14. Cameron #2
I snapped a photo of him, then dictated a message into my phone to the security teams at all branches of the store, nationwide, saying that the man in the picture was never to be allowed entry into any Veritique under any circumstances.
“Aaaand send,” I said, tapping on my phone which let out a swooshing sound as the email went out.
“You can go now,” I said, waving Steve off.
“We’re done with you. Glen can see you out. ”
He left the room muttering under his breath with a sheepish-looking Glen following behind him.
I cleared my throat as I turned back to the team.
“I apologize for getting loud just then. It’s probably obvious to you that I didn’t think Mr. Brudny was a fit for our organization in many ways.
I don’t want to go into the details, but suffice it to say that my decision is final.
I’m sure we have many other potential candidates who better exemplify the Veritique core values. Let’s move on.”
The meeting continued for another forty minutes as if nothing had happened.
I could feel Felicity watching me, but I couldn’t bring myself to meet her gaze.
Would she think I had overstepped? She’d stopped me before from retaliating against her piece-of-shit ex.
Maybe I’d crossed a line. But how could I have done nothing when I saw how she reacted to just the sight of him?
The asshole was lucky he hadn’t gotten punched.
Once back in my office, I tried to focus on the mountain of work I needed to tackle, but my mind kept drifting back to Felicity’s broken expression when Steven taunted her.
I needed to see her.
My door swung open right as I slapped my laptop closed. It was like she’d been summoned by my thoughts.
“Felicity…I was just coming to see you—”
She nearly jogged to me, her eyes trained on my mouth. She crashed into me forcefully enough that it got a wunf of surprise out of me, and the next thing I knew, her lips were pressed against mine.
If the kiss outside her apartment was good, this one was legendary.
She kissed me in a frenzy, like her pent-up emotions from the last hour were all fighting to the surface at once.
I, meanwhile, was lightheaded with relief.
I wrapped my arms around her, hoping she could tell that I would always, always fight for her.
Her tongue darted along my lip, a brief experimental flick that nearly got a groan out of me. So much for the contract. I let my hands drop to caress the curve of her hips, then down to her ass, to bring her even closer to me.
Fuck, she tasted sweet.
“Thank you,” she murmured as our mouths melded. “Thank you for…for standing up for me.”
Speaking the words made her even hungrier. Her hands slid up and threaded through my hair, sending a wave of electricity down my back.
I needed more. I picked her up and slid her skirt up her thighs so she could wrap her legs around my waist. Our kiss deepened as I lowered myself onto the nearby couch. Felicity wound up straddling me. She ground against me and let out a little whimper.
I ran my hands along the tops of her thighs as our tongues teased back and forth. Her skin…Felicity felt like she was made of silk. She arched her chest against mine, pressing her breasts against me.
I was now rock hard.
“I want you,” I whispered into her ear. I paused to kiss her there and she giggled.
“Cameron, I want you too,” her voice hitched as I put my hands on her hips and pulled her against the swell in my pants. “But not here. We can’t.”
“Why not? This couch is nice and strong.”
She laughed again as I kissed the hollow of her throat. “Someone could come in.”
“Let them watch,” I insisted. “They might learn something.”
Our mouths found their way back together, and we kissed as I raised Felicity’s skirt inch by tantalizing inch.
Oh, the things I was going to do to her.
I pictured letting her ride me on the couch, then bending her over my desk and taking her from behind, so I could squeeze that perfect ass of hers as I had her. How many times could I make her come?
Then it hit me. I wanted to take my time with her.
Explore every hidden inch of her, with my hands, my tongue, and of course, my cock.
As much as I wanted to shove her panties to the side and plunge inside her right now, I knew it would have to end too soon.
The phone could ring at any moment, or we could be interrupted by an impatient knock at the door while my mouth was anchored between her legs.
I pulled away. “Do you have plans tonight?”
Her eyes were shining and her chest was heaving as if she’d just finished a sprint. And that mouth of hers…that full bottom lip swollen even fuller by our kissing.
Felicity shook her head wordlessly.
“Come up to my place. I don’t want a single interruption the first time I fuck you.”
She inhaled sharply hearing me say exactly what we were both thinking. She ground against me and leaned closer to whisper in my ear.
“I don’t want to stop.”
The rhythm against my cock nearly destroyed my resolve, but I wasn’t about to let it get the best of me. We both knew it’d be worth the wait.
Her hands were clasped behind my neck, so I reached up to gather them in mine, clutching them between us like I had her in handcuffs.
“Let’s make a deal; if we stop now, we won’t have to tonight.” I pulled her closer so I could whisper in her ear. “I’m going to fuck you. All. Night. Long.”
She closed her eyes and let out a shuddery sigh.
“Maybe I’ll let you sleep after you’ve had your third orgasm, but only for a little while. Then I’ll wake you up with my tongue between your legs, and we’ll begin again.”
Felicity sucked in a breath at the thought of it.
“Deal,” she murmured.
