TEMPTING THE CEO
Angela Claire

Angela Claire's Tempting the CEO is a short story that follows the new relationship between Angelina and Jed.

Lawyer Angelina O'Hare is in New York City for a business deal for her client. She gets locked out of her hotel room while getting ice....in nothing but her towel. Help arrives in the form of the wickedly gorgeous man in the penthouse next door.

Angelia reluctantly agrees to wait in Mr. Sexy's room for help with her door. She ignores her usual buzz-kill tendancies, and agrees to have a drink with him...after she puts on clothes.

But thinks don't stop at just a drink. Angelina throws caution to the wind and enjoys a night of hot sex with a stranger. No names, no personal information, just intense pleasure.

The next morning Angelina sneaks out, returning to her normal life. However, New York City doesn't seem like it is done with her yet. Her morning meeting is with Mr. Sexy himself, CEO Jed Worth.

I really enjoyed Angela Claire's TEMPTING THE CEO. Although it is only a short story, the reader gets to experience their meeting and how their relationship begins to blossom into something more permanent. Angelina is witty and intelligent, while Jed is successful, and funny, and both compliment each other very nicely.

TEMPTING THE CEO is the first time I've read anything from Angela Claire, but I will certainly be looking for more from her in the future.

SUMMARY

Never mix business with one night of playful, sizzling pleasure... If lawyer Angie O'Hare needed another reason to hate New York City, this would be it. Locked out of her room and stranded in the hallway. Wearing only a towel. Lovely. But then, rescue arrivesβ€”in the form of the wickedly hot, funny guy in the penthouse next door. Angie is so relieved that she ignores her usual buzz-kill tendencies, and agrees to have a drink with Mr. Sexy Salvation... But things don't stop at just a drink. Or even a hot make-out session. Cue one night of hot, ultra-x-rated sexy time. No names. No personal information. And the next morning, Angie sneaks out, returning to her prim-and-proper life, every hair in place. But New York City isn't done with Angie yet. Because her meeting that morning is with CEO Jed Worth... whose bed she did everything but sleep in last night! And Jed isn't the sort of man to take β€œconflict of interest” as an answer...A

EXCERPT

It was Gorgeous Guy, in yet another well-tailored suit, gray pinstripes this time, all red-power-tie and everything. He looked perfectly well rested, even though he’d been rocking my world all night, and I sported near- bruises beneath my eyes to show how I’d spent the time in his bed. Bob, with his apparent insensitivity to the emotions of others, completely failed to notice the immediate current of recognition between us, sitting down at the head of the negotiating table as his usual flurry of associates and underlings came in to assume their positions. Jedβ€”I knew he couldn’t be a Fredβ€”recovered first. β€œAngelina, is it? Pleased to meet you.” He grinned and pulled a chair out for me and I sat, opening my briefcase and calmly gathering my drafts as he took the seat next to me. β€œJed, you’re over here, next to me,” Bob said, indicating a chair, and his client gave him a look that reminded him he was the client without having to say it. β€œOr you could stay right there. That’s fine.” Blowhard Bob backed down. Jed Worth. I scrambled to remember what my secretary had printed out for my background files about the CEO of Worth Industries. All I could recall, though, was that he was a little younger than thirty-five, a lot richer than any guy had a right to be, and a hell of a lot smarter than me or Bob or anybody else in this room for sure. He had taken a dwindling fortune inherited from his grandfather and turned it into a modern conglomerate, computers mostly, but what they liked to call adaptable these days. Jed Worth was one smart cookie. But who knew he was so sexy? Why the hell hadn’t that been in the bio information? Or maybe, like, a picture of him? I organized my papers in the appropriate order, last drafts first, and took out a blank pad, resolutely determined to ignore the complete and total awkwardness of the situation. See, this was why I never did hookups. That morning-after thing, possibly exacerbated by the β€œhe turns out to be the client on the other side” thing. His breath against my cheek brought with it a kind of a stress flashback to him moving above me and inside me, but I realized he was only leaning forward to hand me a pencil. β€œThis rolled off the table,” he said innocently. I took the pencil without looking at him. β€œSo you do things the old-fashioned way, do you, Angelina? May I call you Angelina?” I ignored the request to use my first nameβ€”the big fakerβ€” and concentrated on the old-fashioned comment. β€œI don’t know what you mean.” β€œPencil and paper.” I glanced at him. β€œNo typing your notes into a tablet?” he continued with a nod of his head toward the troop of young associates who were doing just that. β€œNo. And they’re probably just surfing the internet so they don’t have to listen to Bob.”
