Saving Each Other (BWWM Romance) (29 page)

“I’m not saying that and you know it. You’re trying to hide that you want it just as much as I do but you’re too chicken to go after what you want. You hide behind making me the bad guy so you don’t feel so bad about wanting me t
o kiss you and make love to you right here in this office. I’ll let it go for now but just remember I will have you screaming my name as I’m inside you before I leave. And it won’t be because I want it but rather because we both want it. You can deny it now but you can’t deny it forever.”

I watched as he stomped away from me and down the hall. I was suddenly having a hard time breathing and I sat there breathing deeply through my nose and out my mouth. I wanted more than anything to run to him and tell him to do all the things he was thinking about doing. I wanted him just as much as he wanted me but I couldn’t give in. This was my job and I loved it. I worked too damn hard to throw it all away just for a good lay. I felt my face flush when I remembered how he had felt pressed against me. I needed to think of something else. It was 20 minutes later when he returned. He acted like nothing had happened between us as he sat down at his desk.

“Can you come over here please?”

My head snapped up. Was he going to play true to his threat?

“I need to ask you about these reports. You know, the reason you don’t have your work to do now.” His voice was clipped but not rude.

“Sure.” I walked over and he stood to let me sit down. He frequently asked me questions and we pulled out the ledgers from his home office to compare them with the ones in the files. There were way too many differences for it to be coincidental. Someone was stealing from the company. The problem was he seemed to think he knew exactly who it was although he didn’t say anything to me.

He began producing huge piles of reports from his bags. He informed me that there were many more that were coming. He had an assistant that was driving here from Los Angeles. She had a car full of the records and would be here the day after tomorrow. In the meantime we were to start working on the ones he had brought with him.

“I assume I don’t have to tell you that this is not to get out to anyone. Most of these reports were the ones that you have done since you were here but there are some that go back to three years before you.”

“No you don’t have to tell me to keep my mouth shut. I wasn’t born yesterday. Are you telling me that someone has been stealing from the company for more than 7 years?”

“Yes.”

“You just now caught it? Geez I can only imagine how much they have stolen all this time.”

“Well we will know in the end. Okay. Here is the first stack. Now that I have showed you what to do then if you wouldn’t mind taking some of them with you over to your desk and comparing them. Anything that doesn’t match, highlight. Then add up the differences by page. At the end of your stack which is sorted by month, go back and add up the total in differences. Then we will add up by the year. After the seven are completed then we'll know how much this person stole from us.”

“You mean you. How much he stole from you.”

He smiled over at me again like he would a small child. “No. When he steals from the company he steals from everyone who works here. Your yearly bonuses are counted on the revenue so if it's not what it should be then he has stolen from everyone.”

“Wow. I never really thought about it that way. You're right though. If the actual revenue was higher than reported then the company would owe all its employees their bonus money as well as stock that they have purchased through the company. You're a good man.”

“Why do you say that? I mean, I’m not disagreeing with you or anything but I would like to know your philosophy on the whole subject too.”

“Well you could find out who it is and then sweep it under the rug but you’re not. You're trying to find out how much down to the last cent. You plan on paying everyone the money that they should have gotten don’t you?”

“Yes. And the person responsible for this will be paying out of his own pocket.”

“What about those people who are no longer with the company?”

“I will find them and pay them what is owed. It's only right.”

“Wow.” I felt myself sit back in the chair as I cocked my head to the side and looked at him in wonder. I heard him chuckle.

“What are you staring at me for like that?”

“You're just not what I thought. I may have gotten you a little wrong in the beginning.”

“May have yes. And I think more than just a little, my dear, but we will let that pass. Now back to these reports.” He waved his hand at me with a smile as I gathered my pile and made my way back to my own desk. I could feel his eyes on my ass as I did so and I tried to stay calm and walk slowly. I knew if I hurried then he would be able to tell that he got to me. He may have made himself look better but I still was not having any type of attraction between us. There was no way that anything could happen between us.

No way and no how. I shook my head as I sat down. Leaning over my computer and intent on the screen I began to work. It was some time later that I felt something behind me. I tried to brush it aside and realized that I had touched skin. Turning I looked up to see David’s face right next to mine. I sucked in a breath as he gazed into my eyes. His lips touched mine before I knew it and throwing caution to the wind, I kissed him back. He slowly broke off the kiss and smiled down at me.

“It's late. I said your name three times and you never answered.”

“Oh sorry. Sometimes I get focused on what I’m doing and I tend to block everything else out.”

“Hmmmm. How about something to eat?”

“Okay?”

“Chinese okay?”

“Yes please.” I turned my attention back to the paper I was currently working on and let him order the food. When the food finally arrived some time later I looked up and saw that it was 7 in the evening. “Wow. I didn’t realize it was so late.”

“I know. It’s okay. Come sit on the couch with me.” He patted the seat next to him as he sat down and I was surprised to see he had a bottle of wine as well. He poured us two glasses in clear cups and then handed me a Styrofoam plate from my stash in the drawer. I couldn’t be mad though as my stomach rumbled with hunger. I was suddenly famished. “Dig in.”

We filled our plates full and started to eat slowly relishing the flavor of the noodles and rice.

“This is good.” He sat there smiling as he said it. “Wow.”

I realized my eyes had been closed as I chewed the delicious food. Each bite was more exquisite than the last and I enjoyed it immensely. I opened my eyes to see him looking at me. There was an expression on his face that had me wiggling on the couch a little before I started eating again. This time I kept my eyes wide open as I enjoyed it.

