“Since I can’t hire you,” Evan starts while closing the gap between us, making my heart leap right up into my throat where it pounds heavily. “Can I hang out with you instead?”
I bite my tongue so I don’t make any silly comments about how hiring people hasn’t stopped him fooling around with women before. I don’t want to say anything petty like that because he really does seem to be done with Ally. That was just a sex thing anyway, according to Evan, and it seems that what we have something that runs much deeper. I don’t want to sound like I’m jealous. I might be just a little bit, but there’s no point in letting Evan know that.
“That sounds great, what’s the plan?” I lean into him a little and rest against his chest. “Any ideas of what you’d like to do?” I know what I want to do but I don’t want to be too forward. I peer up at Evan expectantly and wait for him to answer. “Since work is done?”
Evan’s arms circle my waist and he tugs me closer to him. With his hands on the small of my back I feel petite and precious. It’s a nice feeling that makes me shudder violently. There isn’t a damn person in the world that would be able to hold back if they felt the way I do now. This is some serious passion, it’s undeniable, I even think it would hold up in a court of law… or if it wouldn’t, it should. I haven’t ever understood crimes of passion before, not that I work in that area, but now I’m starting to realize that it’s possible to go so crazy from lust that you’d do absolutely anything.
With Evan looking at me like I’m beautiful, I feel so glad that I got up a little earlier today to make some effort with my appearance. It isn’t that I think I should be liked for my looks, I just feel better about myself. It’s amazing what I can find the time for when I have a solid motivation. I even managed to get make up on my face this morning. Maybe I’m not always that busy after all!
Without saying even another word, Evan brings that delicious mouth back down to mine and he kisses me passionately. The warmth of his lips parts mine and invite his tongue in. As he explores my mouth with his tongue, I do the same to him, while pushing myself up onto my tiptoes to deepen the kiss. There’s a pressure in my chest, a sensation that’s crying out for a release.
“Oh my God,” Evan groans as he moves his mouth towards my neck where he kisses and flicks his tongue all over my hypersensitive skin. “Katy, you are something else.”
I toss my head back and allow my hair to spill backwards. My eyes fall closed as Evan kisses me in places that I didn’t know I needed to be kissed until right now. His hands fist at the back of my blouse, undoubtedly creasing it badly, but for the first time ever I don’t mind about not looking smart and professional. I’m much too needy for that.
A sheen of sweat coats my skin as my entire body flames like a match has been lit underneath me. It gives me another reason to want every single item of my clothing off. I want to be naked, I want Evan to spread me across his desk to examine and explore every damn inch of me, but I don’t think that’s a good idea. Not when I’m not one hundred percent sure that the office is empty. It’s late so it should be and I haven’t heard anyone for a while, but I don’t want to get caught out in that embarrassing situation, just in case.
Just as I think I might lose my mind with lust, Evan hitches my skirt up around my waist and he picks me up. My legs automatically wrap around him as he carries me, which means I get a great feel of the thick erection he has waiting for me in his trousers. That’s a hardness that I’ve created with my lips alone and I feel possessive of it. I can’t wait to feel him inside me. I can’t help but notice how big he already feels… much larger than anyone I’ve ever had before. That fills me with a nervous excitement. I wonder how crazy he’ll make me.
Eventually Evan plonks my butt on his desk which causes my thighs to fall apart. He gets in between them so I can still feel him, then he grabs my cheeks to kiss me using his signature move. There’s a warm wetness in my panties, and if I don’t get my satisfaction soon, I might completely lose my shit and scream the damn building down.
“You are so sexy,” Evan mutters to me as his hands travel down my body. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to touch you.”
Probably not for as long as I’ve wanted to be touched, I think as he traces his fingers tantalizingly along my thighs, but I can’t find the words anywhere in my throat to speak. It’s almost as if my voice box has been cut off completely. Oh God, touch me more. Touch me everywhere!
