'Not a clue what you mean, Brenda.'
She frowned, maybe unwiling to go there. 'Oh, okay, if
you hadn't heard. But people are saying it, so I thought
you knew.'
'What would that have to do with me, anyway?'
Brenda looked uncomfortable. 'Wel, you have lasted
longer than any of his other assistants.'
I raised an eyebrow.
'Not that I think you and Paul,' she said. 'You know.'
I lifted my chin toward the bathroom at the end of the hal.
'I have to run. Good luck with the interview.'
She nodded and turned on her heel. I watched her for a
moment before I went into the bathroom, where I ran cold
water in the sink and dampened a paper towel to press to
my forehead and against the back of my neck.
I wasn't my mother, but nobody here knew that. Months
ago I'd have been sick to my guts thinking anyone believed
I was fucking my boss, but now it simply didn't matter. I
knew the truth. So did Paul. Paul, who I was leaving.
I didn't need to use the toilet, but I went into the stal
anyway. I put the lid down and crouched there, my head in
my hands. I took a deep breath, but the scent of ammonia
and those nasty pink toilet cleaners overwhelmed me and I
covered my nose and mouth with my hand. I tried to catch
a whiff of Austin, but could only faintly smel the lotion I'd
smoothed on this morning.
smoothed on this morning.
I could remember, though. How he smeled. How he felt
and tasted, and not just because of last night and this
morning.
From before.
I am, too.
'Pul it,' I tel him. 'Harder.'
His fingers tighten but he doesn't pul. 'I don't want to hurt
you, Paige.'
I want him to hurt me. He's bigger than me. Stronger. He
holds my heart in his hands every day and doesn't break it,
at least not very much. But I want him to hurt me now, in
this moment, when my cunt is clutching on his cock and
I'm ready to burst into an orgasm that wil blind me. I don't
know why. I just want it, and I want Austin to be the one
know why. I just want it, and I want Austin to be the one
to give it to me.
'Pul my fucking hair!' I grit out the words around a groan.
