We so are going to be late for work.

“Shower time better be really quick.” I sit up and undo my bra.

“We don’t have time for a shower. It doesn’t matter. It means I’ll be able to smell you on me all day.”

“Won’t that just keep you worked up?” I walk over to my work clothes which are sprawled out all over the floor.

“Probably, c’mon, we have to go… now.” He pulls up his pants and reaches for his shirt while I head quickly to the bathroom to clean up and get dressed.

When I step out, I say, “Oh, and Aiden…”

“Yes?”

“You’ve got lipstick on your mouth.”

He smiles and kisses me one last time as we head out of the apartment and down to Mike for the trip to work.

Aiden takes my hand as usual and helps me out of the car. In my rush to get out, my foot grazes the floor mat and causes me to trip and fall headfirst, straight into him. Aiden catches me and helps me to stand upright.

I sigh when I see Mike trying not to smile. I can’t help but laugh at myself and my clumsiness. “I know, I know, always the entertainer, right?”

Aiden gestures like he’s zipping his mouth shut as we make our way up the stairs and into the foyer where Josie, again, looks at Aiden lovingly and eyes me cautiously.

“Yeah, Josie’s totally in love with you,” I whisper, easing into the elevator while Aiden looks over to her and grins.

“Morning, Mr. O’Connell,” Josie yells before the doors close.

I take his hand so she can see, and he chuckles under his breath as she frowns and exhales.

“You’re mean,” Aiden chides.

“No, I’m not. I’m showing her what’s mine,” I defend.

“I’m yours, am I?” he asks while cocking his head.

“You better be!”

“Okay, okay, I got it.” He puts his hands up in surrender, then quickly pulls me close to him, kissing me passionately. His tongue enters my mouth while his hand caresses my face, the other holding my hand. My body is already throbbing with need to be with him again.

The elevator chimes, but he doesn’t let go of me like I thought he would. The doors open, and Niall and Brielle are standing in the foyer waiting for us because we’re now half an hour late.

“Uh-hum.” Brielle clears her throat.

We part, and I stand back feeling somewhat embarrassed at our apparent lack of self-control, so my eyes drop to my shoes as I hear a loud huff. We walk out of the elevator toward Niall. I can’t look at him. I’m scared of what I’ll see written on his face.

“Father,” Aiden greets Niall.

We walk past Niall hand in hand to my desk. Still looking down, I sit and turn on my computer as Aiden continues to his office.

“Aiden! My office. Now,” Niall yells, making me jump slightly. Niall walks off toward his office and Aiden follows. Looking back at me, he rolls his eyes before he shuts the door.

Oh, crap. I wonder what’s going to be said. I sigh and look over at Brielle, who’s smiling.

“You two are so damn cute.”

“Thanks. We got a little carried away in the elevator. Do you think your father’s upset? He sure sounded like it.”

“Hmm… yeah, I’d say so.”
