Addie had second thoughts as she rode the elevator up. What was she doing here?
William opened the door, wearing faded blue jeans and a crisp white button-down shirt. Casual. Especially for him.
Addie grinned as he moved to the side and ushered her in. “Working today?”
“Always.” William said as he bent down, kissing her on the cheek.
Addie glanced around the place, noticing how different it felt from her own home. How quiet and lonely it seemed.
“So you got me here. Now what?”
“Oh, so it’s like that now?”
William used his body to push her up against the wall in the foyer. He kissed her nose and brushed a strand of hair away from her eye. “This dress is uh . . . wow, but I’m afraid it’s going to have to come off,” William said, running his hands slowly down her curves.
Addie ran her fingers through his hair, curling a strand around her finger, tugging gently. “You think so, do you?”
William unzipped her dress, and Addie watched it fall to the floor. She knew what she’d come here for. Since there was no turning back now, she slowly pushed William to the floor and straddled him, slowly moving up and down.
William sighed, whispering in her ear. “I need you, Addison.”
Finishing in unison, they both sank to the floor. William put his arm beneath her head and turned towards his fingers tracing the outline of her face. “God you’re beautiful.”
Finally after a while, Addie said, “I don’t know what it was I came here for, but I guess that’ll do.”
“I’m glad you came.” The corners of his lips tilted slightly.
“I’m glad I came, too.” Addie smiled.
“That’s my girl.” William lingered over the words, understanding the double meaning behind Addie’s words.
“I shall come again.” Addie smirked, pulling her dress up.
William stared. “That’s my job.”
Addie shook her head, catching her reflection in the mirror. She couldn’t help but notice that the girl staring back at her looked happy. Carefree.
“Stay a while. You hungry?”
“I can’t. I’m sorry. I gotta get back to work.”
William faked a frowned. “Seriously? You’re just going to use me and run?”
“For now. Yes.”
“If you say so, I’ll have lunch sent to your office. It’ll be waiting when you get back.” William said, opening the door.
Addie kissed him briefly, trying to avoid the range of emotions she was feeling. Trying and failing to keep the situation light. “Thank you, William.”
William pulled her in and held her face in place while he kissed her the way he wanted. “No. Thank you.” He finally said, releasing her.
Addie returned to her office to find Sondra waiting for her. Shit.
Sondra stood as Addie entered. She looked . . . terrible . . . unlike herself.
Great. I’m getting fired.
Sondra motioned towards a chair. “Take a seat, Mrs. Greyer.”
