I hate how much I want him even now. "You're just jealous." "Of course I am." His voice is rough. "I'm jealous of every second he gets with you." I swallow hard. "Jamal is gay. I could never see him as anything but my boss." Nonso stills. Then a short, disbelieving breath escapes him. "You really believe that?" The question hangs between us like smoke. He doesn't wait for an answer. Instead, he kisses me...deep, demanding, claiming. My hands fist in his shirt before I can stop them. When we break apart, both of us breathing hard, he rests his forehead against mine. "If Jamal is really gay..." His fingers trace my hip. "...then I have nothing to worry about." I study his face, heart still racing. "No. We're not doing this anymore."