Just as I think he’s going to slip his fingers into me, Evan drops to the floor and he moves his nose into my area. I can feel the tip of it brushing against me through the lace of my underwear which makes me want to cry out with sheer bliss. He hasn’t even really done anything to me yet and I’m buzzing, the anticipation is utterly intense. I have no idea how that’s going to feel when he takes that to the next level and he finally dips into me. I might just fall apart completely.
“I need these gone,” Evan growls as he hooks his fingers around the waistband of my underwear. “Is that cool with you?”
“Fuck yes,” I moan back. I need them gone too. They’re the only thing standing in the way of my sheer pleasure and I just can’t freaking wait. “Shred them from me.”
He takes my words a little too literally as he yanks them down so hard that I can hear a tearing sound, but I honestly don’t care. They could be in a million pieces and it wouldn’t make any difference to me… all I can focus on is Evan’s mouth which is slowly edging towards me. I can feel his breath teasing my entrance now and my hips buck towards him accordingly.
I grip my hands around the edge of the desk, trying to hold myself in place, and the moment that his tongue connects with my clit I’m glad. I leap up so hard from the incredible sensations that I would have fallen off if I wasn’t holding on.
“Oh shit.” Evan’s mouth is expert. He starts tracing the most phenomenal feeling patterns all over my clit that I’ve ever felt. My heart hammers hard, it rattles my rib cage as ragged breaths fall from my lips. I’m on top of the damn world. “Oh, Evan.”
My body rushes rapidly towards the massive pit of desire. A heat pools in my belly and threatens to spread right through me at any moment. I gasp, I grunt, I groan, all of which only encourages Evan to pick up the pace. I lose myself completely, any control that I had over myself is gone, I’ve given myself over to Evan totally and I honestly don’t mind. He’s making me feel so good that I’d let him have every single inch of me just to keep the sensation going…
But then, he completely stuns me by pulling away, just as I could feel myself tipping. I can feel myself wanting to scream out and protest but I can’t quite find the words. As Evan steps away from me, leaving me vulnerable and exposed, he pulls a condom from his pocket, so the anticipation strips any anger from me. This isn’t over, if anything it’s just beginning.
In what feels like mere seconds, Eve has pulled his throbbing cock free and I watch in awe as he rolls the latex over him. I was right to think that he’s big, he’s absolutely massive, I don’t know how I’m going to be able to take him all but I’m excited to find out.
“Come back here,” I groan once he’s ready for me. I’m aching for him so hard that I need to feel him. I’m pulsating hard against his desk and it’s starting to get uncomfortable. I need a sexual awakening, my body is screaming out for one. “I need you.”
As Evan slides his way into me, filling me up completely, a sense of calm overcomes me. This has been a long time coming and I just know that it’s going to feel awesome, which his hard, fast thrusts confirm. I’m already so close to the edge, he put me there with his tongue, so it isn’t long until the orgasm is absolutely shattering through me and I’m screaming so loud that I really do hope we’re the only people here…
Chapter Fifteen – Evan
That woman is too much, I think to myself with a smile on my face as I watch Katy work. She is absolutely awesome. I don’t know what I would do without her.
I don’t even just mean that professionally an
ymore, I mean it personally too. We might have only slept together only once a couple of days ago, but the memory is still very fresh in my mind. We’ve both just had lots to do which is why we haven’t had the chance again… I can’t wait until we do. The chemistry we share is stronger than ever and the knowledge that we have a sexual compatibility will only make it better. There’s always a risk with the first time of having sex with someone that it won’t be as good as you think it’s going to be… but that wasn’t the case with Katy. It was better.
“Are you okay?” I ask her cautiously. “You look a bit strung out?”
