âShall we start the interview?â
It was impossible to stand there and pretend only to view him as a prospective boss when sheâd seen him naked.
âYes, right. The interview.â
Inwardly cringing at her awkward response, she dropped her hands to her sides, flexed her fingers, shook them out, mustered her best stage face.
âWhat do you want to know? My typing speed? PC skills? Microsoft literate? Multi-tasker?â
Heck, she was babbling, sounding more moronic by the second, while his expression remained impassive, his gaze focussed on her with frightening clarity, and she suddenly knew sheâd been a fool to mistake this man for anything other than an imperturbable, composed businessman whoâd let nothing stand in the way of getting what he wanted.
âI need a PA.â
And she needed money desperately.
A win-win for them both.
If she could just forget the fact sheâd had the best sex of her life with him.

THE BRONZE GOD WAS NAKED.
Gloriously, eye-poppingly naked, every muscle flexing and bunching and glistening as he carried a tray laden with cocktails and champagne flutes through the crowd.
âYou can close your jaw now, before it hits the floor.â
Starr Merriday blinked once, twice, the spell broken as she tore her reluctant gaze away from the waiter and frowned at her best friend Kit.
âItâs your fault. You brought me to this den of iniquity.â
Kit wiggled her eyebrows suggestively, her chuckle positively wicked. âYeah, and youâre loving every minute of it.â
âIt does have its benefits.â
Starrâs gaze strayed to the ripped waiter again, lingered on his pecs, the light smattering of dark hair across his broad chest, dipped to his navel, the arrowing of hair beneath itâ¦
âJeez, what does a girl have to do to get a drink in this place?â
Kit smirked. âBit hot under the collar?â
âMore like hot all over,â she muttered, thankful the waiters were clothed from the waist down, beyond thankful Kit had chosen one of her entrepreneurial motherâs infamous cocktail parties for her farewell.
Nothing like a roomful of semi-naked guys to get a girlâs mind off the fact she was jobless, homeless and penniless.
âDonât look now, but I think heâs checking me out.â
Kitâs subtle head-jerk towards Mr Pecs had Starr darting a quick glance in his direction, just in time to see him stumble, the tray skating on his palms like a penguin on ice, sloshing cocktails everywhere, the bulk of them landing on the guy next to him.
Sympathy warred with mirth as she watched the waiter try to mop up the mess, the guy in the suit waving him away with a frown.
The cocktail-wearing recipient looked out of place, suited and buttoned-up in a roomful of semi-naked guys, and she grinned as he fiddled with the knot of his tie, straightening it, aiming for cool, despite having several mojitos and a magnum of champagne dumped on his Armani duds.
âYeah, he was definitely checking me out. Just one look and the guy does that. Back soon, hun. Off to mingleâfind me a less clumsy one.â
Kit headed for the barâand a tempting conglomeration of buffed waitersâwhile Starr found her gaze drawn back to the suit.
Sheâd been too busy ogling the waiters to notice the other guys in the room, but now she hadâ¦Slick guys in suits werenât her thing, but there was something about this guy. The way he stood, tall, proud, indomitable, despite a cocktail-dousing, his class obvious, his imperious gaze scanning the crowdâ¦clashing with hers.
