On His Terms Read Online Free

She’d either be open to it,
which would surprise the fuck out of him, or, which was the more logical
reaction, she’d slap his face and tell him to fuck off.
    Harold
grabbed his suitcase, nodded at Lawson and Rian , and
then turned to leave. Harold made sure to push things through quickly, but then
again Rian had many connections. Being who he was,
and having the kind of wealth he did, let Rian do
pretty much whatever the fuck he wanted. He made things happen for people, and
in return had things done for him. It was a never-ending circle.
    Once
it was just Lawson and Rian in the office, Lawson
leaned back and shook his head. “I was actually pretty surprised when you
called me this afternoon and told me what you’re planning.”
    “I
know, I could tell.” Rian removed his hands from
behind his head and rested his forearms on his desk. “I have to admit that
proposing this to Miss Case will probably have her getting violent, offended,
and end with her walking out and quitting.” That actually had this sour feeling
settling in Rian’s stomach, but he pushed it aside.
    “And
you want her so badly that you’re willing to risk that?” Lawson asked. “What
about anyone of the other single, not employed by you, women that are in this
state? You know many well-to-do women, many of whom would jump at the
opportunity to take on what you have outlined in the contract.”
    “I
know,” Rian said evenly.
    “Then
what is it about this particular woman that you would risk losing yet another
secretary, and having the possibility of her going to the media and bringing
this to light?”
    “If
she does, then she does. But it isn’t like the media hasn’t heard it all
before.”
    “We
don’t need another slam at your character so soon after your last sexual
partner decided to jabber.”
    Lawson
had a point, but Rian didn’t care. “I want her,
Lawson. There is something different about Miss. Case, something I want to
explore if she’s willing.” He leaned back in his chair, the thoughts and images
running through his mind playing havoc with his dick. He could see her in his
home, on his bed, and under him, taking everything he gave her, and showing him
that she wouldn’t give in easily. “She isn’t a pushover that is out to please
me because of who I am.”
    Lawson
stared out the window behind Rian and shook his head.
“I sure hope you know what you’re doing.”
    “I
do,” Rian said without hesitation.
    “I think the legal route that
you’re taking is better than what you’ve done in the past, but I have a feeling
this might backfire regardless.”
    Yeah, it probably would, but if
it meant he had Sorcha, even for one night, he’d take whatever fallout
happened.
    ****
    “But
he didn’t say why he wanted you to come in?” her friend Cora asked, looking as
curious as Sorcha felt.
    She
shrugged. “I told you exactly what he said. He was cryptic, and almost seemed
pleased with himself for some reason.”
    “So,
are you going to show up?” Cora took a drink of her beer and set it back down.
The little pub they were at wasn’t too far from the office building they both
worked at. Cora had been the one to get her the interview with Rian Hartford, and even though Cora worked in the law
office in the same building, and not for the enigmatic man, she had pulled some
strings.
    The
music around them was loud, peppy, and the latest dance song.The pub was small, but a lot of the
Irish community in this part of town frequented it because of the imported beer
and food they had, especially the college aged population. Sorcha stared at
Cora and shrugged. “Do I really have a choice? Before going into this job I
said that if Mr. Hartford needed my assistance at any time, for any reason, I
was there. I am basically his personal slave.” She growled out the last part.
    “You
really hate it there, don’t you? Makes me almost feel guilty for telling you
about the job,” Cora said genuinely.
    “Honey,
hell no, you
