Taking Shots (Assassins, #1)(99)
“Oh, baby, don’t think about that. You’ll worry yourself sick.”
She already had.
“Okay.”
“Alright, well go to bed. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“I can’t wait.”
“Me neither, goodnight.”
“Night.”
Elli hung up just as the tears started to fall. She was crying for Harper, for Jakob, and for the simple fact that this could happen to Shea. The thought tore sobs out of her, because she was so scared. The uncertainty of what could happen to Shea scared her shitless, and the fact that he wasn’t with her made it worst. She couldn’t hold him to guarantee herself that he was fine at that particular moment, so she cried and cried.
Until sleep came.
Shea had gotten back to the hotel late the night before after taking Harper to the hospital, so when he woke up late and missed the bus back home, he went to the airport and jumped on the first flight home. He was surprised no one came looking for him, but then again they probably thought he was still with Jakob, which normally he would have been if Harper wasn’t around.
Since he had taken the airplane home, he was three hours early. After landing, he took a taxi to his condo. Shea wanted to shower before heading over to Time Standing Still to surprise Elli. When he walked into the condo, Adler came barreling from the kitchen to greet him.
“Hey, boy!” Shea said bending down to pet and hug the pup. He didn’t realize how much he had missed the dog, but he had. He rubbed the top of Adler’s head before shutting the door, and taking his bags back to his room. Nothing had changed, he noticed as he walked through the condo, but it was easy to tell that Elli had been living here. Cups were in the sink, along with the trash being full, and her shoes were everywhere. He shook his head as he threw his bags on the bed, he would unpack later, he was too eager to see Elli. After taking a shower and throwing on a pair of jeans with a t-shirt and sweat shirt over it, he was out the door, in his truck on his way to Elli’s.
When Shea pulled up to Time Standing Still, no one was in the parking lot except for Elli’s truck and one other. He prayed that no customers were there as he got out the truck and headed for the door. He kicked himself mentally for not picking up flowers first, but he was in such a hurry to see her, he had forgotten. He threw the door open and a blonde haired girl stood up, saying the regular greeting.
“Hey, is Elli here?” he asked, the girl smiled nicely, but obvious didn’t recognize him.
“She is, and you are?”
“Shea Adler, her boyfriend.”
“Oh! Hi! I’m Alice, one of her assistants! So nice to meet ya!” she said holding out her hand. He took her small hand in his and smiled.
“Nice to meet you, too,” he said, “Is she in her office?”
“She is. Would you like me to page her?”
“Um, can I just go back there?”
“Sure!”
“Thanks,” he said with a grin as he started down the hall for her office. He was half way there when the door open and Elli started towards him, looking down at a piece of paper she was holding. He stopped taking in the beauty that was her. Her hair was up in a crazy mess of curls, she was wearing a white button up shirt that had a green tie that wasn’t tied, with a green plaid skirt, with black tights and green high heels.
She looked like a naughty school girl.
And she was all his.
“Jesus, woman, you are too hot for words.”
Elli jumped, startled, throwing the papers she was holding in the air. She looked up at Shea, as a slow grin went over her face.
“Shea!” she gushed, running to him, wrapping her arms around his neck before pressing her lips to his. He wrapped her up in his arms, picking her up off the ground a little as he passionately kissed her. When she wrapped her legs around his waist, he groaned as he started walking towards her office. God, he wanted her.
So f*cking badly.
He pushed the door close with her back, before pressing his rapidly growing erection into her core. She gasped as she pulled at his sweat shirt, trying to get it off. He pulled back, pulling his shirt and sweat shirt off at the same time, before reclaiming her already swollen lips. As he fed himself from the sweetness of her mouth he undid each button of her shirt, before capturing her breast in each of his hand. She let out a moan as he tweaked her aching nipples through the sheer fabric of her bra.
“God, I want you,” he gasped against her mouth as he molded her breast in his hands.
“Take me,” she practically moaned as he kissed down her throat, “Please,” she added when he moved his hands from her breast to her half bare bottom. He pulled back and lifted her skirt, since he was confused. Her legs were black, so he though she was wearing tights. When he saw that the tights came to mid thigh and that she was wearing nothing but lace, he almost came.
“Jesus, you’re so f*cking hot,” he groaned before ripping the fabric off her. Elli let out a small little meep before he took her mouth with his again, undoing his pants. He wanted to give her more foreplay, but he wasn’t going to last, he had to be inside her. He reached in his pocket pulling out the condom he had brought with him, before letting his pants fall.
He tried to open the condom while still kissing Elli, but it wasn’t working, he couldn’t concentrate, so he pulled back, looking at the package, to see what he was doing. Elli leaned against the door, watching him with ‘come get me’ eyes as he sheathed himself. He didn’t even wait; he picked up one of her legs and entered her fully in one deep thrust. She let out a deep satisfied moan, but then covered her mouth as she looked up at him.
