He hisses between his teeth as his arms wrap around me. I know it’s an immediate turn-on for him. I lick over the same spot. “Can you see us having a future together, outside the office?”
“Yes.” No hesitation, no hedging, just the best answer I could hope for. “We could dig into this more once we move.”
“And maybe instead of getting separate places when that time comes …” I trail off, making sure he knows where my head is at.
Matthew kisses me hungrily, his fingers sliding into my hair as he licks deep into my mouth. I’m dizzy and breathless when he draws back. I know my nipples are hard and I can feel how wet I am after just this little bit of teasing.
“I like that step.” He kisses me again, and again, and again.
It puts a stop to any additional conversation until after two rounds of sex that leave my legs like Jello. I wrap myself around Matthew, knowing he likes to be a little spoon even though he won’t say it. He pulls my thigh over his hip and strokes my skin lazily.
“Are you sure about just having me? I mean, you’ve gotten to have a man at your disposal whenever you want and I need to be sure that if we decide to be a real couple I’m enough for you.”
“You’re more than enough Matthew. Each one of you is special and different, but you’re the whole package for me. Gunner is good in bed and has great jokes. Roman is intimidating, but we have good chemistry. Miles matches me for sass. I feel like I barely know Holden and Nick even though we’ve spent plenty of time together. You have stood out since day one.”
He beams and makes me squeak as he kisses me again and again, his mouth trailing over my body until I forget everything but how good he makes me feel. Every night with him is ecstasy, even when we just sit on the couch talking and watching T.V. Let alone when we’re like this.
My back arches as he kisses me again and I see the future solidify in front of me. Me and Matthew, dating. Official, in a serious relationship. It blows my mind and pushes me over the edge into a spiraling orgasm that weakens my knees, my heart, and makes me think we could actually make this work.
ROMAN
Ican’t wait until the new location is set up and we can move our base of operations to New York. It’ll be a time change, but will open us up to new clients, allow us to dig into the market on both coasts, and increase profits.
Not to mention, we’ll have more people so work will be better paced. Unlike now, where people scurry through the office like freed chickens. Bella comes from her own private space and walks to Miles while tapping away on her tablet. I drink her in.
She’s changed while here. She was determined at first, then a sexy minx, but now I can see that determined glint to her eyes. For the last week, she’s been wearing strictly slacks and professional tops, barely hinting at the cleavage underneath. Her hair stays in a bun and I’m sure she’d shut down any kind of fun in the office.
Especially after telling Gunner no. But she’s distancing from Nick and Holden. They don’t notice because they’re so wrapped up in work, but she hasn’t asked about them more than if they’re doing well if they’re overworking themselves if she needs to tell Nick to go home at a certain time.
But Matthew has managed to leave the house twice in the last week and hasn’t returned until nearly one a.m. Considering he lights up when he sees her and she gets a little blush across her cheeks and can’t help but smile when he’s around, I have suspicions.
We’re all focused on the expansion, and these two are …
“Hey, stop brooding. You’re going to scare all the chicks away in New York.” Gunner says.
“You want other chicks?”
“Bella’s fun. She’s hot as can be, but we’re not serious, I know that. She’s still a great option to have. Funny and smart,” He murmurs.
I know his coffee has Kahlua in it when he clams after taking a sip.
“I’m going to be here late tonight.”
Gunner nods, but I hear him murmur, “workaholic.”
I get through the day, organize everything online, send a few emails to Bella as necessary, then wait until I’m sure she’s left. Matthew’s office is dark too. Miles is the only other person in the building which is how I’ve planned it.
He puts down the phone and rubs his forehead. “I’m going to age five years doing this expansion.”
I sit and nod while folding my hands together. Miles looks up and then mutes his personal phone. “What is it, Roman? I know that face.”
“Matthew and Bella are getting close.”
He shrugs. “She has all of us however she wants us. That’s the deal.”
“I have a feeling she’s going to end that relationship.”
“With us or Matthew specifically,” Miles asks, giving me his full attention.
