Rome

I’m pacing the fucking floor, running my hands through my hair, and mumbling to myself, “I’m this close to saying screw it and booking the first flight out of here.”

“Well, I hope you don’t do that since I’m home now,” I hear the woman that my soul needs. I spin around and it’s then that I see she’s at the threshold to my office.

“God, baby. You’re a sight for sore eyes,” I tell her as I rush towards her, scooping her up in my arms. I kick my door shut, her legs wrap around my waist, and then my lips are on hers.

We’re standing in the middle of my office and she’s finally back in my arms, where she belongs.

“I missed you so much, Rome. So, freaking much,” she tells me in between kisses.

“Please tell me you aren’t traveling again for a while. Because if not, I’ll be taking off of work to follow you,” I tell her as she slides down the length of my body. I know she can feel what she does to me.

“Nope, I have nothing booked that requires traveling for the next six months,” I see her body shiver and I bring her in closer to my body. I’m not sure I’ll let her out of my sight for the next week.

“Good, who brought you here? Please don’t tell me you took an uber when I could have picked you up?” I grunt out. Knowing my bullheaded woman, she would too.

“Nope, no uber. Your mom brought me here. It was our little plan we devised together. She dropped me off here and took my luggage to your house. I hope you don’t mind,” she says.

“You’re lucky I didn’t move you into my place while you were away,” I respond.

“I’m shocked myself, especially after you threatened it daily. Are you sure you didn’t already?” she questions in a teasing tone.

“I probably should have. I told Mason and Heath, they talked me out of it. They have a soft spot for you. Already calling you their baby sister or some such shit,” I wave my hand and go to sit in my chair behind my desk.

I beckon Summer to follow me and thank fuck that she’s wearing a skirt. I want inside her with every depth of my being, and I know I won’t make it until we’re back at home.

“Why Mister Carter, are you trying to have an afternoon romp in your office?” she asks with a sassy tone.

“Miss. Jones, if you have to ask then I’m doing something wrong.” I grab her by the waist and sit her on my desk.

“Can you keep quiet?” I ask her, my eyebrow quirking up in a questioning way.

“Maybe, I guess you won’t know unless you try?” God, I love this woman. I glide my hands up along her thighs, moving her skirt as I go along, and imagine my surprise when I find her bare underneath.

“I should spank your ass for being bare in public without me,” I grouse.

“Maybe you should,” her hands travel the length of her bare pussy teasing me with wanting my hands and mouth.

I knock her hands away from what is mine, only mine, and get my first taste of her in weeks.

Summer

“Best surprise ever?” I ask Rome once we’re back at his place. We’re sitting on the back porch, both of us snuggled in close with a blanket draped across our bodies and the fire pit roaring.

Florida’s colder months are definitely starting to show now, “Fuck yeah, it is. As soon as the first week turned into more, I was ready to haul ass up there to you.”

“I’m home now though,” I reply.

“Not technically, but you will be soon enough,” he says under his breath as if I can’t hear him. The shock is going to be on him come Monday. I found a girl who wants to rent my condo and I’m going to move my things over while Rome is at work. Between Tina, Mason, and even my mom. I’ll be moved in, in no time.

I let out a yawn, I’m exhausted from all the work I’ve been doing and traveling. I don’t really want to leave from the cozy spot we’re in, but I am so tired if I don’t go to bed soon, I’ll be asleep, and Rome knows how I sleep like the dead.

“I’m going up to bed, handsome. I’m ready to collapse,” I tell him getting up.

“Know you are baby, let me turn this off and I’ll go on up to bed with you,” he replies.

While he’s doing that, I pick up his empty beer bottle and my half full glass of wine. I didn’t even finish it, that’s how tired I am.

I grab the blanket with my other hand, then Rome is done and he’s opening the sliding glass door, allowing me to step inside first.
