“Sir, I thought you always wanted your assistants to stay until the office closed, in case calls come in that are urgent.”
She’s not wrong. She told me that earlier and I honestly have no issue staying later, but I know Luke’s ulterior motive and I can’t say I’m upset to leave earlier and get my ass over to his place.
“That is true,” Luke begins. “But it’s also her first day and I don’t want to scare her away.” He winks at me in a friendly way as that smile crosses his lips once more. “I do want her to come back tomorrow, Maggie.”
“Of course, sir.” She bows her head and I wonder how much power he has over everyone in this office.
I’ve been in jobs where the boss is an asshole and everyone is scared of them, but this seems different. Almost as if they aren’t scared but respect him on a level I’ve never seen before. It's quite impressive.
“I’ll see you both tomorrow.” And with that, he gives me one more look, one that promises all the naughty things I’ve been thinking about all day, and heads toward the elevators and out of sight.
“Well, I guess that means I can go home,” I say, closing my computer and packing up my purse.
“Don’t think this is normal. You’ll probably be here late every night from now on.” Maggie says it like a threat, but for me, it’s more exciting than anything else.
“Good,” I say as I stand and give her one last look. “It’s why I'm here.” And with that, I walk in the same direction that Luke just went and don’t look back, trying my hardest not to run because there’s somewhere I need to be.
Chapter 8
I don’t even have a chance to knock on his door before it’s flying open and I’m pulled into his apartment. As if it's déjà vu, I have no time to take in his décor, or any other aspect of his apartment because his lips are on mine and everything else fades away.
“Staying away from you this afternoon was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life,” he grumbles against my lips as his fingers find the zipper of my skirt and pull it down, leaving the fabric in a puddle at my feet.
“You didn’t have to stay in your office all day and leave me with Maggie. You could have shown me all of that yourself.” I’m baiting him. He knows it by the way he bites my bottom lip that causes my breath to catch.
“If I was out there with you, every single person in that office would have seen exactly what I want to do to you, and I don’t know about you, but there are some things that should be left behind closed doors.” He doesn’t wait for my reply as his fingers find the edge of my panties.
I expect him to rip them from my body, I expect them to be shreds on the hardwood floor, but what he does shocks me even more. He pushes me up against the hallway wall, taking both my hands in one of his and lifting them above my head as his blue eyes stare straight into mine.
“I know you expect fast and hard right now, Charly, and trust me, I’m fighting every instinct I have not to just tear every inch of clothing off you right now.” At that image I groan, my eyes closing as my head falls back against the wall. “But I want to savor you. I want to kiss every inch of your tight, glowing skin. I want to taste you until you scream on my tongue, and I want my fingers to feel you squeeze as you come all over my face.” His hands brush lightly over the exposed skin of my stomach as he deftly undoes every button of my blouse, showing off my white lace bra that leaves nothing to the imagination. “You are just as gorgeous as I remember.” His voice is rough, the growls coming faster the longer his fingers grip my skin. “I wonder if you taste as good too.”
“You tasted me five hours ago,” I mumble, the sensation of his hands on my skin almost too much for me to take.
“That’s five hours too long…” he growls as his lips find their way to my neck once more, his fingers travelling lower and lower with each breath I take. And when he reaches the edge of my panties, he stops and my eyes pop open. “I’m going to give you one last chance to say no, Charly.”
I crease my brow because I have no idea why he's stopping.
“What?” I breathe.
“One last chance to say no. One last chance for you to leave.” When I continue to stand there, saying nothing and confused as ever, he says, “After this moment, you are mine. No walking away, no second-guessing this. I’ve spent the past two days trying to get you out of my head, and I can’t. And I’m done fighting this. So, I’m giving you an out. I want more than just today. I want everything. You okay with that?”
My chest rises and falls with every labored breath because I never thought a man like Luke would say the things he’s saying to me. I never imagined that I would fall into the arms of a man that not only shared my passion for books but also looked at me as if I hung the moon.
I give him a small smile and a slight nod before that growl returns and his fingers delve past my panties and dip into my wet heat.
“Fuck, baby, you’re so fucking wet for me.” He moans, his fingers finding my clit and sending me barreling toward my climax way too fast. My body begins to shake as his tongue darts out, licking a path from my neck up to my ear and nips, causing me to fall over the edge.
“That’s it, coat my fingers, sweetheart.”
And I do just that, my arms wrapping themselves around him as I hold on for dear life as my climax rips through me. Luke holds me against the wall as my body shakes, convulses, and shudders as his fingers continue to play.
“Jesus…” I mutter, falling limp against the wall as Luke removes his fingers from my heat and brings them to his lips.
“Fucking hell, I could live off your taste…”
I say nothing, because what do you say when someone says that? Thank you? That sounds inadequate and honestly embarrassing. Before I have the chance to think on it too hard, Luke lifts me off my feet, my legs wrapping around his waist as he takes us into his bedroom and throws me onto the bed.
He doesn’t say a word, but his eyes promise so much as he prowls toward the edge of the bed and before he gets there, I stand, making my way to where he's rooted in place and when my fingers play with the clasp of his belt, he takes a shuddering breath.
