• “I don’t care how much it costs to expediate the process, Louis. The potential profits will make it worth it in the end,” he said in a cool, matter-of-face tone as he rounded his desk and sat in his chair. He didn’t even look at me as he sat back and crossed his leg over his knee. He’d unbuttoned his gray suit jacket, and my eyes flickered down his torso. The crisp, white dress shirt he was wearing seemed to strain against his chest and abs as he moved and flexed.
• When I realized my mouth was hanging slightly open, I quickly pressed my lips together and tore my eyes from him. He didn’t seem to notice, though, as he continued talking on his phone, completely ignoring my presence.
