Sara knocks on my open office door.
“Come in.”
She walks in and closes the door behind her. “Theo from Morrigan Technology Group is coming to have a look at the email Tom sent. Can I put him in the conference room?”
I tip back in my chair and look her over. She’s a little less put together than when I last saw her. I wouldn’t be surprised if Finn found her and ravished her. Am I curious? Yes, but I need to focus on work and what she’s asking me.
Morrigan Technology Group is a cybersecurity organization.
“Are you worried it wasn’t from Tom? Or hoping to find out where he is?”
“Either? Both?” She shrugs and shakes her head. “It would be nice to know what we’re up against. Theo is a great hacker. He might be able to find out more about what Tom was into if we give him access to Tom’s files.”
“Not a bad idea.” Maybe I would have thought of it if I hadn’t been so busy trying to get under Sara’s skirt. “Tom took his laptop with him, but his cloud storage is accessible. He has a private server too.”
“Theo is supposed to be here in about thirty minutes. Do you want to talk to him?” She’s nervous, almost buzzing like a hummingbird. She fiddles with her fingers and shifts from foot to foot.
“Yeah, I can do that.” I straighten in my chair. “Are you okay, pip? Do you need some time off?” I hate to say it, but we’re a lot. “Or some time off from all of us?”
“What? No.” Her eyes widen and she steps closer. “No. I’m good. I just feel a little…”
She shrugs. Maybe all of this is getting to her. The stress of Tom missing. The break-in. The juggling four guys.
“Maybe you should sleep in your own room tonight, pip.” It’s a suggestion that’s hard to get out. I want her in my bed tonight. To fuck her slowly with no one else around and watch her fall apart with me buried deep inside her.
She shakes her head. “I don’t want that.
I want to spend all my time with you guys while I have you.
I’ll have plenty of opportunities to sleep alone.
I just…” She draws in a breath and steps even closer to my desk.
“I don’t know what I want. Everything that’s happening is a lot, but I’m dealing with it. Tom—”
She cuts herself off and blows out a breath, composing herself.
“Tom does what he wants,” I supply. “He always has. But this time, he dragged you into it. I’m sorry about that, pip.”
Though, to be fair, I’m not all that sorry. If he hadn’t left her in our care, we never would’ve taken the gamble to explore this attraction between us. I would’ve never caught her masturbating. Fuck, maybe I need to reexplore that.
She nods and glances back at the door. “Can I—?”
“What, pip?” My cock has been hard since she showed up in my office. But now isn’t the time to take advantage of her. We have work to do.
When she turns, her green eyes focus on mine. “Can I sleep with you tonight?”
My blood rushes to other parts of me. “Of course.”
She smiles and some of that tension eases out of her. “Good.”
Fuck, if I don’t get her out of my office, I’ll have her on my desk and neither of us will get work done.
“You said thirty minutes?”
She blinks like I pulled her out of her thoughts. “Yes, Theo will be here.”
We could do a lot in thirty minutes. Fuck, she’s too much of a temptation. “We should get back to work before he arrives then.”
I don’t miss the disappointment in her eyes as she nods. “See you in thirty.”
Theo Irving is a tall black man with cornrows. His dark eyes take in everything as we show him to the conference room.
“Everything we tell you is confidential.” I guide Sara to the opposite side of the conference table to sit beside me.
Theo nods as he gets settled. “Of course. Noah said you need to find out if an email is legit?”
Sara glances at me. I give her a brief nod for her to go ahead. Theo doesn’t miss it.
“My brother Tom left and hasn’t been in contact. The only thing Tom replied to is a message from my mom. His reply is short and doesn’t give anything away, but I just want to know it’s actually from Tom. Maybe you can see where he sent it from?”
“Maybe.” Theo opens his laptop and types something. “I need your email address, and your password would be helpful but not necessary.”
He passes her a notebook and she grabs a pen to write down the information.
I clear my throat and Theo’s gaze rests on me.
“Tom was working on clients but didn’t add them to our main system.
We were hoping to extend your services to include a thorough scan of his cloud network and what files we’re able to locate.
And if his computer is available to access.
” I glance at Sara as she pushes the notebook back to Theo.
“We’d compensate for your time, of course. ”
Theo nods. “I’ll check the schedule and confirm with Cooper, but it should be feasible.”
“I’ll get you whatever information you need.”
“Let me track the email first and then I’ll get you a list of what I might need,” Theo says.
Maybe he’ll have better luck tracking down Tom.
