Page 70 of Getting Down to Business

But he knew what she meant, and it was nice to see her take a break from worrying over the presentation, which she had already perfected earlier.

“Fine. We’ll go out to a club.”

“I’ll buy you a drink, since you were such a big help today.”

He knew he wouldn’t let her buy him a drink as payment for doing something he wanted to do. Not to mention something he was already being compensated for by his salary.

Besides, he had fun helping her with her proposal. She was brilliant and should have been promoted years ago.

He showered after Alyssa came out of the bathroom. When he was dressed, he sat on the sofa, waiting. Alyssa was pretty quick about getting ready. She was gorgeous so there was only so much that she needed to do.

She emerged from the hall wearing a short red dress. Her blonde hair fell in waves past her shoulders and her face had a subtle amount of makeup. Just enough for a guy to see she would still be amazing without it.

He felt lucky to be able to walk into any place with her on his arm.

Ten minutes at the club, and Gray was ready to get out. He finished his drink and danced with Alyssa. Grinding up against her body had the effect he predicted. He frowned when they sat down again.

“You don’t seem to be having fun,” she noticed despite his attempt to hide it.

“Honestly?”

“Of course. That’s the rule, right? No bullshit.”

He nodded. “I would have rather just stayed home and snuggled on the sofa with you while watching a movie where things blew up.”

“Hmm.”

“Don’t give me shit about it. You asked.” He frowned at his hands on the bar.

“I’m not going to give you shit. I was just thinking it sounds nice. I wouldn’t have to wear heels.”

“Oh, no. You still need to wear the heels, but with your bra and panties.”

“How about no heels, a T-shirt, and a pair of your boxers?”

“Deal.” He held out his hand and she shook it before tugging him off his stool.

“Let’s go.”

Seeing her in his clothes did something primal to him. It was as if she were marked by him. She was his.

He smiled as she settled on the sofa in his boxers. She rested her head on his thigh and her long legs stretched out, taking up the rest of the space. He played with the long strands of her golden hair until the movie began.

This was so much better than a loud crowd or going off with a stranger. While he’d done this many times with past girlfriends, this was a contentment Grayson had never known before Alyssa moved in.

The movie was horrible, so he wasn’t surprised when she started to fidget only ten minutes into it. What did surprise him was what she began fidgeting with.

She slipped her hand under the waistband of his shorts and was now stroking him with a phenomenal rhythm. She twisted around in his lap as he let his head fall back against the cushion. He closed his eyes, letting the feeling of her touch sink into his bones. Then he felt something else.

Warm, wetness surrounded him and he looked down to see her mouth gliding up and down his length.

“Liss?” he said shocked.

She paused and smiled up at him.

“What? You said this was one of the perks of having a screening.”

He had said that, but then she hadn’t wanted him to take advantage of that perk for her pleasure.
