"But," I said, hoping there was a but.

"But I wouldn't see you every day all day long. And that idea was a deal-breaker for me." Beth smiled softly and rested her hand on mine. "I don't want to work for him. I want to work for you, and even if people talk about me—which I really pray they don't—it's the price I'm willing to pay. Will, I'm falling for you. I just want to be with you."

A sudden urge to have her alone hit me, and I couldn't control it. I rose off my chair and leaned forward, kissing her. She parted her lips for me, and I slid my tongue into her mouth and searched it, then bit her lip.

"I feel like if I don't get you alone right now, I'm going to go mad…Let's get out of here," I whispered gruffly, and she smiled against another kiss I planted on her mouth.

I straightened and dropped a few hundred-dollar bills on the table, and she rose and put her coat on. Before we even got into the limo, I had my hands all over her. Hearing her turn down such an amazing offer from a competitor wasn't the turn-on. It was the fact that she'd done it because she wanted me. She had a chance to cut ties with my firm and still keep me, see her career soar into the future of her possibly owning her own firm one day, and she chose me. She chose time and proximity to me.

Now that was a woman worth fighting for.

We climbed into the limo and I pulled her against my body, kissing her deeper. Beth's hands groped me, pulling at my clothing and mussing my hair. I matched her energy, though I knew she'd definitely outlast me if we kept it up long enough. Her vigor led her onto my lap where she straddled me and continued the make-out session, and while I had such a hunger to take her right here, I forced myself to stay in control. We'd have the penthouse to ourselves, and I wanted to enjoy her.

BETH

The minute Will leaned down and kissed me in the restaurant I was on fire for him. Now, straddling his lap in the limo I could barely keep control of myself. I slid my hand into his slacks and gripped his dick, stroking him, though it was difficult with his belt in the way. But when I tried to undo it, he clicked his tongue at me.

"Ah, ah," he said against my mouth, and I nipped at his lip.

"But I want you," I whispered, and I kissed him harder. After last time, being observed by his driver as we did this, I felt a little less nervous. The partition was up, and Will's hands were all over me. I loved it.

"I want you to, but don't you want this to last?" His lips trailed down my jawline slowly, tempering my pace. I'd have had his dick out and in me by now, but he was pacing himself. "I want to enjoy you all night long."

I growled with frustration and desire. I wanted to enjoy this too, but my groin ached so badly for him. I let him slide his hand up under my skirt where he touched me lightly. His eyes popped open and his eyebrows rose as he smiled.

"No panties? Ms. Reid, did you intend to seduce me tonight?"

I smirked at him and ground my pelvis down on him harder, forcing his fingers inside me. Then I grinned as I started rocking my hips. Will didn't shy away. He let me work myself down around his fingers and continued to curl them ever so slightly to hit the spot that felt good.

"Maybe…" I purred, kissing him again. My hands rested on his shoulders and my hips rose and fell on his lap. "I might just be falling for you, Mr. Caldwell." In the beginning, saying his full name felt awkward, impersonal. It felt risqué and dangerous. Now it felt sexy and seductive, and I loved the way it rolled off my tongue.

"God you turn me on when you say my name like that." He bit down on my pulse point and I knew it would bruise, but for once I didn't care. I'd already been dealing with someone harassing me about this anyway, so if they were going to talk about it and think it, I might as well give them something to talk about.

"Will," I said, as he sucked on my neck and kept his fingers inside me curling. My body was on fire for him, but my heart needed a pause for a second.

"Mmm," he said, and his hand gripped my breast, kneading it through the fabric of my sweater and bra.

"Will, I need to say this…" I panted and arched into him when he hit my clit with his thumb, and he growled against my collarbone before biting down. My mind had been made up for days and I hadn't even had a chance to talk to him, but I knew he was the one for me.

My entire life, my reputation had been the most important thing to me. I wanted to build my career and be someone. I worked so hard to have a name I could be proud of and a work ethic that would turn heads, and I had it all; it was working. And while all of that was still so important to me, I'd realized that Will was too. I never expected him to happen, but now that he had, I knew I never wanted this to stop.

"Will, please," I said, and I grabbed his wrist. His fingers stopped curling inside me and I stopped grinding on him. His eyes fluttered open and met mine as he sighed against my chest.

"What is it?" He was breathless, and so was I, but this was important.

"Will, I think you…" I didn't know how to phrase it. I didn't want it to come out desperate or needy. I didn't want him to think I was moving too fast or not taking this seriously. I'd put so much thought into it, and I was agonizing over how to say it to him.

For a second, he looked worried. He pulled his hand back and laced his damp fingers through mine. The worry etched on his face made me feel foolish.

"Is everything okay? I mean, we don't have to do this. We could just talk. I'm sorry if you felt pressured by me."

I touched his face softly and smiled at him. "No, it's nothing like that. I just…I need to say something and I don't want you to take it the wrong way, and I don't want to just blurt it out in the middle of sex because it's really important to me that you understand I've really been thinking of this a lot."

He smirked at me, and I knew he was going to say something dirty to me, and before he even said it I was grinning. His lips parted and he said, "You think my cock is too big and you don't know if you can take it anymore?" The sparkle in his eyes made me laugh and snort, and then I placed both of my hands on his cheeks.

"No, silly. I think I love you…" I kissed him softly and pulled away. "I think you're the one. I think nothing else matters…if people know about us or talk about us. I just want to be with you."
