My cock thickened when her hand brushed my thigh. I let out a slow breath to try and get it to calm down.

“What’s the matter?” Brooke asked like the innocent devil she was. Her fingers skimmed the edge of my shorts.

“Nothing,” I said between labored breaths.

“Really? Because it looks like you’re?—“

“I have to start wearing more than gym shorts around you.”

“What? Why? You should wear whatever’s comfortable. It’s not like we’re in an office or something.”

The lines I had been trying so hard not to cross disappeared. I brought her hand to the front of my shorts and pressed her palm to my cock. “That’s why.”

Her lips parted as she looked down.

I gripped her chin and forced her eyes back up to me. “Don’t look so surprised. You did this to me the night we kissed outside. Hell, you’ve done this every day since you showed up in my driveway.”

“Ray—” Her breathless whisper of my name made my dick throb against her palm.

Brooke squeezed.

“Baby—”

A wicked smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and she squeezed again.

“You’re a fucking tease,” I rasped as I breathed through the urge to come right then and there.

“Is it wrong if I want you?” Her breath turned ragged as she slipped over to straddle me. Her knees sank into the couch cushions. Our lips lingered a breath apart.

She leaned in, but I slid my hand up the back of her scalp, fisted her hair, and yanked down, exposing her throat.

“Yes,” I growled. “It is.”

“You’re my... boss.” She gasped when I latched onto her throat and sucked.

“That’s right.”

“And I... I signed... an...”

“You signed what?” I said as I kissed up her jaw.

She swallowed. “An agreement. That I... that I wouldn’t...”

“Spit it out,” I said as I licked up the shell of her ear. Her skin tasted like summer. I wanted to know what she tasted like everywhere.

“That I wouldn’t have a relationship with a client.”

I tightened my hand in her hair. “Who said this is a relationship?”

“Then what is it?”

I smirked against her lips. “This is just kissing, baby.”

Her breath was warm and sweet. “Then let me kiss you.”

But I wanted so much more from her. Things that I couldn’t rightly ask for. I kept her mouth off of mine with my hand in her hair. “Hands behind your back.”

She moved immediately, clasping her hands together.
