"I'm joking!" Aaron quickly explained, tightening his grip on her wrist.

Selena struggled, her breath becoming more rapid as she stared at him. "Is this supposed to be funny to you?"

With a quick motion, Aaron pulled her into his arms, holding her close. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to see what that woman was up to. I swear, I didn't let her touch me."

Selena scoffed. "Then what was she doing under your desk?"

Aaron sighed. "Picking up a pen."

Selena glanced under the desk and, sure enough, saw a pen lying there. It seemed she had walked in just in time-Valarie had barely gotten under the desk before anything could happen. Even so, Selena was still angry. She tried to pull away. "Let go of me."

Aaron held her tighter.
