Adam’s apple bobbed as he stared back at me, our hands still joined on his lap, the intensity of the moment making his skin on mine smoldering hot.
“Y-you do, d-do you?” he said under his breath.
Did he like the way I said that, or was it just me? And was there movement in his pants, or was I imagining it?
It was impossible to stop staring at his face, so I couldn’t quite check. I could, however, let him in on my little secret.
No, I couldn’t do that. That was wildly inappropriate. And so unprofessional. And irrelevant. It wasn’t like Adam and I were ever going to be an item, so he didn’t need to know details about my sex life.
Yet the way his hand tightened under my touch… I couldn’t resist. I leaned slightly closer and whispered in his ear.
“I lovetakingthose I want,” I said.
Adam swallowed again, his lips parting an inch as he drew in a deep breath, and I slid our hands up his thigh gently, slowly, so I could verify.
“What about you?” I whispered. “Do you like beingtaken?”
He froze, looked at my lips, and swallowed. When he nodded, it was barely noticeable.
“I like taking control, too.”
I was still whispering in his ear, and boy, was it hot being so close to him.
Why was I doing this to myself? What the hell was wrong with me?
“Do you like being controlled?” I asked.
Why couldn’t I stop this madness?
This time, it was his chest that inflated and deflated painfully slow as if he were trying to stay as still as possible.
“I do,” he mumbled, and the need in his voice made me lose all control.
I let go of his hand and grabbed between his legs. He was hard as a rock, and he whimpered at my touch.
“Then kiss me,” I ordered him.
To hell with my rules and logic. He was literally my perfect match. And yeah, okay, he still didn’t know the complete truth about myself, but so far, he was ticking every box.
He didn’t hesitate one moment. He followed my command and put his lips on mine, and my entire body jerked. He pushed me back slightly and I reciprocated, each press of our lips electrifying my very being.
And then I was vibrating. Why was I vibrating?
There was a loud thump, and we both pulled back. The separation brought me back to my senses, and I looked down at my phone. It had dropped from my pocket, and it was buzzing while spinning around itself slowly.
“Shit,” I said and reached for it, removing my hand from Adam’s crotch.
“Hey, everything okay there?” read the message from Luke.
Adam sat back and took a deep breath. The noise outside soothed. Relief coursed through me.
I didn’t know what spirit possessed me, but whatever just happened was so wrong, I couldn’t even begin to comprehend. I’d defied my one rule, and I’d completely crossed the line with my boss.
How the hell was I supposed to go back to working with him every day after what I’d just done?
“We can go home now,” I said after checking the tornado report online.
I got up to my feet. I had to get as far away from him as possible right now. Before I lost my senses again.
