Mallory Sims begins working for Graham Landry....day one, she's late, she falls head first into his arms, she's sassy. But she's real and honest and unforgettable. I really adored Graham in this book. He's hot, intelligent, alpha, and definitely OCD. Their sex is off the charts but their back and forth banter is even better. I like how they are so different but those differences work really well for them. I rooted for them from the beginning and was so super pleased with the ending. I could read more about them and all the Landry brothers.

Mallory Sims is late for her first day of work.
After spilling her tea, she discovers she has no gas in her car.
Add that her arm keeps sticking to her dress from syrup left on the console of
her car, flustered feels like an understatement.
Then she sees her new boss.
Graham Landry is the epitome of NSFW in his custom-fit suit,
black-rimmed glasses, and a look so stern her libido doesn’t stand a chance.
Being flustered is just the start of her problems.
Her punctuality is only the start of his. With a pink slip in
hand, he’s been waiting on his new secretary to show up only to let her go.
Then she rushes in with her doe eyes and rambling excuses, smelling like bacon
and lavender. The termination paper falls to the side as she falls in his arms.
This is a disaster in the making. Not because of his pinpoint
exactness or her free spirit, but because when they’re together, the sparks
that fly threaten to burn the whole place down.

#1
We both know we
aren’t just talking about a moved stapler or a mishmash of files. As that
really sets in, the air around us gets heavier. Hotter. Hazardous.
“Those things always lead to dangerous situations,” he
says, his eyes trained on me.
I shift in my seat, the throb between my legs growing
stronger by the second. “People do it every day and survive.”
“They may survive, but don’t things get messy?”
“Only if they do it right.”
His chair flies backwards and he’s to his feet and next
to me before I know what’s happening. He doesn’t ask that I stand, but he
doesn’t have to. It’s implied and my body reacts accordingly to his silent
command.
We stand face-to-face, our breathing ragged. Our chests
heave with the anticipation, the possibility, of what might come next.
“You are, quite possibly, the most dangerous of them
all,” he says, his voice rough.
“Why is that?” I breathe.
“There’s no plan for you.”
“But you’ve already penciled me in, haven’t you,
Graham?” I ask, finding the courage to play this little game with him. Being
strictly professional is incredibly hard, and this is way too easy.
I can flirt with the best of them in a bar or on a
college campus. But here, with him, it’s a game all its own. A level I had no
idea I’d ever be a contender in. Maybe I’m not, but I’m going to play the hell
out of it while I’m here … even though if I keep it up, I might not be here for
long.
“What do you want, Mallory?”
“I want to do all the things you ask of me and do them
better than you ever expected they could be done.”
A rumble emits from his throat as his eyes darken. My
knees go weak and I grab the table with my left hand to ensure I don’t fall.
He licks his lips and flips his gaze to my mouth. I
think I whimper as I lift my chin, waiting to see what he does next. My entire
body is on fire for this man, my heart thumping so hard I’m sure he can hear
it.
He moves so my back is pressed against the table, our food
long forgotten. His hands are on either side of me, caging me in. Our eyes
locked together, he leans in, a slow smirk spreading across his gorgeous face.
“Excuse me, Mr. Landry. Ford is here to see you,” Raza
chirps through the line.
We exhale simultaneously, a giggle escaping with mine.
There’s nothing funny about this, but the energy has to come out in some way.
“Mr. Landry?” she asks again.
“I’ll be right out. Thank you, Raza.”
“Oh, you’re so welcome, sir.” The line clicks off and
Graham marches across the room and punches a button. The light on top indicates
he’s not to be disturbed.
I busy myself with cleaning up our lunch, and before
he’s at my side again, I have everything bundled up.
“Thanks for lunch,” I say like nothing just happened.
“Mallory …” He runs his hand through his hair, leaving
one lock sticking up. Knowing what that will look like if we walk out together,
I reach up, hesitating for a split second, before smoothing it out.
His hair is silky against my fingers. He jumps when I touch
him at first, but doesn’t back away. “What are you doing?”
“Nothing went on in here. I refuse for it to look like
something did. That’s the way rumors get spread, Mr. Landry.”
“Mallory, I …”
I get a final look at his face, reach up and straighten
his tie as his eyes go wide, then turn towards the door. “I’ll send Ford in.”
“Mallory!”
