Chapter 29
Jake
2 months later…
“I knowthat look in your eyes, Jake Matthews. You better not be thinking what I think you’re thinking.”
Everly bites her bottom lip and shakes her head, excitement shining in her big, hazel eyes.
“You are going to have to be quiet, baby, unless you want everyone in the office to know you’re getting fucked by your boss.” I turn the lock on her door, then cross the room to where she’s sitting at her desk. Everly started working here last month. Best decision I ever made.
“Jake,” she begins, eyes wide, but when I start unbuttoning my shirt she stops. I pull it off, tossing it on the chair, then waste no time leaning over her for a kiss. I watch her eyes flutter open when I pull back, pausing, until they meet mine.
“This is a bad idea,” she says with lust-filled eyes.
“I like being bad with you.” My mouth grazes the side of her jaw. “Stand up.”
I take a step back, and I can tell by the look in her eyes that she’s about to argue with me, which is okay because my cock loves it when she does. I also know my girlfriend. She loves knowing that we could get caught.
“Lift up your skirt,” I demand. She’s wearing that damn pencil skirt she used to wear when she worked at Catch 21, the one that drives me crazy. If she’s wearing it to torture me, it’s working. She paired it with a white blouse with tiny gold buttons down the front that have been mocking me all morning.
She pulls her skirt up slowly, the hem shifting from below her knees to mid-thigh. “How’s this?”
“Not far enough, baby.” I shake my head. “Lift it higher so I can see what you’re wearing underneath it.”
She pulls the fabric a little higher until I can see a glimpse of the white lace she’s wearing, but it’s not enough. “Higher Ev, or I’ll do it myself.”
She finally bunches the fabric around her waist so I can see what I want. My cock hardens.
Everly’s eyes heat with lust when I move my hand to her blouse, slowly unbuttoning her. I watch a shiver roll over her skin when I slip the fabric over her shoulders, tossing it to the floor.
“Good girl. Now unbutton my pants and take my cock out.”
She gets my pants and my briefs down far enough to get my dick out while I shimmy the lace down her thighs. She takes a nervous glance at the door while I take her in from head to toe. She’s in nothing but a see-through lace bra, her peaked nipples giving away how turned on she is. “Sit on the desk,” I command.
She does, and I waste no time dropping to my knees and flattening my tongue along her seam. She tastes like fucking heaven. I devour her, dragging my tongue back and forth through her wet folds, picking up speed before flicking my tongue over the place that sets her off like a rocket.
“Jake,” she screams as I cover her mouth with my hand.
Once her head falls back and her body goes limp, I stand and suck on her neck to increase her pleasure. “Shh, baby. We need to be quiet. What if someone hears us? You don’t want us to get caught, do you?”
She presses her teeth into her bottom lip when I remove my hand. I help her to her feet and then spin her around so she’s bent over the desk. “Hands on the desk, baby.” I push on her lower back until her chest is flush with the cold, wood surface and then I’m pushing inside her in one quick thrust. My eyes, I swear, roll back in my head when I feel her warm, wet heat. When I’m inside Everly, I’m fucking lost in her. I lose track of time. I forget where I am. I can’t remember my own name. “You feel so good,” I tell her as I push harder, slamming into her. I move in and out of her, slow and smooth at first before my pace changes to quick and greedy.
With her ass in my hands, I sink into her before flipping her around so I’m sitting on the desk and she’s on my lap, straddling my thighs. “Please, Jake.” She moans my name in a desperate plea. I grip the nape of her neck, pulling her mouth into mine, moaning into the kiss before lifting her up and lowering her down until she’s seated. Everly sighs a groan of approval when I find that spot deep inside her.
“I had to be inside you. I couldn’t wait until tonight,” I growl against her neck, thrusting up into her until I feel her clench around my dick, finding her second release. “That’s it, Ev. Let me feel you come all over my cock.”
Everly’s groans are muffled by my shoulder when I feel my balls begin to draw up and my cock begins to throb. And I’m done. I fall apart, spilling inside of her.
