Chapter Twenty-Four

Lexi

Brad was scheduledto leave for Baltimore the day after tomorrow. The thought of not seeing him for a few days was not sitting well with me. He hadn’t even left yet, and I’d already starting missing him. I stood outside his office in the blue dress that I had carefully selected. It was his favorite.

His door was open, so I popped my head in. “Hey!” His head lifted in surprise at the sound of my voice. He had no idea I was stopping by. His gaze did a slow trek up my body, lingering on the plunging neckline of my dress. I would be lying if I said my heart didn’t accelerate a little faster by the look he gave me.

“I hope you’re not too busy to go to lunch with your girlfriend, especially since she took the rest of the day off so she could come see you.”

Brad crossed the room and wrapped me in his arms. “I’m never too busy for my girlfriend, especially when she walks into my office looking hotter than sin,” he whispered in a low voice against my ear. He knew I was sensitive there, and he was intentionally letting his mouth linger over that damn spot that got me every time.

Words failed me as his lips trailed down my throat making a path across my skin. He threaded his fingers into my hair. “What did I ever do to deserve you?”

“I’ve been asking myself the same thing.” I smiled, feeling warmth spread through me.

“Are you trying to distract me from my work day?”

I shook my head playfully. “No, just wanted to take you out to lunch, silly.”

The smile he gave me was everything. “You and I might have a slightly different idea on what I want for lunch.” He took my bottom lip between his teeth and sucked.

“Brad,” my voice pleaded as he slowly backed me up against his metal desk. My plan was to put on his favorite dress and get him a little worked up, just for the fun of it. I had no intention of seducing him at his workplace, but I was growing more comfortable with the idea by the minute.

He lifted his hand and brought it to my cheek, his face grew soft and affectionate. “I don’t want to leave you. Just give me this please. I need you, Lexi.”

The want and the need in his voice caused my resolve to snap. Even though we had slept in the same bed every night, there hasn’t been much of anything else going on. He’d barely touched me since everything that had happened with Colton a couple of nights ago.

His strong hands gripped my hips tighter, digging his fingers into my hipbone. The sparkle in his eyes caused me to wrap my arms around his neck and flatten them at the base. Even though I was fully dressed, I felt completely naked. He inched his lips to the corner of my mouth. There was no reason for me to even try to fight it. I wanted him. I was aching for him.

“You’re not the only one who needs this.” I said truthfully. “I just want you to leave so you can hurry up and come back to me.”

He pulled me to his mouth. “I’ll always come back to you.” He said, and then kissed me like it was the last time he would ever get the chance. The thought of getting caught rested in the back of my mind. It caused me to shift uncomfortably. He drew back and looked into my eyes. “Don’t worry about somebody walking in. It’s just you and me. Nothing is going to stop me from taking you on this desk.”

His hand reached out and grabbed the back of my hair. I tilted my head to get a better look at him. “Are you sure we can do this? Anyone could walk in here. What if someone hears us?” I whispered against his mouth, giving him one last chance to change his mind and get back to his work.

He gently laid me flat down on his desk and examined my body like it was a bomb he planned on dismantling. Then he walked over to the door and clicked the lock shut.

“You can come here wearing that dress anytime you like. I love it when you tease me. It only makes me want you even more.” He licked his lips as I closed my eyes and placed my hands on the cool surface of his desk. “I don’t want you to think about anything other than what’s right here in this room. It’s just us.” His hands slid up underneath my dress, taking their sweet time exploring my skin. “You’re so fucking perfect for me. Do you know that?”

I just nodded, unable to speak while his hands worked their up along my breast. I reached for his belt trying to ignore the noise on the other side of the door. “We need to be quiet,” I whispered while his hand closed in on my thigh and squeezed.

When he inched closer, brushing his leg against my center, I was starting to doubt my ability to actually keep silent. A crooked grin took over his face as he hovered over me. “I told you I don’t want you thinking about anyone else but me when I’ve got my hands on you. No one gets in-between you and me. Ever.”

A gasp escaped when I felt his hands trace over my breasts through the fabric of my lace bra. The heat of his fingers against my skin was too much. He quickly undid the clasp, springing my breasts free. They fell perfectly into his waiting hands.

“I’m going to fuck you in nothing but this dress.”

There I laid on his desk with my dress pushed up, knees spread and hung open for him. I knew he loved me and there was no doubt in my mind that this was so much more than just two adults connecting their bodies strictly for pleasure. It felt like he was worshipping me with every touch and every word and I couldn’t get enough.

His hands trailed up the inside of my leg, landing against my clit. Brad knew exactly what he was doing as he applied pressure at just the right time.

“Oh God.” I rasped, before biting down on my bottom lip in a failed attempt to keep myself quiet. Brad hissed out a breath as I arched my body against his hand.

My fingers clumsily worked the button of his dress pants. I was so anxious for him, I would have begged and pleaded if he’d wanted me to. His hands moved back up to my breast, fondling each one in the palms of his hands. I freed his erection and started to pump him with my hands.

He pulled my dress up further, the cold air hit my skin making everything more sensitive. His hair was sticking up at the top and his eyes were filled with lust. God, I loved him. My hands forcefully pushed his pants and boxers down his thighs. Every muscle in his body tensed as I grabbed onto his ass and pulled him against me.

His eyes pierced mine with an intensity that had me wanting him more than I could have ever thought possible. “We have to make this quick. I’m not going to last. I promise to make it up to you later.”
