“Well if shit doesn’t stop going sideways, I may rent an office from him just to get away from my brothers,” I grumble.
“Do it!” Callie exclaims, she’s usually the quiet and reserved one, but lately it’s as if she’s come out of her shell more and more.
“Okay, I’ll keep you guys posted. I’m pulling into my driveway now and I have got to work. Love you!”
“Love you guys,” Presley says and then clicks off.
“Love you all. I have to go anyway the boss from hell is back now.” Callie ends the call too.

It’s been three days since I’ve seen Lyla. I figured for sure she’d be back the next day but with no way of reaching out to her, I did what I do best — I buried myself in work. The shop has been slammed, and I don’t see any of us slowing down anytime soon.
I’m just coming back in from working on a rusted out Chevelle when I see the woman that has my thoughts jumbled up.
“Hey, Colt,” Lyla says, her hands loaded down with so much I’m surprised she can hold it all.
“Hey, babe,” I say and go to grab some of her stuff.
“I hope you don’t mind me taking over the office you mentioned. I really tried. I even had a family meeting, but my brothers have taken to not only calling and texting, but now they’re stopping at my place while they run errands.” I can hear the annoyance in her voice. From what I hear, she may be the oldest of the four siblings, but her brothers protect her pretty fiercely.
“Not at all. I was going to call you to see if you wanted it but didn’t have your number. Come on back, I’ll show you the office.” Her office will be adjacent to mine, so every time I’m in my own office I can see her. When I first bought this place, I was reluctant and wanted to take out the glass walls and doors. Now, though, fuck am I thankful I didn’t do that.
I set down her books and paperwork on her desk as she comes in, “Wow, this is huge and so quiet. How much are you looking at for monthly rent?”
“Nothing, it’s been sitting empty for over a year now. Someone may as well put it to good use.” I’m not lying either. Plus, if I have it my way, she’ll be beside me in every way possible.
“Are you sure? I feel like I’m taking advantage of you.” She’s standing behind what is now her desk, wearing cut off jean shorts, a tank top that’s giving me a glimpse of the cleavage I really want to see unbound and in the palms of my hands. Fuck, I’m getting hard imagining every way I could take her, here in this office.
“Positive. I’ll let you get to it. I’ll be in my office if you need anything. Glad I could help you out, Lyla.” I step into her space, my thumb finding the apple of her cheek, and I run it along until I have to back away. If I start this right now, my hand would be wrapped around the nape of her neck and my mouth would be owning hers.
“Thank you, Colt,” Lyla breathes out, then I turn around and head to my own office.
I take one last look at her and say, “Any time, Lyla.”

Lyla
I have to say, working at Colt’s office has me more productive than ever before. Not to mention, when he’s in his own office I sneak glances at him every chance I can. I even caught him checking me out once. The best part though — I don’t have to dress up, wear enough make up to have highlighter and bronzer on to get his attention. I spent well over a year having to dress perfectly, have my hair just so, and not to mention makeup. The best part about this job is wearing what I want while scoping out the next hottest trend.
Yesterday, I caught Colt’s eyes on me. I’m not the type that blushes, but I felt the heat come over my body when our eyes caught. He just smirked, licked his lips, and then proceeded about doing his paperwork.
I take a break from my work and make my way to his office. I knock and wait until I hear Colt say, “Come on in.” His eyes clocked me as soon as I got up from my own desk.
“Lyla, babe. You don’t have to knock to come into my office,” he says as I open the door.
“Oh, okay. Well, same goes my way then.” I grab my hair in my hand pulling it over to one side. Colt’s eyes track everything I do with it. I’m wondering if he’s thinking what I am. I can imagine being on my knees in front of him, his hands holding my hair back as I use my mouth on him. My mouth salivates at wondering how he’ll taste, what his size is, and just how fast I can bring him to his knees from pleasure alone.
