I nodded, wanting more of this, him bare inside me. His raw masculinity on full display. How many people got to experience something like this? Even if he was my brothers' friend, I could enjoy this for now.
"Fuck, yes. I'll make you feel so good," he said as he moved my panties back into place.
"You always do." I fixed my bra and sweater, then smoothed my skirt.
With one more kiss on the lips, he said, "You go first. That way no one sees us together."
I sighed, wishing it could be more than sex, but then it wouldn't be the same. We wouldn't be sneaking around, and it wouldn't be so satisfying. I couldn't bring a relationship vibe to this.
When I didn't move right away, he pulled me away from the wall, smacking my ass. "Till next time."
I flashed him a grin over my shoulder, knowing I wouldn't be able to wait for that. Then I sauntered down the alley, giving my hips an extra sway.
I swore I heard a growl from him.
This is how he wanted it. A quick physical release and then we went about our days. I couldn't help but want more, but I wasn't naive. I knew that if we did anything else, it wouldn't be the same. The interest would wane; the chemistry would dissipate.
This is the only way we worked. Quick fucks against the wall were all I was going to get. He couldn't bring me home to introduce me to his family, and I certainly couldn't take him home to mine.
I attempted to tidy my hair and straighten my clothes as I stepped onto the sidewalk. Hopefully I'd make it back to my office before anyone saw me and knew exactly what I'd been doing.
This might not be the smartest thing I'd ever done, but it sure was the most pleasurable.
Chapter 12
Cooper
I couldn't believe I'd forgotten a condom. It was reckless, but it was in the heat of the moment. Every time I was around Aspen, I lost all sense of reality. All I could think about was getting inside her, feeling her sweet heat surrounding me.
I didn't want to walk away, but we didn't have a choice. All we had were stolen moments, a few seconds of blissful release. Then we had to clean up and be on our way. I had to pretend like we were just business associates.
Thankfully, she was on birth control, and we were both clean, so there was no real risk. But there could have been. I'd never been so irresponsible with anyone else.
I wanted to think it meant something. That she was special. But there was no way we could be anything. If her brothers found out, I'd be out of a job. This was all we could have, and we shouldn't even be doing this.
It was crazy, but I'd never felt more alive. I wanted to run after her and ask her if I could go home with her. But that was impossible. I couldn't get any deeper with her.
After the advice I'd given Morgan when he found himself in the friend zone with Reina, I wasn't sure I was in a better position now. No matter how much I wanted another round, it had to be like this.
Today was the town's Cocoa Crawl, so Aspen would be busy. I couldn't get in the way of her doing her job.
Instead, I went to work, avoiding the crowds by getting there early. I tried to put Aspen out of my head since I wasn't planning on seeing her today. She'd be visible, walking the streets and going in the shops to ensure that everything was running smoothly. I wouldn't distract her. That wouldn't be fair.
This work needed to be done, and I needed to stay busy.
I'd gotten several hours of work done before I heard the door to the ballroom open. "I saw your truck," Morgan said as he walked in.
I sat back on my heels where I'd been pulling up tile. It was tedious work, but it kept me busy.
"I brought hot chocolate and subs." Morgan lowered the tray so I could grab a to-go cup and a wrapped sub.
"Thanks." I stood and moved toward the area where the couches were arranged and where I'd fucked Aspen a few days ago. I couldn't think about that while I was talking to her brother though.
I sat on the buttery soft leather couch and unwrapped the sub.
"What are you doing here by yourself again?" Morgan leaned against the wall across from me.
"I wanted to get ahead of the job." I took a bite of the turkey-and-cheese sub.
