I can’t hold back the grin splitting my face. Offbeat, to be sure, but her determination is a definite ego stroke. “I thought that was my job.”

“You want to win the girl, you buy her a ring. You want to win the guy, you buy him one.” Calli leans in, pressing that luscious mouth to mine once more. “Which way is your office? Go tend to your business and then come tend to me.”

That garners myfullattention, and my lady damn well knows it as she sashays down the hall, showing off her well-toned assets to the office.

Am I watching her walk away? Fuck yes, I am.

So is everyone else.

My receptionist shoots daggers in Calli’s direction, but she’d better used to the idea of her being around.

She’s here to stay.

I loosenmy tie as I step into my office. Finally, I’m finished for the day. Without fail, an appointment that should have taken twenty minutes lasted twice that long.

But my patient left happy, and now, I’m about to be very happy.

“I hope you’re ready because I’ve been waiting—” My words grind to a halt as I catch sight of Callista, asleep on the couch, her legs tucked under her.

Chuckling, I kneel beside her, pressing a kiss to her lips. “What a gyp. Here I was, all cocked and loaded.”

A slow smile spreads across her mouth, her eyes still closed. But her hand loops around my neck, preventing any distance. “Where do you think you’re going?”

Before she can protest, I hoist her slight frame into my arms, pulling her tight against me. “Let’s go home.”

Those bright eyes pop open, studying me. “Home?”

“Granted, home is currently a hotel suite. But we can work on that. Effective immediately.”

Calli reaches up, her delicate fingers tracing along my jaw. “You’re wrong. Home is wherever you are. I realized that when I let you go. I won’t make that mistake again.”

Perhaps it’s her words or the fire burning in her gray depths, but the hotel suite is much too far away. I can’t wait.

Setting her on my mahogany desk, I push her legs apart, my hands running along her thighs. Then I grasp the edge of her lacy underwear and rip it from her body, earning a shocked scoff.

“Those were expensive.”

As if I care. I’ll buy her a hundred more, just for the chance to rip every pair from her body. “Now they’re on the floor. I told you that’s my favorite spot for all your lacy lingerie.”

A heated look crosses Calli’s features as her hand twines around my tie, drawing my mouth to hers. “I like this game.”

“You haven’t seen anything yet. I’m going to fuck you so hard, you’ll be shaking the rest of the night.”

A slow smile crosses her full lips as she leans back on the desk and hikes her skirt up to her waist. “What are you waiting for?”

Absolutely nothing now.

I fumble off my belt, my pants falling around my ankles. I’ll give her better later, love every inch of her body, but right now, I need to reclaim what’s mine.

I slide my cock against her slick skin and she moans, spreading her legs wider.

She’s as desperate as I am.

“Please Keegan, I ache for you.”

That’s all I need to hear.

With a grunt, I bury myself inside her, my hands gripping her thighs so tight they’ll leave marks.
