Their moans collided.He quickly diminished the limited space separating them and tilted his head to adjust how their mouths fit together for the deeper contact they needed.Grant’s hand slid around the back of her neck to support her head as their tongues mated, sending unbearable need through him.
Jennifer jolted and tore herself away from his mouth at a hard knock on the door.He kept her on his lap and against his chest when she nervously tried to push away.
“Jen.Mr.Thomas is here about the repair in the utility room.”Kari’s voice came through the door.
Her heart beat violently in her chest, making her breathing hard to control.
“I’m...”Jennifer cleared her throat without taking her eyes off Grant.“I’ll be right there, Kari.”She lifted her hand and traced the curves of his face.“I’ve got to go, Grant,” she whispered.
He sat her up and lifted her off his lap in one easy movement and grimaced at the tight fit of his pants.
“I have to get back to work, too.”He stood and helped Jennifer clean up their lunch.He held his hand out to her.“Come say goodbye to me.”
Jennifer tucked her small hand in his large, callused one and followed behind him as he walked through the front desk area and stopped by the front door.
“I’ll pick you up at your place at six.Will that work for you, baby?”Grant pulled her in front of him and encircled her waist with his hands.His eyes watched her with a hot, intense expression.“Now, kiss me goodbye,” he demanded quietly.
Jennifer stood on her tiptoes and pressed her mouth to his for a quick kiss, aware and uncomfortable of her employees’ curious stares.“Goodbye, Grant.I’ll see you tonight and thank you very much for lunch.Plan for dinner at my house this week.”
Grant rubbed his thumb over her bottom lip as his gaze scanned her features.“We’ll see.I just might want to spoil you.”
Her breath hitched in her throat at the intense expression on his face.“Can’t I spoil you, too?I’m a pretty good cook.”
“We’ll talk about it later tonight,” he said as he bent for another quick kiss before he walked out the door.
Chapter Fifteen
Jennifer watched himget in his car before she turned to get back to work.She froze, and her cheeks heated.Every employee in the building stood and stared at her with different degrees of shock.She took a deep breath.“Everyone, get back to work.Kari, where is Mr.Thomas?”
Several people reluctantly turned and returned to work, leaving the manager and two office assistants.Kari watched Jennifer turn and rush through a doorway and yell at her back.
“We haven’t even started with the questions, Jen.”
Jennifer laughed, raised her hand, and waved.
An hour later, Jennifer showed Mr.Thomas out after she paid him and sighed when Kari followed her into her office.
