“I find you quite distracting, Brayden.”
“It’s not me,” I said, as my heart picked up the pace. “It’s you.”
She smiled, and it was the most fucking beautiful thing I’d ever seen. “Do you like working here?”
I couldn’t decide if she was asking about working with her or reminding me of the no-fraternization rule.
“I do, except for one thing.”
“Oh?” Her lips rounded to a perfect O and I couldn’t stop my brain from wondering if that’s how they’d look when she had an orgasm. God, I wanted to find out.
“It seems wrong that I can’t kiss you.” Okay, so I hadn’t meant to step that far out of line, but then again, it was only a matter of time before we had to deal with this.
A slight blush came to her cheeks. “It is after hours, now.”
I quirked a brow. “So, the rule is only for work hours?”
She shrugged. “I’ll have to reread the policy, but the powers that be can’t dictate what we do when we’re not working.”
“But we are working.” I kicked myself for saying something so stupid.
“I guess you’re right.”
Think fast, Brayden I demanded my brain. “You distract me too, Terra.”
“Do I?”
I nodded. “Did I mention I’d like to kiss you?”
“Yes.”
“In fact, I’m thinking I’m willing to risk getting fired if you thought you might like to kiss me back.”
“Do you always talk so much before kissing a woman?”
Nope. Not anymore. I leaned over and brushed my lips over hers. It was a test to make sure she wanted this and it was something I was willing to risk my job on. From the first taste, I knew I’d never want to kiss another woman again.
I took her by the arms and lifted her up from her chair, pressing her against the desk as I sank into the kiss. This could be the only one I ever got, so I was going to make the most of it. I covered her mouth with mine, and slowly teased hers open with my tongue running along the seam of her lips. Finally, I was inside her hot mouth, her tongue dancing with mine and it was glorious.
I lifted her on the desk and stepped between her thighs, hoping she’d like to know the effect she had on me as my raging hard dick pressed against her.
She gasped. “Brayden.”
I stopped kissing her, and rested my head against her forehead. “Too much too soon?”
Her hands gripped my arms and I wanted to believe the kiss was so powerful that she felt she needed to hold on to keep from flying off.
“No. I want this, but perhaps we should take a moment before—”
“Before I fuck you on your desk?”
She laughed. “Yes. Is that okay?”
I nodded. “Yes, of course. I’ll just go home and take a cold shower.”
“Really?”
“No. I’m going to take a hot shower and jerk off thinking of you.” I wondered if I was saying too much again.
Erotic heat flashed in her eyes. “I have a toy I take in the tub for moments like this.”
Fuck, fuck, fuck…how was I going to make it home with my dick nearly busting out of my pants? “I’d do anything to watch.”
“Maybe someday.”
Okay, so I was probably going to have to jerk off in the men’s room before going home. My dick was already locked and loaded.
“Am I your first?” I asked.
She quirked a brow. “I’m not a virgin, if that’s what you’re asking.”
Dumbass, I said to myself. “No, I meant breaking office rules.”
“What if you were?”
Now I felt like an idiot. But because I wanted this woman more than just sexually, I laid it on the line. “I’d hope it meant it that I was special. Because Terra, you…you’re amazing and this is more than just wanting to fuck, for me.”
Her breath hitched, and for a minute I was afraid I’d blown the whole deal. But then she pulled my tie bringing my lips a whisper away from hers. “You’re special too, Brayden.”
The next day, I fucked her on the desk after work, that weekend I’d fucked her at my place, and by the end of the following week, I hadn’t been able to keep my hands off her, which meant I was fucking her at work during work hours. It was dangerous and thrilling.
While the initial thrill of a new romance eventually dropped to a simmer, it was still sizzling hot and I knew I wanted to spend my life with her.
As I pulled into the parking lot at work, I wondered what the fuck had happened to Terra and me. I’d used to tell her anything and everything, including feelings I’d rather keep to myself. So why couldn’t I do that now? Why hadn’t I told her how fucking hurt I was that she’d started looking into divorce? Why couldn’t I tell her that I loved her and I wanted to work out whatever the hell was wrong with us? How and why had we let us get so pulled apart?
I knew I needed to find an answer, but as I walked into my office, I turned that off and switched over to work mode. It was possible all my hopes and dreams for us were dead, and eventually I’d be supporting her and the kids while I was having to live alone in a separate house. We had the money for that now, but because I knew divorce was costly, I’d work hard to make sure I could keep her and the kids comfortable even if I wasn’t going to be living with them anymore.
8 Terra
I sat alone in the sunroom with a cup of tea enjoying a moment of silence now that the kids were at school, and I’d tossed a load of laundry into the washer. I thought back to this morning and the sizzle between me and
