““She stared earnestly at him, her eyes pleading. “Tell me, Chrysander. I need to know. What were we like before? How did we meet? Were we very in love?” He turned toward the water and shoved his hands back into his pockets. “You worked for me,” he said gruffly. She moved beside him, not touching him. But she was close enough that he could feel the soft hiccups of her breaths. “I did? At your hotel?” He shook his head. “In the corporate offices. You were my assistant.” She looked at him in shock. “But Roslyn is your assistant, and she seems awfully comfortable in that role. Like she’s been there for years.” He offered a small smile. “You weren’t my assistant for long. I was too intent on having you in my bed. I convinced you to quit and move in with me. You were too much of a distraction for me at work.” She didn’t look pleased by his statement. A worried frown worked over her face, and her lips turned down into a dissatisfied moue. “So you’ve made it a practice to put me where it’s most convenient for you,” she murmured. He cursed softly under his breath, but again, he couldn’t very well deny that he’d been intent on having his way when it came to her. “And I allowed this?” she asked. “I just quit my job and moved in with you?” He shrugged. “You seemed as happy to be with me as I was with you.””
