Mere seconds after Arley swipes her keycard for the elevator to take us to her secure floor, she’s being guided into the nearest corner. Trapped by both of my hands pressed firmly on the wall and my mouth mounted on hers. Rather than resist in the least bit she grips hold of my shirt with both hands and surrenders to the slow rolls being executed. Feeling her fingers lightly brush my abs threatens to make me groan; however, having her slide one hand down to graze my cock successfully summons the sound, prompting our mouths to fall apart.
“Do that shit again, Angel Cake, and I’mma have to start callin’ you trouble instead.”
She saucily smirks at the same time she playfully tugs on my shirt. “You started it.”
“True.” The shrug I offer is mirth-filled. “But in my defense, I’ve been waitin’ a long time to kiss you in this elevator.”
Undeniable excitement pierces her stare. “How long?”
“Since the day we met.”
Arley whimpers and rushes to push her lips against mine but unfortunately for us both, the doors chime open exposing us to Yi who is impatiently pacing the hall.
“Good morning, Miss Carmichael,” he immediately greets, frame coming to a complete stop to take on a professional stance prior to meeting my skeptical stare. “Wahl.”
“Yi,” I politely acknowledge in return and lift the love of my life’s computer bag off the ground for her.
“It’s nice to see you both back at the office,” the in-house security guard states as he steps out of the way to follow us.
“We had to come up for air sometime,” Arley good naturedly teases while continuing towards her office. “Pretty sure if we didn’t his neighbors might’ve filed a noise complaint with DPD.”
“Who’s to say they already haven’t?” I taunt back on a wink that gets her cheeks reddening.
“Ohmygod,are the neighbors really complaining?!”
“Do you care if they are?”
“Yes!” she squeaks, crimson in her face deepening. “That’s so embarrassing!”
“Or,” my hands find their way to my black tactical pants pockets, “flatterin’dependin’ on how you look at it.”
“Slater!”
My laughter can’t be contained, which prompts Yi to join me. “Oh yeah. You two are definitely in the early stages of a relationship.”
Huh.
We really are, aren’t we?
“And with that said,” he verbally begins a transition, “I need to thank you both.”
“For?” my girlfriend asks prior to keying in the code to unlock her door.
“Having my shifts switched.”
She tosses him a confused look. “Huh?”
“I’ve always been on the nightshift and for most of my stretch here, lobby patrol and control, but thanks to a request of transfer from the two of you, I’ve been promoted to daytime floor security.” The announcement surprises only her. “It’s helped my marriagetremendously.I get to actually spend time with my wife. And my kids. And the bump in pay that comes from a little extra work is gonna help us finally start saving for a family vacation.”
Awe immediately floods Arley’s stare, and afterward, she redirects it to me.
Getting him moved wasn’t a big deal.
And honestly, it wasn’tfor him.
It was forher.
While it was his fuck up of not walking her to her car that left her open to the attack, he was the one who handled getting her to the hospital. And calling me. And pulling in extra hours to canvas the scene eventually finding the cigarette butt that helped us track down Messina. Sothatset of actions combined with being able to eliminate him as the inside man is what led me to requesting a shift change for him to be on duty – in house – to protect Arley during this assignment. I need Blu and Reynolds hands on, so someone has to be around to ensure her safety. Thankfully, Seventeen considers her safety top priority and is more than willing to fulfill whatever request I make to keep her secure.
