She lets out a sigh, her eyes again scanning the office. “Fine. I agreed to no more dates after you busted mine up because you were jealous. You didn’t offer me the same promise.”
“You thought you would just waltz in here and find me fucking someone, right?”
“Maybe.”
“I’m such a bastard you actually think I would do that right before I was planning to go to your place and ravage you?”
“Is that what you do?”
“No.”
She lowers her eyes like she doesn’t believe me.
And yeah, I’ve had sex several times in this office, just not recently. All it would take was a call, and half an hour later, my dick would be in someone’s mouth without me even having to stand up. It was convenient, saved me a lot of time so I could keep working after a much-needed release.
“I haven’t fucked anyone in months, Holly,” I tell her honestly. “No one but you.”
“That’s hard to believe.”
“You either trust me or you don’t, but don’t you dare show up here again.”
That was not what she wanted to hear. Her brown eyes narrow with more heat than I’ve ever seen in them. “Why not?”
“Because I don’t want anyone to see you or speak to you. People would talk…”
“You’re worried someone would tell Lyla?”
“Yes, but I’m also worried that someone could let it slip and the wrong people would find out, people who would hurt you to hurt me.”
Holly considers that for a moment and says, “Like your rivals? Enemies?”
“Yes. Staying away is how I keep you safe. You think I don’t make damn certain no one follows me to your place? It would kill me if something happened to you because of shit I’ve done.”
“Oh,” she mutters softly. Then she’s walking toward me on those three-inch heels, disappointment but also resignation on her face. “I’ll go.”
“Good,” I say in relief.
When she gets to where I’m still blocking the door, waiting for me to move, I take both of her hands in mine and lift them to my mouth. Holding her gaze, I place a kiss over her knuckles on the left one, then the right to try and soften my dismissal, knowing she’ll take it as a rejection when it’s the exact opposite. I can’t fuck her in here where I’ve been with faceless women I paid to bend over or get on their knees.
Holly eventually gives me a small smile of understanding, so I release her hands and start to move out of the way. But then she throws her arms around my neck, holding me tight. I wrap my arms around her waist and soak up her heat, her sweet scent that eases all the tension in my body. Being near her is when I feel like I can finally relax, let down my guard, and just…have a moment of peace.
This woman, who is too damn young and my daughter’s best friend, has that effect on me every time, and it scares the hell out of me.
So while I gave in to her temptation, it doesn’t mean I can let it become more than physical, more than great sex.
That’s why I whisper in her ear, “Showing up here in this dress earned you one hell of a punishment tonight.” Holly stiffens in my arms but doesn’t move as I add, “Keep it on and let me rip it off you later.”
I’m about to let her go when she replies softly, “Yes, sir,” making me groan as I let my hands travel down her hips around to her sexy ass. With her reaching up to hug me, the hem is so high I’m touching flesh. Nothing but flesh as my greedy fingers keep squeezing and probing. I can’t hold in my gasp when I realize…“You’re not wearing any panties.”
“I couldn’t in this dress” is her response.
She walked into this bar in the shortest, tightest, nearly see-through white dress in fuck-me heels without any goddamned panties.
“You’re asking for trouble,” I tell her as I press the pad of my finger to the tight little hole I claimed months ago, now making her gasp next to my ear. “You thought you could just walk in here and I’d put you on your knees, bend you over the desk where everyone outside this door could hear you scream?”
Pulling my hand back, I smack her right ass cheek, making her jump.
“You-you don’t want me on my knees or bent over your desk?” she asks. Her face is still buried in my neck, but she presses her stomach against my not-very-subtle erection.
