dubiously.
    „Of course I can,“ he exploded tightly. „I’m the boss!“
    „Oh, that’s right,“ she said with an air of mocking surprise, „I keep forgetting.“
    For an instant he thought she was serious. Then he saw the mischief in her eyes and he groaned. „I can see why there might be some confusion on the topic,“ he said dryly. „A lot of people are beginning to wonder who’s running things at Flaming Luck. The line of whining petitioners at your office door is several times longer than it is at mine these days.“
    „Only because you’re such an ogre.“
    „Thanks. Well, at least you know you’ve got job security. I wouldn’t dare get rid of you now. The rest of the staff would probably quit on me within five minutes.“
    „Tell me something, Kyle. If I refuse to move in with you, will I still have job security?“
    He froze, anger flaring up once more. He controlled it. „That’s a damned fool question.“
    „I have to know,“ she said simply.

    „What kind of bastard do you think I am?“ he demanded. „We both know you’d quit on the spot if I tried to use your job to coerce you into doing what I want.“
    „So if I refuse, you won’t fire me?“
    „Hell, no. I won’t fire you. But I won’t stop making love to you, either. And one of these nights you’re going to stop worrying about what everyone at the office thinks, and you’ll decide to trust me. You know it and I know it. It’s inevitable. So why not say yes tonight?“
    Her smile was soft and mysterious and edged with promise. „Yes,“ she said quietly.
    Kyle held his breath, wondering if he’d heard right. He’d been preparing a few more arguments, readying whatever ammunition he could find to talk her into doing what he wanted. But the battle appeared to be over. He wouldn’t need to fire another shot. Relief surged through him. She was his.
    „Tomorrow is Saturday,“ he said. „We’ll get you moved in this weekend.“ He wanted to consolidate his victory quickly before Rebecca started chipping away at it. He’d seen her in action before when he’d put his foot down at the office. She would give in very demurely, and then she’d find ways to tunnel underneath the edifice of his Big Decision until she had exactly what she wanted. On more than one occasion Kyle had found himself left with a presidential edict that had been subtly stripped of all its teeth.
    She caught her breath. „This weekend? You’re that sure?“
    „I’m that sure,“ he said evenly.
    „I don’t do windows,“ she warned.
    He laughed, settling back against the pillows. He pulled her over on top of him. „Don’t worry. You’ve got plenty of other talents.“
    She crossed her arms on his chest. Her eyes were full of warmth and laughter. „Such as?“
    He grasped her hips and maneuvered her downward so that she could feel the swelling shaft of his newly aroused manhood. „You’ve got a natural gift for taking care of a rather persistent problem I’ve had lately.“
    „I’m a great believer in utilizing one’s natural talents.“
    She wriggled enticingly and Kyle drew a deep, steadying breath. „Love me, baby,“ he begged suddenly, his fingers twisting in her hair. „Make love to me until I can’t think.“
    She stared down at him for an instant and something flickered in her gaze. It was as if she had reached some inner decision. And then to Kyle’s joyous relief, she was suddenly all over him. Her lips were everywhere, tasting him, teasing him, driving him insane with need. Her hands followed, exploring his body with a sweet boldness that made him suck in his breath. She was soft and warm and exciting. Kyle gave himself up to the glorious thrill of being pleasured by Rebecca.
    She lavished her love on him. Kyle had never experienced anything like it. He was soon drunk on the sensations she created within him and like any drunk, he couldn’t think too clearly about the future.
    Rebecca was his secret treasure, Kyle told
