Auctioned By The Ceo

Chapter 6

No expense had been spared for this auction at Logan’s insistence and the finance department’s not so silent consternation.

It had given Hannah a much-needed boost at the time to know that her far too sexy and overbearing boss was behind this project every step of the way. Clearly, he’d decided that this auction was beneficial for business, and if she’d learnt one thing about him in the last few weeks of very much being on his radar it was that for this man business was everything. He pursued an avenue he was interested in with ruthless determination. Judging by the ridiculous amount of money he’d spent on securing her at the auction and his subsequent refusal to let her wriggle out of it, he had now set his sights on her.

Hannah wasn’t at all sure she wanted to be his latest acquisition, as it were.

No, that was a lie. She had to face up to the truth at least in her head. Her body was more than up for the idea of getting to know her boss on a far more intimate level, if only he wasn’t her boss. Things in the office would be awkward enough as it was with everyone thinking she’d slept with him.

The little devil sitting on her shoulder smirked.

You might as well do it then. No one will believe you haven’t, let alone Monique.

Hannah ignored that insidious voice trying to lead her down the path of sinful temptation and took refuge in her fury over Monique’s underhandedness instead. Far better to think about that than to wonder what Logan Bryce would look like naked.

Grief, stop it, already. Think about the trollop instead.

She knew full well what the other woman’s plan had been, namely to humiliate Hannah in front of everyone. Well, that had rather spectacularly backfired on her.

When she drew face to face with her nemesis, Hannah knew her smile was as fake as Monique’s. Logan pulled her closer into his side and slid his hand down her back slowly in a far too arousing display of familiarity and ownership. Monique’s eyes narrowed, and Hannah could almost see the malicious wheels turning in her head, as she dipped her head in acknowledgement.

“Hannah.”

“Monique.” She tried in vain to shake off Logan’s hand. All she achieved was for his hand to slide slower, and she swallowed a gasp when he tapped her butt just once. What on earth was he playing at? They were in full view of anyone. And why was his caveman act such a turn-on?

“I take it you will be all right to oversee the rest of the evening, Monique.” Logan’s deep voice held that note of censure, which only served to rev Hannah’s hormones into yet more of a frenzy. The effect his voice had on her was really rather ludicrous.

Considering she knew firsthand the damage a man’s temper could do, she ought to be already running away from him.
