Page 18 of My Wildest Obsession

We head out and Levi and Adrien say bye to Clara, offering to bring her something back, but she’s already ordered something.

“See you later,” Adrien says and she waves, giving them a sweet smile.

Her eyes meet mine and the smile drops. I nod and she nods back.

“What’s going on with you today?” Levi asks as we take a seat at a deli down the block.

“Nothing. I’m just busy.”

They roll their eyes, used to my workaholic tendencies and packed schedule. They don’t know that really, I’m obsessing over what just happened with Clara.

What am I supposed to do now? I don’t think that I can just pretend that nothing happened between us. I mean, she admitted that she was up all night fantasizing about me. She came for me.

I need her.

I can’t lock this attraction to her away any longer. I broke something open when I kissed her last night and she just kicked the door down in my office. Now there’s no choice but to finish what we started.

I force myself to focus on Levi and Adrien as we eat. It’s hard, but I manage.

“Your aunt called. Are you going to the charity event?” Levi asks, and I nod.

“I think so. I need to call her back,” I admit.

“Well, we’ll be there. Goldie is excited to get all dressed up,” Adrien says.

Levi nods, smiling softly. “Pia is excited too. Should be a fun night.”

“Yeah, should be,” I say, but I’m not sure that I’ll be attending.

Adrien pays the bill and we all head back to the office. Adrien gets off on his floor, then Levi. I’m all alone with my thoughts as I ride up to the top floor.

My staff is busy as I stalk back to my office. Clara is sitting at her desk, typing on her keyboard as I approach. I head past her without a word and settle behind my desk.

I spend the next few hours trying to focus on work, but I can’t. All I can think about, all I can smell is Clara. By the time that five o’clock rolls around, I’m frustrated and pissed off. No one messes with my work. No one but Clara it seems.

I jerk out of my chair and stomp towards my office door. Clara is gathering her things at her desk and she doesn’t spare me a glance as I walk up to her.

I grab her bag and toss it back onto her desk, taking her hand in mine, and drag her into my office, kicking the door shut behind us.

She grunts as I push her up against the office door and I crowd against her. She doesn’t look surprised to be in here. It’s like she was expecting it.

There’s a clever twinkle in her eye, one that I love and seeing it only turns me on even more. I love Clara’s mind and her sharp tongue. I love how she pushes and challenges me.

“Listen, this is how things are going to go,” I tell her, trying to take control of the situation.

She glares up at me and I can see the snarky response forming on her tongue already. I hurry on before she can take the lead.

“We’re going to fuck. Once, just once. We’ll get each other out of our systems and then we can pretend like nothing happened.”

She studies me for a moment and I’m afraid that she’s going to say no. Maybe she can see through me and knows that I won’t really be over her if we have sex once. In fact, she’s probably going to become even more of an obsession for me.

“Deal,” she says, and I almost sag in relief.

Instead, I kiss her.

Just like last night, as soon as my lips land on hers, everything else falls away. All I can think about, all I can taste and feel is Clara. She’s so soft, so responsive. I love it.

She moans against my lips and my grip tightens on her hips. Her fingers are tangling in my hair, pulling me towards her. Just like everything we do, there’s this natural push and pull.
