My moan is quieted by him kissing me as he enters me. Hayes reads my body and goes slow the first few pumps before he works up to going deeper and slightly rougher. Every kiss erasing my thoughts, every thrust sending me close to a ledge. I feel completely full from his solid length, and the sound of his grunts drowns out my anticipation.
We’re already too deep into what is transpiring between us.
I’m greedy and try to take more, and I roll my hips and tighten my thighs around him. My head spins as he continues to hit me against that spot deep within. Our breathing is labored as we work together. We don’t have time to prolong this.
That will be for another time.
The fact that it is already my expectation is a flag. One that I push to the side because I’m too lost in this bliss. It does something extra to me to know this man wants me this much, and I can’t help but keep him on a line because I want him.
Here we are, tightly wound and fucking in a bathroom.
He murmurs something into my skin below my ear. I can’t make it out, but it feels like praise. His body, his cock, and his commanding lips all have me anchored to earth, even if I feel like I’m floating. Our eyes catch as he slows but takes me as deep as he can. His force. Our breathing is music, and I feel his pulse matching mine. He captures my mouth, our lips meet, but not for a kiss; my moan escapes into his mouth as I hold onto his shoulders.
I’m barely hanging on, and when he begins to shatter, so do I.
It’s all a blur as every nerve-ending releases from the ache that had me crazed for him to touch.
My body is numb as he gently sets me down, and my eyes flutter to adjust to the light.He’s panting as he zips up his pants.
“So this is what you wanted?" I whisper, because the truth is that I just succumbed to his chase. The one that I believe I’ve wanted.
He helps me adjust my dress while our eyes hold. “It’s a bonus, but there are still many other ways and places where I can take you.”
I turn away and leave the stall with him trailing behind. My first view in the mirror shows a wanton woman, flushed, and completely over her head. Yet elated in every way. I walk to the sink and place my hands on the counter to gather myself and cool down.
“Is it what you wanted?” I hear him say, and my gaze snaps from the mirror to Hayes, who gives his shirt one last straightening before he sets his hand on the handle of the door to the ladies’ room.
I’m not sure how to lighten the mood to point out the setting of choice for where we had sex, or admit vulnerabilitythat I’m completely captivated by him and every second has been exhilarating and somehow right.
My answer is simply a subtle, wry smile.
“Thought so.”His look is smug before he unlocks the door and leaves me be.
With luck,the sitter had already gotten Lola down to sleep for the night. I flop down onto my mattress and stare up at the ceiling. My body is still buzzing.The last time I had sex was when we created Lola. And sex in a public bathroom? Yeah, that’s never happened before, nor was it on my Elodie-lives-reckless list. But that’s Hayes. He brings out another side of me.
I’m torn between grumbling with myself and letting my giddy smile break out.
The sound of my phone alerting me to a text message breaks my train of thought. I roll onto my belly and pick up my phone. One swipe of my screen and the smile wins.I can imagine Hayes’s satisfied grin as he wrote the text. Sighing, I flip like a pancake to my back, unsure if I’ll sleep or not. It’s either awake because of my thoughts or sound asleep because of my physical exhaustion. I read the text once more.
Hayes
Next time I’d prefer a bed, but I appreciate how resourceful we can be. Get some sleep. You’ll need your strength if you plan on resisting me tomorrow.

Beans is buzzing as everyone arrives at work for the day, so we opt to find a spot outside the entrance in the main lobby, halfway to the elevators. We are out of the way and have a wall to lean against.
“Thanks for the quick coffee,” I tell Savannah and hold up my to-go cup in cheers.
“No problem. It’s sometimes nice to return to my old stomping ground from my assistant days.”She smiles as she straightens the lid on her coffee.
I got in early, which gives me a few extra minutes to get a listening ear. It only took thirty seconds for me to burst out my news, and she instantly stated she needed coffee for this.An extra shot, too.
I didn’t sleep last night. I kept thinking about Hayes and what we did. On one hand, it feels good to be spontaneous again, and it feels safe because I’ve only ever been spontaneous with him. But now I’m not 100% sure the next play, if any.
“So, you haven’t seen him yet this morning?”
