Touched (The Untouched Trilogy #2)(84)

“With all the modes of modern communication, we’ll be fine Aria,” he assured me.

“I know,” I said. “I just hate it.”





CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Over the course of the next several months, my sisters and I had the opportunity to build bridges and form the foundation for very solid relationships. They’d applied for and were accepted to both Boston and Ohio State. I was hoping they’d stay close by but understood if they didn’t. Although I wasn’t exactly playing the role of mother hen, I was very much involved, probably more so than they would have liked. They were typical of most young adults at this stage; they wanted a chance to experience complete freedom.

While my sisters and I had more time together, Aiden and I had less. Most of his business was conducted out of the country and our dates were reduced to Skype and phone calls. I hated this; he promised that it wouldn’t be this way for much longer because he was preparing Sloan and Nicholas to take a firmer position within the company. I seriously doubted that considering the conversation I’d overheard a few months ago in his father’s study.

We’d celebrated the last few holidays virtually. Although our time together was special, I was afraid that it wasn’t enough for either of us. Something had to change.

“I’ll need those reports by the end of the week. And cancel my trip to New York. I don’t have time for that right now,” I said.

“Yes ma’am,” Raina replied.

“On second thought, see if you can get Stephanie Landen to take my place.”

“Will do.”

“And get her all the information she needs for the presentation,” I added.

“Yes, I’ll attach it to the email with her itinerary.”

I looked up to the sound of someone clearing his throat and was immediately distracted by the gorgeous man staring at me.

Raina turned back to me. “Anything else?” she asked.

“No, that’s all for now,” I replied, my eyes glued to my man, virtually stripping him of his tailored suit.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Raine,” Raina said, walking toward Aiden.

“Good afternoon, Raina. Miss Cason isn’t working you too hard is she?” Aiden asked.

“No of course not, she would never do that.” Raina replied, sarcasm lacing her words.

Aiden smiled as Raina excused herself.

“To what do I owe the pleasure of a visit from my boss?” I asked.

“Who said anything about pleasure?”

“Oh, so does that mean I’m in trouble? Should I lift my skirt and get on all fours?” I asked, teasingly.

“See, that’s why I wanted you in this position. You’re so intuitive.” He closed the door and I heard the click of the lock.

I smiled as I rose from my chair and started toward him. He was on me within a few strides; his lips pressed solidly against mine. He pulled me closer, forcing his tongue into my mouth. “Fuck, I’ve missed you,” he murmured.

My office was saturated with the heavy breathing and uncontrolled passion of two lovers whose longing had exceeded its threshold. He grasped my chin holding me in place as he licked deeper into my mouth. I moved my hands to his waist, my hands trembling as I attempted to unzip his pants. He pushed my hands away, turned me around and hurriedly walked me toward the desk, his erection poking me in the small of my back. He pushed me over the edge of the desk and lifted my skirt. He moved my panties to the side and shoved his dick inside me.

“Fuck!” I cried out. He placed his hand over my mouth, muting my cries of lust as he charged into me. He tightened his grasp on my mouth, pulling me back to meet the stabbing blows. It was hard and very rough. We were both eager for the same thing, a quick release to tide us over until we had time to really go at it.

My climax was almost instant, as was his. He hardened and erupted inside me, I bit his finger as my body released its wave of desire, trembling as he held me firmly in place.

“Well, that’s one way to say hello,” I said, as he loosened his hold on me and turned me to face him. I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his beautiful pink lips. “I’ve missed you too,” I said, heading to my office bathroom.

He followed me inside and I passed a towel to him. I watched as he wiped up, and smiled. He just didn’t seem the type to have an office quickie. Then again, neither was I … until him.

I pulled my skirt down after wiping up and returned to my office. Although quick, it was memorable, as I was reminded with each step. Kingston was huge and always left an impression on Virginia.

“Have I ever mentioned that this is one of my favorite perks of the job? You provide an excellent incentive for me to remain in this position.”

“I do what I can Miss Cason; I like to keep the employees’ morale up.” he replied, grinning.

“So if another employee asks?”

“It would be inappropriate. I only give office f*cks to the RPH CEO. I think that’s in the contract.”

I simply adored him. “So this contract, are there any other items in fine print that I obviously overlooked?”

“As a matter of fact, there’re several. I didn’t want to mention those just yet because you’re still getting your feet wet, but since you asked…”
