“People are going to start to wonder about us,” I reminded him as he leaned in to brush his lips against mine. I moaned as he pressed harder the second time, getting lost in his lips as I knew these moments would be stolen and precious. I didn’t have the same thing to offer as a woman on her own, ready to date and have fun. He talked me into the idea of lunch, calling out for Thai food. Brent ended up interrupting us and he joined us to eat as he looked from his best friend to me as I twirled my fork in my noodles.
“I assume you’re liking the job?” Brent asked as I nodded with a small smile. He wasn’t flirting at all this time and I wondered if he knew something as I looked at Alex. He was observing me and smiled as our eyes locked. Yep, he told Brent.
I focused on chewing my food, sipping water as I swallowed it down. “I am. It’s been great working with the team.”
“I’ve heard good things,” he said as I nodded with a small smile. I sensed that he was getting to know me as he asked casual questions and listened closely to my answers. Was he sizing me up? Did he think I wasn’t good enough for his friend?
I was relieved when lunch was over, and I could return to my desk. I knew that it was obvious what we were doing before Brent arrived and looked surreptitiously into a small mirror. “Crap.” My lips were swollen from the intense kisses and I rubbed a bit of balm on them before I unlocked the computer. I checked emails for anything critical before going over to see about the team’s progress, smiling when I walked in. “Hey, guys.”
“Hi, Sol,” Nicole smiled at me, tucking a blonde ponytail over her shoulder. We’d gotten to be friends over the last few weeks and I joined her as I looked down at some of her notes.
“I like this,” I told her, reading an idea for the real estate agency that we’d recently picked up.
“Thanks. What’s different about you today?” She asked as I glanced at her.
“Nothing. What do you mean?” I asked as I pretended to look at the table.
“You’re glowing. I don’t know,” she answered as I laughed.
“No reason. Maybe I got some sleep,” I suggested as the others gathered around and prepared to move forward with the plans. We worked through the afternoon and I went to grab my purse from the desk, glancing at Alex’s closed door. He must be gone for the day and I bit my lip. I’d take the bus home and hope that Rosie was there with Lindsay to take me to the new place, assuming we could pack up the car. I headed to the elevator and pushed the button, wondering where he was.
God. We weren’t even dating, and I was already being nosy about his whereabouts. A few great kisses didn’t warrant that, did they? I stepped inside of the car, reminding myself that he didn’t offer me a ride home today. It was just a gesture this morning and beginning tomorrow morning, I could walk the few blocks without a problem.
I walked out and made my way to the bus stop, checking my phone for any messages from Rosie. I felt unsettled and slipped the phone into my purse as I looked up and down the street. I heard a chime when I was headed home and checked to see that I had message from Alex.
A: Where are you?
S: I’m on the bus. Why?
A: I got stuck in a meeting. I was going to take you home.
That made me smile.
S: It’s fine. It’s just a short bus ride, Alex. Tomorrow I’ll be close enough to walk.
A: Are you sure?
S: Yes. I’ll see you tomorrow.
A: I’ll bring coffee.
I sat back and looked out at the buildings as we passed, getting lost in my thoughts about him. My stop was the third on the route and I stood and stepped down to the sidewalk as I glanced toward the hotel. I walked slowly that way as I focused on my future, beginning with the new apartment. I approached my door, seeing my car as I smiled. I tapped on my door and Rosie opened it with a big smile. “Hi. How did it go?”
“We took some things over and I got some food in the fridge. We can make dinner there tonight, if you want.” Rosie offered as I nodded.
“I would love that. Are you set to sleep there?” I asked as I walked inside and caught my daughter in my arms.
“Yes. Get your clothes together and we’ll take them over.” I packed them into my old suitcase and we loaded it into the car before I drove us to our new home. I took my time making chicken enchiladas with Rosie as we talked, all the while keeping an eye on Lindsay with her dolls. With the open floor plan, it was easy.
