Page 92 of Chasing the Dream

She jerked her head up and locked eyes with him. He’d worn a blue shirt like she’d suggested, and it brought out the brilliant blue color of his eyes. “What are you thinking?” she asked, though she had a pretty good idea.

“I happen to know the boss, and although he can be a dork sometimes, he’s also a pretty decent guy.”

“I agree,” She beamed up at him.

“I don’t think he’d mind if we…reconnected before we went to work.”

“Reconnected, huh? I like the sound of that.”

“Lead the way.”

She glanced at the front door to make sure he’d locked it, and then she took his hand and led him down the hall to her bedroom.

Once they were inside, he looked around the room, his eyes alighting on the sweatshirt he’d given her. She’d been sleeping with it, but she was too embarrassed to tell him that.

“You said to wear blue,” he teased.

“I’m glad you listened.”

She tucked her fingers into the sides of his pants and underwear and started to ease them down. When his erection sprang free, she licked her lips and dropped to her knees.

“Morgan?”

“I like seeing you like this and knowing it’s because of me.”

“It is.”

He stepped out of his pants, and she pushed them aside and looked up at him.