“Okay, I think we should call it a night. The cleaning crew has even come and gone. It's almost 9 o’clock.” He stood and stretched. I realized suddenly that his suit coat was gone and that the first few buttons of his dress shirt was undone, showing part of his chest. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows and his hair was tousled all over the place from where he had run his hands through it while working.   

“You’re right.” I stood and leaned over to begin clearing up the dishes. When I had everything packed up in the small containers I leaned over the small coffee table with a wet paper towel and began cleaning it off. I didn’t realize that I was leaning completely over and as he sat there, David got a better view of my upper legs in the back.

“Oh dear, help me.” I felt myself falling as his hands wrapped around my waist. I felt the leather of the couch sink in as I was laid on my back against it. He leaned over me and suddenly I knew what was going to happen. He kissed me then as his hands caressed my sides. Leaning over me he ran his hands down my arms. Everywhere he touched seemed to start to burn like I was suddenly on fire. His hands gripped my hips as he sat down on the couch. He brought me up so that I straddled his hips. I knew we were the only ones in the building. Nobody was there to see us and I kissed him back.

His hands swept up the outside of my legs to grip my ass and grind me against his hardened length. I moaned again as I pressed down into him. I felt the air touch the skin of my back as he slowly pulled my shirt up away from my body. I didn’t know where it landed and at that point I didn’t care. His mouth was against the warmth of my neck as he kissed along the slim column. He nibbled the skin and sucked it into his mouth before licking along the edge. He grazed it with his teeth as he heard me gasp with excitement. I felt my panties become wet as I got excited. There was a dull ache between my legs that only his cock could appease. I wanted him. I wanted him bad.

I felt the straps of my bra lower around my arms. His mouth continued its path down to a nipple where he sucked it into his mouth. He took his time with my body, sensual and slow, making me come alive and burn like I never had before. His hands caressed my back as he brought me closer and closer to his lips. My head flew back of its own accord as I began to pant with the feelings that coursed through my body. He made me feel needed. I needed to feel him. I wanted to feel him.

His hands kneaded my back and ass over and over as he ground himself against me. His hand dipped down my stomach to caress it in tiny little circles. I felt his hand slip under the band of my panties to continue its southern path farther down on my body. It finally came to rest between my thighs and I felt him slip his fingers into my slit to stroke it until he found the little bundle of nerves that almost had me bucking off of him completely. I felt his finger begin to circle my clit slowly. He pushed against it causing me to moan. Then he pinched it between two fingers and then I felt him slide a finger inside me and then two. He began to pump his hand in and out. I felt myself tighten around his fingers. There was no way to control it. He was going to cause me to orgasm from his fingers alone and I wanted it. I wanted him but I wanted to let myself fall apart around him. He pinched my clit again and I fell. I felt like I was falling from a cliff as I went overboard. I moaned and bucked against him as wave after wave crashed over my body. It was a relief of ecstasy that was unlike anything I had ever felt. I gasped as I yelled his name and emptied myself onto his fingers. He continued kissing my breasts and sucking my nipples into his mouth as I rocked over him. I wanted it all. I continued to rock into his fingers until every last drop expelled from my body. 

Suddenly the blare of his phone came through the fog in my brain. I looked down to see his half-closed eyes hooded with passion. Reality came flooding back and I realized exactly what I had been doing. What was wrong with me? He was my boss. I was supposed to be helping him find a thief not making love to him in my office. Although the thought did have considerable desire in it and it took everything I had to remove myself from his lap, I did so. He looked at his phone and sighed as he answered it. I watched as he began talking.

“Yes, Steph. Oh ok. That’s great. Yes, I am excited as well.”

My mind started to spin. Who was Steph and why did he seem so comfortable talking to her? Was she his girlfriend? Or wife? My eyes drifted down to his hand and saw that there was no ring. But that didn’t mean anything. There were some men who didn’t wear one. What in the world was I doing? I needed to leave and fast. I needed to get out of there and go home. I looked back over to see him laughing at something the other person said. It was the perfect time to get away. He must have seen the panic in my eyes. He put up a finger to ask me to wait for a moment. I searched around the office and found my shirt and bra flung on the floor.

“Trina, wait. Please.” I looked over to see that his hand covered the end of the phone. Whoever it was, he didn’t want them to know he was with me and he looked guiltily at me as he talked into the phone again. He apparently had no intention of ending the phone conversation. I began to get pissed. I felt used and discarded as I watched him stare at me as he spoke to another woman.

“Yes, I know. That would be great. Yes. I am so thankful to have you.” He must have realized what he had said because his eyes widened as he looked at me. I couldn’t take it anymore.

I pulled my shirt on over my head and shoved the bra into my purse which I grabbed off my temporary desk. I felt myself pressed against the door. I looked up to see that he held the phone at his side while he held the receiver. “Let me go. You apparently have better things to do or better people to talk to. I need to go.”

“It’s not what you think.”

“Yeah that’s what they all say.” I shoved at him and when he let go, stunned, I slipped through the opening of the door. What did I just do? I just let a man that I despised get me off, that’s what I did and I felt horrible because of it. I don’t know if it was because of who had done it to me or if it was because it was one of the best orgasms I had ever had in my life. Either way, I knew that I needed to do something to separate myself from the feelings I was starting to have for him. I despised him, yes, but I also wanted him. I wanted him like I had never wanted anything in my life. The problem was I couldn’t have him. Not now and not ever. I needed to remember that as well.
