“I really do.”
“How badly?” Devin asked as his thumb found that swollen little clit between her legs and pressed.
“Very badly,” Charlie said, nodding solemnly.
“Are you wet for me?” he asked, already knowing just how fucking wet she was.
“Very wet,” she promised him, licking her lips hungrily.
“What do you want me to do?” he asked, feeling his cock jerk in anticipation.
Moaning, she pulled him back down and slowly kissed him as she ran her tongue over his with teasing caresses that had him groaning. When he felt her hand wrap around his cock, his breath caught. She stroked him for several minutes, making sure to rub the underside of his cock with her thumb until he couldn’t take it any longer.
When he broke off the kiss, she gave his cock one last squeeze before releasing him so that she could turn around and get on her hands and knees. Grabbing hold of her hips, Devin leaned down and pressed a kiss between her shoulder blades before he stood up. Releasing his hold on her hips, he placed one hand on the small of her back as he wrapped his hand around his cock and-
“Oh, god…” Charlie moaned as he traced her wet slit with the tip of his cock.
Unable to wait any longer, he slowly pushed inside her with a groan. She was so fucking tight and wet, Devin thought as he watched her generous ass that he loved so much press back against him. As he pulled back, watching as his cock slowly appeared, glistening with her arousal, he found his attention shifting back to her beautiful ass. He’d never been this obsessed with a woman’s ass before. Christ, he loved her ass.
Then again, he loved everything about her, Devin thought as he watched her pull away. By the time she rolled over onto her back, he was already there, pushing back inside her. She had her legs wrapped around him before he finished the first stroke. He took his time fucking her, uncaring that he was going to get stuck in traffic as he savored the feel of her wet pussy wrapped around him, squeezing him with every thrust inside her until he felt her clamp down around him and-
She moaned his name, whispering all those things that she knew that he wanted to hear in his ear as her hands slid over his ass. Her hips rolled harder and faster beneath him, desperate to meet every thrust as her back bowed off the bed and his name was torn from her lips as she milked him, clamping down around him. He felt his balls pull up tight seconds before intense pleasure moved up his cock only to shoot up his spine as his cock jerked inside her in time with the pleasure tearing through him.
For several minutes, he lay there, struggling to catch his breath until he forced himself to let her go, knowing that he couldn’t stay. When he pulled back, he felt his lips twitch when he found the little traitor closing her eyes on a sleepy murmur. By the time that he stood up, Charlie was curled up on her side with the comforter pulled over her, fast asleep. Somehow, he resisted the urge to lean over and kiss her and forced himself to move. After a quick stop by the bathroom to clean up, he headed for the door, careful to close it quietly behind him. Ten minutes later, he was walking up to the front desk.
“Good morning. How can I help you?” came the warm response as Devin pulled out his credit card.
“I’d like to pay for my room,” Devin said, handing his credit card over as he took in the deserted hotel lobby. Last night when he’d arrived, it had been filled with convention attendees, guests looking to check in late, and a few guests trying to figure out where their rooms were as they stumbled towards the elevators.
“What room would that be, sir?”
“Room 735. It should be under Bradford Creations,” Devin said, glancing towards the glass patio doors overlooking the pool, wondering if the kids would like to-
“That room is under Dabbi Digital Marketing. Are you sure that you have the right room?”
“I guess not,” Devin said, frowning as he picked up his card. “Thanks anyway.”
For a moment, he was tempted to go back upstairs and double-check the room number, but he was already late. Deciding that he’d grab the bill from Charlie when she got home so that he could reimburse her, he headed for the door.
He was still thinking about it several hours later when he finally made it in to work. He got stuck in traffic on the way home and didn’t get a chance to grab breakfast after picking up the kids and dropping them off at school, but it had been worth it, Devin thought, unable to help but smile as he walked in the back door of Bradford Creations with Bradford by his side and-
“I’m sorry to bother you, Devin, but I was hoping to get a chance to talk to you before you made your decision,” Kelly said, drawing his attention to find her standing by the backstairs, hugging a small stack of mail against her chest. When she saw Bradford, she cleared her throat and took a step back while the dog that demanded love from everyone, stood at his side, glaring in her direction.
“What decision?” Devin asked, absently reaching down to scratch Bradford behind his ears.
“I know you’re probably busy and a lot of people are going to be applying, but I thought with Charlie quitting and everything that it wouldn’t hurt to throw my hat in the ring,” Kelly said with a hopeful smile as she pulled one of the envelopes from the pile in her arms and handed it to him.
“What are you talking about? Charlie’s not quitting,” he said, opening the envelope to find a neatly organized resume for Charlie’s job.
“Umm, I’m sorry, but I thought you already knew with Charlie having the mail for her new business sent here and all,” Kelly explained with a shrug as she handed over the rest of the mail and-
Devin felt like he’d been sucker punched when he saw Dabbi Digital Marketing written across the first envelope.
Chapter 36
Two Days Later…
“Crap, crap, crap, crap!” Charlie muttered as she let herself into her apartment because it was either that or scream.
When she found out who was screwing with Bradford Creations’ social media accounts, she was going to kill them. She was beyond pissed right now. She was also starving, exhausted, and furious that someone was doing this.
Thanks to whoever was screwing with Bradford Creations, Charlie had been forced to spend the entire night trying to fix this mess. Oh, she was going to kill someone, Charlie thought, forcing herself to take a deep breath as she dropped her bags near the door only to curse when she saw what time it was.
She was hoping to grab an hour of sleep before going to work, but between traffic and trying to convince the web hosting company that she went through for Bradford Creations that she hadn’t canceled her account, she was running late. For a moment, a very brief moment, Charlie considered calling in sick so that she could pass out, but she didn’t trust the jerk making her life a living hell not to take advantage and try something else.
She just needed a shower, an unhealthy amount of caffeine, and a jelly donut and she would be fine. More than fine, Charlie told herself with a firm nod as she headed towards her bathroom, tripping over her bag along the way while she did her best to calm down when all she wanted to do was to throttle someone.
At least being pissed was better than wanting to cry, Charlie decided as she pulled off her clothes and angrily threw them at the hamper. For the past
two days, Devin had been blowing her off and she had no idea why. Every time she tried to call him or text him, he would tell her that he was busy and would call her back later, but he never did and now, she was home, pissed and trying to convince herself that everything was okay.
Once she figured out who was screwing with her, everything would be fine, Charlie decided as she stepped in the shower, pausing to adjust the temperature before stepping beneath the hot water and-
“Cold!” she found herself gasping when she opened her eyes and stumbled back as the shower curtain was slowly pushed open.
“What’s Dabbi Digital Marketing?” Devin asked casually as he reached over and turned the hot water back on while Charlie stood there, unable to help but notice that he looked pissed.
Really freaking pissed.
“I can explain,” Charlie said, licking her lips nervously as she struggled to figure out where to start only to gasp and blurt out, “It’s my company!” when he turned off the hot water.
Nodding, Devin turned the hot water back on. “Why did you move in here?”
“Because you glared at me until I signed the lease?” she reminded him only to gasp when he rewarded her with another blast of cold water.
“Why did you move in here?” he repeated.
She opened her mouth to give him another smart-ass answer to buy herself a little more time, but the expression on his face…
God, he looked so hurt.
“I gave myself a year to start an online marketing company. It’s been something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I kept putting it off, making excuses until Ben finally gave me the push that I needed. So, I set a goal for myself to finally make it happen. I gave myself a deadline, but in order to do it I needed to cut back on my expenses and save money. So, I-”
“Found a cheaper apartment,” he finished for her.
“Yes,” she said weakly, not really sure what else she was supposed to say.