Once the food was in the oven, I walked back to check out the bedrooms. Lindsay had claimed the one across from mine and I smiled when I saw that she’d already set it up a bit. I walked into my room and glanced around the large room, knowing how peaceful it would be here. I’d left my bag out in the living room, but I’d grab it later. I walked to the balcony and opened the French door to step out and look at the city.
I knew that everything was falling into place for me, for us. We ate together once the food was ready and Lindsay took a bath in the jetted tub in her bathroom. She played with the toys and laughed in the big room as I watched her, smiling.
When she was in bed, I put my clothes into my closet and sat down on the bed with my phone in hand.
S: I love this place. Thanks for putting a word in for me.
A: Not a problem. I’ve sent a lot of people over there. How does everyone else like it?
S: We all love it. I cooked tonight for the first time in a few months. Lindsay took a bath in a real tub and she’s sleeping in her own big bed.
I felt weird talking about my daughter that he’d never met. I wasn’t even sure when he would meet her. Still, she was the most important part of my life and everyone that knew me would understand that.
A: Can I come over and keep you company in that big bed?
My face flushed at the memory of us in this room the night he brought me. I could still feel his lips on mine and I held in the giggle that threatened to burst out of me.
S: Not yet, Alex. I need time.
A: I get it. I respect that you are telling me that, Soledad. You’re a good mom.
We chatted a while longer and I sensed when the messages turned sexual. I’d give Alex credit. He moved smoothly into it and carried it on, arousing me with his husky tone. I ended up on the bed in the dark, touching myself as I listened to him come on the other end of the phone. This was so shockingly fast, but it felt right as I bit my lip to keep from crying out. I was worried that Lindsay might not sleep all night in her room and I’d be interrupted. When I woke up alone the following morning, I realized that she’d slept in her bed.
A part of me missed her but I needed to let her grow up.
Chapter Six
Alexander
I came hard as I listened to Soledad pant on the phone. I could do that every night until she was under me, taking my cock in her sweet pussy. I knew that she was going to be incredible, but I’d have to settle for stolen moments at the office or dates I took her out on. She was doing the right thing being careful about Lindsay. I just wanted her more than I had any other woman in my life.
A couple of weeks later, I found her, asking Soledad to work late with me in the middle of the week. A client was pressing me for an ad campaign for his new winery and it was someone that I needed to handle personally. I knew that she’d have excellent ideas for it based on what the team told me on a regular basis. When I asked, she agreed and sent Rosie a message to clear it with her.
I ordered in Thai at six to be delivered as she sat over her iPad and worked on ideas. We’d spoken several times on the phone by now and fooled around on a regular basis. Tonight, she wore a black skirt that flared around her knees and a clingy plum blouse and I eyed her curves hungrily. I knew that we were alone since there were no other teams working late and stood to look out of the window. I listened for anyone else and the building was silent.
I turned to face her, knowing that we had a few minutes before the food arrived. I stalked towards Soledad as she glanced up, taken aback by my strides. “Alex?” She asked as I dro
pped to the floor before her, kissing her hungrily. Her moan came out long and low as I slipped my arms around her neck to pull her closer to me. “What are you doing?” She asked softly, pulling away slightly.
“The food will be here in thirty minutes. I order from them a lot.” I told her before brushing my lips against hers. “I thought we could take a break.”
I slipped my hands down and up her bare thighs as she slipped her tongue against mine. I’d touched her everywhere, but we hadn’t been naked yet. It was always over clothes and if I was lucky, under them. My hands felt the edge of lace underwear and I groaned as I stroked her hot skin. I released one hand to pull her shirt out of the skirt, sliding it up her stomach and towards her full breast. I knew that her pink nipple would be hard for me and I cupped her over her bra. My hand that was under her skirt moved over her thigh and between her legs. “What if we get caught?” Soledad whispered as I traced the hot lace that covered her smooth folds.
“We’re the only ones here. Jack will get the food downstairs and call me.” I moved the material aside and stroked her, finding her wet for me. I kissed her neck as she dropped her head to the side, moaning my name. “Fuck, you feel so good.”
