The tension must have been thick, at least on Jonah’s part.

Lacy followed behind and hesitated, giving a quick look at everyone. When Jonah held out the mug of coffee, her eyes lit up and Lacy walked to him to take it.

“Thanks,” she said. She took a sip and looked at Claire and Logan. “What?”

Claire shrugged. “I don’t know. It felt tense when I walked in. Maybe too much testosterone.”

“We should get back to work,” Jonah said, low to Lacy. Her eyes flashed up at him, but she nodded. She loved his gravelly voice and he knew it.

“When’s the next get-together to see where we are?” Lacy asked Claire.

“Probably on the hour.” Claire got down a mug and filled it. “Seems like everything is going smoothly though. We shouldn’t be at it much longer. By the way, great idea, Lacy.”

Lacy blushed. “It’s nothing.”

“Glad to see you can do more than cute puppies, Lace.” Logan winked at her.

Jonah resisted growling at the guy, but that damned nickname and what Logan had said before the women arrived ate at his insides. Maybe Logan really wanted to date Lacy. Maybe he just wanted to fuck her. Either way, who was Jonah to stand in the way?

The guy currently fucking her?

“We need to find that song before we all meet again.” Jonah started toward the door and was happy to see Lacy fall in line behind him. Something eased inside his chest.

As they entered the small office, Lacy set her coffee mug next to her laptop. “I actually think I have a good song. I thought of it when I was heading to the breakroom. Want to hear it?”

He nodded, not trusting his voice right now.

She unplugged her headphones and pressed on her mouse. A piano with strings accompaniment rang out. The driving beat gradually grew louder until the violins began chasing each other. The piano layer added a dark tone to the piece. Perfect for a chase scene in the woods.

“It’s a start. Whether we can license it or if we’ll have to find a composer to do something similar, we’ll have to see.” Lacy tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and turned to him with her guileless smile. “What do you think?”

Jonah swallowed. He wasn’t sure what he was thinking. Not about the song, but about Lacy. “It’s perfect.”

“Are you okay? What happened between you and Logan?” Lacy’s brows pinched together as she stepped toward him with her hand outstretched like she was about to touch him. Everything slowed down for a second as his mind raced.

Logan’s voice echoed in his head. Logan wanted what Jonah had. He wanted Lacy. If Jonah told her, would she go running off to Logan? Her infatuation. The guy she professed to love almost two weeks ago.

Her hand touched his arm and triggered his reaction and returned the flow of time. He pressed her against the wall and kissed her. He needed to claim her. Remind her she was his.Hislittle bird. That he could make her fly so high.

She moaned against his lips and gave in. Every fucking time, she gave in to him. Melting and becoming part of him. Seeping into the center of him until he couldn’t imagine him without her. They were on the wall next to the door. He reached over and locked it.

The music played on as he lifted his lips from hers and looked down into her darkened eyes. She searched his eyes for a moment, her chest pressing into his with every stuttering breath. He brushed a stray hair behind her ear and she shivered against him.

“Jonah?”

His name brought his attention to her lips. They parted on her exhale. Taking a deep breath, he should wait until they were at their apartment. He needed to step back. They shouldn’t be much longer at work.

“Please.” She brought her hands to his belt.

He would never be strong enough to say no to Lacy. He captured her lips as she worked on loosening his belt. His hands drew her skirt up and cupped between her legs, feeling her warmth through her panties. She made an impatient noise and he smiled against her lips. He drew her underwear down her thighs until they fluttered to the floor.

She had moved on to the button and zipper of his pants. When she reached her hand into his boxers and stroked over him, he slid his fingers through her wetness and into the heat of her. She gasped against his lips and stroked him faster.

They didn’t have a lot of time. Keeping his mouth on hers, he grabbed a condom from his pocket and pushed his pants down. Her hand left his cock and she braced herself on his shoulders. A smile played on his lips at her actions. This wasn’t the first time they’d done this. As soon as the condom was in place, he lifted her and buried himself deep within her, swallowing her cry with his mouth.

He couldn’t get enough of her. He’d never had sex at work before her. It had never been an issue to wait but being near her drove him almost insane. Knowing someone else wanted to take her away, he began to thrust, quickening his pace with each stroke. Claiming her as his. Any minute they could be asked to rejoin the team. Lacy must have felt the urgency too as she kept up with him stroke for stroke. Her tongue caressed his and he bit back his own groan.

He buried himself deep within her and stopped. Supporting her with the wall and one hand on her ass, he brought his other hand around to stoke the fire brighter within her by circling her bundle of nerves. Her head tipped back as her mouth opened in ecstasy.
