I watched as she drew in a deep breath, and then she released it.
“If we fuck... I don’t think I’ll be able to quit. You’ll have to fire me. That wasn’t our agreement. You promised that I could quit if we became intimate. I didn’t want to renege on my word.”
It took a little while to properly process her words, and when I did, I understood. She wasn’t rejecting me; she just, like me, was very well aware that afterward, we might not want to part.
“Yesterday... I loved it. It’s difficult right now, in all honesty, for me to be resigning, but I know that was the only reason you even allowed us to be intimate, so I can’t renege on that. I just... I just think it’s best to move on now before things get too hard.”
“You really do have a bad habit of not sticking around long,” I said. However, to my surprise, she frowned. She wasn’t timid and cowering like usual; instead, she was severely annoyed.
“May I ask then that I don’t leave the company?” she asked.
“What do you mean?” I frowned.
“I don’t have to turn in my resignation since, as you said, we didn’t fuck. If this is the case, then I should be able to keep working for you. If it's too distracting, then you can transfer me like you'd initially said.”
“And if we fuck?” I asked.
“Then you can do whatever you want with me.”
I rose to my feet then, unable to remain seated, and I started to head toward her. That steel I had seen in her seemed to alter, with her even checking backward to perhaps see how close enough she was to the door. Whether she wanted to run away or whether she was just looking for something to hold on to and help with her balance, I truly couldn’t tell.
Soon, I arrived where she was and stood only a few steps away. Before I could speak, however, she did, although her voice was now more noticeably shaky, and she most definitely could no longer meet my eyes.
“If you transfer me, we could... if it won’t be too distracting, we could still be intimate. I just want you to know that I’m open to it all.”
I watched her.
“I would have thought that given your past experience, you’d be averse to sexual arrangements in the office.”
“I’m not averse to sexual arrangements,” she said. “What I'm averse to are unwanted sexual propositions.”
“So...” I said, unable to ignore the warmth that filled my heart at her words. It was too much of a reaction; I didn’t want to feel it, but as I was beginning to relax with her, I couldn’t quite dictate what I could and could not feel.
“You want me?” I asked.
She lifted her gaze then and met my eyes.
“Yes. I do.”
Chapter Thirty-Three
Hannah
Things were absolutely not turning out as I had hoped. However, as I looked at how his expression had changed and how desire had completely overtaken him, I had to admit that I loved this. It was becoming quite easy to read him, I realized.
He closed the distance between us, and my knees went weak. I was freaking out, but I didn’t cower. It had felt like I would, but when staring at the man that he was, I knew that if I missed the chance with him to be connected to him in whatever capacity, I would think about it for the rest of my life and wonder. I wanted him, and no matter what happened, I was going to say it for once.
His hand lifted then, and he held my chin, his thumb pressing against the middle of my plump lower lip. I had to look into his eyes then as he did mine, and then he smiled.
My heart stopped in my chest.
“Lock the door,” he said, then began to take off his jacket. He flung it aside, and it landed on his sofa in the corner. I couldn't believe this was happening.
“H-here?” I managed to ask, but he was already heading back to his desk. He leaned against it and watched me, and despite the fact that I was almost convinced that I had forgotten how to walk, I managed to turn around and wobble my way to the door. After turning the knob, I wondered if it would be best for me to head out, my thought being that with his main office door locked it could bring more attention than was needed. I simply tried to catch my breath, locked the door and then I turned around.
I watched him and took in the gorgeous view of the city behind. From this position and in this moment, he looked like he owned the entire world, and it made me so wet I wanted to faint. This was power, this was competence, this was his charm. Fucking handsome, intelligent, cute – the whole package, and it was growing on me. I wanted to fuck him until I lost my mind, and so, straightening my back, I summoned all the confidence that I needed and headed over to him.
I wanted to unbutton my jacket. However, watching him, I couldn’t think of much beyond how nervous I was. A colony of butterflies seemed to have gathered in my stomach, and I couldn't believe what he wanted us to do right here in the middle of the day and in his office.