Soledad parted her legs for me and I touched her swollen clit, loving the whimper that came from her throat. My cock was aching inside of my pants and I dropped down and gripped her thighs with my hand. I reached up and pulled the underwear off as she jerked, balling them up as I inhaled her scent. Her eyes were wide and needy as I stared at her. I dropped the scrap of material to the floor and spread her legs wide as I moved my mouth under her skirt. I licked her firmly, tasting her for the first time as she gripped my hair. She was sweet like honey and I lapped at her like an animal that hadn’t had water in days. She moaned and tugged at my hair as I tugged her closer, sucking her clit between my lips. “I want you to come for me,” I told her before pressing against her again and stroking her with my tongue.
“Alex,” she groaned as she rocked against me. Her hand pulled hard at my hair as I drew her closer to the edge. I knew how close she was and teased her mercilessly before sucking her clit into my mouth. “Oh, God. I’m coming.”
She did, arching her back as I sucked her hard. I dragged my teeth against her as warmth washed over my lips, enjoying every drop. My phone rang, startling both of us. I moved to look at the desk as it continued to ring, knowing that it was about dinner. “I’m going to tell Jack that I’ll be right down to get it. Don’t put your clothes back on, Soledad.” I moved up and stared at her. I saw need in her eyes and knew that she was going to be mine. “In fact, get naked and go to my couch.”
I went to the desk and called Jack, assuring him I was on my way downstairs for dinner. I walked into my attached bathroom and fixed my hair as I glanced at my clothing. I was still dressed and grinned as I noted a messy curl in my hair. When I left the office to go to the elevator, I noticed that Soledad was standing by the couch as she looked around nervously. I pulled the door closed and strode through the empty halls, taking the car to the ground floor. Jack had the bag and assured me that the driver was taken care of, something he did for me often when I was working late. I slipped him enough money to double the cost and tip before thanking him and heading back to the elevator.
I walked back to my office and opened my door to see Soledad on the leather couch, bare to me. I let my eyes rove her body, taking in her pebbled nipples and legs draped open. I saw that she was feeling shy, but her need took over as she locked gazes with me. I dropped the bag on a table and closed and locked the door before walking over to her. “Touch yourself. Tell me how wet you are.”
“Alex,” she murmured as she slowly placed a hand between her thighs. She moved her fingers as her mouth formed an ‘o’, letting out a moan. I watched as she circled her clit, having found out how sensitive she was there quickly. “God, I’m drenched. I need you.”
“You want me to fuck you?” I asked as her eyes widened. They closed with desire as she nodded, and I reached into my pocket and drew out my wallet. I pulled out a condom as I looked her over, imagining my baby growing inside of her for a long moment.
What the fuck?
I stripped my clothes off as I watched her get off, knowing that she was close to coming. I slipped the latex over my hard, thick cock as she watched with hooded eyes. Her hand dropped away from her body as I stepped closer, holding the base as I dropped to the leather in front of her. I reached for her hand, sucking her juices from her fingers as I eased closer to her. “You want this?” I asked again as she stared silently at me before nodding. I moved, pressing inside of her as Soledad dropped her head back against the cushions.
She was tight, gripping me with her walls as I moved deeper. I moved my hands to draw her feet to my shoulders, hearing her cry out as I buried myself inside of her.
This wasn’t just a fuck in my office. I knew it meant more as I jerked back and then deep inside of her again. Her creamy breasts moved with the force of it as I watched, mesmerized by the sight before me. I began to rock harder, moving in and out as she rocked against me. “That’s it. Give yourself to me,” I urged her as I watched her head jerk with the motion of our fucking. “Come around my cock, Soledad.” She reached out, gripping my shoulder with one hand, and clawing at my chest with the nails of her other hand. I moved us over on the couch a couple of feet, so we were stable before I leaned over her, taking her hard.
“Alex, God. You feel so good.” Her eyes were closed as she dropped to her back. I watched as she cupped herself with one hand, pinching her nipple as her walls tightened around me. “Ahhhh.”
