I giggle at his breath, tickling my ear and sending a wave of goosebumps across my entire body. I can’t help imagining his hands rubbing soap suds all over the parts of me I crave for him to touch again. His hands feel so good on my skin, and his kiss is magical on my lips.

He also definitely knows what he’s doing in the bedroom, and hearing his suggestions only makes me crave him inside me again.Only this time, in several different positions, all day long…

“I promise, there are so many things I’d rather stay here with you and do. Believe me. It’s an endless list… But I have to go. It’s an important day for clients. We have a couple of meetings going on later today, and I have to prepare. I can’t miss them because the clients are so important to the company, and they’re huge investors. I’ll be home as soon as I can!” He kisses me again, letting it linger for a moment.

“Your shower suggestion sounds like a great way to spend a day off. Much better than being here alone,” I hint with a little laugh, hoping to subtly change his mind. Or maybe at least a moment where he picks me up and sets me on the counter, having his way with me before he leaves.

But I don’t luck out. “I promise, I’ll make this up to you,” he says gently.

“You better,” I joke, trying to sound less desperate than I feel. “Drive carefully. I hope you have a good day.”God, I really do sound like a wife.

“I will. Thank you. You try to have fun at home, too,” he says before waving goodbye and heading out the door.

As soon as the door shuts, I let out a deep exhale, realizing I had been holding my breath. His explanation of the things he wants to do suddenly has me all hot and bothered. It’s making it even harder to let him go now because he needs to take care of this mood he awoke inside me.

The more I think about the positions I want to be in with him, the more I crave his touch and the feeling of him again. These thoughts only make the way I am missing him grow stronger.

I don’t know why I’m missing him at all. It’s not like I haven’t known a life outside of the one we are making together. Still, there’s a feeling growing for him inside me that I don’t recognize.

Is this turning into more between us? Is his explanation, and admitting he wants me, something I need to focus on or throw out? Is he really wanting these things because his feelings are developing, or because he’s taking advantage of the female living in his bedroom?

Will I find out what he really wants before it’s too late and I end up hurt? What have I gotten myself into?

KADEN

I’m sitting in the conference room of EN Technologies, attempting to listen to two of my employees give a monthly report. I can hardly focus on the massive screen, though, my mind drifting back to Amber.

God, what I would give to be back in bed with her,I think as the employees’ words are flying over my head.Of course, her day off would have to happen when I’m stuck in meetings all day.

I try to shake myself out of my thoughts, needing to get my head in the game and focus on the presentation. It doesn’t last long as my thoughts shift quickly back to her.

I wonder what she’s doing right now. Jesus, Kaden. You are at work. Get your shit together. You are at work. Act like it.

I focus for a while, gazing at the charts and graphs presented to me. But my mind always seems to run straight back to Amber. I have serious questions, and I feel like my entire life depends on knowing the answers to them.

I’ve never wanted anything more in my entire life than I want to be with her. It can’t be possible that our actions, especially lately, have been fake. Right? I mean, I know mine haven’t, but I want to know what’s going through her mind,I think to myself, losing all awareness of the meeting around me.

I begin to worry, hoping that Amber feels the same way I do. It seems somewhere along the way, the spark I have always felt for her is now erupting into a full-blown wildfire. I’m not quite sure how I let it happen, but here we are.

I’m finally able to focus on the meeting again, trying to block the thoughts of our relationship out of my mind. I have a business to run, and my employees can’t afford me to be checked out. I’m listening attentively, nodding in approval of the continuing presentation, when suddenly my phone vibrates.

I glance down and notice it’s a text from Amber. My heart flutters with excitement as I rush to unlock my phone. As I read the message, my feelings quickly change from happiness to anger.

Hey babe, I hope meetings are going okay! I brought lunch to surprise you. I got stopped by an employee. He wouldn’t let me in.

My temper bubbles inside of me, suddenly making my body feel hot as I quickly text back.

Are you still here? Which employee?

Instantly, I see the chat bubbles pop up again, indicating that she’s working on a response. Finally, Amber’s message shows on my screen, worsening my anger.

I just got back out to my car. Chad I think. Why?

My anger boils over now as I read her text multiple times. I shoot her a quick response as I decide what my next move is.

My meeting is over now if you’d still like to have lunch with me,I respond, quickly running through the employees in my head to figure out who she might mean.
