He disappeared from sight, and she heard the solid soles of his shoes against the tile.
More mortified than she’d ever been, she took her time brushing her hair before dressing in an oversize T-shirt and yoga pants, hoping the other woman had already left the room.But as Kelsey walked through with her bag over her shoulder, the blonde was still there, putting her earphones in place.They exchanged quick smiles, and Kelsey strode nonstop toward the door.
Nathan was standing near the elevators, and he pushed the button when he saw her.“How does it feel?”
She was so concerned with almost being caught that she’d forgotten her discomfort.“Fine.I think.”
When they were descending to the parking garage, he eased his hand inside her pants.
“These are almost as good as a skirt,” he said.
He pushed on the base of the plug and she sucked in a breath and stood up a little taller.“Damn,” she said.
“I’m looking forward to you wearing it all day on Friday.”
Kelsey wasn’t sure she could tolerate it.She also knew better than to argue.
He took her bag from her as they made their way to his vehicle then helped her into the car before reaching across to fasten her belt.She should have expected that, but she hadn’t.His size, proximity and take-charge attitude made her utterly aware of her femininity.When she squirmed to get comfortable, it wasn’t entirely from the effects of the silicone up her rear.
“You know, Kelsey, you’re a very good sub.That won’t get you out of what I have planned for you tonight, though.”With that, he smiled and closed the door.
She sank against the seatback.
As they drove, she checked her phone and found that the ever-professional Thompson had gotten back to her about Nathan’s Dallas trip.“You’re confirmed for next Thursday.You’re meeting Connor at the airport at six a.m.The meeting with OneTech is at nine.That will give you time for breakfast and account for any flight or traffic delays.You’ll depart Dallas Love Field at three.”
He glanced at her.“And be home in time to fuck you.”
Unsaid words hung between them.They’d only agreed to spend this week together.She refused to think past that.
“Where are we on plans for the family retreat?”
“Second weekend in December,” she confirmed.“Both your grandparents have said they will attend, as has Erin.Your aunt Kathryn has not agreed yet.There’s some sort of dispute about the guests she wants to bring with her.”
He nodded as if that wasn’t a surprise.
“Connor and Lara, of course.Cade and Sofia will be there.”
“Hard for them to avoid since it’s at their place.I’d still like for you to attend.”
“Thompson will be there to handle admin for the family,” she said.
“It’d be a good opportunity for you to get away.Corpus Christi.Picture taking…”
“You know how to tempt a girl, Mr.Donovan.”
“Did you ask Martha about her availability as I requested?”
“I…” She felt his steady gaze on her.“No.I did not.”
He exposed his watch and touched the screen.This time, the heart that hovered above it was more red than pink, and she wondered if that meant anything.
“Memo,” he said.
“Ready, Mr.Donovan.”
“Contact Martha Leone to find out her availability the second week of December.”
“Noted.”
