Russia. It was so exotic – not quite European, and so foreign that the language may as well have been alien to me. I thought about Nico calling me some pet name in Russian and blushed hotly.
Fuck, get a grip, I told myself.
At eleven-thirty on the dot, I got up from my desk and walked to the elevator. I’d worn my sexiest shoes that day – a pair of black patent leather spike heels that hadn’t seen the light of day since long before Ada had been born – and I wobbled precariously, not used to wearing such things on my feet.
Nell caught my eyes as I walked past her office. To my surprise, she smiled at me and got to her feet.
Oh, no, not now – you can’t call me in for a meeting now, I thought. My heart started to race as Nell walked out of her office and joined me in front of the elevator banks. The elevator arrived and the doors opened. As I stepped inside, Nell followed me.
“Nice day, isn’t it?” Nell asked. “Want to grab lunch together? I was thinking we could chat about the second photoshoot – I have some great ideas.”
“Um,” I said.
“Italian sounds good – I know we shouldn’t eat carbs in the middle of the day, but I’m really craving some pasta, maybe with pesto instead of red sauce,” Nell continued. “Or maybe we could get sandwiches – there’s a great deli around the corner that makes their own bread, I swear, they’re the best in the city.”
When she saw the look on my face, she stopped. “What is it?”
“It’s nothing,” I lied. “I actually have a doctor’s appointment, so I’m just going to eat at my desk when I get back.”
“Where is it?” Nell asked. “I’ll walk with you – the weather is perfect, we can chat about the shoot.”
“Oh, no, you don’t have to do that,” I said quickly. “To be honest, I’m pretty nervous – I was planning on just putting on a podcast and walking.”
“Oh,” Nell said. “Well, that’s okay – we can just catch up later.”
The elevator arrived at the ground floor and as soon as the doors opened, I shot Nell what I hoped was a warm smile and strode off in the direction of Ulrich Sports. I should have been feeling intense relief at the fact that my boss was finally being friendly to me, but now that I was alone again, Nico was back on the front of my mind.
His office was quiet, and I grinned as I passed by the empty desk where his assistant sat – where I’d once sat myself.
I braced myself, then knocked on his office door. Nico opened it and I gave him a sultry smile before striding inside and closing the door behind me.
“Nice to see you,” Nico said. His sapphire eyes were blazing with obvious lust as he looked over me. “You look amazing.”
I blushed. “Thanks,” I said. Nico was wearing black trousers and a black button-down with the sleeves rolled to his elbows. The dark color perfectly complemented his skin and staring at the way his muscles moved underneath the expensive cotton made my heart beat faster.
I couldn’t believe that I was doing this – leaving my office in the middle of the day for the express purpose of having sex. I’d never thought of myself as particularly kinky – in the four years since I’d had Ada, I’d mostly made do with a Hitachi wand that I’d bought while drunk shopping one night online – but this was racy, this was smoking hot, this was so naughty that I was already soaking wet.
“I see your assistant got sacked,” I teased as I walked over to Nico’s desk and leaned against it.
Nico grinned. “I sent her for a very long lunch,” he said. “She has no idea that Zabar’s is in Midtown.”
I laughed. “You’re evil,” I said in the same coy, teasing tone.
Nico walked closer and stroked a finger along my bare neck. His touch was electric and the hair on the back of my neck stood up as he drew it lower and lower, until it was running along the neckline of my dress.
“Go lock the door,” Nico said in a low voice. He leaned close, brushing my earlobe with his hot breath. “And I’ll show you just how evil I can really be.”
A hot shiver of anticipation ran down my spine and I suppressed an excited whimper as I crossed the room in my impossibly high heels and locked Nico’s office door.
Then, I turned and stalked over to him. I kissed him hard, wrapping my arms around his neck and plastering my body to his. Already, I could feel that Nico was hard and the memory of his perfect cock made me moan softly into his mouth. When we broke the kiss, we were both breathing hard. Even though Nico’s office was chill and air-conditioned, my skin felt tingly and hot and I was beginning to sweat.