After several minutes, I slowly lower her to her feet. I pull her skirt back down over her hips before I smooth back her hair.
Everly starts to laugh. “I’m not sure there’s anything you can do to make it look like we didn’t just have sex.”
“You should have thought about that before you decided to torture me with that skirt.”
“You have no self-control,” she says, buttoning up her blouse. “Now get out of here, I have work to do.”
I give her a kiss before leaving her. Walking past my office, I grab my jacket from the closet and head out the door. I have somewhere else I need to be.
EVERLY
Jake must be workinglate tonight. I’ve tried to hold off dinner, but Birdie is hungry. I am starving too. I haven’t seen him since he seduced me in my office earlier today, which was incredible, but made for a very awkward afternoon. I hid in my office for the rest of the day, too nervous to show my face around the team. I felt like it was written across my forehead— my boyfriend, your boss, just fucked my brains out on my desk. Thankfully, no one in the office gave me the side-eye or acted weird around me when I finally snuck out to grab a cup of coffee.
Birdie and I are sitting at the kitchen table at Jake’s house—correction, our house—when we hear the front door open. We moved in when we returned to Reed Point, and living with my two favorite people has been even better than I could have imagined.
“Jake?” Birdie hollers from the kitchen.
“It’s me, Birdie-girl,” he answers as she takes off running towards the hallway. I peak my head around the corner in time to watch him scoop her up into his arms and twirl her around. Birdie giggles. My ovaries explode. His eyes find mine over her shoulder and he winks. I am so in love with this man.
“I have a surprise for you,” he tells her when he sets her down on the ground. “Go have a seat on the couch,” he says, then looks at me. “You too, Mom.”
“I love surprises!” Birdie cheers, bouncing on to the couch as I sit down next to her. I watch him walk back to the front door, wondering what he is up to.
“Close your eyes, Birdie,” he hollers, closing the door behind him. “No peeking, remember.”
“They’re closed.” She has her hands covering her eyes.
When Jake returns, he’s holding a tiny gray and white kitten in his arms, a red bow tied around its neck. I gasp, my hand flying to my mouth. “Okay, Birdie,” he says with a grin. “You can look now.”
“A kitten!” she screams, her entire face lighting up when she sees the cat in his arms. “Jake, is that for me?”
“It is, Birdie-girl. She’s yours,” Jake says, kneeling in front of her. “Do you want to hold her?”
“Yes! Yes, please. I’ll be gentle, I promise,” she answers softly before Jake places the kitten in her lap, glancing at me to make sure I’m not going to strangle him. How could I? This man has proven he would do anything for Birdie. He has a heart made of gold. He is truly one of the best things to ever happen to her life.
“Thank you,” she weeps, hugging the kitten to her chest. “This is the best day of my entire life. I’m so happy.”
“Are you mad at me?” He says the words quietly, his eyes finding mine. “She deserves the kitten. She deserves anything she wants.”
My heart swells. I swallow down the emotion. “You shouldn’t have, but I’m not mad. It was really sweet of you.”
“Anything for my girls.” He smiles.
“I know.”
His eyes hold mine, an intense gaze, an invisible force pulling us closer. “I told you on our first non-date that it would be a matter of time before you fell head over heels in love with me and I meant it,” he says, leaning forward for a kiss.
“Yes, you did. I remember.”
“I was already falling hard for you that night.” His eyes sparkle. My heart is his.
My whole body tingles, sending shivers down my spine, as he pulls me closer, until our lips are just millimetres away. “Have you been reading my romance books, lover boy?”
“Maybe.” His hand moves to my jaw, the heat between us so hot, it feels like fire. “We got our happily ever after, baby.”
“We did.”
Like fate, Jake walked into my life and stole my heart before I even knew it was happening. I tried to resist. I tried to ignore the feelings he sparked inside of me. None of it worked.
The best kind of love begins without warning. It comes to you at just the right time: the time you least expect it.
It’s how I found Jake, and I plan on never letting him go.
