Page 83 of One Good Reason

“You ‘bout to start some shit, Talitha,” I groaned. She knew what the fuck she was doing because she had her ass planted right on my dick and instead of moving, she began to sway her hips, rocking back and forth against my shit. When I bricked up again, I knew she’d won, and my night wasn’t ending anytime soon.

Iwas sitting behind my desk in my office when the intercom on my phone chimed. My assistant was letting me know that I had a pop-up visitor. After giving her the okay to let whoever was encroaching on my time into my office I closed out my applications and loosened my tie.

As soon as my office door pushed opened, the notes from the very familiar perfume wafted through the air.

“We do pop ups now?” I quired. Pushing back from my desk, I stood, rounded the desk, and met her in the center of the room.

“I’ve gotta do something. It seems as if you’re such a busy man these days.” Adele frowned.

Wrapping my arms around her, I pulled her into a hug. When I pulled back, I pecked her on the forehead and released her. “You could’ve called and let me know you were in town.”

“And have you not agreeing to lunch. Nonsense. I figured if I show up, you couldn’t turn down my invitation.”

Laughing heartily, I shook my head and took my seat back at my desk. “That’s where you’re wrong dear. I can still turn you down. Especially if I have prior obligations.”

Sliding out of her jacket, she tossed it over the chair and stood at the corner of my desk. “Well… do you?”

“Lucky for you, I don’t.” I winked. “I was going over a few reports, but I could eat. I was in such a rush this morning I was only able to down an apple.”

“You mean to tell me Lawton Harvey didn’t start his morning with a hearty breakfast.”

“Right.” I chuckled. “Believe it or not, I had long night last night and an even longer morning,” I admitted.

After fucking Talitha senseless in the shower last night, her ass wasn’t trying to let me leave. Once we were finished washing up, we ended up in bed which resulted in us rolling around in the sheets. Only God knows what time she finally let my ass go to sleep. In her defense, she was making up for lost time and my ass wasn’t complaining not one bit.

Furrowing her brows, Adele asked, “Is that so?”

“It is. What did you have in mind for lunch?”

“Intermezzo’s, of course.” She giggled.

“Give me a second to wrap this up and I’ll have Baker bring the truck around.”

“Okay.” She gave me a small smile and took a seat in the chair.

It took about fifteen minutes for me to shut down and once I was done, the two of us were leaving my office.

“How has business been with Sincere and Hendrix?” I quizzed when we landed in the back seat of the truck.

“Surprisingly… everything has been good.”

“And you doubted me?”

“I didn’t doubt you, Harvey,” she denied. “I was skeptical. I didn’t know how the two of them conducted business; it was never for me to know. You handled them and I handled my part. So when you requested a change, I was a bit taken back. I knew it would happen eventually, I just never presumed it would be this fast.”

“Neither did I. But I’ve somehow packed my plate full of other things and I don’t have the time to oversee it anymore.”

“How’s that going?”

“Surprisingly, extremely well. My partner and I are working hard on trying to make sure we get everything done before we submit the application for accreditation.” I ended up telling Adele a fraction of what my newest business venture was. I didn’t divulge too much because I didn’t need her trying to pry into my business.

“What’s the end result going to look like? Meaning after you’ve received accreditation. Are you planning on stepping back from Tech Law?”

“Absolutely not, that’s my baby. The school is more of my partners’ vision. I’ll still handle my business as far as it’s concerned but I fully plan on letting her handle everything.”

“Her…” she hummed. “Is thisheryour newest concubine?”

“Concubine? Adele… what the fuck?” I laughed. “Where is that head of yours?”
