Frowning, I connected through to Gretchen. “Yeah?”
“Mr. Anderson, Ms. Lily Winthrop is here to see you. She doesn’t have an appointment. Should I send her away?”
I was out of my seat before Gretchen was even finished speaking. It was pathetic how eager I was to see Lily. She had spent almost every night in my arms, save for that one Sunday when Jerimiah took her out to dinner in celebration of her first work week.
It had been three weeks since our first night together, and still the thought of seeing her sent a thrill of excitement down my spine.
I didn’t think the reaction she brought out of me would ever go away. And looking at my parents’ relationship, and even the relationships my partners had with their wives, told me that what Lily and I had wasn’t going away.
No, this feeling would only grow over time.
I opened the door to my office. Gretchen looked up in surprise but didn’t say anything. And when I looked out to the waiting area, there Lily was, sitting on the couch. She had been playing on her phone, but when she heard me come out, she looked up, her smiling gray eyes taking me in.
I shoved my hands in my pocket, bewildered to feel a slight tremor in them, and stayed where I was, waiting for her to come to me.
I didn’t do that to be an asshole. But I needed Lily to come to me. I needed to know that she felt what I felt for her. Even a small fraction of it would do.
We didn’t say anything for a while. And I didn’t smile. Finally, she shoved the phone back in her purse and stood up. I took her in, from the navy-blue top she had on, to the white dress pants, and even the three-inch nude heels.
She wasn’t tall by any means, but the heels gave her some added height. She was curvy in all the right places, and so goddamn beautiful, my chest hurt just looking at her.
She walked over to me. I held out my hand, and Lily took it without hesitation, bringing her closer to my side. And I took a deep inhale, my shoulders finally relaxing.
“Hold my calls, Gretchen.”
“Will do, Mr. Anderson,” Gretchen said, hiding a small smile in her hand. Gretchen had been with me since the first year we opened. She was the very first employee I had ever hired, and she was as loyal as they came.
I knew she’d wanted me to settle down for a while now, like so many of my partners had, and I was glad she liked Lily.
I closed my office door gently behind us, and before Lily could say another word, I turned her around and pushed her against the door. Her gasp was swallowed by my lips, right before she let out a small whimper that just about tore me up inside.
I wanted to devour her whole.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I heard her purse fall to the ground with a thud before she wrapped her arms around me, and then she was kissing me back with equal fervor.
Had anything ever felt so right?
I didn’t think so.
My hand moved up from her waist, and I cupped her breast through her shirt. She let out a small groan against my open mouth, her movements becoming almost frantic the longer I played with her. My thumb swiped over her hardened nipple, but it wasn’t enough.
Impatient, I deftly unbuttoned her shirt halfway down, until her lacy white bra came into view. I pulled away from the kiss to take her in, noting the hard rise and fall of her chest, almost as if she was trying to get enough air in but couldn’t.
I did that to her.
I undid the front clasp of her bra, until those magnificent tits sprang free, then bent down to take one hard nipple in my mouth. She gasped and moved her fingers through my hair. The harder I sucked, the harder she pulled.
I couldn’t get enough. The pain only fueled me on, and I added in a gentle bite while making short work of the button and zipper on her pants. I pulled them down along with her panties, and the musky scent of her sweet arousal and sweat was like a beacon calling to me on a dark night.
It was titillating.
And I was so hard, I knew it wouldn’t take much for me to come. But first I needed to pleasure her.
I pushed two fingers inside of her roughly, and her hands tightened around me, her fingernails digging into the skin on my neck. I was sure she had drawn blood.
I didn’t care. I moved roughly in and out of her, and her eyes rolled back, her head leaning against the wooden door. I quickened my pace, wanting to see her come.
And when my thumb moved over her clit, she shot off, letting out a loud scream that was muffled by my mouth.
I didn’t wait for her to recover. I pulled myself out of my trousers, hissing when my hand brushed against my erection. God, I was so sensitive. And I wasn’t going to last. I fumbled in the pockets of my pants for the condom I had stored there.
Lily brought my attention back to her with a hard tug of my hair. I looked at her, frowning a little.
“I’m on birth control, Dereck. Just get inside me. I trust you.”
I let out a stuttering breath. She trusted me. Such sweet, sweet words. Even so, I needed to be certain. “Are you sure?”
She nodded and shot me a small smile. “I am. I know you would never do anything to hurt me.”
I nodded, wrapping my arms around her and pulling her closer. “Never,” I vowed.
I lined us up until the tip of my cock was at her drenched entrance.
