Chapter 19 - Miles
Miles
“Everything okay?” I asked when she appeared in the doorway. No knock, no warning. “Something happen with the kids?”
It came out half-concern, half-surprise, because the last I’d heard from Ethan, Maren was gone. Off to some new teaching job. A clean break, he’d said. And yet here she was, flushed, breathing hard, eyes flicking between me and Adrian like she was deciding whether to say something or do something.
“Ethan’s out,” Adrian said with his own brand of curious confusion. “But I can call him if you want.”
Maren didn’t answer. She just reached behind her, closed the door, and slid the lock into place. That single sound sent a rush of heat up my spine.
I straightened in my chair, pulse spiking. The air changed instantly, like the molecules in the room had rearranged themselves. There was something wild about the way her lips parted, the faintest tremor in her hands that didn’t match the boldness of her stance.
She crossed the room slowly, her hips swaying with a natural rhythm that had no right to look as good as it did in jeans and a soft, fitted top. My throat went dry.
“You guys work too hard,” she said, her voice low. “I’m here to make sure you take a proper lunch break. Have something to eat.”
Adrian gave a low whistle, leaning back in his chair. “I think I’m starting to like this version of employee wellness.”
She slid herself onto the boardroom table in front of me. My chair creaked as I leaned back, just to get an eyeful of the view she was offering. My gaze trailed up her legs to the faint flush on her neck, the quick rise and fall of her chest.
Jesus. I had no idea what was happening, but she was something else.
I stood before I even thought about it, the instinct to close the space between us overpowering logic. My hands found her thighs first, thumbs brushing the inside seam of her jeans, feeling the warmth through the denim. The tension in her body thrummed like a live wire.
“Are you sure?” I asked, because I needed her to know I wasn’t going to be the one crossing that line for her. She didn’t answer with words. Just reached for me, fingers curling in the front of my shirt, and pulled me into her.
That first kiss hit like a bolt of lightning. All heat and hunger wrapped in a single brush of her lips. Every sound in the room blurred until all I could hear was the pounding pulse in my ears and the way her breath caught when I pushed my tongue deeper.
Her hands were in my hair, tugging, directing, taking.
And I let her. I let her set the pace, the pressure, the tone.
Not my usual gambit but feeling her like this turned me the fuck on like nothing else.
This woman who’d been seeped in uncertainty for weeks suddenly taking charge, right here, on the table where I’d spent hours building event strategies.
When she finally broke the kiss, both of us breathing hard, Adrian’s voice cut through the haze. “So I guess the teaching job’s off the table, and you’re… on it?”
Without flinching, Maren grabbed him by the front of his shirt and pulled him in, too.
Watching them kiss was its own kind of fire. She was just as commanding with him as she’d been with me, one hand gripping his collar, the other sliding up to the back of his neck. Adrian made a low sound against her mouth and that’s when it hit me.
She didn’t take the job. Because of this. Because of us.
The realization punched through the haze of arousal and made it worse, somehow.
Because I hadn’t said it out loud, but I was more than a little disappointed to hear she’d up and left.
Ethan played it off too, but I knew that if I pushed him to be honest I’d have to do the same.
I’d have to admit this wasn’t just horny attraction anymore.
I thought about Maren all the time. Wanted her all the time.
And not just like this, but all of the ways.
She was bolder than any woman I’d ever known, and that boldness did something to me. The kind of thing that made me want to match her, challenge her, maybe even worship her a little.
“Does that answer your question?” She looked up at him with heavy lids, lips swollen and red.
And as her fingers slid from Adrian’s collar back to my arm, her eyes finding mine again, I was ready to do all three.
I closed my fingers around her wrist and, keeping eye contact, guided her hand over the straining hard-on in my pants. A gasp fell from her slightly parted lips, and I watched as her bright green eyes shot black, swallowed by pupils that divulged her secret without discrimination.
A spark flashed in her smoldering gaze and with her hand still on my dick, she used the other to push my chest. Hard enough to make me sit back down as she slid off the table to follow.
