“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I say, returning my gaze to the copier.
Sarah places a hand on my shoulder, which I don’t expect. I’ve worked here for years, but never felt particularly connected with my coworkers until recently. Still, I melt into it faster than I initially anticipated.
“I can see a difference in you since you’ve been with Kaden,” Sarah says, voice soft and soothing. “It’s like letting yourself ease into a hot spring. At first, it's too much, overwhelming, easy to stop and abandon. But if you do it slowly, let your body adjust, you will find it life-changing.”
I want to scoff at her, but I know she is right. If I let my body give into what I am feeling, it will flourish, and I will become more than what I was yesterday.
I finish making copies, and I thank Sarah. She gives me a nod and a wink before giving a final bit of advice.
“Life is too short to be unhappy. Go with what makes you feel good, hon.”
“I will take heed of that,” I say back.
I continue working, watching the clock like a hawk. I want today to be done so I can get through tomorrow. Then I will get to see Kaden. I try to let my body ease into my emotions the way Sarah had suggested, but I find resistance, as palpable as barbed wire around my chest.
When the clock strikes five, I gather up my things quickly. The chairman has already left, and most of my coworkers, too. Sarah comes to the desk and remarks that there is a stud waiting for me outside.
I frown. Kaden is supposed to be back tomorrow.
“I think you will like what you see,” Sarah says.
I excitedly gather my things from lunch, my jacket and my purse. Hands full, I move quickly out the glass doors. I don’t want anyone to see me rushing, so I wait by the elevator, trying to stifle the excitement that is now hammering inside the cages of my ribs.
I take the elevator down with a few other people, and I stand at the back. I can hear my heart in my ears as the doors finally part on the lobby level, and I resist the urge to clamor through the crowd.
Once everyone leaves, I finally see what Sarah was talking about. I feel my heart being struck like a gong when I see him standing nearby in a beautiful black and blue suit, cradling bright violet lilies in his arms.
When I move to him, I am floating. He is looking at me from a fair distance away, but I can still feel his icy blues capturing me, calling to me. I go to him, my body feeling wonderfully weak.
“I thought you were going to be back tomorrow…”
Before I have a chance to say another word, he sweeps me into his arms with his free hand. I gasp, feeling his hand on my lower back, and let him press his mouth against mine.
His power is unquestionable, and I want to give into it. I drop everything, letting my coat and other items fall to the floor. I wrap my now-free hands around his head, and I push my tongue into his mouth. I have missed him dearly, as has my body, waiting for him to return to place his mouth everywhere all over me.
We kiss erotically in the lobby for an unforeseen amount of time. I can feel my heart beating through my blouse, wanting to burst out and take him inside me, again and again.
When we part, we are both restless. I smile at him, knowing that my pupils are massive and hungry looking.
“Hi,” he whispers.
I run my hands through his hair, disrupting the gel he has caked through it. I tug on it playfully, and he lets out a soft chuckle.
“That’s quite a greeting,” I whisper back.
“I missed you,” he purrs.
“Then why don’t you show me how much you missed me?”
Kaden bites his lip, then proceeds to gnaw on my neck. I let out a small, sultry gasp, thankful that there isn’t anyone left in the lobby. But even if there was, I don’t think either of us would care.
“Let’s get home,” he says keenly, taking me by the hand and rushing outside. I quickly pull back, needing to collect my items once more. Hastily, he helps, erratically snatching items off the ground in a hurry.
I laugh as we go to his car, slide into the back and begin to make out again. His hands are all over me, rubbing on my thighs, the lilies having been abandoned on the leather sat next to us. I start to know and understand exactly what Sarah meant. Holding him close as is humanly possible is transcendent, supernatural almost.
I want to sink into him the way he sinks into me. There is no pullback on his passion as he kisses me, wandering over my neck in the backseat, teasing my center as he rubs over my dress pants. I groan and laugh, whispering his name into his ear and watch as goosebumps rise up like bubbles over a pond.
We finally part long enough to drive ourselves home, where we can enjoy each other more fully. Still, the long drive is almost unbearable. I want him now.