By the end of the day, Theo doesn’t have anything new for us, but he has an engagement letter from Morrigan for agreed-upon work. After I sign it, he gives me a list of what he needs and lets me know he’ll be back in the morning.
The car ride home is quiet. I need to figure out what files I need to give Theo. Once we have actual access, we might be able to figure out what Tom is into and how to get him out of it. He may sometimes be an asshole but he’s still my friend.
As soon as we walk into the apartment after work, Sara puts her purse on the table. When she turns to Wyatt, she slowly unbuttons her shirt, holding his gaze. Grinning, Finn leans against the door with his arms crossed. Wyatt shakes his head but his lips curve into a smile.
I managed to not maul her at work or even on the car ride home, but now that we’re home, I don’t know that I’ll be able to suppress my urges.
She removes her shirt and drapes it over the back of a kitchen chair. Her pale skin makes my mouth water. Holding on to the chair, she takes off her shoes and places them next to the door with ours. Then she reaches for the zipper on her skirt, turning her back to us.
She slides it over her bare hips— Fuck, when did she lose those panties? Did she have them when she was in my office? When she bends at the waist, we all inhale sharply at her bare pussy on display for us. I adjust my hard cock. After hanging her skirt with her blouse, she takes her bra off.
She’s beautiful as she stands defiantly in front of Wyatt. This is what he wanted. Her to strip as soon as she came through the door.
“Good, sir?” She puts her hands on her hips.
“Yes, trouble.”
She winks at him, gathers her clothes, and heads into her bedroom. Fuck. I’m going to end up shirtless again. I won’t be able to focus without fucking her.
“That’s going to be dangerous.” I gesture to where she disappeared.
“I like it.” Finn grins as he opens the fridge and pulls out food for dinner.
“As long as she behaves, we’ll go back to just no panties soon.” Wyatt groans as she comes out of her room. Every inch of her delectable skin exposed.
When he stalks over to her, she holds her ground. Peabody barks and then growls at Wyatt.
“Someone tame the furball.” Wyatt glares down at Peabody.
She shrugs casually. “I’d take him for a walk, but…”
She gestures down at her naked body. Wyatt’s eyes follow her hands.
“I’ve got Peabody.” Finn sighs and grabs his leash. “Walk?”
Peabody’s ears perk up and he turns to look at Finn, seemingly torn between ripping off Wyatt’s leg or going on a walk.
“Go on, Peabody.” Sara doesn’t shift her gaze from Wyatt’s.
Peabody huffs and trots to Finn. Once the door is shut, Wyatt steps toward Sara. She backs away with a small grin playing on her lips. Her gaze darts to mine.
Yeah, definitely dangerous. My erection presses against the zipper of my pants. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way about a woman. The constant craving. The impulsive need. I barely stopped myself from taking her in my office earlier.
I don’t think I would have found the will to stop if I’d known she didn’t have on panties.
When her back hits the wall, she releases a little breath and puts her hands up. Maybe to ward off Wyatt, but he grabs both hands and presses them against the wall.
They appear to have worked through the fundraiser issue. Which is good. Tension in the group would be bad. It would hurt all of us.
When he dips his head to rub his stubble against her jaw, she gasps.
Her darkening pale green eyes seek me out. Her lips part in invitation.
“Dante.” My name is little more than a sigh on her lips.
I don’t mind watching but I’d rather participate. I stalk forward.
“How do you want to play, pip?” I tip her chin up so she meets my eyes.
She wets her lips as Wyatt trails kisses over her collarbone. “Both of you.”
Wyatt sucks on her collarbone, leaving his mark on her. He growls low in his throat. “I want her ass.”
She trembles against him. He steps back and his dark eyes find mine.
“I’ll get what we need.” He storms into his room.
Her gaze trails him and a shiver races through her.
“Cold, pip.” I close in on her front, skimming the backs of my fingers against her stomach.
She meets my eyes and shakes her head. “No, boss.”
I drag my fingers higher, teasing the underside of her breasts. Her nipples are hard peaks, begging to be sucked. She reaches for my belt.
“Hands on the wall, pip.”
Her green eyes lift to mine but she does as I ask, pressing her hands against the wall.
“Do you know how hard it is to keep my hands off you in the office?” I cup her breasts in my hands and she gasps.
“How hard, boss?”
Ignoring her question, I rub my thumbs around her nipples. I lower my head so my lips are against her ear. “Tonight, I want to take you slowly. Everywhere. I want your scent to linger on my sheets for days after. Your legs will shake when I finally let you out of my bed.”
