The soft, warm breeze feels amazing over my back as I recite everything Emma said and did, missing out what I overheard this morning.I only let him know about what was said to me directly.His eyes harden, his fingers pausing in their caress.I don’t want him to think he was the reason for my mood change.
“I’ll handle it though.I want to give her another chance before I take it to Paisley.”
“You know it’s jealously, right?”he asks, pressing his lips to my shoulder.
“I know.She mentioned wanting the job I have, or the spa side of my job.”
He snorts.“No, babe.She wanted Luke first.He has a crush on Mina, but even if he didn’t, he doesn’t like girls like Emma.She tried Wyatt and Isaac too.Neither were interested.”
I arch an eyebrow.“Where did you fit into her line-up?”
“Sunshine, she wanted long time, not a good time.I probably would have been on the list but I’ve actively avoided Paisley’s staff.We’ve fucked things up with Paisley so many times.Not messing with the staff working for her seemed the least I could do.”
I roll until I’m lying on top of him, straddling his thighs.“Reid Hayes, you are more than a good time.Not to sound cheesy, but she missed out big time.”
He snorts, cupping my arse under my dress.“You say that like she had a shot with me.Only one person has, Sunshine.”
I love him.
I’ve never been so deeply infatuated by a person before.I’m completely besotted.He doesn’t even know when he’s being sweet.He will say something factual, but I’ll succumb to mush each time.“Then I guess I’m lucky I get all parts of you.”
“If she continues though, you should go to Paisley.She doesn’t tolerate bullying.”
“I wouldn’t say it’s bullying, Reid.I’m not sensitive.She hasn’t hurt my feelings.I am annoyed.”
“I would be too.She’s basically said you had to fuck someone to get the job.”
My heart jolts at his words because he gets it.“Yeah,” I rasp.“It’s bad enough men think women are only ahead in life because they fucked a man to get there.For another woman to basically throw the same accusation isn’t just insulting.It makes me mad.”
He runs the tips of his fingers over the back of my neck, applying pressure until I’m close.He brushes his lips over mine, teasing me before finally kissing me.The kiss is slow, sensual, and I feel it between my thighs.
“I’m sorry, Sunshine.”
“I don’t want to talk about that.Did you speak with Isaac?”
He rolls until I’m on my back.“We spoke.We’re good now.But I don’t want to talk about him right now.”
I brush my fingers through his hair, my lips twitching.“And what is it you want to talk about?”
His pupils dilate as he gazes at my mouth.“Oh, there won’t be any talking,” he states, whilst the thigh pushed between my leg lowers, making room for his fingers to slide under my dress.
My back arches and my head falls back when his fingers make their way into my underwear.
I guess we are doing this out in the open.
And I don’t give a single fuck.
