“You’re not going back there” are the first words out of his mouth. Does he think if he says it over and over I’ll just agree?
“I have to, Key.”
“Have you lost your mind? You could be helping create things for god knows what. I know how these things work. You break up projects into teams. This way, no one individual actually knows how the technology works. In the end, it’s only known by the higher-ups, and you’ll have no clue what you might be taking part in.”
I was already getting a sense this morning that’s how things worked. I get it. With so many people working on projects, you can’t trust them all. This keeps things safer.
“Gray was in my lab this morning. I’m guessing that’s not something he normally does with new hires.” No, that man should be busy doing a million other things.
“Is this you trying to talk me into letting you go back there?” His eyes are growing brighter by the second. Yeah, I knew the Gray thing wasn’t going to help, but I’m putting it all out there.
“As much as I hate to say this, it's clear he hired me because of my connection with your family. But what if I can learn something? Anything?”
“Elsy.” He whispers my name before he presses his mouth against mine. Keaton knows me well, and he knows he’s not going to be able to talk me out of this.
“Gray seems in control of his emotions,” I point out. “What if he knows things we don't know about what happened to you? If there’s a way for you to feel more in control?”
“No.” He shakes his head. “It’s you, Elsy. That’s where I find my peace. He doesn’t have an Elsy. I think that’s why he’s focused on my father for revenge. I think he believes my father had a hand in his father’s death.” I blow out a breath. How did my life get so complicated all of a sudden?
It’s worth it, though, because I wouldn’t change anything if it means I have my Key back.
Chapter Fourteen
KEATON
I told my driver to take us to Elsy’s apartment, so I’m not surprised when we stop outside her building. Pulling her against me, I climb out of the backseat with her still in my arms and walk into the building.
“Get your key out,” I say as I bury my face in her neck and wait in front of her door.
“You’re distracting me.”
“Think how I feel.” I squeeze her lush ass, and there’s a growl in the back of my throat that I can’t stop. “I need you, Elsy.”
I want to fall face first into her pussy and not come up for air. I know it’s only been days, but to me, this has been building for years. She’s been mine from the moment I knew what love was.
“I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of hearing that.”
Finally, I hear the door open and I sigh in relief as we go through and I kick it closed. My mouth is on her body as I carry her to the bedroom and start peeling at her clothes.
“Need you naked,” I manage to say, and material begins to tear. “Fuck, I’m sorry. I’ll buy you a whole new wardrobe.”
“Don’t stop.” She’s pulling on my shirt as I rip her skirt in half and toss the scraps away. “Holy shit.”
“What’s the point of all this power if I can’t use it?” I say, biting the edge of her panties and dragging them down her thighs. “If you like that bra, you might want to remove it. Now.”
Her hands hurry as I kick off my shoes and then drop my pants on the floor. My eyes don’t leave hers as she sits up on the bed and takes off her bra while I stand there in my boxer briefs. Fuck, I’m so hard, the head of my cock is coming out of the bottom where my thigh is, and I have to adjust myself so it’s not so painful. She watches the motion and licks her lips, but I shake my head.
“Not on your life, sweet girl.”
“Why?”
“I might be in control of what’s happening to me, but if you put your mouth on my cock, I have no idea what would happen. Just lie there and let me get my fill.”
She leans back on her pillows and then smiles in invitation as she spreads her legs. “I guess I can manage that.”
“So that’s what heaven looks like,” I say as I fall to my knees and pull her ass to the edge of the bed. “A sweet juicy pussy waiting to be licked.”
“Key!” she shouts when I cover her cunt with my mouth. “You’re so dirty.”
“You like it.” I hum when I taste her sweetness, and she moans. “I can’t wait to cum in you.”
