“I-I don’t know,” she murmured and I softly tilted her head up so that she could look at me. Her eyes searched mine for a second before they quickly dropped to my lips and she licked her own lips.

Shit. I want to taste her lips.

“I love spending time with you, and I don’t want to stop. What about you, Avery?”

My other hand moved behind her neck, softly stroking the hair at the bottom of her head. I knew her hair was soft just by how heavenly it looked. Standing in front of her like this, I was enjoying her soft fragrance and I so badly wanted to push her on this desk and push away the work that had been keeping her away from me the entire week, but I knew how to control myself.

One thing at a time.

I gently tugged the strands of hair that were between my fingers and she gasped as she looked at me, a wild emotion swimming through those gorgeous orbs.Fuck, Avery was dangerous.

I pressed my nose against hers, and she licked her lips once again.Me too, baby. I badly want to kiss you, but first...

“Avery, do you want me to leave you alone?” I asked her once more and she shook her head, biting her bottom lip. “Use your words, please.”

“No, I don’t want you to leave me alone,” she confirmed and it felt like the permission I had been waiting for. I pressed my lips against hers and she sighed as she squeezed my waist, melting against me and the table.

My tongue immediately licked her bottom lip and she quickly obeyed, opening her mouth and allowing me to taste her to my heart’s content. I groaned against her lips as our tongues clashed, a strong shiver traveling down my back as her fingers dug into my waist, her leg slowly wrapping itself around my calf as she leaned back on her desk.

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

I continued kissing her as she lay flat against the desk, her leg rising up and this was a dangerous game we were playing in heroffice. I pulled her bottom lip and sucked slowly as I opened my eyes and looked at her.

She kept her eyes closed and I let go of her lips, smiling as she waited for more. I was already addicted, but I respected Avery. She slowly opened her eyes and licked her lips as she looked at me.

“Why’d you stop?” she whispered and I chuckled lightly as I pressed a soft kiss on her nose, mesmerized by her cute expression.

“Because I don’t want to fuck you in your office. You deserve muchmuchbetter, Angel.”

Chapter 11

Avery

He called me Angel.

“So tell me, why haven’t you gone to work these past two days?” My best friend, Rita, pulled me out of my thoughts as she dropped herself on the couch beside me.

I frowned as I sipped my wine, grateful that my parents wanted to spend time with Niel this weekend because I really needed to get wasted.

He plagues my mind day and night!

“Avery.” She poked my arm and I winced as I moved away from her. “You called me and now I’m here. Why haven’t you been going to work?”

She grabbed the sweets that were on the table and opened the packet roughly as her brown eyes stared deeply into mine. Maybe calling her was a mistake.

“Well...” I spoke softly as I slowly looked away from her soul-seeing gaze and she quickly grabbed my chin and forced me to stare at her.

“Nah-uh, you are not going to do that with me. You called me and you said it was important, I will not repeat myself once more, Avery Sinclair!” she scolded with those freaking brown eyes of hers! “What is it?”

Her voice was clipped and it reminded me of the day I told her that I was pregnant. I felt like I was living with my mother when I stayed at the dorm. Rita was one straightforward, no-nonsense taking, book-smart, dedicated, and awful person; hence why I liked her so much!

She reminded me of my mother.

“Delaying your answer won’t make me forget and go easy on you.” She popped another gummy worm into her mouth and I wondered how could she chew something so chewy without blinking. My gums ached just from watching her eat those.

“Hmm. Work has been good, you know? I finally went to a live game and it was exciting, remember I sent you pictures of it? Also, I was made to be a sports exec, like I am killing the job.” I raised my hand and she just stared at me without saying anything.

“Now you know that isn’t what I came here for. SOS doesn’t meanI am killing the job, it meanssomething about or in the job is killing me,” she said slowly and I mentally groaned.Why does she know me so well?“Spill.”
