Chapter 375: Uh Oh
Ian glanced sideways at Isabella who was looking at him red faced, with half closed eyes. "The girl looked good enough to eat," he thought to himself. If it had been anyone but her in that moment, he might have simply pushed back his seat, gallantly assisting her with the removal of that delicate lacie top, and then...
"What are you thinking?" Isabelle asked in her low voice. Dam* it! She had the same voice when she’d been drunk that night. He didn’t quite like it. It did things to his libido, that had no business being involved here.
"Nothing." he answered shortly. He should not be thinkig about Isabella, he told his brain firmly. Only for it to play pictures of her in a loop! Dam* it! He’d forgotten that you could not tell your brain to not do something!
The way she laughed when she took that trophy or the way the beer had slipped down her top when she’d been doing the beer pong. "You are not a randy teenager, Ian. Stop thinking about her ’assets’. She is Nora’s friend and your assistant."
"I won’t be your assistant much longer, right?"
Ian coughed as he choked on his own saliva. Did he think the last thoughts out loud? Her small hand came to pat him on the back but he could only cough some more as he moved to stop the car on the side of the road.
Finally, when he was able to catch his breath and turned to look at her, he noticed her expression of concern and was pretty sure that he’d not been thinking things out loud. Carefully, he asked her," What do you mean?"
"I mean, now that Arabelle and Elena Winthrope have been handled..."
"So? I’ve already sent Miss North on her way."
