“Hey.” Ember stepped toward him. “What are you doing here?”
“Had a meeting in town. Thought I’d stop by.” He knew he couldn’t hide the heat in his eyes.
He knew it in the way she sucked in a breath and addressed the so-called Raven in a breathy tone. “Honey, why don’t you finish up early?”
“You sure?”
“Yeah, I’m sure.”
“Sweet!” Raven hopped off the stool and grabbed a huge black purse. “For once, I can grocery shop without two teens chirping in my ear and adding fifty dollars’ worth of crap we don’t need, and can’t afford, to my cart.”
Ember gave her a strained smile. “Have fun.”
“Sure, sure.” Raven wiggled her fingers at Foster as she passed, but he could barely keep his eyes off Ember.
In fact, his attention was glued to her as her chest rose and fell with quick breaths while she followed in Raven’s wake. Bemused, Foster turned to watch her sashay across the store and turn the lock on the door. She flipped the sign to Closed and then sashayed back.
“Come with me,” she murmured as she passed him. Anticipation hung heavy in his groin.
Practically chasing after her like a panting teen, he followed her down two steps to the narrow corridor that led to the stockroom, the restroom, and her office. Ember’s skirt disappeared into her office with her, and a haze of lust came over his mind.
As soon as he stepped into the room, he rushed her, pressing her against her desk, molding his body to hers. Foster’s heart slammed against his ribs as their eyes locked, her soft body crushed to his, the fire between them blazing.
Her lips trembled, and the wild need took over.
Foster covered her mouth, swallowing her gasp of excitement. Her perfume, the heat of her beneath his hands, and the taste of her—that taste he’d gotten last night in the pool was an addictive elixir—it all overwhelmed Foster as he gripped the back of Ember’s neck with one hand and slid the other down her stomach … He smoothed it over her round hip and under her thigh.
She kissed him back harder, her arms circling his waist as she fell against the desk but clung to him, her fingers digging into his back as he tugged her thigh up so he could press deep between her legs. Her lips parted on a whimper of desire, and the sound aroused him beyond bearing.
His hand tightened around her nape and he groaned, desperate for more, for everything from her. They devoured each other like it was the last time they’d ever kiss. Foster lifted Ember’s thigh and nudged her onto the desk, grinding his erection against her.
The feel of her hands sliding up his back and over his shoulders, her fingers sinking into his hair, only made him want more. He wanted her hands on his bare skin.
“Take off the dress.” He broke the kiss to demand gruffly. Even as he uttered the words, he was shrugging out of his jacket.
Ember’s eyes were smoky with passion as Foster stepped back to allow her room to undress. She gathered the full skirt in her hands, and he absently undid his tie as her long legs were revealed.
Then her soft stomach and her breasts as she lifted the dress over her head and dropped the fabric on the floor.
He swallowed hard, eyeing every magnificent detail of her. “Bra and panties too.” He whipped off his shirt and started on his belt.
Watching her lick her lips as she stared at him was his undoing.
“Come on, gorgeous.” He pushed down his suit pants and kicked them off. “I want to see every inch of you. I’ve wanted to see every inch of you since I saw you in that pink number at your sister’s engagement party.”
She flushed with pleasure at his confession and reached around to unclip her bra. Slowly, she let the straps fall, the cups catching on her taut nipples.
Finally, it released.
It had been dark last night in the pool.
In the warm light of her office, Foster could see Ember in all her glory.
“Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me,” he muttered, almost stumbling out of his boxer briefs with excitement.
Her throaty laughter only made him harder, and his mouth went dry as she curled her fingers into her panties and pushed them down.
“Sit on the desk and spread your legs.”
