And he knew by the way she felt in his arms he’d want to do it more than once.
Dammit.
Eventually, the need to breathe took dominance and their mouths parted. Panting, they stared at each other.
“Holy shit,” Olivia said, touching her lips.
“You need this,” Fletcher said, gruffly. “Ineed this.” His fingers dusted the skin at her neck, and she shivered. “I’m done denying this, Liv.”
“It’s not that simple.” Her nails pierced through his shirt as she clenched her fingers. “There are things you don’t know.”
What?
He took her chin. “Tell me.”
“Sammy...”
“I’ve met Sammy. You know that.” He frowned, confused. “We can go to my place.”
She shook her head and began to pull away.
“Stop,” he ordered her.
He needed more information.
“If this is about your job, I promise I will ensure we’re discreet, and no one finds out.” He wondered for a split second if he really could, then shook his head.
No, he would absolutely protect her.
But he had to have her. Not because he needed sex. This was more. His cock was desperate to be inside her, and he was experienced enough with women to see the painful need in Olivia’s eyes.
“It’s not that. Well, it is. But its... I just can’t. We can’t.” Olivia’s forehead dropped to his chest and his heart missed a beat.
“Liv.” He softened his tone, his hand cupping her head. Slowly, she lifted her head, and he stared down into her blue eyes. “Please talk to me.”
His phone beeped.
“Ignore it. Talk to me.” He dropped his lips to hers more gently this time. She kissed him back. “I promise this will remain our secret. Nobody needs to find out. Or, if you feel like I’m pressuring you, I will stop. Immediately.”
“No,” she said, and her eyes turned serious. “I do want you, Fletcher. You can feel that.”
He nodded.
God, could he ever.
He waited, sensing she wasn’t finished talking.
She let out a sigh.
“My ex-husband. He took my daughter from me once, and could do it again.”
Fletcher frowned. “I feel like I’m missing something. How is your sex life any of his business?”
Olivia sighed.
“It’s a long story, but he’s out there right now with his new wife, watching my every move.”
Fletcher felt his body tense into a protective mode he didn’t know he had. “Has he threatened you?”
