“I’m guessing he didn’t do this in bed, so where were you?”
Allie’s cheeks heated, and she used that moment to take a drink before answering.“The dining room table,” she said quickly and softly.
Sandy’s mouth hung open; she was once again stunned into silence before her mouth widened into a grin.“Shut up.”
“It tamed down after that.We moved it to the bedroom and…” Allie sighed as memories of last night resurfaced.“Everything about last night was…”
“Amazing,” Sandy finished for her, sitting forward.Her chin rested on her hand, her elbow on the table, looking wistful.
“He was.It was.It’s never been like that for me.”
“It won’t always be.”
Tell her about it.Allie had been with some bad, quick men who’d gotten off quickly and never cared about her needs.That definitely wasn’t the case with Carson.Hedefinitely put her first.
She glanced down at her phone.Everything had been perfect except for one thing.
“What is it?”
“I haven’t heard from Carson today.I texted him this morning when I was coming in, and he hasn’t responded.You don’t think he—”
“No.”Sandy held her finger up, looking upset.“He is not a hit-it-and-quit-it guy like some of the other people he hangs out with.I’m sure something just came up.”
Allie didn’t think so either, but she had a track record with men who’d left rather quickly.She knew she was being irrational just because she hadn’t heard from him.“Maybe he got called out of town for work again?”
“No, he would at least tell you before he left.Tell you what, call him up and tell him you miss his glorious cock, and you want to have more hot kinky sex with him.”Sandy took a bite of her sandwich, chewed it, and swallowed it quickly.
“I can’t do that.”Sandy was the bold talker, not her.Last night had been new and bold for her, but she didn’t think she could do that on a regular basis.
“Fine,” Sandy said in a pouty voice.“How about you invite him over for dinner?Cook up a nice meal and see where the night brings you.”
“If I don’t hear from him by the time we leave work, I’ll call him and ask.”She was not about to call a few hours after her text.That felt like it screamed desperation.
“Fine,” Sandy checked her watch, “Crap, we have to head back.”They tossed out the rest of their lunch and headed back to the office.It was only a few blocks away.
They were halfway to the office when someone stepped in front of Allie and Sandy.“Well, hello, beautiful ladies.”
Allie was about to scream for help when Sandy groaned.“Oh no, not you.”Sandy knew this guy?Allie had never seen him before, though he remindedher a lot of Carson.He carried himself the same way and was handsome with similar-looking scars, but she preferred Carson over this guy.
“Sandy, I’m crushed.”The man touched his chest over his heart.
“I’m sure your ego will recover.”
“It will be quicker if you give me a kiss.”He smiled.Allie was sure it was one that had dropped many a panty.Not hers and obviously not Sandy’s either.
“How about introducing my knee to your balls?”
The man didn’t seem offended by Sandy’s sharp tongue, though she didn’t know why Sandy was being so rude to him; besides, the guy was arrogant.She only knew of one guy Sandy was like that with.Jack.
The man’s crystalline-blue eyes landed on her.“Better yet, introduce me to this lovely angel next to you.Her mouth looks much sweeter than yours.”
Ew.
Allie noticed someone stopping next to this stranger.“Carson.”
“Allie.”Carson stopped in his tracks and looked at her, shocked.“What are you doing here?”He almost looked guilty seeing her.
“Sandy and I were getting some lunch and celebrating her win.We just closed a deal.”She smiled warmly at Sandy.The woman was a rock star.She didn’t know where their company would be without her.
