Page 114 of David's Love

“No way. How do you know about that? And are you thinking really long-term?”

“Why not? It could be fun.”

She pulls up closer and searches my eyes.

I feel fine with her scrutiny.

“You’re a different man, Boss.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment. Now go. I have work to do,” I say, checking my watch.

She flashes a smile.

“So tonight. Dress comfortably. We’ll have so much fun.”

She blows me a kiss that it’s so inappropriate, yet it makes me smile, and I watch her vanish down the corridor before I go straight to my office.

ELIZABETH

My hopesof seeing him walking down the corridor are dashed when I raise my eyes from my tablet and spot Julie rushing past the door.

All right.

I guess it’s time to go then.

I move my eyes back to my work.

I can finish this at home, so I slide the tablet into my bag and push to my feet.

Suddenly, the door closes quietly, and I flick my eyes in that direction.

Wearing a smile, David closes the distance between us. He reaches under the table and presses a button.

The door locks, the blinds go down, and the lights dim.

A smile grows on my face.

“What is going on?” I murmur, mystified, as his fingers slide into my hair.

He tilts my head back and crashes his mouth onto mine, invading me with his smell, his taste, and his strength.

My arms loop around this neck while he pulls me into his chest.

We kiss with hunger as if we’re not at work.

“Are we doing naughty things now?” I ask when we break the kiss, and he reaches the back of my thighs, lifts me up, and sets me on his desk. “David?” I protest. “They’re gonna catch us?”

He laughs quietly while taking his jacket off.

“Who’s they? There is no they. I’m the boss.”

“James is here and everybody else.”

Propped back on my elbows, I watch him remove his tie and open his shirt. He leans forward. I lean back even more.

“James knows and doesn’t care. Everybody else? They don’t care. We’ll tell them anyway. Do you want me to eat you out or not?” he asks, a lopsided smile on his lips.

I laugh quietly while his eyes trail down.
