“There. Just for you.”
My phone pings with a text notification. I open it, and it’s of him lying on his bed smiling with his arm behind his head so his bicep looks all flexed without him even trying. It’s effortlessly charming and sexy.
“It’s perfect,” I whisper.
“Don’t know about that, but thanks.”
“Don’t forget how all the heads turned in my office today.”
“I didn’t even notice. All I could see was you.”
Swoon…
“Mark?”
“Yeah, babe?”
“I wish you were here. I kind of enjoyed our last sleepover.”
“Me too.”
“I kind of want to do it again.”
“You tell me to come, and I’ll hop in the truck.”
“Noted.”

Friday rolls around and I am dying to see Ava. I need to kiss her. I really, really, really need to fuck her. By eleven-thirty, I’m desperate and leaving the office a little early to go through a drive-thru for burgers with extra pickles.
I step into Ava’s lobby and immediately zone in on the temp secretary that was here Tuesday. She grins and sits up straighter, tucking her hair behind her ears.
“Hi there! I remember you. Is Ava expecting you?”
“Hi. Uh, no. I kind of just winged it because I know she goes to lunch at noon. She in?”
“Yes, and her last client just left ten minutes ago. It’s probably safe for you to go on back. Last door on the right.”
“Thanks.”
I walk back and get a peek of toes resting bare on top of a wooden desk. They’re painted hot pink. They’d look good next to my ears.Easy now.She’s got her head tipped back against her chair with her earbuds in and eyes closed. I lean in the doorway to admire for as long as possible, watching as her toes dance tothe music when it evidently hits a good spot. I don’t want our burgers to get cold, so I pull them out of the bag and walk over to her desk to set one down. Pulling out my phone, I text her because it’ll ding through her music. I don’t want to touch her randomly and make her scream.
Me: You’re so cute.
The phone buzzes on her desk, eyes popping open from what I guess is the notification. She jumps when she sees me but smiles. I hold up the food bag with one hand and my phone with the other for her to see my intentions. She pulls out her earbuds as she pulls down her feet from the desktop.
“Well there’s the handsome face I’ve been thinking about all morning.”
A wolfish grin spreads from ear to ear, tightening my cheeks.
“I come with burgers. They were out of kisses, so I was hoping maybe you could help me with that one.”
“Shut the door.”
Oooohhh.I like the sound of that. I’m sure my face says it because she laughs out loud. I close it and come to sit back down in the chair across from her desk. I pull off all my pickles and lay them before her like an offering. Fuck, I’ll do absolutely anything to just get a taste of this woman. Icraveher so bad it hurts.
