“What?” I stared at his mouth too. There was a charge in the air. Perfume lingered around us, and the room was small and dim. Peter swallowed.
He sucked in a breath. “How much I need someone in my life.” He reached out and touched a ruffle on my blouse.
Then he moved, fast, and our mouths were locked together. He tasted like peppermint and green tea, as his mouth carnally kissed mine. Groaning, he swung me around so that I was backed up against the desk and then he pressed his body against me. The rigid shaft I could feel through his slacks was completely aroused and his hands sliding over me were a little frantic.
Something jabbed my side. I moved my bruised lips away and inhaled a shaky breath. He panted, his groin pressed against me.
“God, I’m sorry,” he said, his hands running up and down my arms.
“I can’t do this with you.”
He took a step back. “Right, I understand. You’re seeing someone.”
“I am.” My eyes closed for a moment.
“Forgive me?” He took a deep breath.
“Absolutely. But we’ll do coffee another time.”
He nodded and stepped aside.
I slipped past him to the door and walked out. That had been some kiss. I pressed my tingling lips together. Everything had been going better than my most lurid fantasies could have hoped for and yet…
“Damn Hank,” I muttered as I stomped past Irving. He jumped up and trotted after me down the hall.
“Ma’am?” Irving huffed beside me, struggling to keep up. “Is everything okay?”
“Fine.” I ran down the stairs.
Irving gasped and stomped behind me. “We need to follow protocol.”
“We’re going to the pet store,” I yelled at him over the heads of a mob of passing students.
Pet stores are full of cuteness and buying a bag of new toys for Charley made me feel better. Also, I chatted up acouple of employees about Charley’s issues and they directed me to the bone section and a few other things to try.
Amber texted while I was cooing over a litter of kittens. A timely distraction, because I was getting some dangerous thoughts about the sweet fluffy calico one.
Amber: Mario texted me. Can you believe it?
Amber: He’s all, hey how are you. WTF?
Amber: I found a GIF of flashing the bird. Should I send it? I really want to…
Sally: Not sure shug. It isn’t really your style. Are you gonna wait to answer and make him sweat?
Amber: Yes. Okay you’re right. I’m not sending the GIF. Now I’m all worked up though. I HATE that man!
Sally: Hey you know what?
Amber: What?
Sally: You’re hot shit.
Amber: Yes. Yes I am. Thank you.
Sally: Come on over for dinner if it works for you. I’ll be home in twenty.
Amber: I’m there.
