Seven

I sat at my desk,my cell to my ear with my laptop open. I had shit to do but there was a tornado of a distraction in my office.

Shestarted out on my sofa, wearing a white spaghetti-strapped dress with bright orange flowers, making the rest of the office feel like a morgue in comparison. Her voice was so goddamn chipper, and her constant laughter made my eyes move from the screen to her every few minutes.

She was talking to Rose, and she sounded so happy that I wished I'd connected them earlier. It also made me realize that I’d isolated her too much, she needed more friends and I was determined to fix that.

Unable to sit still, she laid down, kicking her feet over the edge of the sofa.

I watched as the bottom edge of her dress slowly, too damn slowly, slid down her thigh.

She was too distracted to notice but the sight of it was making my cock twitch.

"You there?" The sound of Knight's voice snapped me back to the phone.

"What happened?"

"There were no issues. We'll leave in two hours for the airport."

"Good. What happened with Dante’s cousin? We need him to hound Nero.” My eyes slid to Aster again, my attention on her hem, mentally willing it an inch higher to reveal the line of her panties.

I wondered what color she was wearing today.

“Does that work?” Knight sounded concerned, and I realized I hadn't even heard a word he said.

“Sure." I responded automatically, "I know you'll take care of it."

"Of course," he huffed. "And stop staring at Aster. She'll see right through you."

I scowled, my attention suddenly snapping back to the phone. "What the fuck are you talking about? If you have surveillance in this office, I'll fuck you up."

The sound of his amused laugh made me grit my teeth. "Dude, you're messed up over this girl, even more so than you were over Rose. You didn't even hear half of what I was saying, did you?"

"Just make sure he gets the job done. And text me when you leave."

"Will do, boss." The fucker was still laughing.

"Speaking of Rose, if she gets word about this, she's going for my balls first, then yours. So, keep your mouth shut."

"Don't I know it,” was all he said before he hung up. I slid my phone into my pocket, my finger clicking on the trackpad on my laptop, and my eyes went back to Aster.

White, I realized with a jolt, my dick thickening in my slacks. Her panties were white. I forced my eyes away from them and onto the screen of my computer just in time as she jumped to her feet, disappointment coiling through me as her dress slid back down her thighs.

She began to pace the room, running her hand through that fiery red hair, throwing her head back and laughing.

Rose must've developed a really fucking hilarious humor, for how she was making Aster laugh.

With her head thrown back, the graceful line of her jaw and neck were exposed. The edges of her nipples poked through the thin material of her dress, making me glad I'd turned up the air when we arrived.

And why the hell couldn't the woman wear a bra?Fuck, I wanted to bite her nipples with my teeth like a goddamn snack, they were so tasty.

Adjusting myself so my cock didn't burst from my pants, I forced my gaze back to my computer and clicked on the screen.

The face of Massimo and my father came up. Connecting my Bluetooth headphones to the computer, I hit play.

They droned on, my father trying not to appear desperate as he tried to smooth talk his way into Massimo's business.

I'd already had reassurances from Massimo before he left last night that he would string my father on as long I deemed necessary, so I wasn't worried much about it, but I wanted to make sure.
