Pushing through the door that led to the firm’s offices,
Simon spotted Emily walking toward him, looking pretty—and a bit tipsy from
wine consumption. “There are no bathrooms back here,” she said, motioning
vaguely over her shoulder as a short giggle escaped her.
He couldn’t help smiling. “No, sugarplum. But look
what’s right here.”
He moved forward to meet her next to Dana’s office doorway,
where a sprig of greenery and white berries hung. Emily glanced up. “Is
that mistletoe or something?”
He gave her a playfully scolding look. “Of course it’s
mistletoe. Do you mean to tell me you’ve never seen mistletoe before?”
“I guess not.”
“Well, you at least know what it’s for, I hope.”
She nodded invitingly. One thing about Emily—she might
not like sex, but she loved to kiss.
At that, Simon slid his arms around her waist and
stepped up close to her.
“Is that a Christmas present in your pocket or are you
just happy to see me?”
He laughed, but gazing down into her eyes turned him
serious just as fast. “The latter.”
“Mmm,” she purred as he molded
his mouth to hers, easing his tongue inside. Her arms curved around his
neck as their bodies settled closer together, his erection pressing to the
juncture of her thighs.
One kiss turned into two, then more, as their tongues
lazily sparred. He kneaded her hips, then her sweet round ass full in his
palms, and wondered if she could feel his cock getting harder and harder
against her. He’d been so damn aroused all evening, all week—hell, for the
last three years—that he wanted her madly, wanted to make his little office
party fantasy come true here in the privacy of the hallway.
Would she let him? Or would she bring their passion to a
grinding halt as usual? Only one way to find out.
He let his kisses drop to the pale expanse of her neck,
pleased when she leaned her head to one side, offering him easier access.
“So pretty, my girl,” he breathed in her ear. “Hot and beautiful. You make
me the envy of every man here.”
She bit her lip, turning to gaze up into his eyes.
“Really?”
He nodded. “You’re a gorgeous woman, Em.
And I’m a lucky, lucky man.”
And if there’s any justice in the world,
I’m about to get luckier.
