“Morning,” she says. “Do you want to go over the schedule now?” She’s so formal and serious. Like a stranger. Pain grips my chest. “Morning. Yes, let’s do it.”

She sits down and starts reading from her iPad. I don’t hear a thing she says. My eyes are glued to the movement of her mouth. I want to taste her again. Hold her in my arms and lose myself in that soft, hot body of hers. She finishes and looks at me expectantly.

“Thank you,” I say quietly.

“You’re welcome.” She stands up and leaves my office.

I want to follow her out and demand that we go back to the way we were but I can’t. Sanity prevails. I won’t force myself on someone who obviously doesn’t want me. All I need to do is ride this out. My feelings will slowly dissolve to nothing.

Still, it’s a torturous day. When I go to the cafeteria for breakfast, my brothers dig at me over my bad mood and Alec, and his big mouth tells Dylan that I had dinner at his house with my girlfriend.

“Don’t call her that,” I snap.

“Trouble in paradise,” Alec says mildly. “I told you it wasn’t a good idea to sleep with someone you’re working with.”

Dylan grins. “Way to go, bro. I never actually thought you’d go through with it. I guess wonders never cease.”

I eat as quickly as I can and leave.

Back in the office, Olivia only speaks to me when it’s necessary and it cuts me like a knife. I do my best to concentrate on my work which doesn’t care if I feel like crap.

The last straw, however, comes in the evening when Olivia’s day comes to an end. She peers into my office and cheerily says, “I’ll see you tomorrow.” And just like that, she leaves.

I stare at my door, expecting her to come back and tell me it was a joke. How can she act as if there’s nothing wrong? How can she be so okay? After she leaves, I work for another couple of hours, determined to get her out of my system. I’m exhausted when I leave the office for home.

My car, however, has a mind of its own. How else can I explain why I’m parked outside Olivia’s apartment building? I try to imagine what she’s doing up there but I can’t. I don’t know her routine. I should go home, my rational mind tells me. But I can’t bring myself to start the car and drive away. I will only leave when she tells me to fuck off.

I get out of my car and walk to the entrance. What the fuck am I doing? I hit the bell before I chicken out.

“Yes?”

“It’s me, Jace.”

She’s silent.

“Can I come up?”

“Okay.” Her voice sounds breathless or is it my imagination? I don’t care. She’s invited me up and that’s the first step.

The elevator would take too long so I take the stairs two at a time. I knock on her door and she opens it. I stare openly, my hungry eyes raking over her shorts and tank top. She’s got no bra on and if I’m not wrong, she’s not wearing panties under her shorts. I can make out the outline of her pussy.

“Do you want to come in?” she says.

My mouth is dry. I nod and step in. I’m obsessed with the thought that she’s not wearing panties. My dick hardens by the second. She closes the door and stands in front of me.

“Are you wearing any panties?” I ask her.

At first, I think that she’ll slap me but her features soften. “Why don’t you find out for yourself?” she says in a husky voice.

With a growl, I pull her into my arms possessively and kiss her. She makes a strangled noise and wraps her hands around my neck. I ravish her mouth and neck. I can’t get enough of her. God, I’ve missed this. I’ve missed her. Her lemon scent feels like returning home after a long trip.

I make space for my hands to explore her breasts, slipping them under her top. I inhale sharply when I come into contact with her bare breasts. I squeeze them, then rub her nipples. She whimpers with need and without interrupting what I’m doing, Olivia pulls her top over her head.

“Let’s go to my room,” she says after a few minutes of frenzied kissing and groping.

I don’t remember ever being as hard as I am right now. In her room, clothes fly everywhere as we tear them off each other. I sink to my knees and spread her legs open. I inhale her musky scent, before diving between her legs. Olivia grips my head tightly as I pleasure her. She comes undone several minutes later and almost pulls the hair out of my scalp as she orgasms.

I want this woman to be mine. I don’t care that we work together or that she’ll be gone in three months. I can’t have enough of her and not just her pussy. I like her mind and her personality.
