Novel information: My Pretty Little Object

I race back up the stairs before she can argue. I’ll take any excuse to go to my dad’s work, especially if it means I’ll get to set my eyes on his unbelievably sexy boss. I’ve had it bad for Mr. Harding for as long as I can remember. He may be more than twice my age, but the man looks like a god, and he’s starred in every single sexual fantasy I’ve ever had. He’s also the reason I’m still a damn virgin at nineteen.

There’s no way in hell I’m showing up without looking amazing, so I take a quick shower, making sure to shave everything, before walking to my closet. I decide on a ridiculously short skirt and a pink top that hugs me like a second skin. Looking in the mirror, it’s painfully obvious that I’m braless, so I grab a little black sweater and put it on so my mom doesn’t have a heart attack when she sees me walk out the door.

I look at my reflection one last time and smile. With any luck, I’ll catch Mr. Harding’s eye. We did have a bit of a moment at the Christmas party last year. I’d run into him in a dark corner, and the heated look he’d given me still gets me wet every time I think about it. Nothing had happened, though, and it’s been eating away at me ever since. I know he wanted me. I think he just needs a little kick in the ass. He probably thinks I’m off-limits since my dad works for him. Well, that’s bullshit. I just need to make him see reason, and I think today might be the day.
