I’d spaced out again and Shelley was quick to elbow me to let me know I was staring a little too long at our boss. I blinked, surprised for a moment before I was drawn in by his raw magnetism again. Griff’s muscular, strong body was confined by a suit which looked as though the seams might burst at any moment and I couldn’t help but want it to happen.
As I was imagining what Griff’s body looked like underneath his Armani shirt, he glanced up and his eyes met mine again. Electricity shot through my body and my heart began thudding against my chest. I really didn’t understand it at all. Of course, Griff was attractive, but no other guy I’d flirted with or even dated had triggered such a strong and animalistic response in me. It was like nothing I’d ever felt before in my life and I craved more.
Even though I knew I really, really shouldn’t.
Before Griff had sprung the whole fake relationship thing on me, I’d never indulged myself in the idea of being his lover… but then the conference happened and now, I didn’t know where I stood with anything. All I knew was that I was still fantasizing about being tangled up with him under the sheets every night.
When I felt a rustling next to me, I realized that Shelley, along with every other member of staff in the room, had stood up. They were all heading to the door and soon it was just Griff and I, all alone.
Curious about the meeting I’d pretty much missed entirely, I stood and moved over to where Griff was sitting. Without thinking too much on it, I leaned over Griff’s shoulder and allowed my long, blonde hair to fall across his shirt while I peered down at the papers in front of him. He was working out the cost of changing suppliers for recycled plastic and I noticed he’d written down a price of one thousand dollars, only to record it later as one hundred dollars.
“You… You’ve missed a zero there,” I pointed out as my hand held his other shoulder tight and I leaned down further until my breasts were pushed up against his back. “That should be a thousand, not a hundred.”
Underneath me, I felt Griff’s muscles tighten and his shoulders tighten. I wondered for a moment if I had pushed the boundaries too far. After all, Griff had seemed rather serious when he said they couldn’t have sex again. What if he meant he wanted me to keep my distance all the time? Not even a hug… Not even a little kiss…
But then I turned and noticed the look on his face—it was a predatory look, full of hunger. A little gasp escaped my lips before Griff turned and smashed his lips against my own. My eyes closed automatically and I couldn’t help but moan at the contact. It hadn’t even been very long since we’d last kissed – a few weeks at most – but Griff’s kiss felt like a cold splash of water on a scorching hot day. It satisfied a desire within me that I hadn’t even realized was there before. Yet, no matter how good his lips felt against mine, I couldn’t help but yearn for more.
Thankfully, Griff appeared to feel the same.
Within moments, his tongue began to prod at the seam of my lips before finally forcing its way inside and laving at my own. His hands were grasping at my body like he was a dying man and I his life raft. Desperation seemed to fuel him and he gripped my hips tight before pulling me into his strong arms. Griff’s firm, muscular body was pressed hard against my own and I couldn’t help but tremble in anticipation of what was coming next.
Ever since our first time, I’d been craving Griff. I’d been fantasizing about him constantly and wanting to relive the pleasure of his every touch. Now he was kissing me again finally! I was breathless from the force of his passion as he pushed me back against the wooden conference table. He began to kiss down my jaw and my neck until he found the buttons on my shirt. With a smirk up at me, he gripped the material and ripped it until the buttons flew away and my breasts were revealed.
It was everything I had been aching for and yet, it was still not enough. Not until Griff was back inside me once again.
I didn’t think it would take long to get there, however. Not judging by the feral way his gray eyes devoured the sight of my body on display for him. With a growl, Griff gripped the back of my thighs and lifted me until I was sat on the table. I parted my legs for him and moaned as his body slipped between them.
