“I’m looking forward to working more closely with you,” he stated firmly when he pulled back. “And Luci?”
“Hmm?”
“You might as well forget panties. They won’t be necessary going forward.”
I met his glowing gaze. “Yes, sir.”
“Good girl.”
The praise made my body hum.
I was surprised to see that I was once again standing on my own, my skirt no longer pulled up, and my panties had been righted. When Ben left the room, Landon got to his feet. I waited patiently, unsure what I should do now. When he came over and kissed me roughly, I could tell that he had enjoyed the show.
“Thank you for that,” Landon said softly, his lips brushing over mine. “I enjoyed it immensely.”
I swallowed hard and nodded.
Justin then stepped in front of me, cupping my face gently. “I’m definitely eager for more.”
“Me, too.” No way could I deny it. I didn’t even care that it made me look like a hussy.
“If you need anything,” Justin continued, “you let me know.”
“Yes, sir,” I replied softly, leaning into him when he pressed his mouth to mine.
“I’ll be gone for the next few days, but I look forward to seeing you on Friday morning.”
I smiled. “I’ll add your trip to the calendar.”
Then Justin left and I was alone with Langston. My heart rate spiked when he got to his feet and prowled closer. This man had captivated me from the beginning. He and Landon both. Perhaps it was due to the fact that they looked identical but were so different.
While Landon was more of an open book, Langston was so hard to read, but there was something about him that made me want to know more, to discover every nuance of his being. I wanted to listen to his voice when he spoke, wanted to do whatever was necessary to put a smile on his face.
His hands returned to my neck, the same way they had earlier, his thumbs brushing under my chin.
“You’re so fucking beautiful.” His tone was deep, gruff, with an edge to it, as though he didn’t want to find me beautiful. “You make me want things I know I shouldn’t want.”
His words hit somewhere in the middle of my chest cavity. I wasn’t sure why that was, but it happened. And as I stood there, my breaths back to normal, I had to wonder if I was getting in over my head.
Enjoying the pleasures of the flesh—times four—was one thing.
Letting my heart get involved was something else entirely.
Somehow, I was going to have to find a way to keep that silly organ out of the picture. Otherwise, I wasn’t sure how I’d survive this.
“I hope you understand what you’re gettin’ yourself into.”
“Yes, sir,” I answered, my eyes locked with his. “I do.” I licked my lips. “And I’m…eager.”
“That’s my girl.”
Oh, yeah.
I was definitely going to have to have a talk with my heart. The damn thing was already starting to get jumpy.
As soon as I got back to my desk, I pulled out my cell phone and called to make an appointment with my ob-gyn. Thankfully, they had a cancellation that afternoon, which meant I didn’t have to wait. As it was, they said it would take a few days to get the test results back, which meant I wouldn’t have them until Friday at the earliest.
Since Ben seemed to be the one directing me most of the time, I shot him an email to let him know I needed to leave a little early. His response was, “Perfect.”
When Jordan invited me to lunch, I declined because I didn’t want to miss any more hours than I had to. He said he understood and surprised me by bringing me back a roast beef and Swiss sandwich.
“So, chickadee, where is it you’re sneaking off to this afternoon?”
“Doctor’s appointment,” I told him around a bite of my sandwich.
“Took a little longer than I thought,” he said.
Staring at him, I waited to see if he would expound on that statement. I had the sneaking suspicion that this wasn’t the first time this had happened. Considering he’d already told me that they’d gone through one secretary every other month for the eighteen months he’d been here, I had to believe that Jordan had caught on to what was going on here.
The question was, did I want to confirm that I’d fallen prey to these men as well? I mean, I was happy about it. No, amend that. I was ecstatic. The things that went on in this office intrigued me. I needed to know more, to experience it for myself.
Sure, you’re probably wondering what would make a woman consider taking on four men at one time.
Well, the answer was simple.
I fucking wanted to.
I couldn’t deny that I felt some sort of attraction to each of them. They were unique men who had managed to endear me to them in a very short time. I wanted to see where it went. Plus, I was single, as were they. We were going to be discreet. Why the hell shouldn’t I explore my sexuality, find out what they could offer me? Did it make me a slut? Maybe.
