“I can if you want?”
“No, you need sleep because the next four are going to be hectic. I need to in tiptop condition.”
“I’ll be fine Mr. Lockwood.”
He glared at her. “Grayson.”
Angel’s eyes widened. “I thought we weren’t going to be on a first name basis.”
He shrugged. “I’m the boss; I reserve the right to change my mind. You were right, let’s drop the formalities. I’m already too far interested anyways.”
“Oh, well okay then Grayson.”
Heat flared in his eyes, and Angel couldn’t hold back her smile. It was nice to know she affected him. It shouldn’t make her happy but it did. She’d admit he was hot, hotter than hot actually, but she knew she shouldn’t go there. Grayson Lockwood wasn’t the type to settle, and she wouldn’t settle for anything less than it all. She wanted everything, not just some dirty office affair, and as much as she thought it would be the perfect way to break into the world of intimacy, she wasn’t sure if she could do it. She had no doubt he would be a fabulous lover. He was a man who knew what he was doing. She found she liked the little vulnerabilities she’d seen though. It was as if they were meant just for her.
* * * *
Dinner was done, and all the calls were made. She’d just hung up with his last client when he came in and plopped in the other chair. His tie was loose around his neck and the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up his forearm making him appear rugged. He looked good. The scent of his cologne rolled over her and she closed her eyes. She wasn’t used to her body feeling so alive. That tingle between her thighs was becoming rather annoying.
“This day was shit. I’m sorry you’re first day turned out this way.”
“It’s fine, I do well with hectic.”
“I’m done for the night and so are you. Go home and get rest, and I’ll be at your house to get you early.”
Angel stood and stretched. She didn’t miss the way Grayson’s eyes scanned her body. All day she couldn’t get out of her mind how good his back felt under her hands. She was beginning to cave to her desires and for the first time in her life as much as she wanted this job she was aching for something else more. She’d always been responsible, but with the way he looked at her she was oh so tempted to break her rules.
His eyes narrowed in on her as if he sensed her walls crumbling. When she licked her lips he groaned and in two strides was in front of her pulling her against him as he leaned down to kiss her. She closed her eyes and fell into his kiss. His lips were warm and soft, and she moaned when his tongue slid into her mouth. Electric, that’s what it felt like when his tongue touched hers.
He lifted her off the ground and sat her on the empty space of her desk and squeezed between her parted legs. A large hand cupped her jaw and his thumb grazed it gently. It was such a sweet gesture that only aroused her more. Running her hands up his chest she tugged at the buttons of his shirt. They easily came undone and then she was shoving it off of his broad shoulders. Beneath the shirt was a thin tank that she ripped from his pants and then her hands slid greedily up his muscular abdomen and caressed his chest. He shivered and shrugged out of his shirt and then pulled the tank off over his head tossing it to the floor.
“I want you,” he said and then kissed a path along her jaw and down her neck.
She moaned when his teeth grazed her flesh and shuddered. His fingers fumbled with her shirt and she leaned back watching as he undressed her. Was she really going to do this? Give her virginity to her boss, on the first day of her new job, and in the office no less? Angel was more responsible than that, and maybe that was the problem. She’d spent most of her life being relied on. With her mother’s illness her four brothers relied on her all the time regardless of the fact that she was the youngest. Everyone knew Angel would handle it. It was the reason why she was the only one looking for a way to pay her mother’s medical bills. Maybe this was her reprieve from real life?
Her shirt came loose and she was clad in her red silky bra. Grayson’s eyes lingered on the tips of her nipples poking through the thin fabric. But he didn’t linger long before his mouth covered the silk and sucked a nipple through. The satin became wet and warm and she arched her breast into his mouth begging for more. They were large and he cupped the bottom with his large hand holding her in place as he sucked and nibbled. But she wanted to feel his tongue on her flesh. She shoved him back roughly and he glared until she reached behind her back and undid her bra sliding the straps down her arms freeing herself in front of him.
