EIGHTEEN
Taryn
––––––––
Afull bladder wakesme. I blink my eyes open to unfamiliar surroundings and quickly remember where I am. I smile to myself, glad I had stayed strong and not hopped into bed with my jerk boss.
Sure, he’d softened up a bit after I called him out on his bullshit, but I have zero expectations he’ll be nicer to me at work, so I am definitely putting that shield back up on my heart. I flop the covers back and wander down the hall until I locate the bathroom. As I’m about to push the door open, I glance into an open doorway and a gasp I can’t stop floats from my mouth.
Holy mother of crap.
Carter is asleep on his back, one muscled arm above his head, the other lying carelessly across his chiseled abs. That silver necklace he always wears glints in the sunlight and I can see every bump and ridge of his stomach, and the crisp white sheets are pushed down to where they barely cover his package. A happy trail of dark hair from his bellybutton disappears beneath the sheets, and his hipbones form into a V. My mouth literally waters as the early morning sun shines in over his golden body. I want nothing more than to pull back that sheet and take myself for a magic Carter ride. I can see he’s pitching a tent and know he’d be ready for me.
I squeeze my thighs together and force myself into the bathroom before I do something I’ll regret. After relieving myself, I walk back out quietly and can’t resist another peek into his bedroom. This time, he’s awake and catches me gawking, both hands behind his head against the pillow.
“Good morning,” he says quietly.
My eyes have a mind of their own when they travel down to the sheet hiding his very clear erection.
I clear my throat. “Good morning, boss.”
“Come here,” he says huskily, putting his hand up and using just two fingers to make me come.
I again squeeze my thighs together and obey, my body floating on its own into his room.
Do not fuck him, Taryn!
I repeat the mantra in my head.
Stay strong.
He pats the side of the bed and I dutifully sit.
“Did you sleep well?” he asks.
“Like a baby, honestly. That was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in,” I admit. I really did sleep like a rock.
“You don’t know comfort until you’ve slept in this one.” He gestures to the bed.
I swallow hard. “It does look very nice,” is all I can think to say.
He stares intently at me and I resist the urge to slide my gaze up and down his body. It’s so magnificent I can barely swallow, let alone breathe. Five years ago, it had been dark. I remember thinking he had a nice physique but I don’t remember much past that. I was so nervous and pretty distraught over my brother, so the memories are a little fuzzy.
But here I am now, with Carter again, wanting nothing more than to roll around in the sheets with him for the rest of the day, but knowing I better not. If he wasn’t my damn boss, I’d probably have already given in. But I know me. I’ll be too upset at work when he gives me the cold shoulder again. I’ll just end up feeling used.
I clear my throat. He’s still staring at me, but it’s not uncomfortable, it’s just very lust-filled and I need to get out of here. “So can you drive me home or should I call a car?”
“I will absolutely take you home. Do you need to be there at any specific time?” he asks.
I shake my head. “No, it’s Sunday and I have no plans. Just laundry and stuff.”Oh, my God, Taryn! Shut up!I clear my throat. “What about you?”
