I want to fuck her in every imaginable position for the next hour, but that’ll have to be our second round. My climax is approaching like an out-of-control freight train.
It hits me hard, the orgasm barreling through my entire body. I immediately feel a sense of fullness, like everything is what it’s supposed to be in this moment.
“Your knee seems better,” Mara says lightly.
“Maybe this is the right rehab for it. I could ask the team to put us up here for the next few weeks.”
She laughs. “Let me know how that goes.”
I kiss her jawline, her nose and her lips. “Ready for that room service?”
“You read my mind.”

“Okay, people, last call for files,” Missy says. “I’m going to file the old and pull the new one time today, and one time only. Speak now or forever hold your peace.”
I can’t help it, I laugh. Missy and Jayden both give me confused looks.
“Sorry, I’m just—” I laugh again, then clear my throat. “It’s not appropriate workplace humor. I was just thinking if you spelled it p-i-e-c-e, that phrase would take on a whole new meaning.”
Jayden exchanges a look with Missy. I think I know them well enough that they won’t tell me to stop with the inappropriate jokes, but I’m not positive. I’m still a little punch drunk from my weekend with Leo.
“That’s about a six out of ten,” Jayden says. “It’s not bad, but usually you’re sharper. Are you extra tired today?”
“No.”
Yes. Leo helped me pack some things Saturday evening after I got home and I stayed with him the past two nights. We do sleep, just not a lot. I thought we’d spend the entire weekend in bed, and we did get in a lot of sex, but we also did things that surprised me.
We watched movies on his couch, Birdie switching back and forth between his lap and mine. We made breakfast together on Sunday, and then we went Christmas shopping together.
I usually don’t wait so long to do my holiday shopping, but I’ve been busy with work and kept putting it off. Leo and I had the best time picking out gifts for our parents, our friends, and Carter and Suki’s girls. He was patient, carrying bags and pretending to be interested in cosmetics.
“Missy, I’ll do the the files,” I say, standing up.
She laughs lightly, shaking her head. “Whoever this guy is, he gets my vote. You’d scrub the floors with a smile right now, wouldn’t you?”
Probably not, because I’m sore from last night’s sexcapades, but I ignore her question.
“This has nothing to do with Leo, I’m just trying to help.”
“Ooh, Leo.” She waggles her brows. “I don’t think you’ve ever told us the name of anyone you were dating.”
“Is that short for Leonard?” Jayden asks. “Did you pick him up at an old folks’ home?”
I roll my eyes. “No, it’s just Leo. That’s his full name.” I walk over to the file cart. “That’s the list of files to pull?”
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Absolutely. You’re swamped and I’m caught up.”
She still doesn’t look convinced, so I just take the cart. It’s midafternoon, and I could use a break from the walls of my office to wake me up a bit.
“I’ll make a drink run, too,” I say. “Just us three, not the whole office. Text me your orders.”
