“One day, you’ll be a very famous writer and I’ll tell everyone that you’re my girlfriend,” he says, staring into my eyes.
I go still. I thought that Jace intended this to be a short affair.
“You look as if that’s the last thing you want,” he says quietly after seeing my reaction.
“I’m just surprised that’s all,” I tell him.
“Why?”
I shrug and look down at his handsome face. I suddenly want to cry. I shouldn’t have slept with him. I shouldn’t have taken this assignment. Amelia was right to doubt my abilities. I’m way in over my head. I’ve been kidding myself. I can’t separate my emotions from my assignment. But it’s not fair to dump all my feelings of failure on Jace, so I plaster a smile on my face. Inside though, my heart breaks for him. There’s no good way out of this and he doesn’t deserve it.
“I didn’t want to hope,” I tell him.
His features relax with a smile. “Why? Are you married?”
I laugh. “Of course not.”
He slips a hand between my legs and rubs me over the thin fabric of my lacy see-through panties. He lets out a groan that intermingles with mine.
“I love how wet you get,” he says.
I gyrate my hips and press myself against his hand. “You do that to me, Jace Anderson.” I hope he’ll remember these moments when the truth comes out. No one can fake physical attraction for another person. I hope he’ll remember how much I always wanted him and that it will be a comfort to him.
He pushes my panties to one side and slides in two fingers. I raise myself to give Jace better access. He applies just the right amount of pressure on my pleasure points. His free hand slips under my shirt and he teases my nipples, one at a time.
I flatten my hands on his chest and caress the soft hairs covering it. I’m so glad tomorrow is Saturday and we can sleep in. Then I remember that Jace has to go to the clinic in the morning. I make a mental note to wake up and go with him. I can write at my desk while he makes his rounds.
“What are you thinking?” Jace says bringing his hands to cup my ass.
I laugh. “Sorry. I was making plans for tomorrow. I could go with you to the clinic and while you make your rounds, I’ll write on my work computer.”
“Sounds like a plan. I have a surprise for you as well. Pack for an overnight trip.”
“Where are we going?” This is so exciting. No one has ever planned a surprise trip for me.
Chapter 14: Olivia
Jace presses his erection against my ass.
I’m suspended between sleep and consciousness. I manage to crack open one eye. It’s still dark. I make a protesting noise but Jace ignores it. One hand comes up to cup my naked breast. He teases my nipple until it is a hard peak. I’m fully away now and alert to everything that Jace is doing. I could get used to this type of alarm clock. He peppers my neck with kisses, his scent surrounding me like a warm cozy blanket.
I love everything about Jace Anderson.
His hand moves away from my breast, trailing downward to my belly but then it veers to my hip and my ass. He pushes my leg to the front and dips his hand between my thighs. I moan when his fingers find my clit, sending me into shivers of ecstasy. Jace slips in a finger and fucks me with it. I thrust out my ass and wiggle it. Tortured moans leave my lips. “More.”
“Your wish is my command,” Jace says and he withdraws his finger. A few seconds later, I feel the tip of his cock at my entrance.
I’ve never wanted something this badly. Not at this time of morning anyway. He pushes it in and I bite back a whimper. He fills me completely and then we start to move together as one. I clutch the bedsheets as he thrusts in and out. It feels so good. Whimpers of need leave my mouth. I call out his name and beg him to let me come.
“Soon,” Jace says.
Hard, rough strokes rock my body until I cry out and cover his hand with mine. Our bodies fuse in one hot, shared sticky release.
“That was fantastic,” Jace says. His cock is still buried inside me. He kisses my shoulder. “I wish we could walk around like this forever but I’m thinking we might lose our jobs.”
I laugh softly.
“Get up, sleepy head. Time to shower,” he says and pulls out of me.
I’m not a morning person and I groan my way to the bathroom. I start to feel better when the warm water of the shower hits me. We wash each other and share a few hot kisses. We can’t keep our hands off each other.
