I grab a cup of coffee and head to my desk, where I follow the instructions to run and email reports. I check through each of the guys’ schedules and make notes of where I have to be and when in my schedule.
Then I instant message Hope to let me know when she’s ready to keep training me on the computer system. The floor is still quiet. I don’t know if they are in or haven’t even come up to work yet. I spin in my chair and study the doors to see if I can tell.
When the elevator dings, I turn back in my chair. Cooper comes out with a smile on his face and his black hair tied in a bun.
“Good morning, sweetheart,” he practically purrs. He stops at my desk. “Did you sleep well?”
Not really. “Yes.”
I’ve never been evicted before. I didn’t know if someone would just show up to throw me out. Paying the extra thousand for the month is still cheaper than going to a hotel, and better for my credit.
“I had the sweetest dream.”
I meet his dancing, light blue eyes. I can’t help the smile that cracks my face. “Oh, yeah?”
He circles my desk and squats in front of me. His fingers toy with the hem of my skirt. “You were in it. Tied to my bed, spread wide, knees bent, while I licked and tongue fucked your pussy until you came all over my face, and I kept doing it over and over again until you begged me to fuck you.”
His eyes lift to meet mine, and I suck in a breath. He’s temptation personified.
“When are we going to have sleepovers, sweetheart?” His fingers trail over my knee.
“Two weeks?” My breath is quick. I don’t want to wait that long, but those are the parameters of our arrangement.
He takes my hand and brings my knuckles to his lips. “Maybe we’ll take a personal lunch sometime.”
I’ve seen his schedule. Smiling ruefully, I shake my head.
“Coffee break?” He looks hopeful, but then his face falls. “Not enough time. Damn, why did I waste my hour yesterday?”
Sighing, he releases my hand. “Guess I’ll settle for coffee to get me up this morning.”
He winks at me as he heads down the hallway. I take a deep breath to stop the quivering inside me. Potent men.
Hope:
Here now.
Me:
I’ll come get you.
Cooper comes back around with his coffee. His eyes are hot on me and they make me a mess inside.
Me:
Maybe I’ll come down there this morning.
Hope:
Sure. I’ll pull over a chair.
I grab my notepad and realize I didn’t put my notes in last night. I’ll do it when I find time. If I find time. The schedule today is full.
I open an instant message to all the bosses.
Me:
Heading down to work with Hope. Anyone need anything?
