She stirs and slowly opens her eyes, and when she finds mine, she gives me a little smile.
“What time is it?” she asks. She stretches a little but doesn’t untangle herself from me.
“Just after seven a.m.” I’m growing hard against her naked body. I can’t get enough of her.
“I need to get going. I have a ten a.m. meeting.”
As I kiss down her neck, my hands find her breasts. “You’re naked,” I say.
“So are you.”
The corners of her mouth twitch upwards, and she tries to hide her face in my neck. Her hands slide down my back as she pulls her body closer to mine. I cover her mouth with mine and push her back into the bed. Then I roll over her, place my arms to frame her head, and stare down at her. She is so gorgeous that it takes my breath away.
“You’re going to make me late, sir.”
“I’ll make it worth your time.”
She pulls me to her lips and flicks her tongue into my mouth, claiming mine.
I grab a condom off the nightstand and after I slip it on, I sink into her, both of us lost in each other. When our eyes lock, we both fall apart together.
“I enjoy waking up with you in my bed,” I tell her as I kiss the corner of her lip.
“I do, too,” she whispers.
“You ok?” I ask.
She nods, holds my face with both hands, and kisses me tenderly. I deepen the kiss, wishing that I could stay in bed with her all day. Then I drag her out of bed and to the bathroom.
I start the shower and pull her into the water with me. With my arms around her, I let the warmth of the stream run over her back.
She turns to face the water and runs her hands over her hair, getting it wet. I reach for my body wash so I can lather up her body.
“I only have my shampoo and body wash in here. I’m sorry. I should have thought ahead.”
“It’s ok. I enjoy knowing you have nothing in here for women. And I kind of like how you smell. I’ll have your scent on me all day.”
I kiss her again, and then we finish washing one another and rush to get dressed.
“Will I see you at the office?” Blair asks me.
“Not today. I’m meeting with my father to go over some last details on the merger docs. Can I see you later this evening?”
I feel guilty that I haven’t told Blair what’s happening at TWA. This is the only reason I could imagine keeping things professional, so I don’t feel like I’m totally betraying her trust.Nothing is set in stone yet, so I’ll see how everything shakes out, but if her name is on the final documents, I have to tell her. I don’t want her to be blindsided. Thankfully, we have a little time.
“I have dinner with Naomi tonight, but I’ll call you when I get home.”
We walk out together and enjoy one last lingering kiss before we get into our separate cars and head to work.
I’m still smiling when I get to the office. The memory of Blair in my bed last night and this morning plays on a loop in my mind, and I feel like nothing can bring me down today. With any luck, I can convince her my bed is a place she should always be. Or her bed, too. I believe in equality.
As I walk into my dad’s office, the usual air of authority hangs in the room. He barely looks up from his papers.
“Hey, Wyatt. What’s the latest with the TWA merger? I saw Blair’s name on the layoff list. Is that going to be an issue?” His tone is as casual as ever, like he didn’t just throw a grenade into my chest.
“No, it won’t be an issue. Everything’s under control,” I reply, trying to keep my voice steady.
“Good,” he says, finally looking at me with a piercing stare. “It’s important to keep things professional, especially now. You know better than to cross any lines.”
