I heard him say good night, and then she went into the building while he returned to his car. The minute he was heading in the other direction, I sprinted toward the door, hitting the stairs, and taking them two at a time. I got to the top without even realizing where I was going, and Lexi was just pushing her door open.

I stepped in behind her, surprising her, and she squealed as I turned her around and put her up against the wall. My lips crashed down on hers, and it took only a moment before she began to respond to me, one hand curling around the back of my head, holding me closer, and the other gripped my bicep and squeezed.

I devoured her mouth, tasting the whiskey she consumed along with the tang of tomatoes from the Italian sauce she must have had for dinner. I didn’t let up, didn’t pause as my hands traced her sides, my thumbs brushing up against her breasts, and she whimpered slightly into my mouth.

I began to slow down, pulling back breathlessly and resting my forehead against hers. If I had wanted to push it, I probably could have taken her to her room and made love to her, but I wasn’t ready to do that. Not yet, but soon.

I stepped back, looking at her bewildered eyes, her flushed face, and swollen lips.

“Why did you do that?” she asked softly.

I cupped her cheek, running my thumb over her bottom lip, so fucking tempted to go in for another kiss, but I didn’t. Instead, I cleared my throat. “I wanted you to think about that kiss. The difference between the way you kissed him outside, and the way you kissed me. It’s me that I want you to think about tonight when you close your eyes, not him.”

As she continued to stare at me, I turned and walked out the door, closing it softly behind me. Fuck her boss, and mine, too. I wanted Lexi, and I was going to do anything I could to have her.