She looks more stressed than normal, and I have a feeling it isn’t anything to do with the stack of paper in her hands. She’s distracted, and I want to know why. Maybe it’ll even be me…
“Oh I’m sorry.” She shakes her head rapidly as if she’s trying to rid her brains of any thoughts. “I am a bit. I don’t mean to be and I don’t want it to affect any of my work…”
I gently put my hand on her arm to silence her before she gets into a full blown rant about whatever it is that’s bothering her. “Hey, it’s okay. You’re allowed to be stressed out about something other than my problems, you know? I know that’s what I’m paying you for, but I’m not a monster.”
She lets out a sound that I think is supposed to be a laugh, but it’s much too strangled for that. She can’t seem to pull off breezy while something is clearly going on with her. “I know, I just don’t like worrying about my own stuff when I’m on the clock.” She takes in a deep breath, then drops the bomb shell. “Grant has just messaged me and I think they’re going to announce the partner soon. I might have to get back to the office for it. If you don’t mind…”
My chest clenches at the mention of another man’s name, which I know is silly since I don’t really have any claim over Katy, but I force myself to get over it before I do something stupid and act like a jealous freak. That’ll put Katy off in a heart beat. Plus, I think I’m more interesting than Grant. I mean, he’s a nice enough guy but I do think I’m much better. I’m more fun, I haven’t got the same stick up my ass, and I’m sure I’m much better for Katy than he is. She needs someone like me. Someone who will bring her out of her lawyer shell, not box her further into it. I don’t see Grant as competition. I have a feeling that he might even have a girlfriend anyway so it’s fine.
“Do you want me to drive you over there? I mean, I know I can’t do much but I can wait outside for you…” I try to gauge her reaction but her stoic face gives away absolutely nothing. All I can see is sheer terror in her gaze, she’s really freaking out. “We can then celebrate or whatever.”
I don’t want to say anything about the possibility of her not getting the positon because I don’t want her to consider that while she’s in such a mess. I don’t think she’ll have to worry about it anyway, I feel absolutely certain this is what she deserves. She’s clearly a kick ass lawyer who works hard. I can’t see any reason why she wouldn’t get the position.
“You would give me a ride?” she asks curiously while looking around the room. “But you really don’t have to. And I’m sure there’s stuff you have to do here…”
“No of course I’ll take you. I want to take you. I could do with some time away from the office anyway.” I grab my car keys and shake them at her. “Shall we get going now?”
Her face pales, I can almost see all the color drain from her skin. I can’t keep away from her for even a second longer. I know that we’re technically on ‘work time’ right now but she needs a hug and I’m going to give her one. All I want to do is hold her, embrace her, make her feel a little better about her nerves. As I grab Katy and I press her against my chest I feel my heart swell with pride. It feels really good to be able to do something nice for someone else. Especially Katy.
“You do know that you’ll be fine, don’t you?” I tell her reassuringly. “You are pretty much guaranteed to get the job. You deserve it more than anyone else the way you work.”
“Well Grant works hard too,” Katy mutters into my chest. “And he’s my competition.”
“Urgh, Grant,” I growl with an eye roll. “Fucking Grant, there’s no way that he’s going to beat you. You kick ass. Grant is just… he’s Grant. You’re much better.”
Katy pulls back to look at me and she laughs lightly. “You’re crazy. Your support is epic, but yeah… you’re crazy. At least I’m not freaking out anymore though, so that’s something.” She pats both my arms and steps back. “I suppose we better get going now, I don’t want to put off the inevitable. I have to face this sooner or later and I’ve been waiting for this for ages.” She sucks in a couple of deep breaths. “Let’s go. If we don’t leave now I might get back to freaking out…”
I follow her to the elevator, admiring her strength as she goes. This must be terrifying for her, it seems like she’s been working towards it for ages, and now she’s going to face that. I’m glad I can be there with her if she needs me for support. Either way, I’m going to be there for her…
***
I tap the steering wheel of my car impatiently, while glancing towards the law office again. I don’t know what the hell is going on, Katy has been in there for what feels like forever, and the anticipation is killing me. It’s actually tearing me up inside and making me feel all messy. I just want to know what life changing stuff is going on inside those four walls, and the fact that I have absolutely no control over it hurts me. It’s an actual pain in my chest.