Grayson licked his lips and wasted no time before his mouth was on her dark tip sucking and licking like he couldn’t stop himself. His other hand rubbed and massaged her other breast and then he licked a path between them and pulled back. “You’re beautiful Angel.”
She shook her head blushing. He kissed her slowly sensually, and she felt the beginning of something big building between her legs. She’d taken care of her own needs, but this was stronger than anything she’d felt before. She gasped and rubbed against his body. His hardness felt wonderful and the friction only caused more to ache. When he pulled back he unbuckled his belt and in two seconds his pants were off and he stood naked. Her boss went commando.
Her eyes widened at the size of his cock, and before she knew it she blurted out her secret. “I’m a virgin!”
He froze and stepped back breathing heavily. His erection grew, and she wondered if the thought of her being innocent turned him on more. It certainly seemed that way.
Chapter Six
She was a virgin. A part of me knew I needed to put my clothes back on and not even think about going there. She was young and never been touched. Inside I raged with a need to be the first—and the last inside her tight body. I shook my head fully aware that I had lost my god damn mind.
But she stood from the desk and then her pants were slid seductively down her thick thighs. She was curvy and sexy and everything I’d never even known I wanted. When her red thin panties followed I nearly swallowed my tongue. Her body, though not thin like I normally had, was rounded did nothing to discourage my raging hard on. If anything I was harder than I’d ever been.
“Does that scare you Grayson?” She taunted me.
“Fuck,” I said. It’s all I could say as I watched her hop back on her desk and spread her legs wide for me.
“Just be gentle.”
I dropped to my knees unable to resist and crawled to her. Me, Grayson Lockwood was dropped to my knees by a 22 year old virgin that had done everything she could to shake me, and break me. I wanted her, wanted to please her more than I had ever wanted before. She was my new weakness. Her eyes widened as I crawled in front of her glistening pussy. She was drenched and I couldn’t wait to taste her. What the hell? I didn’t go down on women. I didn’t care about their pleasure, not really. But I realized Angel was different as I locked my lips around her pussy. She arched into my mouth and I braced my hands on her thighs as I licked her out. She tasted like heaven, and I devoured her with my tongue the way I wanted to with my dick.
She moaned and then she did the best thing ever. Her tiny hand gripped my hair holding my face against her. The demand was there. She was forcing me to pleasure her and my heart skipped a beat. I wanted to do whatever she wanted. I was hers to command. Desire raged through my body and I sped up quickly tasting her and continued. Lick, nibble, suck, and repeat over and over again until she screamed my name. When she was a quivering mess I stood wiping my mouth before I dragged her to the floor. She was limp and sprawled out from her orgasm. I scanned her body with a thrill I hadn’t felt since before. My heart raced and I felt emotions building, and for once I didn’t fear them. She wasn’t like her, and even though I barely knew the woman who laid sprawled before me, I knew she wanted me like I wanted her; even if she hadn’t come out and said it. Here body language said it all. This was more than a good fuck. I’d be making love to her—now.
I slid my body over hers enjoying the feel of her
soft skin against mine. I loved that she wasn’t all skin and bones. I looked into her eyes and smiled. This woman was mine. I could have everything I wanted and Angel James wouldn’t go anywhere without me now. I couldn’t wait to have her to myself for four days in a hotel. Work and play. Life just got better.
“I’ll be careful, but it’s going to hurt.”
“I know. I’m a virgin not stupid.”
I kissed her lips quick. “Sassy woman.”
“Take it or leave it.”
“I’ll take it baby.” Then as I slowly eased inside I watched her face paying attention to any sort of discomfort. She was fine at first, but then she tensed. I knew I was close then. “Deep breaths.”
Her eyes filled with tears as I tore through her hymn, and my heart clenched. She cried out and her body locked up. “I’m sorry Angel.”
She bit her lip nodding. “I don’t fucking cry dammit.”
