Page 68 of Taking Chances

Me:

And when do you plan to do that?

I probably sound desperate, but it’s not like I’m far from it. After having him in my mouth, my core has been aching to get him inside of me.

Who am I? Since when do I think like this?

Lennox:

Fuck, Firecracker. Don’t make me get hard while in Home Depot.

Heat rushes to my cheeks as my chest fills with pride.I make him hard?I type out a response quickly enough not to convince myself not to do it.

Me:

Better schedule my next lesson then.

Lennox:

How about this weekend?

A smile overtakes my face. This week I’ll be working overtime, introducing our volunteers to the new space, but now I have something to look forward to.

A knock snaps me out of my thoughts.

“Meeting’s starting,” Rina chirps.

“Y-yeah. Coming.” I take a deep breath and head to our new conference room.

The room is gorgeous. Encased in windows and light wood accents, it’s airy and open. Comfortable armchairs are mismatched in pastel colors giving the room a cozy feel. I pull myself a pink one since it’s my favorite color.

“Good morning, everyone.” Natalie stands up at the front of the huge desk, commanding the room like she typically does. “Yes, I’m the new boss. No, I had no idea Kiara would do that on Friday. Yes, some of us did know.” She shoots Matt a playful glare. “And no, we won’t be taking it easy. We are diving in right away. Any extra questions?” She doesn’t give us a second to respond before continuing, “No? Great.” Laughter bubbles out across the room.

To an outsider, her speech would make her sound unapproachable, but she’s the furthest thing from it. Which every person at this desk is very much aware of.

The rest of the meeting is casual and relaxed. She’s an amazing leader, delegating tasks painlessly. The only person having a hard time following is Matt, who’s busy staring at her lovingly. Pride oozes from his gaze, seeing his girl doing what she does best—leading.

“Mr. Anderson, could you please focus?” she scolds him after he asks for a repeat of what she said.

“I’ll try to, Mrs. Anderson.” He smirks, showing no remorse for his lack of concentration.

They’re one of those couples that has a hard time keeping their hands off each other. I’ll have to warn them to stay away from the conference room. Matter of fact, the whole office.

I never looked at our old conference room the same after knowing what they did in it. The train of thoughts leads me to the texts I exchanged with Lennox. And everything that happened on Friday.

He made me take control of my own pleasure which was beyond hot. But what I really, truly want—and what I never admitted to myself before—is for him to take over, to dominate me.

My ears start to burn, and I realize I completely phased out. Luckily, it seems like Natalie is dealing with other things, so she hasn’t noticed. In a few minutes we’re dismissed, and I’m glad I have an office now so I can get my bearings.

I haven’t responded to his previous text, so I take a deep breath and unlock my phone.

Me:

How about Friday?

I bite the inside of my cheek to stop myself from giggling. It’s weird to do this—flirt openly, but I think it’s good weird.

Lennox:
