wanted all of it; I wanted all of him. I took a deep breath, but it didn’t steady me at all. “I do. You know, since we met I don’t think more than a few minutes have gone by without you in my thoughts,” he said. We still didn’t look at each other. We both seemed to know that if we let our eyes meet we wouldn’t be able to stop what happened after. I could look at his reflection safely, though, and I did. “It’s only been a few days,” I said, “You hardly know me. How can you think you want me so much?” “Some things you just know right away,” he replied. His reflected face grinned. “We shouldn’t,” I said, wondering if I was trying to convince him or myself. Maybe both. “Will you try and stop me?” Ward asked, his eyes regarding my reflection. I didn’t reply, because I didn’t know the answer... An additional excerpt from Vaughn's POV is included in the "Look Inside".
