An hour later Erin still felt like a total mess. She had managed to adjust her clothes and make-up, but she still looked like a woman who had only recently fallen out of the bed after a night of extensive lovemaking. It didn't help much either that she knew the rumours had spread like fire in dried grass.
Everywhere she went the women were giggling and looking at her as they whispered among themselves. She had even dropped going to lunch and settled instead for a dry sandwich from a machine in the lobby. A total downfall as far as she was concerned, but she could not bear to listen to all the giggles and whisperings as the entire staff witnessed her humiliation.
Instead she only left her office as seldom as she could. Oh well, in a few weeks time it would all be forgotten -- she hoped, and someone else would be the victim of the gossips. In the meantime she would have to make due and try to ignore it as best she could, she thought as she walked quickly around the corner and headed for the printer.
Smack! A hand had smacked her bottom and she turned around in anger, holding on to the affronted part.
"You! How dare you, you creep. Stay away from me!"
"Now, honey, you know you like a good clapping once in a while," Cade said smugly. "I specifically remember one hot encounter in a mountain lodge and you..."
The rest of his sentence disappeared in a lot of mumbling as she quickly raised her hand and held it plastered to his mouth in order to shut him up. He immediately took advantage of the situation and sneaked his arms around her waist. She felt his warm tongue emerge from between his lips and licking her fingers leisurely and temptingly. She quickly removed her hand as if she had been burned but still found herself locked into his hard embrace.
"What do you say to take an early evening, eh? Have dinner together and spend the dessert at your place?" He bent his head closer to her ear as he continued in a deep murmur. "I know a position we haven't tried yet which I'm sure you'll enjoy as much as I would."
"Let go of me," Erin growled so low she hoped no one would notice.
"Not yet. Not before you give me the correct answer."
"No, I prefer to have dinner on my own. Besides I have an appointment with one of my lovers this evening."
"A lover, eh?"
"Yes, one of many," she snarled at him. "Now, let go." She tried to wiggle her way out of his grip, but instead found that he held her tighter and slowly rubbed his pelvis against her stomach. She could feel his hard cock against her stomach. The warmth from his body seeped through her clothes and she felt him harden as she struggled to get away. Instead he took a better grip and whispered to her.
"You don't have any lovers, honey. Apart from me, that is."
"What would you know about that? Of course I have lovers. I prefer having two at a time. One man simply doesn't have the stamina to keep up with me."
"What you have is a sense of humour, and I like that. Now, how about that dinner?"
"As I said, I have other plans," Erin said louder now as she became more impatient. Then realised they had an audience and lowered her voice. "Now go off and play somewhere else!"
"Not this time," Cade said smilingly and suddenly let go of her waist. The loss of his heat came so sudden she barely had time to register he had let her go. But before she managed to do more than simply blink at him, he bent downwards and grabbed her waist in his hands again and quickly lifted her onto his right shoulder and started walking toward his temporary office.
"What are you doing? Let me down this instant!" Erin shouted and started hitting his ribs while trying to wiggle herself off his shoulder. He put a large hand on her bottom to still her and continued walking, accompanied by the laughter from the audience around them.
"Relax, honey. I know you're horny but if you'll just wait a little longer I will find us some privacy."
"I don't want any privacy!" Erin yelled and hit him hard in his kidneys.
"Ouch, don't be so impatient, darling. Just wait a little longer." And with that last statement he strode down the hallway and into his temporary office where he slammed the door shut. Placing her down gently on the couch, he grabbed a hold on her hands just as she tried to punch him in the face.
"You bastard!" she yelled. "How will I ever be able to face my workmates after this? It's totally humiliating."
"Well, we can always come to an agreement," Cade said persuasively.
"What sort of agreement? I'm not whoring for you if that's what you think." His face frowned before he collected himself and put on the annoying smile again.
"All I was thinking about was having dinner together and perhaps go to a movie? Simply spending some time together."
"And for that you will do
what
exactly?"
"Why don't you ask me what I will
not
do? Right now I have a mind to fuck you against that door over there, and I'm sure it wouldn't take much to persuade you. Or perhaps on that cosy little sofa you're currently sitting on. I'm sure I can come up with a position that would make you come so hard you won't be able to walk for a few hours."
She quickly got up from the couch as if her buttocks were burning and moved a few steps away from him. No, it would probably not take much persuasion. Especially considering that he had almost done the exact thing only a few hours ago. She still felt dazed even after the hours that had passed. She really had to try to maintain her calm when dealing with this man. Only, he could get her fired up so very easily, and the speed in which she turned from anger to lust was almost scaring her. But right now she needed the anger.
"You're completely insane, is what I think. Do you seriously believe I would have anything more to do with you? As if the last couple of weeks haven't given me ample proof of what you have to offer?"
"So you think you have tried it all, is that it?"
Erin refused to answer, only adjusted her clothes again and started for the door.
"Hey, no need to run away that quickly." He turned and grabbed her arms again, before nudging her back to the couch and leaning her back over the armrest. "Now that I've finally got you where I want you." She felt like she was floating and nothing beside his hands kept her standing.
