Jamie smiled. “It’s called closure. You need to be here.” She got a quick drink and turned to find Alex bending over in the pantry just inside the kitchen. "What’re you looking at?"
He glanced up and smiled, his lips tight. "These markings are from when we were little. On our birthdays every year, our dad would bring us in here and get our height. Funny how much we grew in tandem until Mark hit a huge growth spurt in eighth grade. I thought I would never hear the end of it."
Jamie moved into the pantry with him and wrapped him in a hug. "You okay?"
"Not really. I just want this to be over with." He glanced down at her and touched the side of her face.
The aggressive man she was used to was nowhere to be found. A scared boy stood in his place. She needed to remind him of who he was.
"Does this door shut?" She pushed it closed and reached up, turning on the light and smiling. "Do you know how much trouble we would have gotten in if we met when we were younger?'
"I can only imagine." A smile lifted his lips as his eyes narrowed. "I like your tactics for distraction. How did I get so lucky?"
"You haven't gotten lucky yet today, but let’s change that." She reached out and unzipped his slacks before moving to his knees. "No moaning too loud. They'll think we have a ghost for real."
Chapter 8
The need in his voice seared her, and there wasn't anything that she wouldn't have done for him.
"Are you serious?" He whispered and slipped his fingers into her hair.
She smiled up at him and stroked his cock a few times, coaxing it to grow and harden for her. "Yeah, as a heart attack."
Jamie leaned forward and brushed the side of her face along his erection as he growled low in his chest. "Besides... I owe you a good chewing."
He chuckled and leaned back against the wall of cans, tugging her a little closer as she took him in her mouth. The musky taste of his lust rolled over her tongue and she lost herself in needing him. Sucking and licking, pulling and stroking his thickness became her desire and she did it with fervor.
His hips bucked a few minutes into the sex, and he closed his eyes, lifting his head up and groaning. "Fuck, I'm gonna come. Move back."
"No. I wanna taste you." She moved back up and picked up her pace, working him until his entire body stiffened and his breath caught in his chest.
She drank him down and licked him clean as he watched, breathing like he'd run around the block a few times.
"That was insane, Jamie." He stroked her face before helping her up. She worked his cock back into his slacks and leaned against him, lifting on her toes to kiss him a few times softly.
"I needed to taste you anyway. I've missed being close." She licked at his mouth as someone pulled on the pantry.
Alex opened the door and pushed her in front of him as an older couple moved back, their eyes a little wide.
"Yep. It's got plenty of space for us to hide from the kids, dear." Alex wrapped an arm around Jamie's shoulders as they moved down the hall.
She chuckled unable to help herself. "You're so bad."
"Me? You just did the dirty with me in the pantry at my father's estate sell. There are freaking people everywhere." He moved into the largest bedroom and glanced around.
"The dirty?" She laughed. "We're resorting back to being teens. I can see it now."
"I like the idea. I'm gonna pop your cherry on the plane." He wagged his eyebrows and moved up to wrap her in a tight hug before consuming her mouth.
Someone cleared their throat, and they pulled apart as Mark walked in with a pretty middle-aged woman. "This is Sarah. She's one of the attorney's that's helping with the closing on the estate."
"I'm Alex Reid. This is my personal assistant, Jamie Connors." He shook the woman's hand and moved back, touching the small of Jamie's back.
She shook the woman's hand, but as soon as Alex started talking to the attorney, Jamie made a beeline for the door. It was crazy how they could be wrapped up tightly with one another one minute and the next he was introducing her as his PA. She was in fact his personal assistant, but after hugging and kissing at her in front of the woman, to introduce her as such left her looking like a slutty secretary. It was disturbing on many levels.
After pushing through the hordes of people, Jamie finally made it outside and moved to the side of the porch to lean against one of the railings. Alex had to know that things like that affected her. How could he not? No one was that insensitive.
"Hey. You okay?" Mark moved up beside her, pressing his shoulder against hers.
"I've been better." She rolled her eyes and turned to watch people continue to pile in from the streets toward the house. "I just don't understand what's so damn bad about letting people know that we're together. I'm good enough behind closed doors but..."
