Mondays officially sucked.
Melissa should've known today was going to be disastrous from the moment her stupid alarm clock went off, yanking her out of quite possibly the most erotic sex dream she'd ever had. She wanted to smash the damned thing into a million pieces for beeping just as Brandon Carter's fingers thrust deep inside her throbbing core.
She cursed loudly and launched the piece of shit across the room when she realized she was alone in her bed and not lying naked on the beach with that insanely gorgeous man.
This was getting ridiculous. The more often the pair worked together, the more Brandon starred in her dreams...
Buck.
Fucking.
Naked.
She couldn't get his unruly blond hair or his sparkling blue eyes out of her mind. Was it possible to spontaneously combust for wanting someone so much?
Gah! What she wouldn't give to have him warming her bed and body each and every night. But they were co-workers, and the entertainment magazine they worked for was very clear about how that sort of thing was frowned upon and blah, blah, blah. Prudish idiots.
As Melissa showered, she slid her fingers all over and inside her overheated body, imagining they were his, stroking her clit, pumping her moist flesh, bringing her to heights of pleasure she'd never known.
But just as the fevered heat swelling inside began to reach its boiling point, there was a loud knock on the bathroom door and a warning from her roommate and fellow co-worker, Sarah, that they needed to leave in fifteen minutes or they would be late for work.
Friggin' crap!
Needless to say, she toweled herself off sorely disappointed and more frustrated than ever.
By the time they got to the office, she was so flustered that she slipped and fell on her ass in the parking lot, causing the slit in her pencil skirt to rip at least a good two inches higher.
Dammit!
"Nice one, Melissa," Sarah said with a laugh as she slid out of her Prius. "You get a seven for technique, but the landing's definitely a perfect ten."
Melissa scowled and stuck out her tongue like the mature 32-year-old that she was. Sarah just rolled her eyes and sauntered her skinny little ass inside the building, leaving her roommate sprawled out on the pavement.
Thankfully, Brandon's car wasn't in the parking lot, which meant that he hadn't arrived yet and didn't see Melissa make a complete moron out of herself. Unfortunately, however, someone else was there to witness her fall.
"Morning, Melissa," Robert Thompson crooned as he jogged over and helped her up, running a hand through his freakishly spiky hair. Nothing at all like Brandon's beautiful blond mess.
"Hey," she mumbled weakly back, not really in the mood for Robert this early in the morning. She knew who she wanted, who she needed.
Where the hell is Brandon? He's usually here by now.
Robert slid a clammy finger beneath her chin and tilted her head of auburn curls up, forcing her to look, not into the liquid sapphire eyes she wanted most to see, but into his boring brown ones.
When she first started working at
News Reel Magazine
six months before, she'd thought he was cute. Of course, that was before she'd laid her eyes on Brandon. Brandon Carter was perfection. Robert Thompson was, well, not.
"Everything okay?" he asked, his nasally voice laced with concern.
She released a heavy sigh and shrugged her shoulders. "Yeah. I just..."
really want Brandon inside me right now
. "I'm tired."
"You sure? Sure I can't help you with...
anything
?"
She heard his question with her ears, but she felt it between her thighs. Was she just overly horny, or was Robert actually suggesting...
Before she had time to form a coherent response, she caught a glimpse of tanned flesh and crazy blond hair out of the corner of her eye.
Brandon.
Sigh.
She smiled involuntarily like the lovesick puppy that she was, ignored Robert's creepy leer, and headed off toward the building's entrance and... Brandon.
He greeted her with that panty-creaming grin of his that never failed to make her all sorts of wobbly in the knees, and held the door open, allowing her to brush up against his chiseled form as she made her way inside.
Mmm. Thank you very much.
During the usual morning staff meeting, Melissa ignored the incessant droning of their boss, Mr. Leonard, and shamelessly stared at Brandon's god-like form as he sat beside her. She sucked her bottom lip in between her teeth as she pictured the deliciously defined muscles hidden beneath his crisp navy shirt and the happy trail that led to the gloriousness encased below in his slacks.
He caught her ogling his crotch several times, but other than furrowing his brow and clenching his jaw, said nothing.
Always a perfect gentleman.
God, how she wanted him.
If she didn't have him between her thighs soon, she was going to die. But, as the meeting ended and the morning dragged on, no matter how many times she licked her lips seductively or shook her ass in his direction or accidentally-on-purpose brushed her tits up against his arm, he wouldn't give in.
He was driving her insane.
By the time lunch rolled around, she couldn't take it anymore. Her panties were soaked completely through, and her body was literally trembling from being in a constant state of arousal. And nothing, not even a dose or two of Benadryl was enough to calm her overly-excited body down.
I need release, and I need it now!
With a speed she hadn't realized she was capable of, Melissa sprinted out of her tiny cubicle and searched the office frantically. Her heart thundered beneath her silk blouse as her eyes locked with his across the room, past the other employees who were milling about and unaware of the fever burning within her.
The bastard smirked, as if he knew exactly what she was thinking. Of course, it didn't take a mind reader to figure out what her body was practically begging for.
He cocked an amused eyebrow, questioning silently.
She nodded in response, breathing so heavily that she worried she'd pass out before he even so much as touched her.
They darted as inconspicuously as possible toward the far end of the building and into Mrs. Reynolds' office, which was, thankfully, currently empty since she was on maternity leave. As soon as the door was securely locked, he turned and flashed a predatory grin, stalking toward her like a starving lion ready to devour its prey.
"It's been too long," he murmured as his hungry eyes slowly raked up and down her throbbing body. Her breathing rapidly increased, and all she could do was swallow loudly and nod in agreement.
With his mouth twisted into a wicked grin, he slid his hands around her waist, then glided them down to squeeze her ass, lifting her up onto the desk and pushing the various items on top aside and out of the way.
He lowered his head to her neck and nuzzled her throat with his nose, inhaling deeply, then trailed his lips across her feverish skin. "I've been imagining this all day, baby. I can't wait to bury myself inside you," he whispered, nibbling on her earlobe.