I kissed her and at first she stayed tense, but after a few seconds she let go and closed her eyes kissing me back. Her hand slid through my hair before she interlaced her hands around my neck. The feel of her beasts against my chest and the feel of her inner muscles contracting around me had me so close. I hadn’t even moved yet and I was about to lose it. It was ridiculous. When her legs loosened and the rest of her body calmed down I pulled out to my tip and then pushed back in slowly.
She gasped and pulled back from our kiss. When she opened her eyes I locked gazes with her. She was beautiful. Her cheeks were flushed and her lips were red from my kisses. Her eyes were relaxed, dilated with lust that matched my own. I took her on the floor, and she met every thrust and when I came she did too. It was the single best moment of my life, and I was a goner.
Chapter Seven
Angel couldn’t decide if she was stupid or not. She’d just given her virginity to her boss. After so long of never finding a man attractive she gave into him easy. Was she ashamed? Maybe. Did she regret it? No. Would she do it again? Not sure. So many emotions ran through her mind, and she wondered if this was how all women felt when they lost their innocence.
Grayson lay next to her and watched her silently. He seemed to be observing her waiting for something. What she wasn’t sure. Hell, she wasn’t sure what she felt. She ached, but it was nothing she couldn’t ignore. At least while she was on the floor. Standing up would probably be another story. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes seemed to be begging her to speak, but she couldn’t.
Angel was levelheaded, she always thought things through, but this—this she didn’t. She sat up and stood slowly cringing when the full effect of having him tear into her kicked in. Her body throbbed and she was wobbly. She reached out and braced her hand on the desk and whimpered. Grayson stood and went to touch her but she recoiled. She didn’t miss the hurt that clouded his pale green eyes.
“I’m fine; I just need to get cleaned up.” Her voice was tense, and she prayed she’d make it to the bathroom before she broke down into tears.
“Let me help you baby,” he said and there was a catch in his voice.
She nodded and gripped his arm as he led her to the bathroom. Then he went and got all of her clothes bringing them to her.
“Can I get you anything else?”
“Nope, I just need to be alone now.”
He nodded but was clearly unhappy. “Okay I’ll be in my office just holler if you need me.”
Angel felt bad. She wasn’t angry with him. He was gentle and he was caring. She was unsure, and she was in pain. She locked the door and slid against it to the floor ignoring the pain that tore through her body. Sobs wracked her body, and she did her best to be silent knowing he’d hear her.
“Buck up Angel,” she whispered to herself and then pulled herself off of the ground. She was stronger than that. Taking slow steps she took care of business and gingerly slid her panties back on and got dressed. There wasn’t much she could do until she got home, but she wanted to clean up her tears. It was bad enough she cried, but she didn’t like the puffy red eyes.
She also didn’t want to make him feel worse. She got lucky. A lot of men wouldn’t have been that sweet, and she could tell how hard it was for him to take it slow with her. As if he was so aroused he wanted to drive into her. He could have very easily taken to his pleasure only, but he made sure she enjoyed it, and in truth once the pain went away for that few minutes she had enjoyed it, very much. It was the after that wasn’t so fun.
Angel composed herself and smiled. She was not a virgin anymore. She walked out of the bathroom and grimaced, but covered it up before she stepped into Grayson’s office. He looked at her frowning.
“Are you feeling any better?”
“I’m okay really. A good night’s sleep and I’ll be as good as new.”
He didn’t seem convinced, but let it go. “Well let’s get you home. I’ll walk you to your car.”
She nodded and smiled. He was sweet. Sweeter than what she had heard about him, and sweeter than the interview. He didn’t seem so intimidating anymore. She couldn’t help but stare. He was attractive, even more attractive to her now. He guided her out of the office and the feel of his hand on her back reminded her of his touch. She’d really liked his touch.
The office was dark and silent. Everyone had left hours before. She hadn’t even gotten to meet anyone or venture out into the big open area. Grayson opened the door leading her out into the dimly lit parking lot. Her car and his were the only two left and the sound of her heels clicking on the cement echoed loudly in her ears. She pulled her keys out and opened her door.
