Chapter 10

She put her arms around his neck as their kiss deepened, and her back was pressed up against the wall as his attack on her lips grew more passionate and demanding. What they had been denying themselves over the last couple of months came rushing out in a sexual frenzy. Their bodies pressed together, their lips moving in sync with each other.

He stopped, giving them space and a moment to breathe. “Maybe I should leave before this goes too far.”

“I don’t want you to leave,” she said as she started undoing the buttons on his shirt, sliding it down his shoulders.

His breath hitched in his throat, the sexual beast inside him was about to be unleashed as his shirt fell to the floor. “You better be sure about this because once we start I won’t be able to stop,” he said, picking her up and carrying her to the bedroom where he laid her down.

As she lay there with him on top of her, she reached up to touch his cheek. “I’m sure, I’ve been fighting these feelings for so long and I can’t do it any longer. I want you, I want you now,” she said as she pulled his head down to kiss him. If she had thought that the first time was amazing, she was in for one hell of a surprise. She could feel his heart beating as he continued to kiss her, his one hand moving down until he got between her legs. The feel of his fingers going inside her panties and in between her folds shot sparks of electricity shooting through her body. His fingers were so sensuous as he stroked and played inside her, making her core throb with desire. Then when his lips traveled down her chin to the top of her cleavage she wished that she was bare so that she could feel his lips on her breasts.

He cursed under his breath, wanting to taste her soft, firm breasts in his mouth but the damn material of her dress was preventing him from doing so. So, removing his fingers from inside her warmth, he pulled down the top, past her breasts, and took one of them in his mouth. He circled his tongue over the nipple before sucking it into his mouth, he could hear her soft moans and slender body squirming beneath him. For the last couple of months, he had been dreaming of being inside her after the last time. It was such torture being around her, but now he was not going to let this opportunity pass. He wanted her in the worst way, he wanted to devour her, to make her his in every sense of the word sexually.

He moved off of her, pulling her up he lifted her dress up over her head and laid her back down. She offered no resistance when he lowered her back down and proceeded to remove her panties and spread her legs and placed his face over her pussy. He feasted on the meal before him, it was just as sweet as it was the first time. He moved his tongue in and out, and circled inside, making her scream and her body tremble violently as he brought her to her first orgasm. Wiping his mouth he got up and removed his pants and his briefs and climbed back on top of her. His mouth came down on hers in a forceful kiss that dominated her lips, letting her know that she was his for the taking.

She was panting crazily, his body felt so firm and yet soft against her skin but when he stopped and got out of bed she opened her eyes to look at him and felt disappointed. “Are you leaving?”

He smiled at her as he picked up his pants. “Hell no, I’m just looking in my wallet to see if I have a condom.” Fuck, he swore when he couldn’t find one.

She sat up, wide-eyed when she heard him cursing. “What’s wrong?”

He dropped his pants and got back into bed. He laid her down and got on top of her. “I don’t have a damn condom so we’re not going to be able to do anything unless I can control myself enough to pull out.”

She didn’t want him to pull out, she wanted him badly. Since she was on the pill she figured it would be okay if they did it raw. “If it helps, I am on the pill.”

His cock was hard and needed relief. “I’ve never done it with anyone without using protection. Are you sure you want me to go ahead?”

“I’ve never done it without protection either, but if you don’t feel comfortable, I’ll understand.”

He looked at her for a moment; she was absolutely gorgeous, and every single part of his body ached to make love to her. “I’ve never felt more comfortable in my life, and I want you so goddamn bad,” he said and lowered his mouth onto hers. How could he not make love to her? Her sweet naked little body got him even harder and once again brought out the sexual beast in him. Positioning himself between her legs, he placed himself inside her and started thrusting slowly at first. He felt like he had died and gone to heaven when he felt her beautiful arms wrapping around him and her legs going around his waist. Her body moved in sync with his, raising her hips at the right time, and her lips caressing his neck sensuously. It was like fireworks going off when he brought them both to amazing orgasms, and he had to wonder why he took so long to get her back into bed?

She lay there, running her fingers up and down his back when he collapsed on top of her. Well, she was glad that she went on the pill before coming to Orlando; it was so much better without one of those condoms. Yes, it is important for preventing pregnancy and any kind of sexually transmitted disease, but since they both have always used protection, she knew there was no chance of catching anything. When he finally took some of his weight off of her and kissed her, she happily responded. She knew they had overstepped the boundaries of boss and employee, but the heart wants what it wants, or should we say the body?

“Oh Rosalee, I hope you have no regrets,” he said as he rolled over onto his side.

Pulling the covers over them, she looked at him and smiled. “I have no regrets. Do you have any?”

He turned his head to look at her with a serious look on his face. “I do have regrets.”

This broke her heart, and she felt the tears forming in her eyes. She sat up in bed and couldn’t even look at him. “Maybe you better leave then.”

He sat up and turned her to face him. “I didn’t mean it the way you think I did.”

“I’m not an idiot, I know what you meant.”

