Nathaniel turned and marched out of the room, but I couldn’t twist around to look. My vision went fuzzy, molten heat surged through me, and settled directly between my legs.
CHAPTER FOUR – Nathaniel
I remained in my office for the rest of the afternoon. My fingers tingled, hot and electric, for several minutes after the presentation. My trousers could barely contain my aching erection. All I could think about washer. Everything suddenly became abouther. How could this happen so quickly and from just one brief touch?
My office was nestled in the corner of the building between the storage room and drafting room. Few people came this way as most of our designs were done digitally these days. So it offered me the privacy I needed. Where no eyes could be one me as I stalked back and forth, extending and curling the fingers which had brushed Avery’s neck.
No one in my employ had ever spoken to me that way. Not a single person.
I was furious with her. At the same time, I wanted to bend her over the table and fuck her hard.
Did Avery feel the same thing? I hadn’t looked back when I left the meeting room. Surely she had to feel it. My attraction to her before was strong, but now I couldn’t think of anything other than her. Her sweet smile, her intelligence, the way she supported her friend who had utterly failed the assignment, and her marvelous tits so snug in her sweater. I wanted to tear that shirt off of her and bury my face between her breasts.
Fuck. My cock couldn’t wait until I got home.
The only windows in my office were the ones facing outside, and a massive pine blocked most of the view to the park behind the building. I rounded my desk and undid my pants as I sat back in my leather chair. Taking my shaft in one hand, the fingers which touched her wrapping around my dick, I groaned.
My eyes fluttered closed and her gorgeous face filled my mind. I stroked myself a few times before teasing my cock’s head. Pre-cum made it sticky already. Avery was driving me wild.
An intern stood up to me. A hot little sexy Omega intern.
I jerked my dick as I recalled the surprise and delight on her face this morning when Avery opened her first Secret Santa gift. It had been pure luck that Mazria stopped by Landon’s party on Friday night. I’d known Avery focused on sustainable architecture. It had been one of the reasons I’d agreed to letting her intern at Donner Designs. It wasn’t a favor to Noelle. My firm needed more young and eco-conscious thinkers.
Avery’s face had brightened, her cheeks going rosy, and her eyes shining like gold. She’d hugged the books to her chest for the longest time before setting them so carefully on her desk as if they were fragile works of art.
Would she look so beautiful as I slid my cock into her? Would she gasp and wiggle, tightening her pussy around me? Would she soak us in her slick and scream my name as she came?
My erection swelled and exploded. Thick ropes of cum erupted out and splattered on my pants. I bit back my growling cry of pleasure, making it sound more like I was snarling with fury.
Fuck me, but I was. So angry. Because I couldn’t do anything about this. She was my employee. Why did the one Omega who ever made me want her have to be a goddamn intern in my firm?
I continued to curse under my breath as I cleaned myself up, barely getting the tissues tossed into the garbage bin before my office phone rang.
I clicked the phone to be on speaker as I did up my pants. “Yes?”
“Nate, I really want to apologize.” Gina. I should have expected her to want to chat after her intern’s failure. “I gave Jessalyn full control over her project to show off her own style. We’ve been so busy with other things, I didn’t get a chance to go over it with her before the presentation.”
“Don’t apologize. I wanted to see the interns’ skills with this project. Jessalyn isn’t incapable, but it just wasn’t what I was looking for.” The blonde made a passable architect, and was only recommended to me by a friend of a friend. Likely that friend owed Jessalyn’s family a favor. “Keep her strictly on commercial projects under your supervision from here on out. We’ll review her performance again in three months.”
“Commercial is where I think she belongs too,” Gina agreed.
I stared out the window, watching the wind whip at the pine boughs. I couldn’t stop myself from asking, “What do you think of the other intern?”
“Avery?” Gina’s voice hitched with surprise and caution.
“Yes. I want someone’s opinion who isn’t her aunt.” Not that I didn’t trust Noelle’s assessment of her niece, but I trusted Gina as she was someone who was bluntly honest about people’s skills.
“Avery is fantastic, a definite sweetheart. She has a lot of natural talent and could be one of the most influential architects in the future. She’s very much into the green movement, and I could see her eventually moving on to help grow that part of the industry.” Gina paused and then added, “Did she step out of line today by defending Jessalyn’s design? I’m sure she didn’t mean to anger you.”
“No, it shows me she’s a team player, and you know that’s important to the firm.” It’s why I never complained about all their social events even when I had no love for the holidays. Employees who liked one another and worked well together produced more cohesive and bold designs. One thing Gina said didn’t settle well with me though. “You think she’ll leave here after her internship?”
“Avery is already part of the Donner Designs family. Any of us would be happy to work with her.” There was genuine fondness in Gina’s tone. “She wants to create sustainable designs. I think Avery would be perfect for Architecture 2030 or ZGF Architects.”
No, Avery wasn’t going anywhere. She was going to stay right fucking here.
My immediate reaction startled me, and it took me a few seconds to get over the ferocity of it. “Thanks for your honest opinion, Gina.” I ran a hand through my hair and breathed out to center myself. “Have a good evening.”
“You too, Nate.” Gina ended the call, and I turned on the answering service for my work phone before turning back to the window and pressing my forehead against it.
