“I missed you,” she whispers.
The words are so simple, so honest, they hit me like a punch to the chest.
I kiss her again, a hard, possessive kiss.
“I missed you too,” I say, and it’s the truest thing I’ve said all week.
I lean in and kiss her again, softer this time, savoring the feel of her lips, the taste of her, the simple fact of her here in my arms.
She melts against me, a soft, contented sigh escaping her lips.
“I was worried I’d forgotten how to do this,” she says, her fingers tracing the line of my jaw. “The normal stuff. Being here. Working.”
“And have you?” I ask.
She thinks about it for a second.
“No,” she decides, a small smile playing on her lips. “It’s like riding a bike. Except with better accessories.” She glances down at my tie and toys with it with her fingers. “I like this tie."
I look down at the navy silk with its subtle burgundy pattern. "Thank you." I still her wandering fingers and press her hand flat to my tie. "I think it would look even better wrapped around your wrists.”
Her breath hitches.
I slide my hand from her back to her hip, my fingers tracing the curve of her waist. I love the feel of her, the soft, warm weight of her in my lap.
"Or your throat," I add, my voice dropping to a low, intimate murmur.
Her eyes widen, and a flush spreads across her cheeks. She doesn't look scared. She looks intrigued.
And turned on.
My cock, which has been semi-hard since I saw her at her desk, goes rock solid.
I want her.
Right here. Right now.
On my desk. Against the wall. Bent over my chair.
I want to take her in a dozen different ways, a dozen different positions, until she’s a screaming, sobbing mess, until she can’t remember her own name.
And then I want to do it all over again.
The door is locked. The windows are private.
I slide my other hand up her thigh, pushing her skirt up with it.
Her breath hitches, and she looks at me with wide, trusting eyes.
“Mr. Conti,” she whispers, a hint of a question in her tone.
I like that.
I smile.
“Yes, Ms. Crawford?”
She licks her lips, a slow, sexy movement that has my cock throbbing.
