“I had to come back,” she said, shutting my office door and locking it. “I had to come back to see you.”
It didn't matter how or why she was here. Just that she was.
We moved for each other at the same time. My hands threaded through her hair and I drew her pink, plump lips to mine. I groaned as my tongue moved with hers, finally finding out whatthat addictive scent tasted like. She tasted exactly like she smelled—like honey and vanilla.
Without breaking our kiss, I swept everything off my desk, papers flew, my laptop crashed to the floor with a thud, but I didn't care. Grasping her hips, I lifted her on top of my desk, and her legs wrapped tightly around my waist.
I trailed my hands down her beautiful body. Her skin even softer than silk. We undressed quickly, our clothes littering the floor around us. Once we were naked, I pressed my mouth against her smooth neck, her breasts, her stomach...
“Asher,” Ivy moaned when I hovered over her wet center. “Asher, please!”
My dick was rock hard as I gazed at her pretty pussy.
“Please make me feel good with your fingers,” she begged. “Lick me and then make love to me with your hard cock.”
Right before I lowered my mouth to her wet center, I glanced up at her. Her fierce beauty stunned me. The sight of her wild, long auburn hair, her intense blue eyes staring down at me, and her seductive mouth almost knocked me over.
“Asher…please,” she whined and urged my head toward her pussy.
I smirked at her urgency and flicked my tongue over her greedy clit and pumped one finger into her wet—
A real knock interrupted the direction my mind had gone. Somehow, my thoughts about Ivy had turned into a dirty daydream. These fantasies plagued me day and night. They were so vivid, so real. It was almost like they were memories.
“Mr. Callahan, your meeting starts in five minutes,” my assistant said.
“Thank you, Carol.”
You’re at work, Callahan. Get your mind out of the gutter.
I buttoned my black suit jacket and tried to refocus my mind as I picked up my laptop. Today was an important meeting. Not only could this potential account with the Alpha king be huge for my company, but my father had previously collaborated with Blackwood Inc. His son—Damian Blackwood—was now the CEO and I hoped to resumeworking with their company. It was what my father would have wanted.
I walked to our conference room in the center of our busy office. The walls were made of glass and I usually left the door open—unless I was discussing a client's sensitive information. I worked hard to create an open and unified atmosphere for all of my employees. I wanted everyone who worked with me—from the Board of Directors to every assistant—to feel like they could come to me if they had a problem.
My team was already seated and I greeted them warmly.
“Do we know if Damian is bringing anyone else with him to the meeting?” I asked my vice president, Cooper.
He looked down to consult his notes. “Yes,” Cooper answered and straightened his red tie that had gone slightly crooked. “His vice president, Ivinia, is coming with him. Anya said that the Alpha king wanted them both here for the project.”
My mouth went dry and I almost dropped my laptop.
“Ivinia?” I whispered. A flash of a white dress and red blood running down the palm of my hand crossed my mind.
“Yes,” Cooper confirmed, still looking down at his notes, not noticing my sudden shift in mood.
One of my hands clenched into a tight fist and my heart slammed against my chest.
Goddess, you need to get a grip.
How could a simple name affect me? It wasn't even hers, just a similar name. Would this longing for Ivy ever stop?
“I think that's them now,” a member of the board said and nodded in the direction of the elevators.
My heart skipped a beat and my hands trembled.
Whoa.
That was strange. Usually, I wasn't nervous for a meeting. I'd been sitting in on meetings since I could walk. Maybe my body was reacting that way because this particular meeting was very important. I knew that our company would have a better chance at winning the Alpha King's account if we worked with Blackwood Inc. The Alpha king was the one who had suggestedour pairing.
