I nodded enthusiastically. The next thing I knew, I was packing boxes with Jerry and helping Anna with a few social media tasks.

Before I knew it, five o’clock had rolled around and I was exhausted.

“You can tell you guys are newlyweds,” Anna said with a laugh.

“Oh really? How’s that?”

“He doesn’t stop looking at you. I caught him a few times staring at you and he always looks the other way and pretends to be doing something else. It’s really cute.”

I blushed, unsure what to say. I’d thought it was my imagination, but I could feel his eyes on me most of the day. And a few times when I thought he wasn’t looking, I’d found myself staring at him. I felt like I’d seen a whole new side to him. I saw how much he cared about the cause and the people he helped. I admired him. He hadn’t just withdrawn when his mother was dying, he’d done something to help others. I found myself proud of him and feeling so much respect for the man he was.

I waited for him in his office while he said goodbye to his staff.

He came back in and exhaustedly collapsed into his chair.

I leaned my elbow against the desk and put my chin in my hand. “Tired?”

“I’m beat,” he said rubbing his forehead.

“Got a headache?”

He shook his head. “I think I have the beginnings of one, though. It was just a busier day than usual for a slow day—”

My eyebrows shot up. “A slow day? This is the busiest company I’ve ever worked at.”

“So did you enjoy your time here?”

“It was great. Anna, Jerry, even no-nonsense Aidan is growing on me.”

“They’re a great group and they seemed to really like you.”

“You’re being nice.”

“I’m not. I enjoy being around you, most people do.”

I narrowed my eyes and said playfully, “You just want me around for free labor.” I was admittedly trying to lighten the mood with humor. I hadn’t expected the compliment. It had made feel special. No emotions, Lacey. Remember your rules.

“I want you around for a lot more than that,” he said quietly and his tone wasn’t playful anymore.

“Well there are like a billion dollars at stake, so yeah there’s that too.”

He ignored my comment and said softly, “Come here, Lacey.”

“No, I think I’ll stay on this side of the desk.”

“Okay then.” He stood up and came over to me.

He stood in front of me and crooked his finger. I shook my head. I felt if I stayed seated I could control myself.

Apparently, Jude had other plans.

In one smooth motion, he picked me up and placed me on the edge of the desk. He started kissing my neck and I moaned when his lips finally met mine. He slid his hands between my legs, raising my dress up so that the skirt was around my hips. He parted my thighs, spreading them wide, and stood between them, alternating between rubbing my heated sex and kissing my face, my eyes, my cheeks.

He pushed me back onto the desk and freed my breasts from the constraints of my dress and bra.

His warm mouth pulled at my nipples and I grabbed his face, trying to keep him there.

“Oh god, Jude,” I groaned as he roughly sucked my nipple, alternating between one breast and the other.
