An Office Love Affair (BBW Contemporary Billionaire Romance)
didn’t want a repeat of the day before. After he’d gone home, he realized he couldn’t get his new employee out of his mind. He actually worried she found him unattractive. She didn’t react to him like most women did. If anything, she seemed to care less about his physique.
    Then he went into asshole mode and treated her like shit. He’d be lucky if she even showed. It would serve him right. He already had a plan. If she didn’t come to work, he’d go to her house. If she did, well, he’d buck up and apologize for being a prick. All of the patients commented about how sweet she was and that she was knowledgeable and had a great bedside manner. He needed to keep her.
    The fact that he’d ended up jacking off to her face was a bit off-putting. She wasn’t his usual type. Not that he didn’t find curvy woman attractive—he did—but it was more because of their conflicting personalities. He found himself thinking about her all day, after work, in his sleep, and first thing when he woke up. That wasn’t him. He didn’t think about women. It was why he kept everything separate.
    Tapping his foot, he found himself watching the clock, waiting for her to show up. And after ten minutes, he pushed out of his chair and pulled open his door, wondering if he’d lost her. When he went into the waiting room, he looked out and saw her car. How did he not hear her come in? Instead of staring, he stalked down the hall and then he found her wiping down the counters in one of the rooms.
    “Good morning.”
    She glanced at him and nodded. “’Morning.”
    He braced himself and leaned against the door. “Listen, I don’t really apologize that often, but yesterday I was an ass. I shouldn’t have treated you poorly.”
    She smirked and her eyes lit up, making his heart pound. “You still haven’t.”
    He glared and ran his hand through his hair, something he seemed to do around her. “Fine, I’m sorry. I wasn’t very kind to you yesterday.”
    “Apology accepted. And again I’m sorry. I realize now I must have offended you as well.”
    He raised a brow. “Offend me? How?”
    She shrugged. “By running off and not gaping at you.”
    Before he could stop himself, he asked the question that had bothered him all night. “Well, why didn’t you? Look, I mean?” He felt his cheeks heat and felt like a damned fool. He was thirty-two for fuck’s sake.
    She licked her lips and her attention was back on scrubbing the counter. “I did,” she whispered.
    He stepped into the room and took the two steps to crowd her space. He shouldn’t have. She smelled fresh and amazing. His hand covered hers, stopping her motions. “Oh?”
    She froze and her eyes latched to his hand on hers. He felt her shake before she looked up at him. “Of course I saw. You’re kind of hard to miss.”
    “So you find me attractive then.” Statement. He knew he was good-looking.
    “I didn’t say that.”
    “Ouch.”
    She shrugged and pulled her hand out from his. “You’re a little on the cocky side, Doctor.”
    “I know women like me. I haven’t found one yet who didn’t. And you’re no different. You’re just better at hiding it.”
    He knew he should shut up and stop talking, but instead he kept shoving his foot in deeper. He leaned in and ran his nose along her ear. “I think it only shocked you because you wished you were in there, taking care of me like a woman should.”
    She gasped and her green eyes glared at him. “I suggest you move out of my space right now before you find yourself in need of some medical attention.”
    He was shocked by the venom in her tone and quickly backed away. Yeah, he pushed it too far, but she was so blasé about him. Most women would have swooned and followed him around.
    “Admit it. You find me attractive.”
    She planted her hand on her hip and licked her lips, scanning his body. “Physically, sure. I’d fuck you. But your personality leaves something to be desired. That’s more important than