Grayson stepped back and shoved his hands into his pockets. He watched her and she sighed. He looked terrible. He was a man; shouldn’t he be happy he had gotten off? So far he proved to be different than any man she’d ever met, and he contradicted his reputation.
She stepped in front up him and tipped her head back. “Kiss me.”
His eyes lit and a small smile curved his lips as he leaned in brushing his lips on hers in a soft gentle kiss, but before he was able to pull back Angel stood on the tips off her toes and held him in place as she deepened the kiss. She wanted to show him she was all right. She took the lead and let all her built up passion out. Passion she wasn’t even aware she had. He moaned when she sucked his lip before tangling her tongue with his.
Then he backed her against her car and the tension from his body released. It was almost as if he was worried that she was angry. He seemed too subdued, and it broke her heart. He pulled back and his brows creased. “You’re okay?”
“Yes, I told you I was.” She replied and pecked his lips. “I better go so I get at least a few hours of sleep. I still have to pack.”
Grayson surprised her again by hugging her body to his. He wrapped his arms around her and held her. “Good night baby. I’ll see you in the morning.”
Angel nodded and nibbled her lip. He seemed totally at ease now and that was strange. Was what happened something more than a small office thing? The even bigger question, did she want it to be?
Chapter Eight
The next morning Angel waited outside of her house so she didn’t have to deal with the twins’ machoism. They knew immediately something was different with her, and as per normal they beat their chests vowing to kill the man who deflowered their baby sister. She laughed and shook her head smacking them both. Then she kindly reminded them she was a grown ass woman and even though it was sweet, she was more than capable of taking care of herself. They grumbled and growled over her being so unappreciative of their loyalty. She sent them to their rooms pouting. It was quite great.
She smiled thinking about the night before. Now that she woke up in barely any pain she could think about things differently. She really liked him, and she planned to take these four days to get to know him. If she was going to be sleeping with him she would insist on knowing him.
The car pulled up right on time and she stood and picked her bags up. Grayson jumped out and frowned. “At least let me try to be a
gentleman.”
She beamed and her cheeks tightened from smiling too much. Oh hell, she was one of those girls. She never thought the day would come that she would be giddy over something a man did. She swore she never would be. Apparently sex changed things.
“Morning,” she said and handed her bags to him. When he would have walked away she yanked him back and tipped her head back.
He got the hint and kissed her. She felt his smile against her lips. “I can’t get over this. I haven’t smiled this much in so long. There’s something about you Angel James.”
She kissed him again and nodded. “I feel it too.”
He eyed her cautiously, hopeful. “You do?”
“Yes, it’s early, but I look forward to getting to know you.”
“Me too. I was worried you wouldn’t like me so much today.”
She leaned into him as they walked to his car. “I think I like you better than before.”
“Good to hear baby. Now get your ass into the car so we can get on the road. We’ve got a long drive and a lot to do.”
She nodded and waited for him to open her door before climbing in. It felt like she was going away on a trip with her boyfriend rather than going on a business trip with her boss. She worried her lip wondering how it would work. She knew how to be professional of course, but she wasn’t sure how it would work. When he got in the car he glanced at her and sighed.
“Keep it professional during business and then the rest of the time touch me any way you desire.”
“How’d you know what I was thinking?”
“I guessed, because it was the same thing I was thinking. It’s going to be damn hard to keep my hands off of you though.”
“I’m sure you’ll survive Grayson,” she replied.
He nodded but was clearly unhappy with the restrictions he had to set. She got it, she laid her hand on his thigh and wondered how long they’d be able to keep their new relationship quiet, and what would happen when it came out. Because now that she had him she wasn’t sure she would want things to end. She’d find a new job if she had to. Finally Angel found something she was willing to be selfish about, and didn’t feel one ounce of shame.
