Page 8 of You Make Me Feel

“I don’t know yet. If we aren’t compatible sexually, I won’t want anything more—no need to set us up for failure before we even get started. However, if we vibe, then, of course, I would like to explore more with you. How do you feel about that?”

“Sounds good to me, but I can guarantee that sex will be off the charts.”

“Mm. You’ve had that much practice, huh?”

He laughed and said, “Man, you wild. But I’m thirty and single. I’m sure you have had a lot of practice too with as open as you were just now.”

I giggled. “Probably not as much as you, but I’m no amateur.”

“So I’ve gathered. I can come through tonight if you want.”

Did I want him to come through now? I’d already told him in so many words what this was all I was about. After a brief pause, I reasoned with myself. If tonight were trash, there would be no need for dinner this weekend. “I suppose you can since I’m already naked.”

He chuckled. “Send me your address, and after I shower, I’ll make my way to you.”

“Okay. Sending it now. I’m assuming you won’t have a problem being discreet.”

“My father is the assistant pastor. What you think?” He chuckled. “See you in an hour.”

“Okay.”

I ended the call, hoping I wasn’t making a mistake by letting him come over so soon. If I was, I expected I’d find out soon enough.

Chapter 4

Oliver

When I got to Houston, I went straight to the office. I was running a little behind schedule because I overslept. I wanted to be back on the road to Beaumont before the lunch rush, and it was already nine. People usually started really moving around by ten thirty or eleven. Checking in on the technicians was a common occurrence, but I had a new hire I wanted to see about. He was fresh out of school and practically begged me for a job.

I felt sorry for him because I knew what it was like trying to find a job and being rejected by employers because I had “no experience.” It was like,How the hell am I supposed to get experience if no one will hire me because of my lack of it?I was grateful that I was able to start my own company. However, some people weren’t as blessed as I was. So, when he applied, I kept that in mind.

He trained with me for a week, then another technician for two or three weeks. This was his second week on his own. I needed to know if he was getting the hang of things or needed more training. The worst thing a company could do was have a poorly trained employee interacting with clients. It could cause severe problems. It wasn’t that he would be poorly trained, though, but everyone’s attention and retention spans were different. He may have heard every word said to him and saw every action performed, but it didn’t mean he could retain everything.

Mya walked through the door as I looked over reviews and tickets for the past week. “Good morning, Mr. Andrews. I brought donuts if you’d like some.”

“Good morning. You must have known that I hadn’t eaten breakfast. I could use a pick-me-up,” I said, then took a sip of the coffee I’d made when I first arrived.

She smiled, and her cheeks reddened slightly. While she was trying to be discreet, I knew she had a thing for me. I didn’t believe in mixing business with pleasure. Plus, I didn’t feel a connection between us at all. She’d been working here for the past year. She was the first female tech I hired and was doing a great job. However, personally, we had nothing in common besides computers. She was smart as hell and a couple of years older than me.

Mya was also beautiful, but something didn’t allow us to connect, and I believed it had everything to do with Kinisha Jordan. That woman consumed my thoughts, even the subconscious ones. She was obviously there too, if I constantly dreamed about her. On my busy days, I didn’t think she was on my mind because I was laser-focused on other things, but then I would dream of bouncing her on my dick or just being intimate with her.

I had it bad, and she didn’t have a clue. Hopefully, I would get up some nerve soon because that shit was draining me. It was probably why I overslept. I dreamed of her last night. It was nothing sexual, but she’d started dating someone. I didn’t know if the Lord was shooting me a warning or if he was giving me insight into what had already happened.

I could almost tell she was a sexual being by the way she walked and the clothes she wore. I once saw her in the grocery store, and her short shorts had my dick’s attention. The way her ass jiggled when she walked had me on pause, every part of me, including my breathing.

She hadn’t seen me that day, and I was glad she hadn’t. She would have seen how she stole my breath away. It was rare that she even looked at me. It seemed like she was looking through me until last Sunday when she fell in my arms. Seeing her notice me in that instance had my body temperature rising. For some reason, with her, my cockiness took a backseat. She was so beautiful her ass made me nervous.

I licked my lips when I got to the front of the office and saw the plethora of donuts Mya had brought. There was an excellent variety to choose from, and I went straight to the glazed and old-fashioned ones. When I took four donuts, Mya chuckled. A smirk made its way to my lips as I turned to her. She bit her bottom lip to restrain her laugh, then asked, “You hungry?”

I chuckled, then took a huge bite of the glazed donut. “Mm-hmm.” Once I swallowed, I said, “Thanks.”

She winked at me, then smiled. I turned to head back to the office without responding to that. The minute I sat, the office phone began ringing. Since Mya was just getting settled, I answered. “Andrews Technologies. This is Oliver. How may I help you?”

“Hello, Oliver. My name is Devin Taylor. I own Taylor, Wesin, and Sylvester Accounting Firm in Beaumont. We could use an IT company on board. While I’m decent at doing these things myself, I no longer feel like doing it. My brother said I needed to quit being cheap and hire someone to do it for me.”

He chuckled, as did I. “Okay, Mr. Taylor. When will you be available for a consult for me to look at your system and set up?”

“I’m available today and tomorrow this week, and then I’m free all next week.”
