“I can’t focus on the designs at all. It’s been a week since I’ve seen you last and all I keep seeing is the way you crinkle your nose when you point out things you know I’ll worry about. Or how you lick your lips every few seconds to keep them moist while you’re talking.” I squeezed his hand and brought it to my lap. “It’s been seven days, Kayden, and I missed you so much more than is reasonable for a casual fling.”
I’d been pulling my hair out for days and pestering Olivia to talk to him to the point that I was worried I was overstepping. I’d been unable to stop myself because I couldn’t be in the middle of her and Kayden, not like this. To force myself to give her space and ensure I didn’t callKayden when I was trying to avoid lying to him, I’d worked an excessive number of hours, using work as a crutch to avoid being alone with either of them. Each time I was with him, I fell a little bit more and doing that before Olivia told him about Kaylee had felt wrong.
But now, I looked at him and every cell in my body craved him.How is it possible that a week away from him has only made me care even more about him?I wanted to lay him down on my desk and claim him, mark him, make him promise to be mine.
Olivia had agreed to tell him about Kaylee after this meeting and I’d never been more grateful for that than when he stared back into my eyes, the briefest flicker of hurt crossing his face.I can’t stay away from him for another second.
“I know we haven’t labeled this. But for the record, I would never agree to label this acasual fling,” he said, sliding his chair closer.
“Isn’t that how we’re acting by not labeling it?”
“Then we should change that, becausecasualdoesn’t reflect how I feel about you, Jace. If you want to talk about us right now, we can do that. But you look exhausted and I’m guessing it’s not the right time. If we’re going to talk later, then I need you to try to pay attention, because we need to make a decision on these building plans in order for me to move to the detailed design and keep on target for your construction timeline.”
“I’ll try to listen,” I said, watching Kayden’s skin pimple as my breath brushed his neck. I inhaled his woodsy scent and moaned softly. “But do you have any idea how good you smell? It’s extremely distracting. I just want to press my nose to your skin and inhale you for the rest of this meeting.”
He narrowed his eyes before shaking his head and smirking in amusement. He looked tired today too, and I wondered how late he’dbeen up working on these. I wanted to give them the attention he deserved, and I could not do that with my cock growing rapidly in my pants. Not when it had been more than a week since I’d felt his skin against mine.
“On second thought, may I suggest an option three for how we spend our time?” I asked.
Kayden snorted. “Please, let’s hear it. Though I think I know where this is headed.”
“I’m getting hard, Kayd,” I said softly. “The way you walk me through your spreadsheets, rattling off calculations off the top of your head, makes me really horny.”
He bit the inside of his lip and leaned closer, glancing at my lap. “First it was business proposals and now my spreadsheets are making you hard too?”
My eyes roamed over the square glasses on his face and down to his lips as my dick pressed painfully against the zipper of my suit pants. “Not even close. You know it’s your brain that turns me on this much,” I whispered.
Kayden swallowed, his throat bobbing as he looked at my lap again. My erection tented my suit pants and he dragged his eyes over it before looking at my face again. “I was up all night trying to come up with the best design for you, and even with that knowledge you’re not going to focus?”
I smirked at the tease in his tone. “What do you want me to do, Kayden?” I squeezed my dick through my pants.
He groaned and looked at me with hooded eyes. “I want you to pay attention to these schematics.”
I slid one hand up his leg, stopping when my fingers brushed the hard ridge of his erection. I licked my lips seductively. “Are you sure that’s what you want? Your dick doesn’t seem to be on the same page.”
I felt a stab of guilt as I remembered why it had been days since we’d touched each other.I know something he should know and all I can think about is touching him.What is wrong with me? But fuck, I want him so bad. I want to feel close to him. She’s going to tell him. She promised she’d tell him.
Kayden’s eyes dipped to my lips, and I watched as his dick twitched, becoming more visible in his slacks as it continued to lengthen. I inched my hand closer and he lifted his hips to meet my hand. “I value this job,” he said, voice straining. “This project is of particular importance to me.”
I stood up from my chair and leaned over him, whispering in his ear, “You’re great at this job.”
“Then let me do it,” he said, breath hot against my neck.
“Okay.” I lifted both hands in the air in defeat and dropped them to my own lap as I sat down, adjusting my erection even as it ached and begged me not to give in to him. Despite my best effort, it still poked up, visible in my pants.
He shot me a look.
“Okay, I can’t do anything about that.” I smirked, eyes dipping to my cock. “But I can keep my hands over here and pay attention. Go ahead, walk me through the numbers again, that was when I got distracted by your mouth.”
Kayden looked at the screen and hovered his hand over the touchpad on his laptop, taking slow, deep breaths.
“This is a lost cause,” he said as he snapped his head to face me and leaned forward to grab my dick. I moaned in pleasure at the abruptcontact. “I’ve been aching for you for days. And youwillpay attention when we’re done.”
I kissed him hungrily, tangling our tongues together as I pulled him onto my lap. “I will. I promise I will.” I moaned as he frotted against me, rubbing our dicks together. He leaned back, unzipped my pants, and pulled me out. His thumb teased the piercing at the tip of my cock, sending a shiver down my spine, and he squeezed me firmly as he pumped the base of my dick.
He dropped my dick and eased himself off my lap and unbuckled his pants. “I need your mouth on me, Jace.”
I didn’t need to be told twice and reached forward to help with his pants. I scooted to the edge of my chair and wet my lips as his hard cock fell heavily in front of my face. He gripped the back of my head in one hand and the base of his dick in the other, pushing me onto him. I took him in my mouth and he sighed out a string of words in relief. “I want you all the time, Jace. I think about you when I’m not with you. I love the way you smell too, and I’m terrified of how much I want you. You’re the first person I’ve ever let get close enough to hurt me and not knowing what was going on with you all week scared me, and it hurt.”
