Be a Doll(44)

I took several deep breaths to calm down my heartbeats and I kept my eyes closed. I needed to stay a little longer in the sensation she made me feel with just her pillowy lips and her delicate tongue and her taste a heavenly mix of Chardonnay and what was Lila.

I didn’t want to remember who I had become just yet.

But that didn’t last.

When her taste disappeared from my mouth a few minutes later, my cock started softening and my mind went back to the one thing that had me obsessed for years, the one thing that was the reason why Lila was there tormenting me in the first place.

My job.

Still unsteady, I got to my feet and walked to the console table where I had left my phone earlier. I ignored the images of Lila tugging me to her, assaulting my senses and the memory of her soft skin against my fingers and went to my email inbox.

Jonatan,



Change of plan. Get the legal department in my office first thing in the morning.

CEO GM Enterprises



I pocketed my phone and smirked to myself when I felt my control slipping back into place, chasing away the last remnants of the things that kissing my wife had made me feel.

That, being in control and acting was what I knew, what I was used to. Losing control wasn’t in my vocabulary anymore and next time I would kiss my wife, I’d make sure it didn’t happen again.

She was mine, not the other way around.

The day I would take Lila Grimes to bed would be the day I would get her out of my fucking system and move on.

I turned off the lights in the living room and stalked to my bedroom where I knew my wife was waiting in bed, probably faking sleep when her whole body ached from lack of satisfaction.

My cock twitched again in my slacks at that thought, but I frowned.

I opened the bedroom door and saw Lila on her side, eyes closed and breathing too fast for sleep. One quick glance at her body partially covered by the sheets told me that the tension in her was still ever-present.

I traced my lower lip with a finger, remembering the softness of her lips against mine and contemplated toying with her, testing to see if she would break down, but I denied myself.

I was still too raw from that kiss.

I walked closer to her side of the bed and I saw her chest stop rising as she held in her breath. I bent down until my mouth brushed against the shell of her little ear. I breathed her in and closed my hands into fists when the need to touch her manifested itself.

“I know you’re not asleep, Lila.’’ I let that sink in and watched as her eyes blinked open, fixed on my collarbone peeking where I had opened a couple of buttons on my dress shirt while my tie hung around my neck loosely. “I’m not going to toy with you tonight. A kiss was more than I bargained for, but, little wife, that fucking kiss is just the beginning. Tomorrow is a brand new day.’’

I straightened up, let my eyes drop to the front of her tank top where I could make out her tight nipples and I turned around to get in the bathroom where I took a cold shower.





MATHIS


Walking in my building and the level I had my office at usually was exactly the kind of boost I needed when I had to fill in the shoes I had picked for myself. It used to be difficult to get in the right frame of mind first thing in the morning, but it’s been second nature now, so much so that I had forgotten who I was under all these layers I put on. It only took a fiery woman to remind me some of the things I wanted to forget, or more accurately, some things I wanted to push away to revisit when I was away from prying eyes and on my own terms.

I glared around, catching a few employees more engrossed in gossiping like school girls than sitting their asses behind their desks, but one look made them scatter and scramble back to where they were supposed to be. I nodded at a few more employees when they greeted me, but I kept my jaw locked.

I had barely slept a wink last night after that kiss. My cock had been in a constant state of arousal, even after over fifteen minutes spent in an ice cold shower. I would have been able to find a modicum of relief if I had jerked off, but with my wife in bed beside me and my need to keep some kind of control over what was going on between us, I hadn’t wanted to prove to her how much she had an effect on me, the kind of effect I couldn’t think clearly and I couldn’t control my own damn cock as if I was back to my early teen years.

I sidestepped an intern who squeaked and apologized profusely, but I didn’t pay her any attention. Sitting at his desk, Jonatan stood up as soon as he spotted me stalking toward him and caught the office chair before it hit the wall behind him.

I didn’t slow down at his desk and only snapped one word. “Coffee.’’

“Uh, yes, sir.’’

I didn’t spare my assistant another look and stepped in my vast office, closing the frosted glass door after me and sat behind my desk in the imposing desk chair. Not even the fine leather and the way it enveloped my back made me relax. The tension in my body had more to do with sexual frustration than the debacle of last night’s dinner.

Faint and hesitant knocks at the door made me frown. “Come in.’’

Jonatan walked in with a steaming cup of coffee and several newspapers tucked under his arms, just like I’m used to every morning when coming in to work.
