She wrinkled her nose while exclaiming, “Ew!”

I laughed. “Truth hurts.”

As she came around the desk, I drank in her appearance. She’d changed out of her alpine costume. She wore a simple green sundress that had spaghetti straps and had a daring slit up her thigh.

“Fuck me. You are a vision,” I remarked as she arrived in front of me.

Pink tinged her cheeks. “Thank you.” After taking me in from head to toe, she added, “You look pretty amazing yourself.”

I glanced down at my black dress pants and blue long-sleeved button-down shirt. I guess the women had been right about my color. Maybe I should actually ask their advice from time to time.

As I closed the gap between us, Mina’s throat bobbed. Bringing the back of my hand to her face, I rubbed along her jawline. Closing her eyes, Mina leaned into my hand.

“Is it finally time that I get to taste your samples?” I questioned in a husky tone.

Her eyes popped wide. “I have to close up first.”

Turning my lips down in a pout, I challenged myself. “Maybe just a tiny taste?”

Watching her gorgeous throat once again undulate caused my cock to throb. “I guess it wouldn’t hurt.”

Something told me that I needed to take things slow. Not just for Mina but for myself. We’d already kicked things into overdrive earlier. It was time to fan the flames of desire, not have them explode and fizzle out.

Dipping my head, I brought my hands to the side of her neck. With my lips inches from hers, I hovered there, breathing her in. At her shiver, I covered her mouth with mine.

Damn, she tasted so sweet. Even though I wanted to keep it chaste, I couldn’t stop myself from thrusting my tongue into her mouth. As our tongues collided, I groaned into her mouth.

Mina’s hands came around my neck. She then drew me even closer to where we melted into one. My hands slid down her neck and onto her shoulders before trailing down her arms to her waist.

When her finger twisted into the strands of my hair, I thrust my hips against hers. I swallowed her gasp at the feel of my cock against her pussy. So much for taking it slow, right?

A knock at the door had Mina shoving me away. “Y-Yes?” she questioned in a shaky voice.

Fucking cockblocking Nate replied, “I was just wondering when you were going to start closing up.”

“Coming!”

She gave me an apologetic look. “Ten minutes. Just give me ten minutes, and we’ll take up where we left off.”

“I look forward to it.”

As she started for the door, she motioned to the couch. “Feel free to have a seat.”

“No way. I’m coming with you.”

“Seriously?”

Wagging my brows, I replied, “I want to see you in action.”

“I promise it’s not that exciting.”

“Call me smitten. I find everything you do exciting.”

She narrowed her eyes as she swept her hands to her hips. “Why do I think this is about giving Nate the evil eye while symbolically pissing on my leg to show possession?”

I laughed. “Maybe.”

Although she huffed out a frustrated breath, she jerked her thumb at me. “All right then. Let’s go.”
