He refused to look in my eyes to avoid being swayed. “It’s not a good time right now. We have the shop opening up in a few days. I can’t go to California.”
“Dane’s going with us. Plus, we will be in the apartment most of the time anyway,” Alissa added on.
Alissa gave him her puppy dog eyes too, but I knew they wouldn’t work like mine did.
“It’s too dangerous with Chris out there still watching our every move.” He was pleading for me to understand.
“Didn’t you just say this morning that we can’t let him control our lives anymore? Plus, no way Chris is in LA. He’s avoiding the spotlight right now, trying to figure out how to clear his name. That’s all he’s ever cared about anyway.”
“We’ll talk about this later. Let’s go check on the shop.”
Alissa looked defeated but I knew I would win. Mason just didn’t want everyone to see him give in. I understood how dangerous it could be, but I wanted to go. It had been months since I had been back to California and I was craving the city. I loved my small town, but I was beginning to feel trapped. I couldn’t go anywhere alone; I needed to feel free, even if it was only for one weekend.
“We’ll see you guys later,” I told Alissa and Dane as I stood.
“Call me.” Alissa’s eyes were wide. I knew she wanted to make sure I was going to be able to go.
Mason and I walked hand in hand to the shop. I couldn’t believe how good it looked. My eyes landed on the forest green, metal roof and fell down to the building that looked like a large log cabin. There was an awning over the front door, held up by cedar pillars with stone work around the bottom.
He opened the screen door and I walked in ahead of him.
The inside looked great too. The store section was in the front of the building. Off to the left, toward the ocean side, was sectioned off for the rental area while the right side was Mason’s office. The bathrooms and the store checkout area were in-between. I looked up to see that it was wide open. There were large wooden beams that ran the length of the roof. The walls were painted a sage green and all the trim was done in the same cedar color. It was the perfect country shop.
“So what do you think so far?” Dave, the owner of the construction company, asked as he came up and shook Mason’s hand.
“It looks great. I can’t believe it’s almost done.”
“It looks like we will be done ahead of schedule and it’s a good thing too. Your office is packed full of stuff that got delivered today.”
“Damn it, I thought they were going to wait. I’m sorry if it’s been in your way,” Mason reached out and pulled me to his side. I looked up and offered him a smile.
“It’s no problem. They shoved it all in there since we’re already done with the office. Have a look around and let me know what you think.” Dave shook Mason’s hand one last time before walking away to help one of the guys on his crew.
“Let’s check out the office.” Mason turned to lead me in the right direction, but his hand stayed on my lower back, guiding me.
I walked in and weaved through the stacked-up boxes. I found his new desk in the center of the room. It matched the same cedar color scheme, but the desk had a glossy finish.
“I love this desk,” I said running my hand across the top.
“Me too, but I’d love it even more if you were on top of it.”
The next thing I knew, I was in his arms. He turned me around and placed me on the desk before moving his lips to mine.
I felt that familiar yearning form in the pit of my stomach. He had done nothing but kiss me, but already, my body wanted him.
He used his hips to spread my legs wider as they hung off the desk. When he was settled between them, his hand ran up the inside of my thigh, beneath the thin fabric of my sundress.
He trailed his finger along the line of my panties. I was breathless with anticipation, needing to feel his touch. I kept waiting for him to slide his fingers beneath the lace, but instead, he rubbed his thumb over my sensitive nub.
The pressure alone was enough to have me soaking through my panties. When I let out a quiet whimper, Mason’s hand disappeared. He pulled away quickly before grabbing me by my thighs and pulling me to the edge of the desk. His urgency turned me on more than anything.
He yanked my thin lace panties down my legs before removing himself from his jeans. With my dress bunched up around my waist, he slid into me. The moment we connected, I wanted to explode.
Lying flat on my back, he moved in and out of me with quick movements, going deeper with each thrust. Just when I was about to let my orgasm go, I was in his arms again. Without leaving me, he had me pinned to the wall.
He continued with his movements while his hands roamed my body and his lips trailed up my neck until he found my lips.
“You feel so fucking good,” he whispered against my lips before thrusting into me even harder.
