"Angela notified me of her recommendation to be your Grad Assistant next semester. Despite your self-confirmed reputation, I didn't want to risk waiting for your decision. I would be honored to work with you next semester. I believe it will be a mutually beneficial opportunity." She finishes with a nice, open expression.

Never losing eye contact.

No indication that she knows what's going on down south of my desk.

Focus.

"How can you be so sure you're a good fit?"

"Because I'm not annoyingly eager, I understand the meaning behind sexual harassment, and I'm not interested in being your friend. Work and responsibility are my first priorities. I believe we can make a great, efficient team."

Efficiency is one of my biggest turn-ons.

How did she know?

Not going to lie.

She could have said anything, and I still would have questions. But...she had me at "Angela".

I consider her for a moment.

Could I really do this? The prep would have to start now. I'd have to meet with her twice a week, expose myself to her beauty, intelligence, and most importantly, her ass.

God, her ass.

Okay. Alright. Okay.

"Ms. Swan…"
