The love within
Cassandra had been in a daze all day, the rosy flush on her delicate pale cheeks refusing to fade. Even while handing documents to Tony, she couldn't meet his deep, narrow eyes. The usually assertive woman now carried a softer, more vulnerable air-something Tony found unexpectedly... alluring. How had he never noticed this side of her before? His gaze lingered on her chest; he swallowed hard, heat flaring low in his gut. Damn it. Every time he saw her, his self-control threatened to crack. Noticing his stare, Cassandra's face turned crimson. Her ears tingled as she quickly looked away. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave, President Tomzy!" she blurted, fleeing to her office like her heels were on fire. She slammed the door behind her, hands flying to her cheeks. Her heart pounded wildly.
