David’s Adam’s apple moved with a careless swallow. She had the kind of beauty that seemed almost unreal, like she didn’t belong to this world. But here she was, sending him flirty GIFs even when he was in the middle of something important. She was an angel on the outside, but deep down she was pure mischief.
She knew exactly what she was doing. She knew how to get what she wanted.
Mark grinned. “Mrs. Harmon looks so young. She must be clingy. Are you sure you can handle her?”
Having a gorgeous, younger wife was one thing. Actually keeping up with her was another.
David glanced out at Ella. He honestly didn’t know. Things between them hadn’t gotten that far yet, and he couldn’t say if he’d be able to keep up when they did.
Just then, his phone buzzed again.
He opened the message from Ella. [Mr. Harmon, are you up to it or not? If you aren’t, I’m leaving.]
Damn!
He swore under his breath. How was he supposed to get any work done when she was like this?
Outside, Ella was in a great mood. She knew David would never ditch his work for her, which made teasing him even more fun. She took a slow sip of her coffee and got up to go.
Suddenly, a deep, smooth voice came from behind her. “Where are you going?”
That voice…
Ella spun around and saw the conference room doors opening. David was standing there.
He actually came out?
He walked over, closing the distance between them in just a few steps. “Come on.”
Ella blinked, a little thrown off. “Where?”
David reached for her hand, his palm warm and steady. He gave her soft fingers a gentle squeeze and said, “Wherever you want.”
Ella couldn’t think of a single thing to say.
