Page 16 of Overstaying His Welcome

I frowned at the news.

“That means there'll be another person here to blockade my ability to get to him.”

Martin shrugged one shoulder.

“Looks like it. All I know is his name is Emmett, and he starts next week. He sounds like a ray of sunshine for Papa Sheppard.”

I faked gagging.

“Ugh, don't call that man Papa. Makes me think of daddy kink, and he is not a daddy.”

Martin laughed loudly, throwing his head back with gusto. A few people turned, staring our away. Since the space was mostly empty, they went about their business after realizing they weren’t getting anything new to discuss.

I smacked Marten on the arm, pulling him back.

“Calm down, you're going to get me busted.”

As soon as I said the word, the door beside us opened. Chance leaned his body on the door jamb. His ankles were crossed, and he folded his arms in a way that always got to me.

"What are you two troublemakers up to?" he asked.

I shook my head and stood to my full height. I strolled to him slowly, careful not to make it look like I was flirting with him but also trying to make it look like I was flirting with him.

It was a delicate balance.

"We were just talking," I said as coyly as I could.

His smile was heart-stopping. I wanted to bag it up and take it with me so I could pull it out whenever I was having a moment that didn't feel as good as this. For any time that I questioned things or came across a problem I couldn't solve, a single smile from Chance Sheppard made everything else disappear.

"We're supposed to be in a meeting. You were already late and now you're distracting my assistant."

Marten raised his hands, waving a white flag so to speak. "I’m just here. Don't throw me in time-out with him."

I turned my back on Marten, smirking at the man across from me. "Yeah, don't put Marten in time-out with me. I'm the only bad boy here."

Chance huffed, but I saw all the way his body shivered slightly at my words. I could also see the bulge forming in his pants.

He was aroused at the idea.

Our role play ventured into so many different directions. There wasn't any favorite type of scene, but I knew that he liked to be in charge from time to time.

Man, I loved it too.

He could put me in time-out anytime he wanted.

“Come into my office, Tank. We have things to discuss.”

I turned around and saluted Marten before stepping inside.

The minute he closed the door, his hand was at my throat, and he was pushing me against the wall.

"I don't like it when you're late," he said as he trailed kisses down the side of my throat. “It's hard enough to get time with you."

I leaned to the side, giving him full access to my body the way I knew he needed.

I sighed and admitted, "Traffic was a bitch and there have been problems. I'm sorry, baby."
