She smiled at him and raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to join me or are you just going to watch?"
"I haven't decided yet."
Joy danced in her heart and she stood under the hot spray of water, feeling the aches and evidence of the previous night wash away down the drain. With a peek at him, she could see the tension in his jaw and knew his thoughts. She decided to goad him, just a little bit.
So she turned to face him and ran her hands up and down her body, from her breasts to the delicate button between her thighs, moaning softly and giving him the impression that if he wasn't going to take care of her, she'd do it herself.
"You'd better knock that off," he said, his voice gruff, "before I do something we'll both regret."
"What's stopping you?"
He cursed and stepped into the shower with her. He slammed the glass door shut behind him and grabbed her, tugging her wet body against his. Kaitlyn leaned her head back against the shower wall as he devoured her lips and let his hands explore her, his fingers sliding on the dampness between her legs that the shower had nothing to do with. She gasped at his touch as he spun her around.
Pressing her forearms to the shower wall, she braced as he slipped a thumb into her before finding that magical spot inside. His other hand slipped around her hip to find her clit and her legs nearly buckled as he began teasing her as if he'd been designed to bring her pleasure.
Kaitlyn whimpered, loving how good she felt. Carter's thumb pressed against the sensitive spot inside her, sliding back and forth as he teased her clit with his other hand. The sensations had her resting her head against her arms, breathing, and praying she wouldn't fall as her legs trembled and pleasure built up deep in her core.
He leaned down, whispering in her ear. "You like that?"
"Oh yes. Don't stop."
"If I don't stop, are you going to come for me?"
She whimpered, nodding her head as the trembling spread like wildfire through her body and her body teetered on the edge of release. She bit down on her lower lip, trying to keep from crying out as he nipped her shoulder, his teeth dragging along her sensitive skin.
"I'm not going to stop. I'm going to get you there."
She held on for dear life as he fulfilled his promise, leaving her feeling like jelly as the orgasm ripped through her. With gentle hands, he lowered her to the floor of the shower before kneeling at her side to scrub every inch of her body with a sweet shower gel. The suds rinsed away and she felt loved, cared for, protected.
Carter had proven to her everything she'd thought about him - that if she wasn't careful, he'd own her body, mind and soul. She was dangerously close to falling in love with him.
But was that such a bad thing?
Chapter16
Carter
One week later...
“I really hate to say this,” Phil did actually look upset at the words coming out of his mouth and Carter believed him, “but I think it's better if you weren't at work for a few weeks. Give us some time to sort things out and figure out what we're going to do without you being here.”
Carter nodded.
He had no doubt that his HR team would have things under control before long. He had sent them a list of people to talk to at work, cameras to check, Kaitlyn’s statement and all the other information he could dig up so that they could accurately see what had gone on between him and Sally Greene.
“That's fine. Are there any parameters?” Carter wasn't sure if they’d need him to stay close in case they had to call him in, or if they'd rather him just be as far away as possible.
Phil shook his head. “Honestly, I think you should take a vacation. Get as far away from this place and the situation as you can, and just relax and enjoy yourself.”
A vacation. Carter hadn't taken a vacation in a very long time. He couldn't help but wonder if a certain honey-eyed woman would come with him.
As he turned to leave Phil’s office, the door opened and he came face to face with Sally.
He took a step back, refusing to make eye contact with her, and instead glanced at Phil. Phil walked forward, but before he could say or do anything to intervene, Sally poked a finger into Carter's chest, prompting him to take a step back.
“I can't believe you turned me down for that... that whore. You deserve everything that's going to happen to you, and trust me, I'm going to make sure it hurts.”
Unsure what to do and not wanting to make matters any worse than they currently were, Carter continued staring at Phil.
