Doukakis's Apprentice Read online

  Polly gave a slow smile and slid her hands down his back. ‘Red-hot. Scorching.’

  ‘In that case—I know you have a powerful work ethic, but you’re about to be unexpectedly unavailable for the next hour.’ Ignoring her gasp of shock, he scooped her into his arms and strode out of the office. ‘Jenny, hold my calls.’

  Jenny didn’t bother hiding her smile. ‘Yes, Mr Doukakis.’

  Mortified, Polly hid her face in Damon’s shoulder. ‘This is so embarrassing. And I have work to do. I don’t want everyone to think I’m a slacker.’

  ‘I’m giving you permission to take the next hour off, Miss Prince.’ Still holding her, he hit the lift button with his elbow and the doors closed.

  Laughing, overwhelmed by happiness, Polly kissed him. ‘Whatever you say,’ she said happily. ‘You’re the boss.’
