And then, I reached up, my hand neatly fitting in the curve of her elegant neck, just as I knew it would.Or maybe I was finally following her natural gravity, pulling me in until our lips collided.
It was glorious.
She kissed the way she talked.Fast, hot, passionate.We grappled with each other, teeth bumping, tongues clashing, hands gripping.She smelled like cinnamon and tasted like dessert.Felt like fire under my skin.
My senses caught up to me, and just as quickly as it began, I ended it, pulling back.Our breaths mingled between us, short and sharp.My heart was racing.“Wait.We can’t do this.Not while you work for me.”
“Good.Because I quit.”She dived in for another kiss, but I stopped her.
“That’s not funny.”
“I’m not trying to be funny.”
“I’m not going to let you quit.”
She was unimpressed.“You’re not going to let me?”
I dropped my hands from her body.“No, wait.That’s … that came out wrong.I don’t want you to quit.”I sighed.“I won’t deny that you’re a very attractive woman, Tiffany, and maybe in different circumstances, we could explore whatever this is.”
“We should just get it out of our system, you know?We barely even like each other, so you don’t have to worry about me catching feelings.”
I said nothing, torn.
“Look, I’m quitting whether you sleep with me or not.I’m just asking you if you want to.”
My body was already reacting to the idea, my dick half hard in my pants, and I was desperately trying not to let it call the shots here.Apart from her quitting, this was everything I’d been trying not to think about.Trying not to want.
And it was being offered to me.
I needed to think logically about this while I still had the northward blood flow to do so.“You can’t just leave.I’ll need time to replace you.You’ll need to train someone new.”
“Ok.I’ll stay as long as it takes to find a suitable replacement.”
“And, where I can, I’ll help you find work.”
“Thanks, oh gracious one, but I don’t believe I asked you for help.I’m perfectly capable of getting work.”
“Ok.Good.”
She curled one hand into my shirt.“Are you done?”
I was already chasing her lips.“Yes.”
Her hand curled into my hair, her nails scratching my scalp with just a hint of pressure.It sent a lightning burst of pleasure down my spine.My hands gravitated to her waist, gripping, holding her body against mine, her pert breasts crushed between us.She felt amazing.I desperately wanted to slowly map out every inch of her skin with my mouth and hands, but this was only going to be a one-time thing, and right now, slow was not possible.I needed her now.Wrapping my hands around her back, I finally got to bury my fingers into that thick blonde hair that had been taunting me and cradled her head as I deepened the kiss.
Our breaths tangled in the small space between us.
Every kiss was a jostle for control, a relay race of desire.
“Don’t think this means I’ll change my mind on the menu,” she said as I pressed hot kisses along her jaw.
“Doesn’t matter.You don’t work for me anymore, remember?“
“And this doesn’t mean I like you.”
I pulled back.“We don’t have to do this, you know.”
The hunger in her eyes was undeniable.“Shut up and kiss me, Cooper.”
Damn, she was bossy.I loved it.
Knowing that this powerful woman wanted me as much as I wanted her fueled my arousal, making my entire body buzz with anticipation.
