"What do you say, Tatum? Will you join theteam?"
I could feel my eyes starting to sting. I had been working toward this position. I couldn't possibly turn it down, could I? "I'll see you Monday morning, Mr. Keller." The words fell out of my mouth before I had a chance to stop them. A single tear traveled down mycheek.
"I will call you with your flight and hotel details. I'll see you Monday, Tatum.Congratulations."
“Mr. Keller, you can just leave the details of the flight on my home number. I will send you an email with thenumber.”
“Thanks, Tatum. Have a greatevening.”
I hung up the phone and put my head in my hands. I had no idea what I had just done. If worse came to worst, I could always reject the opportunity if I found it wasn't for me. My phone chimed with a message. I grabbed it and saw an incoming text from Parker. My hands started to shake as I opened hismessage.
PARKER:I'M ON MY WAY HOME, THINK YOU CAN BE READY IN TWENTY, I THOUGHT A NICE DINNER IS IN ORDER, I MISSED MY BABYTODAY.
I typed out a quick reply and went to jump in the shower and get ready for dinner. There was no point telling him tonight. I didn't want to ruin our evening. It would be bad enough when I finally had to tellhim.
I unlocked the front doorand headed into the kitchen, Parker following close behind. I could feel his eyes on me as I went to the coffee maker, pouring some grounds into a filter. I felt his hands rub up myarms.
"Did you want acoffee?"
I felt his hands run back down my arms and his hot breath on my neck. His kiss on the back of my neck was like a bolt of electricity that shot through right to my center. Closing my eyes, I leaned back into him and reached my hands behind my head and into his hair. He ran his hands up my stomach and over my breasts, my nipples hardening under his touch. He spun me around and lifted me up onto the kitchen counter, and I wrapped my legs around hiswaist.
"Guess not," I mumbled as his lips found mine, his tongue exploring mymouth.
Finally, he lifted me off the counter and carried me into the bedroom and laid me on the bed. He stood over me and pulled his shirt off. I could never get enough of his chest—so well defined, his shoulders so broad, and thoseabs.
Reaching down, he undid the button on my jeans and lifted my top to kiss my stomach. He lifted me off the bed and pulled my pants off my body. I pulled my top over my head and met his lips as they came crashing down onme.
I reached my hand down and undid the first button on his jeans. I could feel how hard he was through the stiff material, and my hand ran over it and squeezed his hardcock.
"Take these off," I moaned, wanting to feelhim.
He slid himself out of his jeans and boxers. Reaching down, I could feel the wetness at the tip of his cock as I ran my hand over the soft skin. A deep, raspy moan came from him as I ran my hand over himagain.
"Jesus, I love it when you do that, but you've got to stop. I want to last longer than five minutes. I wanted you all through dinner," he said,chuckling.
Kneeling on the floor between my legs, he ran his hands over my hips. He grabbed the waistband of my panties and pulled them off my body, trailing kissing down my thighs. He stopped and took a deep breath, his eyes wandering from my face down my body. He placed his hands on my knees and pushed my legs open. His hands ran up my legs from my knees to my thighs. He looked me directly in my eyes as he leaned forward and placed a kiss right on my inner thigh. My breath hitched as he kissed the other inner thigh, and then he blew on my soaked, throbbingcenter.
"Get on your knees, baby. I want to feel what it's like to take you frombehind."
I rolled onto my hands and knees, and his hands grasped my hips as he pulled me back into him. He placed himself at my entrance and slid deep inside of me, filling me deeper than before. He pumped into me, slow and soft at first, and then a littleharder.
"My God, you feel amazing on my cock." He brought his hand around and started stroking my clit as he fuckedme.
I could feel his cock throbbing inside of me as I tightened around him, my release coming hard. He pulled himself out of me and lay down on his side, and I curled myself into him. Smoothing my hair, he wrapped his arm around my waist and placed a kiss on myear.
"I love you," he whispered into myear.
As the words fell from his lips, I felt as if someone punched me in the gut. I should have told him about that phonecall.
"I love youtoo."
After Parker had fallen off to sleep, I lay staring at the ceiling. This wasn't how this was supposed to go. I wasn't supposed to fall in love with him, and I certainly didn't know how to tell him that I had accepted thisposition.
The nagging feeling in my gut wasn't settling and was starting to make me feel sick. I didn't want to lose him again, but I feared that once I told him, he'd be gone. I rolled onto my side and watched him sleep. I was afraid this would be the last time I would see him like this, and I wanted to etch this memory of him in mymind.
The phone woke me out of a dead sleep. Parker was still asleep and had me securely wrapped in his arms. I went to reach for the phone, but he grabbed myarm.
"Let the machine get it. I want you," he moaned, pulling me back down and kissing medeep.
