Page 9 of Falling for Mr. Corporate

I clutched at the sheet no longer needing to jerk my cock for the impending climax I could feel coming on. Tate’s member felt immense as he drove hard into my ass over and over. He clutched my shoulders to anchor him which only made his thrusts more powerful. I cried out from the intensity of his passion for me, amazed at the things he was able to make me feel.

Our climax was hard when it hit. The stiffening in his body mirrored the reaction of mine as I emptied my seed onto the bed beneath me and he did the same in the condom. I collapsed onto the bed with him heavy on top of me. When we were able to think clearly, he pulled out of me. I was still trying to catch my breath, but he walked through the door leading to his bathroom and returned with a wet towel to clean me up. I lay back and allowed him to handle it because my legs were too weak for me to move anyway.

When he returned to bed beside me, he lay on his side, pulling me to him, so we could spoon. He rubbed his hand over my chest, caressing and tweaking my nipples while he kissed my neck and shoulder.

“That was amazing,” he whispered, licking the shell of my ear.

“Yes,” I said in agreement with a lazy smile. I nestled against him, while he placed an arm around me, caressing my chest and continued kissing my shoulder. The way he kissed told me a lot about him. He was affectionate by nature and I liked that. It was something that was different about him and Keith who would have rolled out of bed already.

“Bryan, can I ask you something?” Tate asked hesitantly.

“Sure,” I replied and leaned back my head so he could kiss me which he did.

“Why did you really come up here in the mountains?” he enquired. “I know you’ve hinted at it but, doesn’t really explain why you’re alone.”

I sighed and resigned myself to the fact that I would have to explain the situation.

“I was persuaded into going hiking with my boss,” I started to say, then decided to come clean about it all. “My boss and boyfriend. It’s an annual thing he does with a group of friends from college. All four of them go hiking and relive the glory days but one of them fell ill and Keith asked me to go along with them.”

I felt him stiffen behind me. “You’ve a boyfriend?” he asked, his tone biting.

I turned in his arms to face him. “No, I broke things off,” I replied. “That’s why I was heading down the mountain alone.”

He was silent for a few seconds. “Do you love him?” I bit my bottom lip to prevent my smile. He sounded jealous the way he asked the question.

“I never loved him,” I answered honestly. “He doesn’t love me either. I think one thing just led to another. We work in the same building. In fact, I’m his Personal Assistant and well, things just happened. I need to find a new apartment as soon as I get back to San Diego.”

“You live with him but don’t love him?” Tate exploded in disbelief.

“Keith can be persuasive,” I answered on the defensive.

“Or maybe you’re just too easily persuaded,” he quipped.

“What does it matter now anyway?” I asked him.

“Because earlier you asked me what I wanted,” he returned, shifting away from me. “But it just occurred to me that you may not even have a clue what it is that you want. Why don’t you think about that?”

I stared in shock at his naked ass and broad back as he strolled from the bedroom. Where the hell had this serious conversation come from? And what did he mean that I didn’t know what I wanted? I wanted him but how the hell would that work out when we lived in two different realities? I could not give up my life as I knew it, to stay with a man I’d just met up in the mountains off San Diego.

He was right about one thing. I had been too hasty in shacking up with Keith and would not make the same mistake twice. No matter how good Tate made me feel when he pulled me into his arms for a kiss.

Chapter Eight

“Hey, feel up to fishing?” Tate asked, walking into the cabin. As always, when I glanced up at him, it caused a warm feeling to roil around in my belly. He looked gorgeous dressed in snug fitting faded blue jeans and T-shirt with the arms ripped out.

“I’m not sure,” I answered, reluctantly. He already knew I wasn’t into the outdoorsy activities.

“Come on, it’ll be fun,” he insisted, walking over to me. “I can see you’re bored.”

He was right about that. I didn’t understand how he could choose mountain life over the beauty of the city. I could see it as a retreat every now and again but to live permanently up here was a bust. There was nothing to do and I was already all movied out.

“I really don’t know anything about fishing,” I warned, although I felt myself capitulating.

“Don’t worry, I’m a good teacher.”

He winked at me and when he was playful like this, which was rare, he was irresistible.

So, I ended up walking beside him in the direction of the river. We went slowly so I didn’t have to put too much pressure on my ankle, although I could barely feel it hurting today. It hit me that I would be leaving soon. I had no more than two days to get off this mountain and to a work, I wasn’t sure I still had. I already knew what was going to happen. Keith would try to win me over, to manipulate me. Maybe when he realized I truly meant we were over, he wouldn’t want me working for him anymore. In the event this happened, I could always sue for sexual harassment in the workplace but I didn’t believe in stirring up drama so, I’d probably leave and just find a new start.
