“There is no word invented for it,” I tell him and he laughs.
He thrusts in and out, and my breasts bounce on my chest with each movement. It feels so fucking good. My breath comes out in rasps. Jace picks up his speed and fucks me faster and faster.
“Oh, God.” I follow up with a bunch of nonsensical words, all of which are made-up words because like I told Jace, there are no words for the pleasure I’m experiencing.
“I was going crazy today at the office,” he says without going breathless. “Fantasizing about this moment.”
Insecurity takes hold of me, pulling me from the moment. “Is it anything like you imagined?”
“Nothing can compare to the real thing,” Jace says and slams into me.
We go at it with animal fierceness. Whatever happens after this will be worth this pleasure. Within minutes, I’m teetering on the edge of a climax. I rock my hips to meet his thrusts and then it happens. I come in cascading waves and Jace unfolds my legs and moves on top of me.
His breath grows ragged and I squeeze my inner muscles. He lets out a growl and his body tenses. He lets out a stream of curses which makes me laugh. It is unlike him.
“Do you always curse when you orgasm?” I ask him later when we’re lying side by side on the bed, facing each other. He looks deliciously untidy, a far cry from Jace the CEO who is always perfectly turned out.
“Never. First time.” He grins at me. “You bring out the best in me.”
I smack his arm playfully.
His expression becomes serious. “So what do you do when you’re not working?” He pauses for a beat then continues. “I know you like reading. You like my sister-in-law’s books.”
I smile. Most men either roll away and fall asleep after sex or go straight to the shower as if they can’t wait to wash your scent off their bodies. Jace actually wants to talk. If only…my heart clenches. I wish I’d met him before I took this assignment. But that’s stupid. Our paths would not have crossed otherwise. We exist in different circles.
“I used to play tennis with my best friend, but I don’t do it so much now.” I hate the way I have to pass everything I say through a filter. Suddenly I long for normalcy. Two people who were attracted to each other and had sex. No lies and no promises.
Jace stares at me with an open gaze. He’s got nothing to hide. What would he say if he knew who I really was? I shudder at the thought and resolutely push it away. It doesn’t matter. This is just sex and I have no regrets whatsoever. After this, we’ll go back to our normal relationship.
“Really?” he says. “I love tennis too. I play every week with my father.”
“You must be very close to your family,” I say, a wistful tone creeping into my voice.
“We are, though I’m the odd one out,” he says, lightening the mood.
“How so?” I ask him. “I can’t imagine you being the black sheep of the family.”
He laughs. “I’m the only one who is not a doctor.”
I know that. I bite my tongue before I say the words. “Oh?”
He goes on to explain his parents' specialties and those of his brothers, all of which I already know. I ooh and ah at the right places and feel like an absolute jerk. I don’t like myself very much at the moment.
My stomach rumbles at just the right time.
“Oh, you’re hungry,” Jace says and pats my belly. “So am I. Let’s go eat.”
He gets up and offers me his hand. “The bathroom’s that way. I’ll use the guest one. Find me in the kitchen when you’re done.”
I grab my clothes and carry them into the bathroom with me. I stare at my reflection in the mirror and I don’t recognize the woman staring back at me. She had sex with her boss who believes she’s his temporary PA. Okay, calm down, Olivia. It was just sex.
I inhale a giant breath. It really was just sex.
Just because Jace is a good person doesn’t mean that he wants happy-ever-after with me. Think about it, I lecture myself. He wouldn’t get involved with a permanent PA. It doesn’t take a genius to know that would be looking for trouble. As the CEO of a well-respected organization, Jace definitely knows all the pitfalls of office dating.
I brush my teeth with a spare toothbrush in the holder. I clean myself up as best as I can, then dress. It feels weird wearing the dress I’d worn earlier and for a total of three seconds, I consider borrowing one of Jace’s shirts, then instantly dismiss the idea. That’s too intimate. It’s what people who are dating do.
I inhale the scent of food in the hallway and my stomach growls again. It smells wonderful and I can’t wait to taste his food.
