      Her body erupted instantly, nipples drawing tight inside her thin bra. God, she hoped he couldn’t see them. Hoped he couldn’t—

      “Madison...”

      A sharp ping! signaled the arrival of the elevator. Jerking free, she took a hurried step back. Then another, struggling to catch her breath.

      She needed to escape while she could. “I’ll see you tomorrow for our meeting.”

      “And another game of cards?”

      “Cards?” Her brain was a huge mudslide of buried thoughts and emotions at the moment, and so it took her a second for the words to make sense. “Oh. You don’t have to be here for that, if you don’t want to.”

      The less contact she had with him the better. At least it was looking that way. What had she been thinking?

      She hadn’t been.

      Evidently neither had he, if his response to her living-in-those-moments comment was any indication. It had certainly veered away from the professional and into the personal.

      Her lack of dating life had shown its ugly face. She’d lapped up the attention like a lovesick teenager.

      “I’d like to be, if it’s okay. It gives me a chance to measure her abilities as well.”

      Two people stepped off the elevator, one of them giving Theo a wave that asked him to wait before heading toward them.

      Madison did not want to hang around. Her face was already burning. Someone was sure to notice, since she had the worst poker face in history. Theo seemed to be thinking the same thing. “I’ll see you tomorrow. Call me when you know a time.”

      “Okay.”

      And with that, she fled down the hall in the opposite direction of the approaching staff members. It would take her longer to get back to her little cubicle this way, but she didn’t care. Right now, all she was worried about was how she was going to face Ivy’s father tomorrow. Or keep herself from doing something else stupid. Like hurtling down a road that led from professional courtesy toward unprofessional crush.
