He pursed his lips and nodded, taking a long time to answer. "Yeah. Me, too."
Chapter 15
Jamie tried to work through the rest of the day, but the funk that rested on her after watching Alex having to fire Gina was almost too much. She had a million questions that she would have to work through with him later, but, for the time being, she was hoping to make him feel a little bit better.
She poked her head into his office and knocked softly. "Can I come in?"
He glanced up from staring at his desk. "Yeah. I'd like that. Close the door?"
"Sure." She walked in and closed the door before moving across the room toward him.
He turned his chair and let out a long sigh. "I don't remember ever feeling this bad in my adult life. She has kids at home, Jamie. There should have been a warning or something, right?"
Jamie sank down onto her knees in front of him, not concerned about her tight grey slacks getting dirty. She could run home and change before dinner if needed. She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against him, pressing her cheek to his chest. "I don't know. I think the situation was pretty bad, but I feel like shit too." She snuggled against him as he wrapped his strong arms around her. The scent of his cologne caught her attention, and she breathed in deeply, pulling it down into her lungs and letting it bring her back down to reality.
He kissed the top of her head. "I should cancel dinner. I'm really not up to entertaining anyone."
"No, don't do that." She looked up at him and reached up to touch the side of his face. "It's going to be okay. We'll work through it. Gina can't just have her hand slapped for theft, Alex. As much as I hate for us to lose her, when trust is broken like that—"
"I know. You're right." He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers as his fingers slid into her hair and tightened a little. "You taste good. Smell good, too. Get on my desk and help me forget about all of this."
"Let me lock the door." She nipped at his lips and got up with his help. After locking the door, she slipped her shoes off and sank back down between his thighs.
"I said on the desk, woman. Why is it so hard to get you to mind?" His lips turned up in a sexy smile. The sadness still clung tightly to him, but she could feel his need to forget about all of the drama for just a little while. It wasn't about lust, but about comfort and warmth.
"To mind? That's never going to happen. I always go against the grain. I'm a nonconformist. Didn't you know?" She licked at her lips and worked on his belt, then dragged his zipper down.
"I like what you're willing to conform to." He brushed her hair back. "Just watching your hungry expression leaves my body aching."
"Good. Let me help relieve you." She moved up and tugged his slacks open before sliding her hand into the slit in his boxer-briefs and pulling his cock out to lie against his stomach.
She let out a sound of pleasure and brushed her nose up the length of him as he groaned.
"Be easy with me." He worked her hair into a ponytail and held it as she glanced up at him.
"Easy? Never." She smiled and moved back down, licking along his erection until he wrapped his hand around it and positioned it toward her.
"I love watching you suck me. It's so fucking hot." He ran his teeth over his lower lip and bit into it. The look on his face drove her wild. She pressed her lips to his tip and moved down slowly, taking as much as she could into her mouth.
He tugged on her hair, pulling her back up carefully as she started to gag. He grunted loudly as his thighs tightened.
She ignored his desires and pushed his hand out of the way. She wrapped her fingers around him and pumped his swollen flesh as she took her time with him, working him to the edge of orgasm, and stopping long enough to cause him to cry out. She played with him for a long while, but upon rising to his peak the third time, he wouldn't let her play games anymore.
"Not again, baby. Not again." He tilted his hips and gripped her hair tightly as he pressed his hips up fast and hard, losing himself until he came. His release was accompanied with several short cries that left her entire body on fire for a long night beneath him.
She drank him down and moved back only when he beckoned her to.
"That was incredible. Damn." He caressed the side of her face and smiled down at her. "I'm going to marry you one day. Did you know that?"
"Just ‘cause I sucked your cock?" she teased. She moved back as he worked to put himself together again. “Probably not the right moment to pop the question,” she laughed, but her heart raced at the thought of him even mentioning marriage.
"You’re probably right.” He grinned like a goofy boy and then anxiety crept into his eyes. “But you are looking forward to the day I pop the question, right? One day would you consider becoming Mrs. Alex Reid?" He got up and pulled her into the strong circle of his arms before pressing wet kisses up the side of her neck.
"Absolutely. I'm looking forward to that, and every day after that I can call you mine." She stole a sweet kiss from his lips and pulled away from him. "I want kids, too. Did you know that?"
He chuckled. "I imagined you did. We'll have as many as you want. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to say no to you in bed."
"Sounds like a conversation for another day." She wiped her fingers over her lips and smiled. "You tasted like desire."
