That did it–I was so pissed I just grabbed his arm and sank my teeth into him.

Jared winced, but didn’t shove me off. Instead, his gaze grew more intense, almost smoldering.

Then, leaning in close, he murmured in my ear, “Victoria, hit me, bite me, whatever you want. But could you not breathe like that? I’m seriously losing control here.”

Jared was lounging on the couch and said casually, “I didn’t come here specifically for you. I’m here on business.”

“So where’s your assistant and driver?” I asked.
