CHAPTER 5

Skylar

I made it to the boardroom half an hour before the meeting to guarantee that I wouldn't have to rush in case I lose track of time. With an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach and a bouncing knee, my tingly fingers page through the projections and forecasting. Mr. Dickson threw me in the deep end this time when he assigned me a last-minute presentation he had to give. Despite practically handling all of his work and being quite knowledgeable about everything, an hour isn't enough time to prepare.

Preparing is even harder due to my frayed nerves, and after overhearing him make plans to ditch the meeting and hook up with one of the new interns. He seriously has no regard for his wife, job or me, practically anyone. As long as his dick gets a good time.

Such a freaking dickhead!

One by one, the board members arrive and the silence fades as the boardroom fills. When everyone's voice suddenly lowers, and a deep husky voice greets us, my head whips up from the documents I'm studying.

Holy freakin' cow!

This isn't real!

I go rigid and a flush of adrenaline tingles through my body as my mouth falls open. Blinking rapidly, I cannot believe Mr. Grayson is the Alec, Lexi's fuck buddy.

Damn, this man is a sight to behold!

Oh, God... and his voice!

I regret my work schedule had me so busy that I missed the newsletter revealing our new CEO. If only I saw his picture, I would've known it was Alec and mentally prepare myself.

He looks incredible in his navy blue tailored suit, and it seems like he is a gym freak the way his muscles bulge underneath his suit. Alec is freaking hotter in person and oh God, his sexy, husky voice sends jolts of electricity straight down below.

As the meeting progresses, I picture him shirtless, like in the pics Lexi showed me. My hormones are spiraling out of control and feel so damn drawn to him, like some magnetic force is pulling me in. I think I see Alec ogling me each time I glance over at him, but I'm not sure if I'm just imagining things.The mere thought alone of his eyes on me drives my body into a frenzy. I can't tell if it is nervousness or arousal.

All kinds of naughty thoughts run through my head as the steamy details Lexi shared about them, plays over and over in my head like a broken record. Instinctively, I squeeze my thighs together to silence the throbbing in a place I haven't permitted any man to touch, except... never mind. But it doesn't seem to work.

Dammit... my panties is soaked.

What's wrong with me?

No man has ever made me feel this way and worse of all, he is my boss. I barely hear a word that is said and without realizing, I look him over and study every inch of his handsome features. My eyes linger on his mouth and instinctively lick my lips. I wonder what those lips taste like? Heat rushes to my cheeks and my heart skips a beat when our eyes suddenly meet. A devious grin plays on his lips, as if he knows exactly what I'm thinking. I'm royally fucked! I discreetly sink into my seat, not to draw any attention and hide behind Mr. Peters, who is a reasonably huge man.

Holy hell!

How am I going to give the presentation now?

Then, as if the universe is against me, Mr. Peters motions to me to take the floor. I'm a complete mess, both literally and figuratively, and Alec Grayson is all to blame for it. All the blood rushes to my face when my eyes meet his steady gaze.
