Then, one of his hands reaches for my hair… he grabs a handful of it and his grip is firm, leaving me helpless. He tugs my head back forcefully and my lower abdomen tightens at the move. He gives me a dangerous smile before his mouth descends on my neck. He’s sucking and licking, making me sigh out his name, as my eyes flutter closed.
When he bites, the sharp sting makes me whimper. Then his tongue is soothing it, and he presses wet kisses up my neck, along my jaw until he finds my mouth again. This time his kiss is almost punishing and I can do nothing but give in to his demands. He takes what he wants and then he takes some more.
I can feel the wetness between my legs growing and I rub my legs together, a wanton sound escaping my lips.
I feel his lips curve against mine in what is definitely a smug smile and I know. He’s going to be a demanding lover in the bedroom.
And I can’t wait.
The thought startles me into waking up from this lust hazed dream, tossing me into cold reality. Was I really just thinking of sleeping with Lucas?
Lucas gentles his hold on me. Now his kisses are soft and gentle until he releases me.
My breathing is harsh and I can already tell my lipstick is ruined. My legs feel weak now.
His hands come to rest on my shoulder, dragging me out of my thoughts, his tone is firm, “Nothing happens without your consent, Elise. I’ll wait for however long you need. I’m not going anywhere.”
I close my eyes and feel as if something heavy is resting on my heart. Leaning forward, I rest my head on his chest, the physical contact soothing me. “Lucas, I don’t know. There’s—a lot you don’t know. I want to – with you…” My words are coming out all wrong as I find myself unable to explain myself. “B-but I don’t want to be—”
Lucas cuts off my words, his hands cupping my face. He studies me intently, and then says in a gentle tone that pierces my heart, “Take some time. Sort your thoughts out. Then, come find me.” He then releases me and leans down to brush his lips against my cheeks in a sweet kiss. “Thanks for helping me with my tie. We should make a habit of it.” He winks at me and laughs when my face flushes with heat.
As he walks away, I hear the automatic sliding doors of the entrance close. I turn to look over but there’s no one there.
I feel uneasy but my mind is full of other distracting thoughts, so I let it go.

Lucas
With Oliver changing his contract terms, and the three companies that Caleb is acquiring, I’ve been knee deep in paperwork for the whole of the following week. I come in early and leave well after midnight.
Caleb, the ruthless bastard, is least sympathetic to my plight. If I didn’t have that kiss from Elise to fuel my soul, I would have been extremely irritated by just seeing her for a minute in the mornings.
The issue with Debra and Riley is at least resolved so that’s one thing off my chest.
I know I’ve not gotten enough sleep for the past few days. Just now, I lay on the long couch in my office, my shoes kicked off, my tie tossed somewhere in the room and my first three buttons of the shirt popped open. One arm is behind my head as I scratch my hair, idly, while the other is holding up a contract as I read the lines over and over again, looking for loopholes.
My legs are too long for the couch, so my crossed ankles are resting on the arm at the other end of the couch. I’m wearing mismatched socks and I wiggle my toes, absentmindedly.
It’s dark outside and I realize it’s been an hour since the office building emptied out. I wonder if Elise is home now with Sophie.
I smile at the thought of Sophie.
The little tyke has a carved a space in my heart just for her.
I’m quite pleased with the progress between Elise and me as well. She’s become comfortable with me, perhaps because she’s aware of some measure of my feelings for her, now. I do delight in the way she gets so bold at times. The whole thing over the tie had come out of nowhere and although I recognized her attempt at getting back at me, in the end, I walked away with the prize.
I’m not surprised she’s hesitant at the idea of jumping into bed with me or even entering into a relationship right now. I might not know the complete details of what happened between her and Darren but I know enough to realize it wasn’t completely consensual even if she trie
s to tell herself otherwise for her own peace of mind.
I want to find Darren Hall and cut off his dick with the bluntest instrument I can find in the office. A copy of Elise’s contract with him is on my phone, when I took pictures of it at her apartment.
I don’t give a shit about invading her privacy about this.
The contract is extremely thorough and very one-sided, aimed to cause maximum damage to her.
I don’t understand why though.
