Applause breaks out as she finishes. Madison flashes her magnetic smile and gives a little wave. I'm bursting with pride and love. She absolutely nailed it.

As the clapping dies down and conversations resume, I pull Madison into my arms, not caring who sees. "You were amazing," I murmur, breathing in her intoxicating scent. "Have I told you how ravishing you look tonight?"

She laughs and swats my chest. "Only about five times. But I'll never get tired of hearing it." Her fingers toy with the collar of my flannel shirt as she gazes up at me from under her lashes, her meaning clear.

My body instantly responds. I need to get her alone, now, guests be damned. "What do you say we sneak out of here and have our own private celebration?" I say in a low voice.

Madison bites her plump bottom lip, eyes dancing with mischief and unmistakable heat. "I thought you'd never ask."

I glance around furtively before taking her hand and leading her toward the back of the lobby. We slip out a side door, giggling like a couple of lovestruck teenagers playing hooky.

My heart pounds in anticipation as I try the handle of Madison’s office. It yields, and we tumble inside, laughing and shushing each other. I fumble for the light switch and shut the door, turning the lock with a decisive click.

When I turn back to Madison, the charged air between us crackles. She's leaning against the desk, a coy smile playing on her lips. "Alone at last," she purrs.

I'm drawn to her like a magnet, closing the space between us in two long strides. Cupping her face in my hands, I claim her mouth in a searing kiss, pouring all my love and desire into it. Madison matches my passion, her arms winding around my neck to pull me closer.

"I've been dying to do this all night," I rasp against her lips. My hands skim down her sides to grip her hips. "You've got me all riled up in that dress."

"Mmm, I can tell," she hums, boldly pressing against the growing evidence of my arousal. "Why don't you show me just how much you appreciate it?"

I lift Madison onto the desk in one swift motion, her legs instinctively wrapping around my waist. Our lips never break contact as we fumble with each other's clothes, desperate to feel skin on skin. Her hands slide under my shirt, nails raking over my back, sending electric shocks of pleasure coursing through me.

I groan into her mouth, my hands exploring the curves of her body. I hike up her dress, reveling in the feel of her smooth thighs. She gasps when my fingers find the edge of her lace panties, teasing the sensitive skin there.

"Archer," she breathes, her head falling back as I trail kisses down her neck. I can feel her heart pounding against my chest, matching the frantic rhythm of my own.

My fingers hook into the flimsy fabric of her panties, pulling them aside. I slide a finger inside her, finding her wet and ready for me. She bucks against my hand, stifling a moan with a hand over her mouth.

"I need you, now," she whispers, her eyes dark with desire. I quickly unbuckle my belt, pushing my pants and boxers downjust enough to free my aching erection. I guide myself to her entrance, our eyes locked.

With a slow, agonizing push, I enter her. She's so tight, so hot. I have to grit my teeth to keep from losing control right then and there. I start to move; each thrust driving me deeper inside her. Her hands grip my shoulders, her nails digging into my skin as she tries to muffle her cries of pleasure.

The desk creaks under our combined weight, a testament to our frantic pace. I can feel the tension building in my lower back, my balls tightening. I know I'm close, but I want her to get there first.

I reach between us, my thumb finding her clit. I rub slow circles, matching the rhythm of my thrusts. Her breathing hitches, her body tensing. I can feel her walls clenching around me, milking me.

"Come for me, Maddie," I whisper, my voice rough with need.

That's all it takes. With a strangled cry, she comes undone, her body shaking with the force of her orgasm.

Her release triggers my own. I bury my face in her neck, biting down gently to muffle my groan as I spill inside her. We stay like that for a moment, our bodies slick with sweat, our hearts pounding in sync.

As our breathing slows, I gently pull out of her, helping her off the desk. We straighten our clothes in silence, stealing glances at each other. The air is thick with the aftermath of our passion.

I tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear, my thumb brushing over her flushed cheek. "You're incredible," I murmur, kissing her lips softly.

She smiles against my mouth, her eyes shining with happiness. "So are you."

I take Madison's hand, lacing our fingers together. "We should probably get back out there before someone comes looking for us."

She sighs, leaning into me. "I suppose you're right. But I wish we could stay here forever, just the two of us."

I brush a kiss over her forehead. "Me too, darlin'. But we've got the rest of our lives for that."

Madison looks up at me, her eyes shining with emotion. "Archer, I..." She takes a deep breath. "I love you. I know it might seem sudden, but I've never been more sure of anything in my life."

My heart swells in my chest, feeling like it might burst. I've been holding back those three little words, not wanting to scare her off, but hearing her say them first... it's everything.
