Maybe it was the same reason Sasha had stayed in her office back then when she first met Jordan and Luke.
My face went red at the implications of what that meant for me here and now with these three men. But then, I did as I was told.
I turned for them; slowly.
I shivered as I did so, feeling their eyes on me, and feeling this thrill from it being so wrong coursing through me. Wrong, perhaps, but at the same time, I felt a strange urge to please them. Not just because I wanted a job, but because I wanted to do well for them.
It was a strange feeling.
When I’d made a full circle on my heels, I brought my gaze back up.
They were all grinning at me.
Hungrily.
“Very good, Arianna,” Hunter murmured, no longer at the window but standing beside the desk his partner leaned against.
“Very good indeed.”
“Do you skype, Arianna?”
I turned back to Sean, my eyes following his hand as he pushed it through his thick hair.
“Video chat? Yes sir, of course.”
“We’re all three away on business for a few days, but we’d like to hold follow-up interviews via video so that we can have the position filled for our return. Are you available tomorrow evening?”
I felt my heart jump up into my throat. A follow-up interview? I’d made it?
I quickly nodded as I remembered to speak.
“Absolutely, sir!”
“Excellent,” Damien said darkly, nodding. “We appreciate you coming in, Arianna.”
“Of course, thank you for having—”
“Just so we’re clear,” Hunter cut in.
“You are clear on the duties of the position?”
My brow furrowed for a minute. I mean, it was a secretary position. Yeah, I think I could handle photocopies and Starbucks orders.
“Absolutely,” I said quickly, smiling at them and clasping my hands in front of me.
“Excellent.”
Damien held my eyes another second.
“We’ll be in touch then.” He raised a single brow at me.
“You can leave now.”
I nodded again, smiling as calmly as I could at the three of them as I collected my bag and walked out of the room.
And I swear I could feel all three of them looking at me as I did.
Chapter 4
“They did what?”
Sasha gave me one of her arched-brow looks.
“Yeah.” I chewed on my lip and looked down at my glass of wine.
“Stand and turn?”
I slowly nodded my head and she grinned.
“Well well well…”
“No it wasn’t like that.”
“How could it not be?”
“Because they’re gorgeous?”
I covered my mouth immediately as her eyes went wide.
“Oh really?”
I avoided answering with a big gulp of wine.
“So, let me get this straight.” She leveled a look at me.
“You’ve got three bosses.”
I shook my head. “I don’t have the job yet.”
“Whatever. There’s three of them. They’re young, hot, rich, and they wanted you to stand and turn around at an interview?”
I nodded.
“Sounds hot.”
“Sasha!”
“Well look who you’re talking to, girl!”
I blushed even darker, as I always did when I thought of my friend and the two wildly attractive, completely dedicated men who I’m sure worshipped her like a queen in the bedroom. I couldn’t even imagine what having two sets of strong hands, two sets of perfect lips and two huge….
Well….all I’m saying, I knew there was a very good reason Sasha basically had a permanent smile and glow about her.
“What, I’m just saying?”
“Sasha, I’m not going to have an affair with one of my bosses.”
“What about with two or three of them?’
My face turned bright red. “Sasha! Oh my God, please. I’m not like—”
“Like me?” She gave me a sharp look.
“That’s not what I mean and you know it. I mean I’m not like you as in I’m not brave enough for that.”
“You might surprise yourself.”
I blushed and quickly shook my head. “Oh my God, why are we even having this discussion?”
She laughed as she put her arm around me and hugged me close. “I’m just teasing you, you know. And hey, congratulations on the second interview!”
I made a face.
“What?”
“I might need some help with that.”
“How so?”
“Video conferencing. I sort of lied to them. I have no idea what I’m doing there.”
“Seriously?”
“What? I’ve never done it.”
Sasha laughed. “Oh my poor technological stunted friend. Don’t you worry, I can show you. When is it?”
“Tomorrow night.”
“I’ll help you set it up.”
Tomorrow, I’d be seeing them again.
****
I saw them again that night though, in my head. As I lay in bed, the interview from earlier replaying through my mind, but this time, it played out differently. Colored by wine, and thinking more about my friend and her two men than I probably should have started to lead my thoughts to different places.
This time, the inappropriateness didn’t stop at having me stand and turn.
It went way further.
This time, in my fantasy, they had me turn, but then they were asking more. I panted as I closed my eyes and let my fingers play across my skin under the sheets of Sasha’s guest room. In my fantasy, they asked — no, demanded — that I take my clothes off.