I blinked, and she was bending over me, her legs on either side of my knees, slow, firm strokes teasing my cock through my pants.
“I hope I’m not interrupting anything… important.” Her tongue came out to wet her lips, and I bucked my hips once as she explored my length.
“Tease.” Adrian came up behind her and, with his hands firmly on her waist, pulled her to stand so her back pressed snug against his chest.
Her head fell onto his shoulder, and she reached up to grip the back of his neck. “It’s only teasing if I don’t follow through.”
Adrian glanced at me with a knowing glint in his eye. I watched him trail his fingers down her side and bring them to rest inside the waistband of her jeans. He kissed her, biting down on her bottom lip as he pulled back, and only let go once a deep moan fluttered out of her.
“Well, just in case, you should know we have our own way of dealing with a tease.” He slipped the sensible cardigan from her shoulders and it floated to the floor at her feet.
“You came here with a mission, didn’t you?” I moved forward so she was between my legs, hands running up her thighs and around to the delicious curve of her ass. I squeezed down. “Didn’t you?”
She bit down on her lower lip in that way that drove me fucking crazy. My cock twitched just looking at her.
“Maybe,” she breathed. “Maybe this is just—” She gasped, her head rolling on Adrian’s shoulder as I slid my hand between her thighs, applying pressure in just the right spot.
Adrian lifted her shirt over her head and swept the hair from her neck, trailing his tongue all the way up to her ear. He sucked her lobe and the sound that came out of her made me groan, my dick so hard that it throbbed.
His fingers ghosted over her ribs and sparked goosebumps in their wake. “You seem to be enjoying this an awful lot for someone who’s here on a lunch break.”
“I like to improvise.” And she reached back to grab hold of his cock through his pants.
Oh, this was gonna be fun.
The light sprinkling of freckles—like leftovers from the adorable burst on her face—drew a faint scattering over her shoulders and chest that faded across her abdomen until my eyes snagged on the beauty spot above her right hip.
Driven by an urge outside of myself, I pressed my lips to it.
Close enough to have her scent, strong and unexpectedly sweet, curl up my nostrils.
My jaw ached with how much it made my mouth water.
Her jeans came undone with a dull snap, and I got rid of them just as fast as it took Adrian to discard her bra.
“I want these to stay on,” I said, burying my face between her legs.
She swayed, turning in Adrian’s arms to capture his mouth again. He held her face with one hand, massaging her breast with the other, while I gradually drowned my senses in the warmth of her pussy.
Like her cardigan, the white underwear was pretty basic.
Nothing to write home about. But seeing them on her made all the difference.
I hooked my arm behind her knee and lifted her leg so her foot rested on the side of my chair.
Then I dipped my head and brought my open mouth to where her heat pooled.
I dragged my tongue over the stiff bud beneath the flimsy fabric, and braced myself against the way her thigh quivered beside my head.
A few purposeful flicks, and she needed Adrian to support her weight.
“And you call me the tease…” The look in her eyes stole my breath away. Unrestrained desire that only wanted one thing.
I called her bluff and rolled back in my chair, getting my pants loose enough to bring out my cock. “Get over here, then.”
There was no uncertainty or hesitation in her eyes as she came to straddle me again, her hands on my shoulders to steady herself. I moved her underwear aside and with my other hand, guided my cock to her entrance. Her lids grew heavy as I teased her with it, coating my tip with her wetness.
“Lunch break’s almost over, babe.” My words did what I intended, and Maren sank down on my cock.
Her legs shook as she rocked her hips hard until I was buried to the hilt inside of her. The stretch in her pussy pulsed around me, and she took a second to settle before moving on top of me in a stilted, but determined motion.
Those dreamy green eyes found mine again. “Like this?”
“I know you’re a good teacher, but you’re fucking hot when you follow instructions.” I dug my fingers into her ass and helped her match the rhythm of my thrusts, our bodies quickly finding the pace that fed the growing need between us.
A throaty laugh bubbled out of her then. “I can be good if you ask nicely.”
