“Great to hear that it is working well for you. What do you think of the hospital here?” I ask, keen to get his perspective.

“They are great, really professional, and offer a lot of different options depending on your diagnosis. They offer an individual approach.” I nod.

“Sorry to interrupt, but we need to be making a move,” Oscar says, coming to the bed, giving Tony a small smile and a nod.

“Thanks for visiting, Harrison. And Beth, it was lovely chatting with you. I wish you both the best of luck in a few weeks’ time at the polls. I will be voting for you.”

“I appreciate it,” I say, shaking his hand again, before Beth leans over, giving him a small hug, which brings an even bigger smile to his face. And although no words fall from his lips, I know exactly how he feels.

The storm hasn’t letup all day. I lean back in my office chair and watch Beth at her desk. She is on the phone, confirming our meetings for later in the week, and I admire her openly with no one else around. Something I catch myself doing more and more, especially when we work late, which is often. Another loud clap of thunder comes from outside and I see her jump in her chair, which she has been doing all day.

Out the window, there is nothing but miserable gray clouds, and I think about my weekend schedule. We have been busy this week, and Beth, Oscar, Eddie, and I have been working long days, pulling together information on our policies and working with our finance team on our budgets. Constantly refining and adjusting as new information comes in. As promised, I got a public letter of support from Arthur. Things weren't bad before Beth came on board, but they are certainly better than they have ever been. If only I could stop looking at her and concentrate on the policy paperwork in front of me, but the itch to have her hums through my body, it being too long since I saw her fabulous naked body.

We haven’t had a lot of alone time this week… and she is all I have been thinking about. Now, as I watch her in her office, her desk only a few feet away from me, her rose scent wafts into my space and the urge I have to bend her over my desk is at the forefront of my mind.

“Am I interrupting?” Eddie asks me as he stands in front of my desk. I didn’t hear him come in and he is looking at me like the cat who has caught the canary.

“What do you want?”

“Sorry to interrupt your viewing pleasure…” he says, raising one eyebrow at me.

“Watch it…” I warn him.

“The dinner event you had scheduled tonight at the outdoor atrium in the city has been canceled. Obviously,” he says, waving his hand to the window, as we both watch the rain teem down outside.

“So now, dear brother, you have a rare Friday night off to do as you please. I wonder what the hell you will do?” he asks sarcastically as we both turn and look at Beth.

“Just know the media are camped out below the building. Obviously, news has been light on this week, and they are waiting for you to do something, so I suggest that the two of you keep a low profile,” Eddie says to me with a small smile. All my brothers know about Beth and I, and I appreciate the heads up from Eddie.

“Thanks,” I murmur, my eyes honing back in on the beautiful woman across the room.

“What? What did I miss?” she asks as she hangs up the call she was on and looks at us both in question.

“Harrison will explain. I’m off. See you Monday,” he says with a beaming smile.

“Oh, okay. Have a good weekend,” she says, stepping into my office as Eddie leaves, and I jump up from my chair as my office door closes, giving me the privacy I want.

“So what happened?” she asks me as I walk to meet her halfway.

“My event tonight has been canceled. So I’m taking you home.” I reach out and take her hand, bringing it to my lips.

“Harrison,” she hisses quietly in warning, her eyes darting to the door.

“No one is here, they have all left for the weekend,” I murmur to her as I bend down, putting my lips to her neck. I hear her gasp, the sound shooting me directly in my cock, which is already tenting in my pants.

“We can’t get caught,” she moans as her head tilts back slightly, offering me more of her. I move my hands around her waist and hold her to me firmly as I move toward her lips, peppering kisses along her jaw, wanting to taste her. Before I can, a loud clap of thunder bursts from outside and she jumps feet into the air, screaming.

“Beth?”

“Sorry, I just got a little startled…” she says as her hands rest on her chest and I notice her breathing rapidly as her eyes dart around outside the window.

“I'm taking you home,” I say, a little more sternly to try to jolt her out of her fright.

“The weather is shocking. We can’t drive in this!” she says, looking at me as though I am crazy.

“We are not driving anywhere. I’m taking you upstairs to my penthouse…” I say as I slowly walk back toward her, like I am approaching a frightened animal.
