passion and the desire that radiated from her was unlike anything he had ever experienced.
The only thing he could think to do was to try to pull himself back.
If he could only put a little bit of distance between them, maybe the feelings he was having would have time to simmer down into something less overwhelmingly uncharacteristic of him.
'There would be nothing inherently wrong with falling for her,' he told himself as he lay naked in his own bed. 'I just have to make sure it's real before I rush into anything.'
Nathan sighed and resigned himself to a sleepless night full of visions of her and the battle between his heart and his head.
All of the feelings came so suddenly and in such an enamored fury that Nathan wasn't sure what to do with everything he was feeling.
Certainly he couldn't just tell her that he had fallen for her.
After the first revelation of feelings and the first time they had sex it would drastically cheapen the sentiment.
He didn't want to come off as clingy to her and certainly didn't want her to feel like she had an obligation to stay just because of his position.
The thought of that made him feel dirty.
Being her boss didn't mean he would get to have his way with her.
As much as he liked power and control, he wouldn't use either to get sex from someone who didn't want to participate.
'But damn did she ever participate well.'
He grinned a little in the dark thinking of the way her body moved and reacted under his touch.
The way her hips arched to him and she begged for him, even the thought of it now was turning him on.
He could almost hear her voice next to him in the darkness as though she were still there.
Part of him wished she was.
"Why do you always have to make things so damned difficult, Nathan Maxwell?" he groaned at himself.
He had a feeling he was completely overthinking the entire thing, but he couldn't seem to stop the train once it had left the station, and his mind wouldn't slow down or ease up on all of the thoughts that were keeping him wide awake.
With everything he had to take care of the next morning he knew he should be getting at least a few hours of sleep to remain a functional member of human society but that seemed unlikely at best.
He suddenly remembered that Hannah would be back in the morning.
She was going to need to come here to get the keys to the penthouse so she could transfer over there.
Nathan wasn't entirely sure he wanted to see her so soon after tonight, but at the same time he wished he had never made himself get out of the bed next to her.
At least if she was at the penthouse he wouldn't see her all the time.
Though at this point Nathan couldn't decide if he was more heartbroken or encouraged by that fact.
She made him feel everything more intensely and his emotions were all contradicting each other.
Everything was getting complicated in a hurry.
He would just have to wait until the morning to find where his true feelings were leading him.
When he saw her, he instinctively knew that everything would become crystal clear.
Or at least he hoped it would for both of their sakes.
Chapter Thirteen
The next morning Hannah woke up and got ready for work. Nathan had instructed her to arrive at midday at the penthouse.
She was actually looking forward to going in today rather than dreading it.
The fear of losing her job due to her inane clumsiness and inability to think straight whenever her boss was around had now diminished or vanished altogether.
Her body was just a little bit sore from yesterday.
She had never cum so many times in all her life as she had last night at his hands.
The minor tenderness was like a delicious little secret only she knew about, and it made her think of him as she got up and showered to head to his house.
Prior to her encounter last night she would had relished the opportunity to be employed by him at her same wages without
