It would be embarrassing if she didn’t sound so awed. “Touching you was enough,” I said.
She made a noise that was somewhere between a sigh and a scoff and held out her hand to me. “Are you coming back to bed?”
Like she needed to ask, I thought. I climbed back onto the bed and fit myself between her thighs. “Say you want me,” I told her.
Alex smiled. She couldn’t have looked more beautiful than she did now. “I want you,” she said in such a sweet, pleading tone that there was nothing I wouldn’t give her.
Reaching down, I positioned myself so that I was pressed against her sopping entrance. Leaning down to capture her lips, I thrust inside. Alex moaned against my mouth. She hitched her legs higher up on my hips, pulling me in. “You’re so fucking tight, sweet girl,” I grunted and began rocking against her. Alex’s fingers bit into my shoulders as she clung to me. Her body worked against mine, meeting my thrusts, seeking her pleasure.
“Harder,” she gasped, bucking against me. “Please, Jake. Oh,please!”
I shifted so that I could sit up, and holding her hips in my hands, I drove myself into her. “You have the sweetest pussy I’ve ever been inside,” I told her.
Alex chuckled and shook her head. “I bet you say that to all the girls.”
I snapped my hips against her harder, making her cry out. She didn’t have to believe me. it would be better if she didn’t know how much being with her was blowing my mind since it couldn’t happen again after tonight. Instead, I threw her legs over my shoulders and reached between us so that I could use my thumb against her clit. “I want to feel you come,” I purred.
Alex cried out helplessly as her orgasm took over, and pleasure shot through my gut. Her body clutched mine, and it only took a handful of thrusts before I groaned and came into the condom. Gently, I pulled myself from her and collapsed onto my side.
She curled against me, and I wrapped an arm around her. “That...” She let out a low whistle.
I chuckled. “Yes, it was,” I agreed.
She tipped her chin up and looked at me. “But it can’t happen again, right?” It hurt more than I thought to nod. Having her in my arms didn’t feel like something that should only happen once. Tasting her should be a regular occurrence.
But I wasn’t about to take the job I’d offered away, either.
I cupped her jaw and bent to kiss her lips. I meant to be chaste, but I couldn’t stop myself from dipping my tongue into her lush mouth again. Alex sighed against me and pressed her body to mine. I shifted back and took in her hazy, aroused look. My dick made a valiant effort to rise again. “I guess,” I said, “we could make this a one-nightthing... and it’s early yet.”
She grinned. “I like the way you think.”

ALEX
The law firm was situated on the upper floors of a tall high-rise. I stood on the sidewalk, head tipped back, and tried to count the floors to figure out just howhighup I would be going. I wasn’t the biggest fan of heights, and being on the forty-second floor sounded like I would have issues.
“Are you doing okay there, Miss?”
I jolted and turned to see a handsome older guy standing next to me. He had dark eyes behind a pair of stylish, thick-rimmed glasses and equally dark hair that had been slicked back at one point, but some of it was falling across his forehead now. He had a three-piece suit that fit him like a glove. Attractive, for sure. “I have an interview on the 42nd floor,” I said, “and I’m trying to decide whether I’m actually going.”
He cocked an eyebrow in question. “Why wouldn’t you?”
I tried to ignore the slight heat that I could feel in my cheeks. “This is going to sound so stupid,” I confessed, “but I amterrifiedof heights, and when I agreed to the job interview, I didn’t know exactly where the office was located.”
The man smiled, but he didn’t try to crack a joke. Instead, he held out a hand toward me. “Thomas Porter. It’s nice to meet you. I’m a partner at the firm on that floor.”
I took his hand and shook it. “Alex Beechum,” I said. “Is it a scary view from up there?”
Thomas shrugged. “It freaked me out at first, I won’t lie to you,” he said, “but you get used to it after a while, and besides, if you’re interviewing for the paralegal position, you’ll spend most of the time in the conference room or in the legal library, and neither of those places has big windows.”
Relief genuinelyfloodedthrough me. “Really?” I asked.
He smiled, and it struck me as one of the most open, genuine smiles I had ever seen on a stranger before. “I’ve never seen someone get so happy about working in a windowless environment.”
I ducked my head. My cheeks filled with heat. “If the office were closer to the ground, it would be a real bummer.”
Thomas laughed. “Shall I walk up with you? The elevator isn’t nearly as scary when you’re with someone.”
