hell.
    “Looks like you’re trying to escape someone.”
    “You have no idea.”
    Her overriding urge had been to leave the office as fast as possible. As exciting as it had been to have spontaneous sex with the boss, it was something
Delaware
knew could get her into a lot of trouble. She wasn’t looking for a relationship, let alone sex. Both always ended up complicated and messy.
    “Tell me about it.” Speed still held her arm; his eyes were locked on hers.
    There was something about chocolate brown eyes that always fascinated
Delaware
. Maybe it was the depth or the intensity. She wasn’t sure, but these particular eyes were set on hers, and it made her feel all hot and bothered. It was odd. Maybe she was having some weird hormonal incident where all men were suddenly attractive to her.
    “You’re a man, you wouldn’t understand.” It had only just occurred to her that he was still touching her. She pulled her arm away, trying not to look like he had affected her. I’m just all tensed up after Templeton McAdam.
    “Try me.” Speed smiled at her with a lopsided grin. It was the type of smile that encouraged her to tell him everything.
    Yet, for some reason,
Delaware
had the feeling that he meant more than just chit-chat. His smile was charming, yet the shiver of anticipation that ran down her spine alerted her to be careful.
    “Well, there’s this man…”
    “That you fancy?”
    “Maybe, but he’s pushy.” And hot and sexy.
    “And you don’t like to be dominated?” Speed asked in amusement.
    “No.” And why was this stranger smiling at her in such a superior know-it-all way? What was it with men today?
    “Why not?”
    Delaware
took at step back from him. Even if he had been standing ten feet away he still would have been too close.
    “Because I believe everyone should be treated as an equal.” All this submissive-dominating stuff was beyond her.
Delaware
could not imagine allowing any man to treat her like a sex toy.
    “Lovers included?”
    “Well ─ yes.” Why am I even having this conversation with this man?
    “Can you not see that being out of control can be exciting?
    “No,”
Delaware
snorted. Control to her was as vital as breathing. She had totally lost it with the boss and the only way to recover it was to quit her job.
    “Never lost control princess?” He leaned in and ran his eyes down her body.
    Delaware
stepped back and hit the rough textured wall behind her.
    “Excuse me. I need to go, and you are in my way.” She could have quite easily have pushed her hands against his chest to make him move, but she had the feeling they would both enjoy her touching him a little too much. Oh yeah, the hormones were running wild today.
    “Is the conversation a little difficult for you?”
    Was it pushy he-man day today or something? Had she missed seeing that on her desk calendar?
    “I don’t know you.”
    “Then get to know me, princess.”
    Delaware
looked at him in shock. ‘Princess?’ ‘Get to know me.’ He used the same words as Templeton. A wild feeling of panic rushed through her body.
    “Ah, there you are,” Templeton said as he pushed the door open. “I see you’ve met my fiancée.”
    “She is delicious.”
    Huh?
    “I am not your fiancée.”
Delaware
looked from one man to the other. The truth dawned on her. “You two know each other?” It suddenly occurred to her that this was the ‘friend’ he had mentioned.
    “Yes.” He held out his hand. “My name is Speed, and I want to get to know you.” Speed’s eyes never left hers.
    Speed? As in head rush? It certainly was what she felt at that moment.
Delaware
took the chance and pushed at his chest. Hot and hard ─ just like she imagined. Her hands immediately let go as if scorched by the contact. He moved back, indicating she was the only one that held her there. “Whatever games you’re playing, I am not interested.”
    “Yeah you are,” Templeton responded as it was perfectly obvious to him. “I
