“Oh yes, oh yes…” she heard herself mutter as her climax came fierce and strong. She was still trembling and had yet to recover when she felt him at her entrance, felt the slippery heat of him slide effortlessly inside her, filling her.
It felt divine having him inside her. As he sped her toward another orgasm, Angela knew she was on the edge of losing herself to this man, and not just physically. She couldn’t control or slow down her feelings any more than she could stop Daniel from moving in and out of her. She rose to meet his every thrust and he kissed her face, her neck, and she dug her fingers into his buttocks. And when ecstasy finally came, a million slivers of sublime pleasure spread through her and she sobbed out his name as she orgasmed. And in that moment, she realized how deeply she’d fallen in love with him.
CHAPTER 17
Daniel couldn’t focus on work. How could he when Angela had responded to him this morning with utter abandon? Something had shifted between them. It had been subtle at first, but he could definitely tell that somehow without him knowing it, they’d fallen into a relationship.
In Key West, they’d talked about a carefree, casual relationship. That’s what he’d thought he wanted. But now, when he wasn’t with her, he missed her, and he found a way to ensure they never spent more than an evening apart. And at work under his eagle eye, Angela was blossoming. She’d already managed to get a signed offer for one of the units in the new development by the strength of her own contacts.
She was on her way. Daniel wondered what that might mean. Would she need him anymore? He dismissed the notion. She still had a long way to go before she made one-tenth of his earnings in a year, but he was definitely proud of her.
More than that, he wanted to celebrate her big sale, which they’d yet to do since she’d had dinner with her parents, then he’d been preoccupied and she’d gone to bed angry at him.
He smiled when he thought about how he’d woken her up and how good she’d tasted as she came all over his mouth.
“Daniel?”
He glanced up to find Myrna in the doorway. “Yes, Myrna?”
“Several of us in the office were going to take Angela out to celebrate her big sale. You interested in coming?”
Daniel thought about it. He didn’t want the appearance of impropriety between them to hurt Angela at the agency. He was sure they’d already sparked some gossip when they’d both been absent on the same day, so he didn’t want to add any more fuel to the fire. He was still her boss. “You all go ahead.”
He would celebrate with her later. In private.

Angela anxiously tapped her feet at the reception desk while she waited with several of the other agents for Myrna to return. She couldn’t wait to spend some time with Daniel. After the revelation of her feelings last night, she was admittedly nervous, yet excited to see him.
So when Myrna rounded the corner without Daniel, her heart sank, but she plastered a plastic smile on her face anyway.
“Boss is too busy,” Myrna said.
“Of course,” Angela responded. “Let’s go, then.”
Throughout the lunch, Angela accepted praise and congratulations from her peers, but that’s not who she wanted them from. She wanted Daniel’s presence and his acceptance of her and how she was blossoming under his tutelage, but he was “too busy” to give her notice. She doubted that was the truth. Had he somehow guessed that her feelings for him had changed from lust to love? Did he need to let her down easy?
The look of worry on her face when she should have been celebrating caused Myrna to say, “For someone who just landed the biggest sale of their career, you sure don’t look happy.”
Angela laughed nervously. “Oh, you know how it is,” she responded. “Once I sell one, now I gotta keep right on selling.”
She knew her response was feeble at best, but she had to save face. She didn’t want Myrna to call her out. Hadn’t the young woman already warned her that Daniel never kept a woman for long? Why should she be any different?
When they returned to the office, Angela created a fake appointment so she could use the remainder of the afternoon for some much-needed retail therapy. She wasn’t upset with Daniel; she just needed to get her head back on straight. She couldn’t blame him if he didn’t feel the same way about her. She supposed she’d just been hoping against hope that he would fall for her as she had him.
