Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 25 Harper.

Jackson, one of Gabriel's drivers, opens the door for me and I get in, Gabriel slipping in beside me.

I still can't believe that I'd agreed to this, but deep down I know that it made sense. Gabriel was right, there was no better way to get experience running a company than learning from the best. When it came to business, Gabriel and Rowan were the best out there. They even surpassed their father who had retired but was still head of the board members.

It took me a while to get ready because I couldn't decide what to wear. I worked from home most of the time and when I did go to the company, I put on casual clothes since the company I used to work for was a bit laid back.

I wanted to look presentable and make a good first impression. I didn't have a lot of work clothes and I planned to go shopping this weekend. Money was tight, but I could do with a few skirts and blouses. After settling on what to wear, I went to have breakfast. Gabriel had given me a quick once over before going back to his phone. After I was done, it was time to leave. Lilly wasn't awake yet, so I left a message with Sharone.

"So, what kind of work will you assign me?" I asked once Gabriel was seated and we started moving.

His presence filled the entire place and his cologne was intoxicating. The way he filled the space next to me with his broad shoulders and muscular thighs took me back to a few hours ago when I walked into his room unannounced.

The image of him with his fist around his long, thick and hard cock makes my mouth water. Don't judge me. It's been a few years since I've gotten any action. Any woman in my position would salivate at that. I try banishing the memory, but it's no good. I can't stop seeing his eyes locked on mine as he fisted himself. Neither can I unhear his groan of pleasure nor unsee as his cum shot up from the tip of his cock. I clump my thighs together to try and stop the throbbing down there. This was wrong on so many levels. I should be lusting after him. Not him. Not the same man that broke my heart into a thousand pieces years ago.

"Harper-"

I screech, when I hear my name. I turn to look at him, burning with embarrassment. I'm damn afraid that he'll see or somehow sense that I've been picturing his dick.

I wonder what or who he was thinking of when he was jerking off. Nope, definitely no. I'm not going to go there.

His eyes narrow into slits, and I'm so fucking afraid he'd sensed what I was thinking of. I can feel my burning cheeks, and I'm sure it's a dead giveaway that my thoughts were completely dirty. "Why the hell are you so skittish?" he asked, and I swallowed before adjusting myself in my seat.

"Nothing" I replied quickly. "I'm just a bit nervous, that's all."

Damn it, I really needed to get myself under control. Maybe I was just using what I saw as a way to distract myself from being nervous. I was going to Wood's Corporation, after all. That alone would make anyone nervous.

"And why don't I believe you?"

"I don't know" I snapped, a little irritated with myself for thinking about him naked. "And it isn't my damn problem."

His lips thin and his chest puffs out as he takes a deep breath. "Anyway, as I was saying... I think you'll learn more from me, it makes sense if you are my P.A."

Fuck. I had not thought we'd be

working this close together. I thought he'd just hand me over to one of the departments or

something. Being his P.A meal net

that

we'd be spending more time together than I'd originally planned.

It's not what you're thinking, but it was already hard enough that I saw him at home, now at work too?

"I don't think-"

He cuts me off before I get the chance to finish what I wanted to say. That just irritates me even more because he's growing a habit of

doing that a lot lately. He's a man et

that likes to take charge. I

understand that, but I'm also a woman that hates being controlled. He just makes decisions without

even consulting me first, and I hate

that.

"Since that's settled, let's get out" he said, staring at his watch. "We are already here."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

At his words, I look outside the window. It's then that I realize we were in the underground and the car had been parked.

Jackson opens the door and my heart begins beating wildly. Damn it, I was so not ready for this.

"Are you coming?" he was already out of the car and was looking at me in question.

Maybe I should have fought harder to stay home instead of agreeing to work here with him. Anyway, it was already too late for me to back out now.
