CHAPTER 29
MONROE
Iwas stirred awake by Lincoln's thick, huge length working into me. His arms were braced above me, and his half-lidded gaze was filled with desire as he slowly pushed his way in. My hips tilted instinctively as he eased out and back in, over and over again.
Finally, he sank in all the way, and his groan of pleasure sent a jolt of electricity up my spine. "I had to be inside you, baby. I’m sorry," he murmured, pressing in deep then slowly pulling out to the tip before sliding back in leisurely. "I have to make love to you."
His words didn’t register all the way in my sleep-fogged mind. All I could do was bask in the sensation of him filling me.
"I love you," he whispered, nuzzling into my hair. "You feel so good, dream girl."
A tightness coiled inside me, and my hips shifted, trying to find relief.
"Monroe," he rasped, his breathing turning labored.
But I couldn't help myself. My hips pumped of their own accord, my body responding to him without thought or hesitation. Lincoln groaned as he pushed into me, his pace picking up fractionally.
"I fucking knew it," he grunted, his breaths coming out in ragged gasps. "Every damn time I'm inside you, I go insane."
His pace continued to increase, and I felt that delicious pressure building inside me. I clenched his length as I tipped over the edge. He buried his face against my neck, his tongue coming out to lick the sensitive spot behind my ear. His movements became tender and intense as he fucked me through my orgasm.
"I'm gonna make you fall in love with me," he murmured, his breath skipping across my skin, sending starlight shooting across my soul.
With a handful of final thrusts, his body shuddered and stilled as he licked down my neck, whispering, "I'm so fucking in love with you. I’m going to make you as fucking obsessed with me as I am with you, Monroe."
My mind struggled to catch hold of his words, to comprehend the urgency that seemed to imbue them. But it slipped through my grasp like sand, and I sank back into the hazy abyss of sleep before I could make sense of any of it.

I woke up to the shrill sound of my phone ringing. The sky was just beginning to blush with the early colors of dawn. I groggily fumbled for it and answered.
"Monroe, it's Dr. Kevin. We need to talk," he said in a serious tone, no sign of his usual flirtatious demeanor.
I sat up in bed, suddenly wide awake. "What's going on?" I asked, heart pounding in my chest. Despite his attention at work, he’d never called me before.
"Our accounting department discovered some money missing from the office’s accounts, and unfortunately, all signs point to you," he said, his voice heavy with accusation.
My mind was racing. Missing money? How could they think it was me? I wouldneverdo anything like that.
"That's not true! I swear, I would never steal from the company. I’ve always put the money exactly where I was taught," I protested, my voice shaking.
"We've already done an investigation, and the evidence is clear. We could turn you over to the police, but we've decided to terminate your employment instead. Consider it a small mercy, a chance to turn your life around.”
My heart sank. I couldn't believe what was happening. I was going to lose my job, and I probably wouldn’t be able to get a new one, because I wouldn’t be able to use them as a referral. How would I even explain this to a potential employer?
Tears welled up in my eyes.
“Please—”
“We’ve made our decision. Don’t push us to turn you in by making trouble.”
My lips quivered as I struggled to find words.
"Have a good life, Monroe,” Kevin finally said, and there seemed to be an edge of…sympathy in his voice.
I felt numb as he ended the call. My mind was racing, trying to make sense of what had happened. I couldn't believe I was being accused of stealing. I’d never stolen anything in my life. I was always careful to follow the rules and do things by the book. I didn’t even pick money up off the street, in case it belonged to someone else and they came looking for it!
It seemed like everything I had worked so hard for was slipping away from me.
