Page 64 of Words I Couldn't Say
AGROAN ESCAPED MY LIPSwhen I tore my gaze away from the stack of invoices on my desk to take a peek at the clock. It was barely even noon. I should’ve taken Tanner up on his offer to tackle billing this week, but instead, I’d insisted he take off and go enjoy his Friday evening, throwing him a couple of extra twenties if he’d stay with a buddy for the night. It was selfish of me because I wanted him out of the house all night. And, because Ava and I had our first date that night, I had to get all my paperwork done or I’d be taking my work home with me. No way in hell was that happening.
It’d been nearly a week and a half since that day on the set. Funny thing—I knew she had been teasing when she’d said that she had to check her schedule, but when it was all said and done, they’d ended up filming late into that night. Same with Saturday. So she had given me a rain check, and that day was finally here. The tabloids, shockingly, had gone wild with wondering who her new mystery man was. Since they knew there wouldn’t be any juicy stories with Leo, they’d latched on to us. Neither of us cared much. Hell, we hadn’t had time to.
We’d only seen each other in passing all week due to her demanding filming schedule. Most mornings, she was out the door by four a.m. and didn’t come stumbling into my bed until well past nine. She had enough time to grab a shower and a quick bite to eat before passing out in my bed. I understood her exhaustion, so instead of trying to seduce her, I curled up in bed beside my woman and held her as close as humanly possible as she slept.
One night, however, she’d apparently been missing me, because she’d insisted I shower with her. My dick had swelled at the image of Ava naked and on her knees, kneeling before me, taking my cock into her perfect mouth. Sure, a month ago, I’d been a virgin, but like I’d told Ava, she’d awakened my primal side and I could get enough of her. Her sweet, sweet taste. Her tender touch. When it came to her, I was on the fast track to becoming a subject matter expert.
It wasn’t just the sex, either. I was grateful for each and every day I had with Ava, regardless that most of our time together was spent sleeping. We were together, openly dating, and having her back in my life was a gift I would do everything in my power to make last. Filming was wrapping up soon, and we hadn’t had the talk about what to do after her time in Cincinnati was up. Not wanting to think of it, I settled back in my chair and closed my eyes, conjuring up that mental image of Ava. I groaned at the immediate tightness in my jeans. I didn’t want to spend the rest of the afternoon with a raging hard-on. So I’d bang out the rest of the paperwork and then, that night, I’d bang Ava.
I know. Romantic, right?
Pushing all thoughts of my naked woman’s perfect lips wrapped around my cock out of my mind, I grabbed the next invoice and got to work. I was making good headway when a knock on the door threatened to distract me.
“I’m busy,” I barked, not bothering to look up from my desk.
There was a slight pause before her sultry voice filled the silence. “Well, in that case, Tucker, I suppose I’ll just have to come back later.”
My head snapped up as Ava stepped into my office and closed the door behind her, leaning against it. I shamelessly took in the sight of her. She was a vision in a teal sundress paired with cowgirl boots that unfortunately covered her shapely legs. The hint of cleavage was enough to revive my dick and make my mouth water. When my perusal came to its culmination on her face, she was raising an eyebrow at me, her lips curved up in a sexy smile. Her eyes sparkled with a mischief I wanted to explore.
“Baby, you know I’m never too busy for you. It’s just all those other jackholes out there I don’t have time to deal with. After all, I have a hot date tonight.”
Without a word, Ava turned, and with a wicked fire in her eyes, she licked her lips. I definitely liked where this was heading. She crossed the room and stood in front of me, the wooden desk the only thing separating us, which I’d happily shove aside just to get to her.
She leaned forward and placed her hands on my desk, giving me the perfect view down her dress. Her nipples were already hard. Funny, so was I. When I looked back at her, she was checking me out, not missing the hard bulge in my work jeans.
“So I heard,” she said throatily. “In fact, I’m here to see if we can’t start that a little early.”
I swallowed hard as she rounded the desk and walked behind my office chair. She rested her on my shoulders at the same time her lips hovered just above my ear. A delighted shiver ran down my spine with each warm breath that kissed my skin.
“But I was hoping we could start with dessert first. I don’t know about you, but I’m famished.” She dragged my chair back then positioned her ass on the desk so we were face-to-face. Or, well, face-to-chest.
Not that I was complaining. I tried to be a gentleman most of the time, but with her ample breasts directly in front of me, I was one breath away from becoming a motor-boating son of a bitch.
She placed her finger under my chin and, with ease, lifted my head so my gaze reached hers. “Ladies first, right?” she asked as if she had to get permission from me.
If she were willing to give, I didn’t mind being a selfish man.
“Yeah, baby. Ladies first. Always.”
A wicked grin played on her lips. She placed her hands on my thighs, just barely grazing my erection, making it strain against my jeans as it begged for release. Her fingers trailed up the denim until she flattened her palm and leisurely caressed me up and down. All too soon, she removed her hand and frowned, sighing in disappointment.
“Too bad you’re busy. We could’ve had a whole lot of fun.” She hopped off the desk and darted past me, but I wasn’t going to let that happen.
I needed to get work done, but with Ava standing there, all but begging to give me a blowjob, invoices were the furthest thing from my mind. What is it they say? All work and no play? Yeah, she’d gotten me this hot and bothered. She wasn’t leaving until my every last craving was satisfied.
“Stop.”
One word, but it was my tone that caused her to obey. Her back was still me, and I wondered just how far Ava would let this go.
“If you think you can come in here and rile me up then leave me with blue balls, you’re sorely mistaken. Turn around.”
She was stock-still for a moment, as if she were trying to determine if she was going to listen. My grin widened when she finally did. Ever so slowly, she did as I ordered. When she was facing me, she had her lower lip sucked between her teeth in the most innocent yet seductive expression.
