day?”
“Tiresome day.” He lifted the can to his lips. “Have
you seen Trevor? He was supposed to leave some stuff for me in the office, but
I didn’t find anything.”
“Haven’t seen him. Maybe Joel has. He’s been here
longer than me.” Roxy went off to find the other bartender and came back
without answers. “Sorry. If he comes in, I’ll tell him you’re looking for him.”
Micah nodded and grabbed his Coke. Halfway to his
office, his cell phone rang and he reached for it without looking at the
caller-id. “Bosk.”
“I know it sounds like a crazy request but I need to
see some financial information on the business. Bank statements and that kind
of thing.”
He smiled at the sound of Kristin’s voice. “I’m at the
club about to leave and head in the opposite direction of your house. Can you
come by to get them?”
“Can you promise I won’t be forced to do something
against my will?”
He frowned. “I can always promise that.”
“Good. Last night you said the next time I came, you’d
fuck me. I’m not into that.”
He sighed. “I promise nothing will happen unless you
want it to.”
“Fine. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”
He disconnected and stared at the far wall. He rarely
ever tried this hard to get a woman who wasn’t into the scene. Maybe with
Kristin, it was because he couldn’t take her words as her true belief. She’d
only speculated what it was about instead of actually knowing. He wanted her to
know, and then decide.
He made his way to the front and waited for her.
Not much later she arrived, dressed in the same outfit
he’d left her in which was jeans and a white button-down shirt. He couldn’t
help wondering if she’d put on panties.
“I see the rules now.” She pointed at the chart off to
the side. “I missed them last night.”
“Not very smart.” He glanced over to the bar and saw
his staff staring. “I told everyone last night that you were mine. Unless you
want questioning, you should probably act like it.”
“Oh? How does your woman act?”
He pulled her to him and leaned in, inches from her
lips. “Like she can’t get enough of my cock.”
His hand slid down her back and pressed her against
his crotch. Kristin gasped and he took the opportunity to kiss her. Her lips
were soft and warm. As his tongue delved between them, his cock pressed tighter
against his pants. How had he kept from kissing this woman for so long? He
pulled back and met her eyes then cupped her ass and lifted her slightly. The
action brushed his cock against her even more. She sucked in a breath.
“The papers are in my office.” The last thing he
wanted to do was work. Fucking her up against the wall sounded pretty damn good
at the moment. He’d gone from zero to sixty faster than a Lamborghini.
She nodded slowly and he let her go. The office seemed
so damn far away and he had an aching hard-on trapped inside leather pants. He craved
the release, was seconds away from demanding it.
Once they were locked in his office, Kristin took a
seat in front of his desk and waited while he got the files for her.
“Quit fidgeting,” he said, unlocking the filing
cabinet.
“What was that back there?” She pointed a thumb over
her shoulder.
“Show.”
“It sure didn’t feel like a show.”
He pulled out a file. “What did it feel like?”
“Real. Very, very real.” She paused and met his eyes.
“You promised.”
“I promised no one would force you to do anything you
don’t want to do.” He reached down to adjust himself, though it didn’t help
matters much. “Here is the file.”
She took it and he stood. “I guess I should go.”
He watched her stand and noticed her discomfort. “I
figured you would have put on panties after I left.”
“What?”
“You’re uncomfortable because you’re wet. If I had to
guess, the seam of your jeans is brushing your clit, driving you higher with
each move, yet not quite reaching what you want to achieve. I can
