Accidentally Flirting with the CEO (Whirlwind Romance Series)

sense her urgency. She then shrugged and
settled back to her work on her computer. Alexa got back to finishing her
silent panic attack which may very well morph into a full blown nervous
breakdown. If she didn’t have a Plan B beforehand, she had seconds to conjure
up one now.
     
    Jess was about to receive Alexa’s e-mailed seduction. Part
of her—probably a larger part of her—wanted Jess to know exactly
what she felt about him in her heart. How much she longed to get close to him
in every sense of the word. Another part of her was terrified of what he would
really think of her salacious, uncensored thoughts of him. Would she ultimately
turn him on, or log him off her for good?
    Moments later, Alexa sat in her cubicle and glanced down at
her sterling silver Guess watch without the numbers. It was 9:30 in the
morning—her Starbucks green tea untouched. As the tea bag seeped in the
container, thoughts of Jess Tandon seeped in her mind.
    Her life would probably change forever after their meeting.
The very man she desired. The most unavailable, out-of-her-grasp object of her
desire was about to read her explicit, seductive (and highly embarrassing)
e-mail.
    She jolted up when her phone rang on her desk. Reluctantly
she pressed the speaker option when she saw it was reception calling. 
    “Hey, Pamsey.” Alexa tried to hide the sound of defeat in
her voice.
    “They’re waiting for you in the boardroom.” Pamsey’s voice
boomed through the speaker phone. Alexa’s heart boomed through her chest.
    Her pulse raced hard and fast. Her throat tightened up and
her legs felt weak, almost lifeless. Did Jess already view the e-mail?
    Jess Tandon grabbed his file and his BlackBerry and headed
to the boardroom. He was dressed in his navy blue business suit. Normally, he
wasn’t formal, but today he would be meeting with another client from out of
town. He’d also just gotten off the phone with Brea, the owner of Hot Spot
Resorts. He couldn’t wait to get the appraisal over and done with and have
Alexa start working on the account.
    He realized he was the last to enter the boardroom. His
sister Lee and cousin Chase, the other members of the board were already seated
engaging in small chat. His heart stopped when Alexa strolled into the
boardroom at the same time. His eyes captured hers at the same moment and he
felt some electricity pulse between them. This was not good. It was evaluation
day. He was her boss for God’s sake! Still, he couldn’t help his eyes roaming
over her body from head to toe. She certainly had pleasing proportions. Full
voluptuous breasts. Those hips. Her tiny waist and rounded bottom and the way
she wiggled while she walked.
    Stop it, Jess! Get a hold of yourself, man!
    “Hi, Jess,” her soft voice called out and distracted his
thoughts.
    “Alexa.” He nodded politely as he tried to hide his emotion
by sounding as curt as possible.
    God, her long, slender toned legs in that pretty pink dress
caused his groin to react. He drew in a deep breath. Normally he wouldn’t lose
his cool over a woman—but damn! She looked hot in that pink dress! The
word’ beautiful’ didn’t sum her up enough.  Those full lips as ripe as
strawberries. He wondered what her lips would taste like on his—probably
as sweet as red wine.
    She didn’t even have to try, he mused. The soft, sweet scent
of her perfume caught his nostrils and drove him crazy. Was there anything
about her that he was not attracted to? He remembered the shy, young university
student when she first came to him looking for work. So willing. So dedicated.
So feisty with her work skills. But she never quite got out of her shell.
    “All set?” he offered. He tried to divert his eyes away from
Alexa’s curvaceous body, her presenting breasts which seemed to form nicely
under her dress. And those legs! What would they feel like wrapped around his
waist?
    Oh, God. Her nipples are showing through her top.
    Jess felt a sudden jerking movement below his waist. This
is not good. Focus, Jess. Focus. She’s off limits.
    The last thing he wanted was any misunderstandings to
surface.  Why did she have to be his employee? He couldn’t wait to be
seated to hide his now growing erection. Why did she have that kind of effect
on him? He couldn’t remember when the last time a woman caused his mind to spin
into a whirlwind as Alexa did. Good thing she couldn’t read his mind. He
lowered his file to his mid-section as he walked into the boardroom