“Yeah?” I turn to see him over my shoulder. He’s
standing by the table, his hands in his pockets looking frazzled. When he
doesn’t respond, I place my hand on the knob. “I’ll have that file back to you
before I leave today. Thanks again for lunch.”
I walk out before I can change my mind.
#2
Graham’s tongue darts out, skimming his
bottom lip. He’s pinning me against the loveseat with a hand on either side of
my face.
“You drive me crazy,” he says, narrowing
his eyes. “I try so hard to be on my best behavior around you and you just
whittle me down. Every fucking time.”
“Well,” I tease, wrapping my legs around
his waist. “I think your ‘best behavior’ is subjective.”
“You know what I mean.”
“And you know what I mean.”
My heels locked at his back, I squeeze my
thighs around his waist and pull him closer to me. His lips hover over mine but
they don’t touch.
“What exactly do you mean, Mallory?”
I wind my fingers in his hair and tug
gently. “I mean this is the Graham I like best. I like seeing you like this.”
“Struggling to keep myself together?”
“Exactly.” Lifting my head, I flick my
tongue against his lips. I can feel the heat of his mouth, the taste of his
desire. “Don’t try so hard,” I whisper.
“It’s futile anyway,” he says. I barely
hear the words as he pulls back. “Stand up.” He climbs off the loveseat,
stripping off his shirt. “Now.”
My stomach clenching at the intensity in
his eyes, I’m on my feet before I realize I’ve moved.
“Take your dress off. Everything. I want
you completely naked.”
The air brushes against my skin as the
linen covering my body pools at my feet. As I step out, I watch Graham and
almost gasp.
He’s standing in front of me, his cock in
his hand, watching my every move. “Bra. Off.”
With a shaky hand, I unclasp the back and
throw it at him. He catches it and presses it to his face.
“Now what?” I stand before him, not a thing
on my skin. My hair drapes around my shoulders, and despite the fact I’m standing
completely naked outside under the watchful eye of this sexy CEO, I don’t feel
a bit nervous. Just … admired. That feels better than any orgasm, any
accomplishment, any nice words ever spoken to me.
Graham sits again, his legs spread. He’s in
complete control, managing the situation not with words or power, but with his
eyes. That’s all it takes.
#3
Her skin is pale
and creamy, a soft framework for the deep chestnut hair cascading across her
shoulders. A dress the color of moss in the summer showcases toned arms and a
long, lean line from her shoulders to her calves. A thin rope belt cinches her
trim waist, one that I can imagine digging my fingers into.
I clear my throat. “Can I help you?”
With something
besides getting out of that dress?
“I think you probably can,” she breathes, then blushes
a pretty shade of pink. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. What I mean is
…”
She’s flustered.
It’s adorable and sexy at the same time. I should say something, interject,
help her out, but I don’t. I like this entirely too much.
“I’ll stop talking now.” She flashes me a pretty smile,
one that catches my attention in ways it shouldn’t at eight-sixteen a.m. Taking
a step towards me, the toe of her shoe catches on the water bottle she didn’t
pick up and she comes barreling my way.
Before I know what’s happening, I reach out and catch
her under a spray of loose leaf paper.
“Omph!” she heaves as she lands in my arms and I’m
surrounded by a sweet, earthy scent.
I should let her go. I should back away, direct her to
the front desk to get directions to wherever she’s going, and retreat to my
office. Regardless of how sexy her breasts feel pressed against me or the way
her ass pops as my fingers lace together at the dip at the bottom of her spine,
I have things to do today. Important things. Lots of them. Even if I can’t
pinpoint one at the moment.
Large, nearly golden-colored eyes peer up at me.
They’re crystal clear, almost like I can see all the way to the depths of her
soul. They’re incredible tones of the purest gold and I can’t look away.
The feel of her body against mine sparks something
inside me—a carnal, visceral reaction that’s led by feeling rather than
intellect. “Are you okay?” I ask, trying desperately to use the brainpower I’m
known for in most circles and not the cock I’m known for in others.
“I think so.” She pulls her gaze away from mine. A
connection is actually snapped between us and I’m almost certain she feels it
too because her features fall. “I’m just running late …”
Hell. Fucking. No.
I’m afraid to ask the next question. If the answer is
what I think it is, I’m going to kill my little sister.
