"Ah, my sleeping beauty," he says as he walks over to me and gives me a chaste kiss on my temple.

"Morning. Please tell me there’s enough coffee for me because my head’s pounding. Ave, we went a little too hard on the gin last night."

She giggles. "Sounds like someone is getting a little too old to hang with the big dogs."

I turn and glare at her.

"Cal, if you’re good, I'm going to head home. I think I should give you and your fiancé some time together."

I walk over to her, give her a big hug, and whisper in her ear, "Thank you. Keep your phone handy in case today goes wonky." She nods, then walks over to slip her shoes on and head out.

After making my way back to Julian, I wrap my arms around his waist and look up at him. "What time did you get in last night? I tried to wait up."

"It wasn't until a little after 3am. I'm sorry, sweet girl. It was one thing after another with work. They needed me to complete one final trial run before we take over our new acquisition."

"Hmmm. I thought you were coming home after the gym. I didn't know you had to work," I say as I trail my hands up and down his back, looking up at him with sultry eyes. "Also, I sent you a picture yesterday that I haven't heard a word about mister."

"Oh, I remember the picture." He smiles and brushes his lips against mine as his hands move down to cup my ass before lifting me up. I wrap my arms around his neck and my legsaround his waist. Leaning into him, my lips part, and he slips his tongue in, teasing me before kissing me deeply. Pulling back for a moment, my eyebrows scrunch together.

"How come you had your office locked yesterday? I was going to sprawl myself over your desk so that you would think of me every time you work in there, but I couldn't get in."

His lips turn up in a grin. "Now, that sounds like something we should rectify."

Slowly, he walks us towards his office, completely ignoring my question. I take the opportunity to lick and suck up his neck, nibbling slightly on his ear. He hardens beneath me as he pulls the door open and sits me on his desk. I place my hands behind me and lean back as he says, "Lift."

I obey immediately, and he grabs my leggings and underwear at my waist to pull them down. In seconds, I’m bare from the waist down on his desk. My shirt and bra come off next and are tossed in a pile with the rest of my clothes. He takes a step back to look me up and down, smirking at the view of me fully naked on his desk, so I spread my legs for him.

"You are a vision." He steps back into me, putting his hand on my chest and pushing me gently until I am lying down with my legs hanging over. My stomach is peppered with kisses from him.

"So beautiful." The kisses make their way down lower until I feel his breath blowing just above my pussy. I prop myself up on my elbows, so I have a prime view of him hovering right between my legs.

"Mine,"he growls. I let out a breath and nod at him. He's being a little more possessive than usual, but I don't mind.

His head dips down to my center, running his tongue up the length of my slit, and I let out a moan. "Yes." His tongue devours me like I am his last meal. I tangle my fingers in his hair to guide him right where I need him to be. He shoves two thick fingers into me, making me scream in ecstasy, "Julian!"

His pace is relentless as he pumps his fingers in and out of me, curving them ever so slightly to hit that magical spot. I feel myself getting closer and closer to the edge. Suddenly, his lips suction themselves to my clit, and I lose all sense of myself grinding on his face. My body erupts, and my pussy tightens around his fingers as I come with a fiery need. He continues working me until my body relaxes. My fingers fall from his hair, and he looks up at me.

I don't know who this man is today, but I’m loving every fucking minute of it. I lay my body back down on the desk to catch my breath when the paper next to me captures my attention.

"Julian, what is this?" It's his flight confirmation for his trip. "I thought you told me you were going to Atlanta. Why does this paper say Nashville?"

He looks down at the flight confirmation, eyes widening for the briefest of moments before he catches himself and relaxes them. "Atlanta? Why would I tell you I'm going to Atlanta? I've been going back and forth to Nashville for the last month now, Callie. We've talkedabout this quite a few times. You must have gotten it confused with something else."

This whole situation is weird. There is no way I would confuse the two cities. They aren't anywhere near each other. Nashville is dangerously close to Rogue. I would have remembered if he mentioned it.

"Julian, I know for a fact you told me Atlanta. Why are you lying to me?" I ask him while looking into his eyes with fierce determination. He needs to know that I won't back down on this until he tells me the truth. I won’t allow someone to lie to me and let them stay in my life.

"Callie, I've never been to Atlanta," he states firmly and then chuckles. He chuckles like what I'm saying is the most outrageous thing in the world. He is really going to hold onto this lie. He just told me at dinner the other night he was going to Atlanta. I know it!

I've had enough of this bullshit. I slide my bare ass off his desk and grab my clothes off the floor, forcing them back onto my body. “I’M DONE JULIAN! I won’t be with a liar,” I yell at him.

"Callie," he calls out, but I ignore him. Once all my clothes are in place, I storm out of the room, my shoulder bumping into his arm on the way out. This mother fucker is seriously going to try to gaslight me right now. Absolutely fucking not.

Chapter 7

Callie

Ineed time to think, so without saying another word, I storm into the kitchen, take off the ring he gave me, place it on the counter, and grab my keys to run to my car. Again, my first instinct is to pack a bag and get the fuck out of town. It would be so easy to start over like I've done so many times in the past. Avery would never let me go alone, so I would have her by my side if that's what I chose.
