Introduction
«Blaze». Su voz era un susurro en un mar de emociones.
«Qué tímido». Él le dio la orden y ella solo pudo quedarse callada, ni siquiera sabía qué decir.
Sus manos no pararon de moverse, hasta que se posaron por encima de su corazón. Él la miró y supo, por los latidos de su ritmo cardiaco, cada vez mayor, que ella lo quería casi tanto como él la quería a ella.
«¿Cuánto tiempo ha pasado, Juliette?» Su voz es aguda.
«¿Cuánto tiempo ha pasado?» Preguntó, poco a poco se le estaba acabando el aliento, con tan solo tocarlo. Este hombre la volvería loca.
«¿Cuánto tiempo ha pasado desde que te tocaron de esta manera?» La miró fijamente a los ojos como si se tratara de una conversación normal que pudiera mantenerse en cualquier momento o lugar.
Blaze notó su expresión y adivinó: «Era él, ¿no?» Juliette asintió en señal de confirmación
«¿Te importa si cambio eso?» Preguntó
Chapter 1
Juliette se sentó detrás de su escritorio, terminando diligentemente sus informes, y luego hizo una nota mental para enviar recordatorios al resto de los empleados sobre la gran presentación programada para el próximo mes. Puede parecer mucho tiempo, pero con todo el trabajo que se estaba realizando en la empresa, todos necesitaban recordatorios de que el día se acercaba rápidamente porque aún quedaba mucho trabajo por hacer.
Todavía estaba escribiendo cuando el teléfono en su escritorio comenzó a sonar. Dando una última ojeada a la página, levantó el teléfono, sin concentrarse del todo.
—Oficina del Sr. Blaze Matthews, ¿en qué puedo ayudarle? —habló cortésmente al teléfono—. Sí, Sr. Crane, ¿puede esperar un momento, por favor? —Puso la llamada en espera y marcó para su jefe.
—Sr. Matthews, el Sr. Crane ha llamado para confirmar su cena de negocios a las ocho de esta noche —habló firmemente al teléfono y simplemente recibió un breve—. Dígale que está confirmado —y la línea se cortó.
—Sr. Crane, el Sr. Matthews se reunirá con usted allí —esperó mientras el hombre hablaba y luego dio una despedida final—. De nada, que tenga un maravilloso día —y la llamada terminó.
Ser secretaria consumía mucho tiempo, siempre había algo que hacer en la empresa: archivar, organizar citas, reclutar y capacitar, y una serie de otras tareas, pero no le importaba, le gustaba su trabajo.
Juliette estaba en medio de escribir cuando el teléfono sonó, solo pudo sonar una vez ya que respondió rápidamente. Tan pronto como contestó, una voz calmada pero disuasoria resonó.
—En mi oficina ahora —la llamada terminó, Juliette colocó el teléfono y se levantó sin prisa, alisando su vestido negro y sencillo de manga larga hasta la rodilla que se ceñía a su cuerpo.
No estaba lejos de la oficina de Blaze, de hecho, estaba ubicada justo enfrente. Abrió las puertas dobles y entró, vio que él estaba sentado detrás de su escritorio, obviamente trabajando. Juliette siempre admiraba eso de Blaze; su fuerte ética de trabajo, pero al mismo tiempo le daba lástima, nunca se le veía con una mujer que no pareciera una modelo, siempre mujeres delgadas, hermosas y con piernas largas. Mientras que Juliette medía apenas un metro sesenta y tenía la figura de un reloj de arena.
Se paró a solo quince centímetros de su escritorio y esperó, él le hablaría cuando estuviera listo. Finalmente, él levantó la vista y la miró, sus ojos azules se fundían casi demasiado perfectamente con su traje. Ella trató de no pensar en cómo el azul le recordaba al mar, lleno y capaz de enormes emociones, o en cómo su mandíbula dura y su cuello fuerte se enfatizaban con la fusión de los azules.
—¿Has enviado los recordatorios a los trabajadores? —preguntó, y fue recompensado con un breve—. Lo he hecho, pero dudo mucho que me hayas llamado aquí para preguntar eso —replicó ella.
—¿Cómo lo sabes? —preguntó una vez más y se sintió incómodo al ver que ella parecía mirar directamente frente a él. Juliette nunca lo miraba como lo hacían otras mujeres, y no se sentía como un objeto decorativo a su alrededor, pero, sin embargo, el hecho de que ella no pareciera importarle en absoluto lo incomodaba, pero, por otro lado, eso era lo que la hacía la mejor mujer para el trabajo.
—Podrías haberme preguntado por teléfono —sonrió cortésmente. Normalmente, él despediría al hombre que tuviera el valor de hablarle así, pero ella era diferente. Había tenido sesiones uno a uno con ella para discutir presentaciones y conceptos, ella lo desafiaba, lo hacía mejor en lo que hacía; ¡y él ya era el mejor! Ella era una joven inteligente. Con solo veinticinco años, era una excelente secretaria y manejaba su trabajo con facilidad.
—Tienes razón, como de costumbre —respondió y se sintió internamente nervioso al ver que ella no mostraba ni un atisbo de emoción, la mayoría de las mujeres sonreirían seductoramente si él les dijera eso—. Necesito un favor —dijo, levantándose de su escritorio para caminar al frente de este; apoyándose en él, cruzó los brazos sobre su pecho.
Juliette lo miró con igual intensidad e hizo un gesto para que continuara, apartando su mirada de él una vez más.
—Mi hermana se casa en un mes y pronto haré un viaje a casa.
—¿Entonces quieres que programe la fecha, ponga recordatorios? —preguntó Juliette antes de que él pudiera continuar.
—No exactamente, me gustaría que... fingieras ser mi novia —respondió, observándola intensamente, esta vez su mirada se dirigió directamente a él para mirarlo a los ojos, fue la vez que más tiempo sostuvo su mirada desde que entró, continuando así, respondió.
—¿Qué? —su voz pequeña y ligeramente indignada, pensó Blaze.
