“Overreacting?” Liesel stood up so quickly, her chair nearly toppled backwards. “When my father got sick, and I had to go take care of him in Germany, you told me you’d wait for me, that we’d make it work. I did everything I could to get back to you as soon as I could, but you couldn’t wait to be rid of me, your charity case.”
Keith walked around the desk, so he was facing her. “You were not a charity case. Goddamn it, Lis! You know you weren’t. But you were gone for so long, and I wasn’t sure you’d ever come back, especially when your visa problem happened.”
“So you go and sleep with another woman? That was your solution. Goddamn you, you bastard, you nearly destroyed me.”
“And you think it didn’t destroy me? I spent months not knowing if you’d ever come back, hating that I couldn’t be there for you, and yes I know I hurt you when I slept with another woman, but I made a mistake. I was looking for comfort at the bottom of a glass, and I thought she could numb the pain, but I regretted it the second it happened.”
“It was too late by then,” Liesel tried to angrily shove past him, but he grabbed both her wrists and held them as she squirmed and struggled against him. “let go of me, let me go!”
Keith released her wrists, and as she stared up at him, her eyes filled with anguish and fury, she suddenly threw herself at him and began to kiss him.
Surprised, Keith stumbled back until he landed against the door with a thud. He reached behind his back and bolted the lock on the door before he hoisted Liesel up, so that she had her legs wrapped around his waist.
Liesel bit down on his lip hard, hard enough to draw blood, but by then they were too far gone to care. Too wrapped up in their passion for each other.
Keith tore his mouth away from hers and maneuvered them, so her back hit her desk. He set her down and began to kiss and bite her neck quite fervently. Liesel gasped as his hands moved to cup her breasts while he continued to leave bite marks all over her neck.
Liesel’s hands moved from neck, down his back till she left the hem of shirt. Keith’s whole body instantly shuddered as she touched him softly at first as she let her fingertips glide over his skin causing a ripple of goosebumps to gather in her wake.
Keith had one hand on her neck, and the other snuck underneath her shirt and lay down her breast. It tweaked one nipple gently, and Liesel moaned in surprise as her hips bucked forward.
Liesel impatiently began to claw at his back as she yanked his shirt off, so his skin was flushed against her damp shirt.
Keith eagerly helped Liesel out of her shirt, and her nipples stood erect as they brushed against his bare chest. Liesel’s legs wrapped around her waist as her hips began to move over their own accord.
Keith made a low guttural sound in the back of his throat as his hips began to move in response to hers. He reached behind him and undid the clasp on her bra and took both her breasts in his hands. He began to knead them carefully at first before he dropped his head to them and placed a gentle kiss on each breast.
Liesel arched her back and began to run her fingers up and down his back. The sounds of their moans were interrupted by the shrill ringing of her office phone.

They froze as they stared at the phone, trying to see clearly through the haze of desire. Liesel was the first to break eye contact as she dragged her hands away from her back and reached around to wrap grab the phone.
“Yes?” Her voice came out sounding breathy, so she cleared her throat as she listened to the person on the other end of the phone. “Today?”
Keith began to kiss her neck again, moving down to her stomach as his hands continued to play with her bare breast.
He gazed up at Liesel who was gazing at him through lust filled eyes. She swallowed as Keith’s fingers brushed the top of her skirt, she began chewing on her bottom lip as she struggled to focus on what was being said.
Keith’s mouth moved upwards and began to suck on her neck. “Hang up the phone,” he murmered huskily as he gently bit down on her earlobe.
Her eyelids fluttered as she attempted to control her reactions before she finally swore under her breath. “Listen, Liv, I’ve got to go. Make a note of it, and we’ll talk about it later, okay?”
She slammed the phone shut and turned to gaze at him through hooded eyes. “That was important, you know.”
“Mm-hmm,” he mumbled as he kissed every inch of skin on her neck till he reached her breasts. He took one breast between his mouth, and he sucked slowly at first, then he sunk his teeth gently into her skin causing Liesel to moan in pleasure. “Keith, maybe we should stop.”
He released her nipple and placed a soft kiss before letting his eyes met hers. “Why should we stop?”
“Because I don’t know if it’s a good idea,” she said hoarsely as she rested her forehead against his.
“Lis,” he brushed her hair back and cupped her chin, so she was looking at him. “ I know that I hurt you once, and you have to believe that I know that I was a goddamn jackass for doing that to you.”
Liesel met his gaze, and he could see the fear reflected in them, but he could see that her fear was intermingled with longing, so he pressed on. “I regretted it every second since it happened, she meant nothing to me, nothing, okay? You were the one I really wanted, you’re still the one I want.”
Liesel studied him. “But how will I know that you really want me not just to satisfy your lust? I know all about you now Keith, you’re already building a reputation for yourself, other women might be okay with one night with you, but you and I both know-“ she met his gaze squarely. “I’m not like those women, I will never be okay with a one night stand. It’s not who I am.”
Keith nodded. “Of course, I know that.” He stroked her cheek softly. “and I’m not asking you to be that. We loved each other once, I know we were young back then, and things were different, but we could try to find a compromise.”
