"Oh, well, that depends on what stage in life I'm currently at... or how I feel in the moment. Right now I feel like teasing my neighbor," she said, looking over her shoulder.

"Neighbor or roommate?" I teased right back.

I stood behind her, inhaling the scent of her hair. It smelled like cherries today. Did she keep changing her shampoos, or was it perfume? Was it the smell of her skin? Was that even possible?

"Both," she whispered.

"That night was fantastic," I said. I hadn't meant to bring it up, but I couldn't help myself; I needed her to know that I'd enjoyed it, that it wasn't just a fluke. I definitely didn't want to forget about it.

She turned around, looking straight into my eyes. "I know, right? I thought maybe I'd hyped it up in my mind, but no... it was delicious. The dinner and the kiss.”

I grinned, loving that she took it in stride. "I like you, Diane."

She sucked in a deep breath. "Don't say that, Gabe, because I'm so attracted to you that I can't even think straight."

"Why are you saying that like it's a problem?" I all but growled.

"Because I think Celia would kick my ass if she knew."

I stilled. “Why?”

Diane laughed and ran her hand through her hair. "Because you're her boss, and, well... you know, things can be weird. Anyway, I thought I was doing such a great job behaving, and then I went and flashed you."

"I didn't see too much. Though I wanted to."

I tilted closer, kissing one corner of her mouth. She shuddered.

"Do you like this?" I asked. When she nodded, I moved to the other corner of her mouth and kissed it too. "How about this?"

She gripped the hem of my T-shirt; I took that as a yes.

I put a hand on her back, drawing a straight line from the base of her spine up to the back of her neck. "You want me to touch you, Diane?"

"Yes. God yes, I do. I want you."

Chapter Eleven

Gabe

I moved my mouth down her jaw and the front of her neck, tilting her slightly backward. She completely trusted me. It was a huge turn-on. Then I kissed back up her throat and drew her lower lip in my mouth before kissing her. She moaned against my mouth instantly, curling her arms around my neck and plastering the front of her body against mine.

I felt a light thrum through her. She needed more than a kiss; she wanted to come, and I was going to give her everything she craved. I wanted to see her come apart in my arms and feel the pleasure unraveling inside her.

I moved us deeper into the room without breaking the kiss, finally resting her against one of the exposed brick walls. It was a nook of sorts.

I started by kissing her slow and deep, savoring the way her body vibrated. She moaned, her tongue moving against mine without restraint. I wrapped one hand in her hair and moved the other one down her back, circling her tailbone. She shuddered at the contact, and I nearly lost it.

I raised her dress slowly, giving her all the time in the world to stop me, but she didn't. In fact, she grabbed at her dress, bringing it around her waist herself, as if she needed me to thrust faster.

I ran my hand down the front of her body, pressing my palm on her navel before reaching down, tortuously slow.

"Oh God, I want you so much," she whispered.

Hanging on to my last threads of self-control, I moved my hand farther down over her panties. I slipped it between her thighs, pressing against her pussy. She moaned even harder than before, spasming against me. I lowered my hand down her right thigh. Her legs were perfectly toned, and her skin was soft. I could touch her forever. I wanted to lick every inch of her before focusing on her pussy and giving her relief. But we didn't have time for that, and she was too on edge to withstand that sort of teasing and taunting.

I inched my hand back up between her thighs and instantly turned hard when I realized she’d drenched her panties. Fuck, the way this woman responded to me was absolutely delicious. Needing to touch her bare skin, I pushed her panties down to her knees. She groaned against my mouth.

"I want you to feel my tongue and fingers at the same time," I whispered before kissing her again as I slid my fingers inside her, first one and then another.
