He groaned, taking a step back. "What are you wearing?"
I whirled around, glancing down at myself. Yeah, with my robe open, he could totally see my garters.
I laughed, licking my lips. "Funny story. My plan last night was to come into your office wearing these and seduce you. I felt like we could break a few rules. Actually, my original plan was to seduce you in your lab."
His eyes flashed, and his pupils dilated. "Go on."
"This morning, I put them on because the plan was still to seduce you. I had to improvise when my brothers came, and I covered myself up with the robe."
He groaned again, stepping closer. "So, this is all for me, yes?"
I nodded.
"Say it," he commanded.
"It's all for you, Colton," I whispered.
***
Colton
She looked like a goddesswith the necklace, the short dress, and the garters.
"You're the most beautiful woman in the world," I told her.
She opened her mouth, and I stepped closer, tilting her head back slightly. I covered her lips with mine, kissing her slowly, savoring her, losing myself in the way I'd needed to last night. The work in the lab had been completely unsatisfactory. For the first time since I could remember, work hadn't provided the relief I sought. This was what I needed.
She tasted like sugar and apricot jam. I took off her robe completely and drew my fingers from the back of her hands up to her elbows and then farther up to her shoulders. I desperately searched for the dress's zipper. It wasn't at her back.
Finding it on the side, I yanked it down, pushing the dress to the floor. Then I groaned. She was wearing a bra without straps. It was black, just like her panties, which were connected to her tights. Then I realized her panties were completely transparent.
"Fuck, Zoey. You wore this at the office?"
She swallowed hard. "Yeah. As I said, the plan was to seduce you in the lab. I thought I'd make an extra effort, hence why I also went and bought garters."
"I needed you last night," I confessed.
She widened her darkened eyes and ran her hand through her hair. It was exquisite, reaching down her back, and wild. It was about to get wilder still.
"Why?" she asked.
"I met with my brothers and half brothers because they wanted to discuss our father. Maddox is trying to get in touch with him.”
"What did you decide?"
"Nothing yet. Our goal is to keep him from reaching out to our grandparents. Anyway, after they left, I texted you.”
She pouted. "I fell asleep."
I ran my thumbs over her clavicle and then farther down her chest until I reached her bra.
"I went to the lab. It usually helps me forget, calms me down."
"But not last night?"
"I didn't need work. I needed you."
She gasped, putting both hands on my face. "Colton, I'm always here for you. I'm just putting it out there, but if something like that happens again, feel free to burst through my door and wake me up. I promise I won't mind."