“Fuck.” She was tight and slick as I moved in, knowing I was close to coming. I jerked hard a few more times before I called out her name and shot inside of the condom. “Soledad,” I moaned as I gripped her thighs and felt her pulsing around me. “You feel so damn good.”
I stopped and dropped beside her on the wide couch, wrapping my hand over her waist. She had beautiful tits with firm nipples that I was going to taste a lot from here on. Her pussy was gold and she closed her eyes, breathing in deeply. “I just had sex with you and you’re my boss.” Her voice was low, but I heard the strain in it.
“That part about my being your boss doesn’t matter. We work more than we do anything else in here, Soledad. That moment has been building between us for a while.” I wasn’t sure how long we’d wait but every time we touched, I felt the heat growing between us.
“It has,” she admitted as I looked at her. “I didn’t know how long I could wait for you. It’s been a long time for me.” Soledad blushed as she glanced at me. “You were incredible.”
“You felt so good,” I told her as I moved to kiss her lips, then her shoulder. I moved my mouth over her body, sucking generously on each nipple. I felt her hands in my hair and her hot skin against mine as she moaned, finally turning me over as she asked for another condom.” Are you sure?”
“Yes. I need you again.” I grabbed another one, making a mental note to stock up my drawer here before rolling it on. I watched as she lifted her body and looked down before sliding over me. I jerked up, filling her as she cried out. Soledad pressed her hands to my chest and eased down, taking me in completely.
“Holy shit. You feel so fucking good,” I told her, letting my pleasure fill my voice. We started to move together, and I watched her tits bounce and her face twist. Slowly, I took control and fucked her as she let me, dropping over my chest as I gripped her hips tightly.
“Alex!” She called out as I felt her tighten again. This woman was so responsive as she came again, her moans filling the room as I drove myself into her a few more times. She dropped over me and I held her as our chests pressed together and my cock still deep inside of her pussy.
Eventually, we cleaned up and I reheated some of the food for us. I sensed that Soledad was feeling a bit strange about what happened between us, but it was done. It was incredible and something I wanted to do a lot more of. She went back to her devi
ce, carrying it to the couch as I joined her with my own laptop. She’d dressed enough to hide her body from me as we talked about ideas. I was surprised at how she seemed to settle back into working, impressed as I kept taking long looks at her.
We left at nine after getting a solid lead for the ad on the computer. My client wanted to see every step of the process and I felt good knowing I had something to show him. I drove Soledad home, refusing to let her take the bus and parked near her unit as I shut the engine off. “Are we okay?” She asked me as she looked over at me.
“We’re great,” I promised as she leaned over for a kiss. I returned it, our lips molding together as my cock hardened again. I needed to calm down. I was lucky to have had her twice tonight if it had been that long. “I’ll see you tomorrow morning.” I wanted to take her home with me and hold her all night, but it wasn’t that easy with Soledad. She had obligations. She kissed me one more time, giving me a warm look before she gathered her things and walked up to her door.
Chapter Seven
Soledad
I couldn’t sleep at all the week we had sex. I kept playing it back through my mind at night as I tried to drop off at night, but adrenaline rushed through my veins. Sex had never felt like that, not even with my ex when we created Lindsay. Of course, nothing was ever that good with him to begin with.
I drank a ton of coffee during the day at work to stay awake, even though the sight of Alex always perked me up in the best way. I went home at night giddy and spent it with Lindsay and Rosie, cooking and going over their day.
We kissed when we could in the office. I knew that it probably looked like he had more private meetings than ever before as we’d close the door and disappear to the couch. I slept with him in the bathroom, sitting on the counter once as he fucked me. We also did it in the shower once. It was so taboo and hot for me. I felt like two different people most of the time, wild and reckless at work and the dutiful mom at home. I loved both roles. I just couldn’t find a way to combine them quite yet. Alex didn’t seem to be dating anyone else since we were always together at the office and messaging a lot at night. I knew that he hung out with friends and could be sleeping with another woman or more, but he was always so eager to be with me. I had no idea how to handle any of this with my bad experiences from before.
