Chapter 16
Oliver Ferraz
This girl is so bold. She doesn’t act like someone who’s never been kissed before. Was I really her first? I’m starting to have my doubts.
“In what way, Alice? Show me how you like to use your tongue. I have to admit, I’m very curious.”
I squeeze her waist and lean in to kiss her again. I want to repeat that kiss, to taste her mouth again, but suddenly the little devil sticks her tongue out at me and says:
“There, satisfied?! Now let me work.” She slips out of my arms like escaping me is easy.
She must be out of her mind. How can she tease me like that and think she’ll get away with it? I grab her wrist, spin her around, and pin her against the door.
“You really think you’re walking out of here like that, after teasing me, you little troublemaker?” I murmur, bringing my mouth close to hers.
I can’t hold back. I surge forward and kiss her hard.
At first she’s tense, frozen, but soon she melts into me.
Her arms come alive and wrap around my neck, her warm hand on my nape pulling me closer.
Her body trembles against mine. I lift her off the floor, set her on the desk, and deepen the kiss.
I feel her breath quicken against mine, and my heart feels like it might explode.
I run my hands over her body, sliding down to her ass, firm and perky.
I dig my fingers into her flesh, drawing a sigh from her.
I slide my fingertips to the hem of her skirt, pushing it up to find her thighs.
My hands glide over her skin, and I notice how warm it is, covered in goosebumps—how much she wants me, even if she won’t admit it.
I move higher until I find her most sensitive spot, touching her through her panties.
Fuck. Her pussy is dripping wet. The sweet scent of her skin, her panting breath… everything screams that she wants me as much as I want her.
But when I try to go further, her hand grabs mine and she stops me, her voice trembling:
“No, Oliver. We can’t do this.”
For a second, I see in her eyes the same struggle I feel inside me: desire and fear, longing and reason.
“Relax, I’m not going to do anything. I just want to touch you.” My voice comes out deeper than I’d like.
“We’re at work.” She swallows hard. “Someone could walk in. I should get back to my desk.”
I see the conflict in her eyes: she didn’t want to say no. She wanted to keep going. But she forces herself to pull away. She slides off the desk, straightens her clothes, and tries to catch her breath. So do I.
Before she leaves, I cup her face in my hands and press a gentle kiss to her lips. A kiss that’s almost a promise. She sighs and walks out without looking back.
What are you doing to me, girl? When I touch you, everything changes. My body burns, my heart races. You seep into my skin, into my very blood. And I don’t want to let you go.
I shake my head, trying to push away the daydreams, when someone knocks on the door. I take a deep breath, compose myself, and tell them to come in.
“So, man, what are you doing tonight?” Alberto walks in with a smile.
“Heading straight home. Shower, grab something to eat, and sleep. I’m beat!”
“I know a great spot we could hit up. Lots of women, drinks. What do you say?”
“Not today. I need to go over some contracts—we’re signing them all this week.”
“What’s up with you? You’ve been way too buttoned-up lately.”
“I’ve always been buttoned-up.”
“Oh, did you get back together with your ex? Is that it?”
“Don’t be an idiot. I wouldn’t touch Andréa with a ten-foot pole.”
“Then you’re in love. I knew it!”
“Alberto, don’t you have work to do? I can find something for you if it’ll get you off my back.”
He raises his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay. Forget I said anything. But you’ve been acting weird, man. Really weird.”
“If you want, we can have drinks at my place. That way we can go over some contracts.”
“Deal. I’ll catch you later.”
He heads out, leaving me alone.
Alice is driving me crazy. Even other people are starting to notice. I need to figure this out. But deep down, I know what I really want: to take her to my bed. Only then will this obsession end.
She knocks on the door, her soft voice telling me she’s heading out. Just hearing it makes my body react. This girl is going to drive me insane.
I need to spend one night with her. Just one. To get this addiction out of my system.
Could she be my redemption?!
