Josefina has hidden many secrets she is too ashamed to share
with anyone, especially Seth. When they cross paths again, the urge to relive

Excerpt
“Are you nervous, Mr. Stewart?” She smirked. Her eyes were
beaming playfully.
“No, not at all.” My pitch came off
higher than I had expected, and I was upset with myself. I had to fix that. “I
mean—” I cleared my throat. Two can play at this game, I thought. I squared my
shoulders and sat up tall. “So, Josefina Anders, let me ask you some questions
before I decide if I want to hire you.”
Her brows lifted, most likely
wondering if I was being serious or joking. Dropping her crossed leg, she
pulled the chair closer to the table. Josie pulled a piece of paper out of an
envelope that I hadn’t seen a second ago, tucked away behind her back. She
placed a resume on my desk. “Ask away.”
“How long have you been a waitress?”
“As long as I can remember. I got
hired right after high school.” She pointed to her resume. “You can see that
I’ve only worked at a few places, but I’m loyal and a good employee.”
“You’ve been a waitress for a long
time, Ms. Anders. Do you think you’ll ever get sick of it?”
“Not if it means I get to see Mr.
Stewart.” Her lips curled wickedly.
“Do you wear thongs or granny
panties?”
Josie’s lips puckered, stopping
herself from busting up. “Mostly thongs, but I’m not wearing anything under my
skirt at the moment.”
Holy shit! I was trying to make her
blush, but this was backfiring. Ignoring her last words, though it was
extremely difficult to do, since all I could do was envision her with her skirt
off, I continued, “Do you like to be on top or bottom?”
“I will be in whatever position
pleases Mr. Stewart. I’m very flexible.”