“No, no you don’t. What I regret is having walked away from you that first night we slept together. I should have stayed and got to know you because since that night you’ve been on my mind.”

“Well, why didn’t you say that in the first place?”

“I was getting to it, now come and lay down in my arms.”

As she lay there nestled in his arms, something was nagging at her, and she had to talk to him about it. “What are we doing, and what happens from here on?”

“I think it’s quite obvious what we’re doing,” he said, chuckling.

She gave him a light slap on the arm. “You know what I’m talking about. Where do we go from here, and is this just a one-time thing for you?”

He stroked her arm, kissing the top of her head. “No, this was not just another one-night stand. I want to continue being with you. I couldn’t walk away from you now, even if I wanted to.”

“There’s going to be a lot of gossip around the office once everybody finds out.”

“I’ve been thinking about that,” he said, turning serious. “I think that we should keep our relationship a secret for now. If they find out, they might think that you got this job because we slept together.”

She looked up at him. “But they don’t know that we slept together before I came to work for you.”

“No, they don’t, but that won’t stop them from spreading that rumor around. I know how nasty some people can get, and I don’t want to see you get hurt, so just for the time being, let’s keep it between us. Then when the time is right, we’ll let them know.”

“I guess you’re right, I just don’t want to be your dirty little secret.”

He laid her back down on the bed and climbed on top of her. “You are not my dirty little secret, you are the woman I want to get to know better and spend time with. We still have a couple of days left in New York, and I’m going to take you to see the sights. I’m also going to take you to dinner and dancing, but right now, I’m going to make wild, hot love to you.”

She started giggling when he started kissing her neck. “That tickles,” she cried out as she started squirming.

For the next two days, they spent every minute together. As promised, he took her sightseeing, out to dinner and dancing. They made love at night and first thing in the morning when they woke up.

On the plane back to Orlando, they sat side by side in First class.

“I don’t know how I’m going to be able to keep my hands off you when we’re at the office. Maybe it will help if you wear some really old baggy clothes,” he said, winking at her.

“Now that wouldn’t be proper office attire. You have a reputation to uphold, and you wouldn’t want your personal assistant looking like a bum off the street, now would you?”

He closed his eyes and leaned back. “I think I’m going to get blue balls during working hours.

When they finally landed in Orlando, he drove her home to her apartment and walked her to the front door. “I still wish that you would come to my place and spend the night.”

She put her arms around his neck and pressed her body against his, knowing what she was doing when she felt how hard he had become. “I need to be here to get ready for work tomorrow. Even if I were to come to your place, neither one of us would get much sleep, and we do have a busy day tomorrow.”

“I guess you’re right, I’ll see you tomorrow.” Before leaving, he pulled her into his arms and lowered his lips onto hers. The kiss was passionate, it lasted such a long time, and only ended when the door to her apartment opened.

Brett was standing there, staring at Ace angrily but spoke to her. “Oh, it’s you, Rosalee. I heard a noise out here and thought I’d investigate.”

Ace looked back at him with as much anger. “There’s nothing to worry about, she’s in good hands, so you can go back inside.”

“I’m not too sure about that,” he said, stepping towards Ace but was stopped when she got in between them.

“Everything is fine, Brett, go on back in. I’ll be coming inside in a few minutes.” Once he went inside and closed the door, she turned to Ace. “I’m sorry about that, he’s a little overprotective.”

When the door had opened, and he saw Brett wearing only his jeans and no shirt, he had to wonder what the hell was going on. Was he living here, and were they sleeping together? “What the hell is he doing half-naked in your apartment?”

“Excuse me?” she asked, taken aback by his reaction.

“It’s a simple question. I always knew he had a thing for you, but you never mentioned that you two were together. How could you sleep with me knowing you had a man here waiting for you?”

“Oh my God, you’re jealous.”

When she started laughing, it made him angry, and he crossed his arms and stood back. “First of all, I am not the jealous type, and secondly, why didn’t you tell me that you were involved with him?”

“Oh, you silly man, we have never been or will be involved with each other. He is dating my friend, Eve. Brett and I are just friends, nothing more. I should be mad at you for accusing me of such a horrible thing. I’m not the kind of girl to sleep around with two different men.”

He was so relieved to hear this and felt terrible for thinking the worst. He moved closer and placed his hands on her shoulders. “I hope you can forgive me, and I guess you’re right.”

“Right about what?” she asked, looking up into his eyes.

“For thinking and saying what I just did. I would not have blamed you if you had slapped me across the face. But does the man have to parade around with no shirt on?” Yes, he was jealous when he saw Brett. It’s not like he himself didn’t have a good build, but this man had muscles on top of muscles.

“Well, it’s not entirely your fault. I could have told you that he and Eve were a couple now and that he was spending a lot of time here. But now I have to go inside and explain to them what’s going on. And you don’t have to worry, I’ll get them to promise not to say anything to anyone.”

He then pulled her back into his arms and kissed her before leaving.

Now she had to go in and face the music, knowing that she was probably going to get a lecture from both of them about getting involved with her boss.
