He lets out a gusty sigh. “Yeah… every time I talk to her, she acts like the last thing she wants is to be in my presence. I thought I could wear her down and make her more comfortable by ordering from her bakery, but it hasn’t seemed to work.
“Hell, maybe it’s getting worse. Thank goodness I’m a stubborn son of a bitch. I’m not giving up on her. She’s mine even if she doesn’t know it yet.”
Daisy sets a couple containers in front of me. “Here ya go, sugar.”
“Thanks, Daisy,” I say with a smile for the woman that’s been serving food here since before I was born. She’s a permanent fixture at the Burnt Sugar. “Well, Amos, don’t give up, man. She’ll come around. I have a feeling it’ll be faster than you think. There’s something in the water when it comes to unrequited love these days.”
He laughs. “Guess I need to start drinking.”

Lani is bent over a box, unloading stack after stack of books. She turns when the bells ding, a broad smile spreading across her beautiful face when she realizes it’s me. My cock instantly hardens just being in close proximity to her. Having her in my bed for only one night isn’t nearly enough. I will never get enough. We’ve got our whole lives to try and sate this need I feel for her. Though I doubt I’ll ever be sated. It’ll be fun trying though.
“Hey, love. I brought you lunch, can you take a break?”
She blushes at my endearment then turns her head like she’s considering my question. “Well, I don’t know,” she motions toward the stacks of boxes she’s unpacking, “I’m awful busy. Swamped, in fact.” Her giggle tells me she’s teasing me. “Let me lock the door and flip the open sign over.”
I grab her around the waist as she passes and give her a quick, yet passionate kiss, then pat her bottom as she continues toward the door. She squeals, giggling at my playfulness. While she’s locking up, I head back to her office to set up our lunch.
“Torin.”
I turn just in time to catch Lani as she launches herself at me. She wraps her arms and legs around me, her lips crushing to mine. The kiss doesn’t go from zero to sixty; it starts at sixty and ramps up from there. It seems my girl is hungry, but it isn’t for lunch. I grip her ass in my hands, pulling her tight against my rigid length. She pulls her lips away on a moan.
“Did you miss me, baby?”
Lani looks at me with hooded eyes. “Mhm…” she murmurs, moving her hips so she’s dragging her pussy against the hard bar of my cock over and over.
Fuck, she feels good.
“Baby, you gotta stop before I come in my pants. You’re killing me.” I tighten my grip on her ass, holding her still.
She wriggles in my arms, trying to get the friction she’s desperate for. “Torin, please…” she whimpers. “I need you.”
“Fuck.”
I cross the room to the small sofa and sit her down. I drop to my knees in front of her, flipping her skirt up, baring the white silk of her panties. I growl at the sight of how wet she is. Jesus, she’s needy.
Spreading her legs, I slide her panties to one side. Without hesitation, my mouth is on her. I lick her with purpose. We don’t have a lot of time, but I refuse to leave my girl hurting with need for me. I work her over until she’s moaning and writhing beneath me. Her hands fist in my hair, pulling until it’s painful, but I wouldn’t stop even if she ripped it out at the roots. Lani’s orgasm comes fast and hard. She screams my name, then collapses back against the couch, panting.
“Better?”
A sated smile curves her lips. “Mhm… much.”
I fix her panties and press a kiss to her mound before rearranging her skirt and standing. I adjust my cock, giving it a little squeeze to alleviate a little of the pressure. Of course, it only makes me want Lani more. Unfortunately, there’s no time for that. I’ve got to be back at the station in thirty minutes. Once again, I feel a wave of resentment. I love my job but balancing that love with my love for Lani feels impossible.
“What about you?”
I kiss her lips, hugging her soft body close. “That was all for you, sweetheart. Let’s eat.”
Lani gives me a little pout, her eyes flicking back and forth from my face to my obvious bulge. “I could…” she waves between us. I know exactly what she’s talking about. She’s offering to suck me off. As much as I would love feeling her soft little mouth wrapped around my shaft, sucking me dry… I’d rather wait until I have time to devour her for hours. A quick blowjob isn’t going to be nearly enough.
“Later,” I say, giving her a salacious smile that promises all sorts of naughty things.
“Later,” she says breathlessly. “I like later.”
I throw my head back and laugh. God, I love this woman. I just hope she loves me half as much as I do her.
Lani’s desk only has one chair, so I sit and pull her into my lap so we can eat. We spend the time chatting and eating. I soak up everything she reveals to me, loving every second. She shocks me by telling me she’s never been on a date before. Something I cannot believe. Someone as gorgeous and sweet as Lani should have had dozens of men panting after her.
“We’ve got to rectify that immediately. I’m taking you out on Friday night.”
She snorts a laugh. “Don’t be ridiculous.”
“Why is wanting to take my girl out ridiculous? Maybe I want to show you off to everyone.”
Her cheeks turn a pretty pink. “I just mean… we sort of
