“I think it’s all clear.”

“Awesome.” She kisses my cheek before she darts out the front door. I lock it up behind her and flip the sign over to “closed.” When I turn around I run right into a warm wall of man. I drop my head back and look up at Shaw, who is grinning at me.

“You’re very punctual.”

“I was counting the seconds.” I gasp as his big hands go to my ass and he lifts me off my feet to bring me eye level with him. “Give me a kiss.” I wrap my arms around him, not needing to be asked twice.

I press my mouth against his and his lips part mine as his tongue tastes me softly. I dig my fingers into his short hair and he kneads my ass in a possessive hold. A moment later he sits me down on my desk and lifts his head to look at me.

“I missed you.” I wrap my legs around him the best that I can. He’s a big guy and I’m not that tall.

“Missed you too.” He kisses me again, and I hum, thinking I could get used to this.

“Is there something you want to tell me?” he asks, but I'm not sure what he’s talking about.

“My bell isn't working?” I point to the front door.

“I’ll fix it tomorrow.” His lips twitch. “I was talking about the asshole from a few days ago stopping by.”

“Oh.” I turn to look at my desk and find the piece of paper I dropped. “I forgot about it already.” I shrug.

“Someone broke your back lock yesterday,” he reminds me, taking the number from my hand and balling it up before tossing it in the waste basket.

“Probably Missy.” That’s my guess. I’m not sure what the point of it would be, but I don’t understand why she does a lot of things.

“It’s clear you aren't into him, but he’s back here pushing. I don’t fucking like it.”

“Are you—” I lick my lips. “ Jealous?”

“Fuck yes.” I drop my head to his chest, hiding there for a second while I smile. I shouldn't enjoy his jealousy this much. I love that he wants me all to himself. “Jealous of these clothes too.” His hands move over my body and I tighten my legs around him.

“You should take me upstairs and I’ll get rid of them.” I barely get the words out of my mouth than he lifts me off the desk. He walks to the back but stops when he gets to the storage area. He bends down and grabs a bag before taking the stairs two at a time like I weigh nothing.

He sets me down on the sofa and gives me another kiss before he goes into the kitchen with his bags. I kick my shoes off and watch him make himself at home. He pulls out what I’m guessing is dinner and gets to work.

“You brought us dinner?”

“I want to feed you first.”

“First?” I tease, as if I don’t know what’s coming next. My body hums with anticipation.

I keep thinking about how easily he carries me around and puts me where he wants me. When I’m in his arms, I’m fully under his control while he takes his pleasure and gives me my own. Both sound as good as the other and I want it all.

He looks over his shoulder at me and his eyes are filled with hunger. I let one of the straps of my tank top fall and the way he watches it makes me feel so damn sexy.

“I’m still deciding if eating dinner first was a good idea.”

I clench my thighs together. “And what’s the verdict?” I wiggle a little, and the throb between my legs grows.

“Like I said, I’m still deciding.” His eyes roam over me.

“I’m still full from all the snacks you brought me.” I let my other strap fall and the silk of my top slips lower, revealing the swell of my breasts. I tease the edge and his eyes follow the trail my fingers make.

He drops whatever was in his hand and it hits the counter with a loud thud.

I think dinner is going to have to wait.

Chapter Ten

Shaw

When the last strap falls I can’t control myself any longer. She’s teasing me and she knows it. Although we both know she’s the one to instigate this, I have no problems bending to her will. Some men might be threatened by her, but those men don’t deserve her.

I move quickly to her, and before she can catch her breath she’s pinned on her back with me over her.

“Be careful teasing the lion, little kitty.” I bury my face in her neck and kiss my way down her chest.

Grabbing the edge of her pants, I push them off of her and toss them across the room. I pull her tank down and hear the sound of material ripping as I free her breasts.
