sexual experiences. He was not a Neanderthal.
“I find sex a satisfactory stress-reliever but, like you, I do not indulge as often as some might expect.” Enzu wasn’t celibate by any stretch, but he was not and never had been a player like his brother, either.
He worked sixty-hour weeks, rarely taking days off—even on the weekend; Enzu didn’t have time for a lover, or even frequent hook-ups.
Audrey winced, cherry-red washing over her cheeks. “I don’t indulge at all.”
“Not at all?” he asked with some measure of disbelief.
“Not ever,” she admitted, as if it was painful to do so. “I’ll understand if you want to end the interview right here. It was a reasonable assumption that I would have at least some experience.”
He wasn’t sure why she thought he’d want to cut short the interview, but he was a lot more interested in her claim of total inexperience than just why she thought he would see it as a strike against her.
Strangely, the urgency of his physical attraction to Audrey only increased at the knowledge of her innocence.
“You’re saying you are a virgin?”
“Yes.”
“But you were engaged.” The relationship had ended shortly after Toby moved in with his sister. A formal retraction had even been printed in the paper.
“We were waiting until our wedding night.”
“People still do that?” he asked, bemused.
“To hear my parents tell it, anyone with a conscience does.”
“They seem to be rather narrow-minded.”
“You think?” she asked with some sarcasm. “They’re also hypocrites. My oldest sister was born seven months after their wedding day. And she was not a preemie, no matter what my mom claimed later.”
Enzu laughed cynically. “While your virginity comes as a surprise, your parents’ double standard does not.”
Audrey nodded and then rose gracefully to her feet. “Right. I appreciate you considering me. I hope you find someone suited to both you and the children.”
He stood, too, coming around his desk and blocking an easy exit from his office. “This interview isn’t over.”
“It’s not?” Her forward momentum had taken her to within inches of him before she stopped.
Her scent, a soft floral fragrance, teased his senses. Arousal spiked through him and he had to control the urge to reach out and touch. “No. Surely you realize that it is my responsibility to determine when this interview is over?”
“Yes, of course.” She stepped back.
He followed her.
Chocolate-brown eyes widened, but she didn’t try moving back again. Perhaps she realized to do so might well trip her backward into her chair in a less than dignified manner.
“I have several more things to discuss with you.”
She swallowed, her gaze stuck on his mouth in a gratifying way. The attraction was not one-sided. He smiled.
She inhaled sharply and then shook her head, like she was trying to clear it. “But I thought...”
“It would take an insecure man to be intimidated by a lack of experience in his possible future sex partner.”
“Oh.”
The breathy little sound went straight to his sex. “Do you think I am insecure man, Audrey?”