I don’t usually care about what goes on in any other business, but today I do. I really do.
I grab my cell phone and scroll through the Internet once more, looking at my emails, my social media, random websites that don’t really tell me anything. I’m just trying to distract myself, but it’s not really working. I can’t think about anything but her. God, I wish she was by my side right now…
The next time I scan my eyes towards the building, I see the shadow of a woman coming out of the building. She’s hunched over, surrounded in sadness, and my heart absolutely bleeds for her. Everything hammers and shudders inside of me as I realize that this is Katy and she must not have gotten the job. The idiots at Harrison and Associates must have chosen Grant over her which is mind blowing. It makes me want to scream with frustration… but I won’t because this isn’t about me. This is about Katy and all I need is to be there for her.
I leap out of the car and race over to her to throw my arms around her, but before I can make any sort of contact with her, she looks up to me, her eyes swimming with tears and she whispers the words I was least expecting. “I got it.”
Well, the words aren’t shocking in themselves, they’re exactly what I thought she was going to say when I spent all that time in the car waiting for her, it’s the fact that she really doesn’t seem happy when she’s telling me those words. This is something that she’s been working towards for ages, and now she isn’t happy to get it. It doesn’t make any sense to me.
“You… you got it?” I ask her curiously. I wrap my arm around her shoulder and guide her back towards the car. “So, that’s awesome, isn’t it? That’s what you’ve wanted, am I right?”
“I don’t know,” she whispers while shaking her head. “I don’t know what I want anymore.”
I don’t say anything else until she’s safely locked away in the car because it seems to me that she’s having some sort of breakdown. I don’t want to get in the middle of that while we’re out in public for everyone to see. This is something that needs to be dealt with in private so she can really process what’s just happened. She sits in her seat and straps herself in, then I pull the car out onto the road and I drive her away from the office to give her a bit of clearly much needed head space.
“I don’t know what just happened!” she explodes before I get the chance to speak again. “I can’t believe that, I just freaked.” She twists in her seat to stare at me with wild, panicked eyes. “They announced it, they told me that I’m the one going to be mad
e a partner and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I think I might have just had a panic attack in there, in front of everyone.” I can’t see it, I can’t imagine Katy falling apart like that, she’s such a strong and confident woman. “I couldn’t breathe at all and then I told them that I would think about it.” She clasps her hand to her forehead in shock. “They offered me the job I’ve always wanted and I told them that I would think about it. I don’t think anyone has ever told a law firm that they would need to think about being made partner. Am I crazy? Have I gone insane? I just don’t know anymore.”
“Okay, breathe,” I command firstly. “I’m sure it isn’t that bad at all. I’m sure you aren’t the first person to need to think about a promotion.” I haven’t ever heard of it, but now isn’t the time to discuss that. “But… why do you think you might be struggling with this decision?” I really need to get into her head and work out her mind set before I attempt to give any advice.
“I don’t know,” she whines while her head rolls to one side. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I do want the job but at the same time I just… I don’t think I’m going to like it as much as I think I might. I think… I’ve told my best friend for years that everything will be better once I’m partner everything will be better. I’ve told myself that I’ll have much more time then and I’ll be able to get my life back… but I really don’t think that’s the case at all. I just don’t know that sticking with being a lawyer is ever going to let me have a life.”
“You’re… thinking about leaving it all behind?” That would be a shame because she’s amazing at her job, but I understand her point of view. The life of a lawyer is a lonely one.
“I don’t know because I don’t know what else I can do, you know. Being a lawyer is all I know.”
I rest one hand on her leg in what I hope is a reassuring gesture. “You just take some time and really think about it. It’s the most important decision that you’ll ever make, so take as long as you need.”