“And if I don’t?” My hands were all over her breasts, rolling and tugging her stiff nipples. I sucked one of them in, circling and flicking my tongue to coax another moan from her.
Her pussy clamped around me, so tight it almost destroyed what little control I had. “Even better,” she said, and pulled me into a kiss that made my head spin.
The chair creaked under us, but that did nothing to slow our movements or stave off the urgency that was quickly consuming me.
I wanted this to last, and I didn’t want to stop.
I wanted to fuck her until there was nothing left of either of us.
I stared at her heaving chest, the sweat glistening on her breasts, and something flared white hot in my crotch.
It surged through me and I thrust up harder than before, almost knocking us off-kilter.
The alarm on Maren’s face was quickly subdued by Adrian’s appearance, one hand on her back, the other steadying the chair. His gaze raked over the heated flush on her cheeks, the way her panting breath fell from her lips.
“Fuck me, you look good enough to eat.”
She took hold of his dick. “I could say the same about you.”
Adrian was struck motionless as she closed her mouth around him, head bobbing up and down as she sucks him off. He gathered her hair out of the way, biting down on his lower lip as he watched her devour him with the same insatiable hunger she was fucking me with.
And my God, is she fucking me.
She bounces on my cock without breaking the pace I’ve set. Whatever happened this morning, it had to be good to get her this way. It had made her so hungry that she was practically gagging for it.
My fingers tighten in her hair, urging her on as the muscles in my back and legs tense up.
Her moans intensify, and her pussy clamps down around me, walls fluttering as she veers closer and closer to climax.
I reach around and spread her ass cheeks, my finger dipping and teasing her there.
Her reaction is instant, and she lets out a long, ragged moan.
It makes Adrian suck in a breath, hips jerking as his cock absorbs the sound.
She likes it. And I really like that she likes it. I dip my finger in up to the first knuckle this time, and she grinds down hard. My thighs are slick with how fucking wet she is.
“Ah, fuck.” Adrian was on the brink, his whole body tensing up. “I’m gonna come. Oh, God…”
Maren cupped his balls and sucked him in with relish, saliva dripping from her lips the way she worked him.
It didn’t take long. Adrian had one hand on each of our shoulders for balance as his orgasm seized his body with a series of jerks and twitches.
She released him with a choked-up cry, swallowing the last of his come as her head dropped back.
The movement in her hips grew urgent. Faster.
I pressed deeper into the chair to keep up, my own moans mixing with hers as we shoved our hips together in search of the same release.
I could feel the heat rolling off her. My hands clutched at her thighs, holding her close. That low heat at the base of my spine let me know it wouldn’t be long now.
“That’s it,” Adrian murmured, cradling her head. “Stay with him.”
Her lids drooped closed. She was totally lost in it. In us.
Her hands braced on my shoulders, fingers digging just enough to make me ache, and I let myself go with the moment. Every breath she drew, every flicker of movement, sent sparks up my spine.
“Fuck… you feel incredible.” The last word was a grunt as I drove into her.
The tension kept building, the way she trembled just enough to drive me further. There was no thrusting now; our bodies were so close together it was impossible. We gave in to grinding it out like our lives depended on it. My dick so deep I felt her swollen clit rubbing against me.
“There you go…” Adrian’s encouragement stoked the flames. “There she is…”
I felt it coil, a heat that started in my stomach and flared through my limbs, and she was right there, riding me with a scorching hot need that left me gasping.
“God, Maren,” I groaned, hands in her hair now.
Her back arched, muscles trembling with the force of it. “Miles…” she murmured, lost, and it was enough to tip me over the edge. My mind went white, and I gave into it completely, letting myself ride it out with her, every movement raw and consuming.
Her pussy clenched, and Maren tripped over the edge, quaking and shuddering in my lap. A sensation so sweet, it pulled me along with her. The fire in my crotch splintered into a thousand explosions that shattered through me, and I held her in place until my dick went limp.
I held onto her even after that. Breathless and buzzing with the knowledge that even though it was over, I wanted more. I would always want more where she was concerned.
