“It’s no problem, sweetie. I can see how happy you make Tyler. I want to help. He’ll be crushed if you don’t go with him.”
Sammy nodded before Coda took off toward her office. She inhaled deeply and exhaled a few times in an attempt to calm herself. She wanted to attend the gala with Tyler. If taking Coda’s help allowed her to do that, then she would accept it.
* * * *
ON THURSDAY, THE OFFICEwas quiet. Everyone had left for the day, but Sammy saw Tyler’s light streaming from underneath his door. It didn’t surprise her that he was still there. He’d been working hard. She’d overheard Spencer and Jack talking about how impressed they were with him. She was proud of her man.
“Hi.” She walked into Tyler’s office, shutting the door behind her. “I’m getting ready to leave for the night, but I wanted to say goodbye.”
“Huh.” He looked up from his computer screen. “It’s after five already?”
“It’s almost seven.” She glanced at the ornate brass clock that sat on the shelves across from his magnificent mahogany desk. “Everyone else is gone for the night.”
“Seriously? What are you still doing here?” He leaned back in his chair. “You could have left two hours ago.”
“I’m bringing Jack into the twenty-first century. He needed some help organizing his computer files. I’m also helping him get his five thousand emails out of his inbox and into folders.” She laughed. “He’s stubborn, but he’s learning.”
“Sweetheart, this is a part-time job. You don’t have to stay here past quitting time.”
“You’re here.” She smiled as she walked toward him. “I like being where you are, even if you’re too busy to come out of this office.”
“It’s been a long week.” He reached for her hand and pulled her into his lap. “Are you all set for tomorrow night?”
“Coda helped me figure out what I should wear.” She thought about her visit to Coda’s penthouse on Wednesday night. She’d really enjoyed the alone time with her. Coda had been generous and warm. “She was great.” Sammy hoped to get to know her better.
“Yeah, she ripped me a new one for inviting you to the gala and not making sure you had something to wear.” He stroked her cheek. “I’m sorry about that. I wasn’t thinking.”
“My wardrobe shouldn’t be your problem.”
“It isn’t a problem, but I should have considered you wouldn’t have a dress for something like that.” He trailed his lips along her jaw. “You have to tell me these things, baby. I want you to have everything you need.”
“It’s all good.” She relaxed against him. “Coda lent me something. We’re the same size.”
“Next time, I’ll buy you your own dress.” He shifted her on his lap so she was sitting between his legs with her back to his chest. “You deserve to have nice things. I want to give them to you.”
“I don’t need things.”
“Don’t argue with me.” He slid his fingers along her thighs and under her skirt. “Your skin is so soft.”
She wiggled in his lap, feeling the hardness of his erection as he swept his hand across the silk of her panties. Heat filled her cheeks when she realized she was damp there.
“Now that I know you wear such tiny panties under these sexy skirts, I’ll never be able to concentrate.” He kissed the back of her neck as he moved his fingers along her covered slit. “Are you wet for me?”
She nodded, not fully believing what he was doing to her in his office. The sexual tension had been building between them ever since she gave him that impromptu massage.
“Will you spend the night with me tomorrow?” He continued to rub her through her panties. With each touch, the sensation between her legs intensified. “After the gala?”
When she opened her mouth to answer, nothing came out. She was too distracted by his other hand. As he kept busy under her skirt, he undid the first two buttons of her blouse, slipping his fingers inside her bra and moving his thumb over her aroused nipple. Her heated flesh ached for him. The attention he gave to her body through her into overdrive.
“I can’t keep my hands off you.” He caressed her neck with his warm lips. “I won’t rush you, but I need you in my bed. I can show you things, do things to you all night long.”
She wanted to know what kind of things, but she was too caught up in what he was doing to her now to focus on anything other than the moment.
“Will you come back to my place with me tomorrow night?” He pushed his fingers under the elastic of her panties, seeking out her entrance. “Please.”
“Yes,” she moaned when he dipped his finger inside her slit.
“I know I have to stop.” He kissed her hair. “You’re so tempting.”
