His skin reddened and his eyes darkened as he gulped, leaning in. “Yes, ma’am,” he said, running his eyes across my lips and along my skin so that I burned.

His eagerness made me smile. It was as if he wanted to reach across the table and pull me in his lap. There was that throb again from earlier.

“Is Anthony here?” I asked, taking my shoes off.

“Let me check,” he said, reaching for the phone. I moved my foot under the table and underneath the leg of his pants, caressing his ankle. He kept his eyes on me as he spoke to Anthony. “Guess who’s here,” he said. “And she’s requesting an orgy in the file room.”

Smiling at him, I removed my foot from his ankle and stroked the inside of his leg. His eyes registered delight and shock as he narrowed his eyes playfully at me, almost winking while he smiled.

“Is Jared there?” he asked. “Yeah, she wants to see him too. Meet us in his office. She wants to surprise him.” He bit his lip and groaned when my foot stroked his member through his pants, hanging the phone up. “Damn, where did you learn that?” he asked, reaching to grab my foot before I could pull it away.

I giggled. “Movies,” I said.

He grinned, pressing into the sole of my feet with his thumb, massaging the ball of my feet and the instep. “You’re a good student,” he murmured.

“Aren’t I?” I groaned, tempted to throw my head back and moan out loud but reminding myself at the last minute that my foot was under the table for a reason.

He grinned, releasing me. The need to throw myself in his arms and have him ravage me made me put my shoe back on and head out the door to Jared’s office as soon as possible.

I was approaching Jared’s office when I saw him staring at the screen, working. Instantly, I was hit with memories of this morning on my living room floor, and a smile climbed up my face. Just then Jared saw me looking at him through his glass wall and it felt like time froze for a bit until I bumped into Anthony, who had come from the other direction and was opening Jared’s door for me.

“Hey there, stranger.” Anthony smiled down at me and his gray eyes had my pulse going crazy.

“Hey, you.” I smiled. He let his eyes move over my body and I could tell that he was undressing me in his head. I blushed red as he stepped aside to let me in the office, coming in after me.

Chapter 34

Jared

Thinkofthedevil…Well, she wasn’t the devil for me anymore, although she did wicked things to my body. Our eyes connected and blood rushed toward my dick instantly. Yet, somehow, my stomach started feeling queasy when I realized she was coming to me with Mario and Anthony. I wasn’t sure what to think and that paranoid voice visited me again.Told you she was trouble. You fell into her trap. Now, she’s here to really take you down. Using your best friends too.

Nausea competed with desire as I watched her approach my desk, smiling at me. “You’re not the only one who can pop up at my place of work for a quickie, Mr. Crawford,” she said, almost whispering.

A breath rushed from me in relief. Maybe it was going to take me some more time to fully let go and trust that she wasn’t out to get me, but for now, I loved what I was hearing. I looked toward my door and saw that it was locked. Smiling up at her and leaning back in my chair, I studied her body in that sleeveless cotton button-up shirt tucked into loose-legged black trousers. Her hair was free around her shoulders now and she’d put on some lipstick, which I hadn’t seen her wear in all the time she was at court.

“Is that what this is?” I asked.

“What else would it be?” she asked.

I looked from her to Mario and Anthony, who were looking at her as if they wanted to eat her up on the spot, and the memory of the first time I’d fucked her was bright in my mind. “Looks like this is gonna be more than just a quickie,” I said.

“You have great observational skills, Jared.” She leaned against my desk. “Don’t you want some more of me?” she asked with a wicked smile.

“What’s the matter? Still can’t get enough of me?” I asked, flashing back to this morning.

“Not yet,” her voice rasped. “Why don’t you meet us in the file room?”

Damn. I was at work and still had quite a bit to get done. But there was a privilege that came with being your own boss,. The idea of watching her get fucked, get warmed for me to fuck her, to see her overcome with too much pleasure to handle, was hardening me as I sat here.

“Okay.” I smiled. “But!”

She’d started heading toward the door. She spun around with questioning brows. “But?” she asked.

“Let me go in there first. Give me ten minutes before you come. I’ll pretend you’ve just come in and asked me for something and I’m going to retrieve a file. Mario will come with you to look for me. And Anthony can give us ten minutes before he comes,” I said.

“What the heck, why am I last?” Anthony asked.

“Because I said so,” I said, walking toward the door.
