Page 16 of Say I Do

“And you’re nice.” I go to move past him, but he stops me.

“You’re nice too,” I tell him.

“And you let me do naughty things to you.” I did. I also enjoyed all of them.

Being with Caleb has been surreal. Never in my life have I been this close to someone before. I have never felt more seen. I often find myself wondering how the heck I got so lucky to find a man as kind as him. He dotes on me nonstop. Always making sure I’m taken care of. Luck for once is finally on my side.

A knock sounds at the door. “Sir?” I hear a woman call from the other side. I can see her shadow outlined through the frosted glass.

“My assistant,” Caleb tells me.

“Sir?” The woman knocks again.

“She’s rather persistent. Probably wondering where you've been.” He’s been so absent from the office.

“She can wait.” He shrugs like he has all the time in the world and I’m all that matters.

“Don’t be rude.” I laugh. “Is that the bathroom?" I motion toward a door.

"Yes."

“Then you get to work and do what you need to. I’m gonna freshen up a bit.”

“Leave my cum on you.” His deep voice is right next to my ear. I’m at a loss for words, so I simply nod my head. He releases his grip on me, allowing me to slip by. He wants his mark on me. It’s barbaric and over the top, but I love it. No one has ever wanted their mark on me. I haven't ever belonged to someone before.

"I’ll be busy at work," he teases me back before I enter the bathroom to make sure I look presentable if I'm about to meet people that work with him. I want to be professional. After all, I am still an employee of his.

From the looks of the ones I have seen so far, I'm way out of my league. I have never even worked somewhere before that didn't give you a uniform to wear! The last thing I want to do is embarrass myself, or worse, Caleb. He took a chance hiring me. That meant the world to me.

I run my fingers through my hair. My cheeks are slightly red and my lips are puffy, but I don't think anyone will notice. I can hear voices behind the door but can't distinguish them. I check under my skirt.

“Holy crap,” I whisper to myself. He really did come all over me. I had felt him release inside of me too. Him talking about giving me babies comes flooding back to my mind.

That’s insane. I know that. I haven’t known him very long. Nevertheless, being with him feels right. We have fallen so easily for each other. It’s difficult to think of my life without him now. But that doesn’t stop some doubt from flooding my mind.

When I was younger, there were a couple of families I’d gotten attached to. I was certain that those families would also be my forever home, but that didn't happen. No matter how badly I’d wanted it. I stopped getting attached after that. I’ve started tothink I have done that throughout my life. I’m friendly with everyone, but I don’t truly let people in too deep.

Lev comes to mind. I worked at Cup of Sugar with her. The two of us were night and day, but she always made me laugh. A few times she’d ask if I wanted to hang, and I would always make up a reason I couldn't. I have thought about her over the past few days. I should reach out to her.

Then it dawns on me that the coffee shop has closed. Crap, I know how badly Lev needed that job. She, too, was constantly taking on as many shifts as possible. I bet Caleb could help me find her. That man can do anything he puts his mind to.

When I step back out of the bathroom, I see Caleb is alone again, sitting behind his desk. He smirks when he sees me.

“Should I go over there?” I point to the couch. “So that you can get work done.”

“No, I mainly came here to get your phone.” He motions for me to come over to him. He pulls me into his lap.

“My phone?"

“Yes, yours is shit.” It is, but I haven’t needed it. I kind of forgot about it altogether.

“You can’t buy me a phone.” He already does way too much.

“I can, and I will. What if I need to reach you?”

“Well, first you’d have to not have me with you.” I laugh.

“This is true.” He kisses my neck. “But you never know. Things come up, and I don’t like the idea of not being able to reach you.”
