Sudden Devotion (4 page)

He loved that he didn’t see shame or embarrassment any longer, hoping it was because he was being so gentle with her. He didn’t want her to feel any amount of regret for her desires.

Just moments ago he was driving her crazy with his dirty talk, and now he wanted to show her nothing but tenderness. Wanting to curl her up in his arms he was about to say something, but her quiet voice stopped him.

“Mitch?” She asked as she played with a button on his shirt, as though she was trying to undo it.

“Yeah, Sara?” He whispered into her ear as his hands continued to caress her.

“Would you like to come over to my apartment tonight?” The nervousness returned to her voice with the question.

Holy crap. Had she really just said that? She was usually so shy with him. Why was she suddenly being so bold? But of course, how do you remain coy when you’ve just let a man come in your mouth?

Up the game a little, Mitch. Leave her wanting more. “I don’t know. What would we do? Would you let me fuck you, Sara?” He reached his hand under her skirt and slid a finger into the drenched folds.

“Mmm, oh yes,” she answered while nuzzling and licking his neck.

“Okay, baby. I’ll come over. You email me with the details, okay?” He couldn’t let her know yet that he already knew exactly where she lived. “Now, as much as I would love for you to sit on my lap for the rest of the day, I’ve got Mr. Jennings waiting.”

She smiled and pulled away and looked a bit sheepish.

“What?” He cocked a brow at her.

“The whole reason I came in here was to give you a fax that just came in on the
Jennings
case. I knew you had a meeting, so I brought it right away, and then I, well, you know.” She looked away from him. “If I hadn’t brought that fax in...” She didn’t finish her thought. Her embarrassment over what she had just done was written all over her face.

“Don’t be embarrassed. You were amazing. You should be proud of how well you did, of how good you made me feel. Okay?” He ran his hands down her arms before giving her a gentle swat on the bottom.

“Okay.” She went to reach for her panties on the desk, but he grabbed her wrist.

“No, don’t put them back on. These are mine now.” He watched her shocked expression. “You go to the bathroom and get cleaned up. I want to know that you’re sitting out there with a bare pussy because of me. And all day long when you feel a draft of air caress that sweet part of you, I want you to think of all the things that you want me to teach you.” He fisted her hair in his hands and pulled her head back. “All of the things! I want to know what gets you hot. I want to know what you’ve never done but are dying to try.”

“Everything?” She whispered the words without even realizing it.

“Everything. I will teach you everything you want to learn and more. Now get back to work, honey. You’ve been a very good girl,” he told her as he pinched her ass.

Sara had to smile when he did it. She had just done something lewd and naughty. He said she did it well, too. She barely could contain her excitement from it. And she was still throbbing just thinking about it.

Sara walked through the main lobby and had to fight a smile when she felt a cool breeze caress her bare skin. She smiled politely as she passed Mr. Jennings sitting on the leather chair as she heard Mitch come up behind her.

“Mr. Jennings. I hope I didn’t keep you long?” Mitch extended out a hand.

Sara heard their voices trail off as she got closer to the ladies’ room. She used a couple of paper towels and wet them in the sink before going into a stall. She lifted one leg on the toilet and cleaned the remnants of her orgasm.

Not being able to contain her joy, she giggled. Oh my God, she thought. What she had done was in complete contradiction of who she was. She acted like a sex-starved maniac. Dropping on her knees like that. And touching herself in front of him. It was crazy. But the best part was that he was coming over tonight, and then she would get to do it again. The minutes would not be able to tick by fast enough. She could hardly wait.

Chapter Three

It was 4:55 and only five minutes until she was off for the day. Sara had put off sending her email to Mitch all day long. She wasn’t sure why. Lord knew she wanted him to come. In more ways than one. She shared a silent laugh with herself at her euphemism. Ignoring the jitters that had consumed her since their office interlude, she opened her email.

Mitch,

1745 Riverside Drive

Apartment
315

7:00

P.S. I’ll make us something to eat.

Sara hit send on the email and felt a million butterflies fluttering around in her stomach. Every time she moved in her chair, she had been all too aware of the fact that she was pantiless. If she swiveled in her chair to reach for something, she would feel a gentle stroke. If she rocked forward on her chair to sit upright at her keyboard, she would feel the pleasing brush of fabric. The different sensations were erotic, and she was getting more excited as every minute passed in anticipation of her upcoming evening with Mitch.

Mitch had walked Mr. Jennings to the door earlier and gave her a lazy wink while he passed her. They had spoken no other words, but twice when he was nearby talking to some of the firm’s other associates, she could sense his eyes on her. The leers had caused her to get hot and her nipples to harden. It was so incredibly inappropriate. She was at work, for God’s sake. To make matters worse, she had to admit that she loved the way he made her feel.

She was about to turn off her computer when a pop-up told her that she had mail. She opened it with a smile when she saw who it was from.

Sara,

Nonsense. I’ll bring dinner. You were much

too good of a girl to have to cook. And make

it 6:30. I won’t be able to wait much longer

than that.

Mitch

Sara deleted the message and shut down her computer. With a permanent smile plastered across her face, she headed home to take a long, hot bubble bath. She wanted to look so good for him that he was left with no choice but to do everything to her that he had promised. Whatever those things were, she wasn’t sure. But the mixed feelings she had of anxiety were quickly overridden by the overwhelming arousal at the memories of earlier that day.

* * * *

Mitch looked around the courtyard before entering his building. He needed to make sure that Sara didn’t see him. He made a mad dash for his door and entered his apartment.

His blood was pounding inside him. He was already getting a hard-on just thinking about what his little play thing might want to learn next. He hadn’t expected her to be so shy and unsure of herself after what he had seen last night. But he was a patient man. He would show her just how incredible she was and all the reasons why she didn’t have to be so bashful. And at the same time, open her up to all sorts of pleasures.

He reached in and turned on his shower before picking up the phone to call Royal Garden for delivery. He ordered a few different meals, not knowing which kind she would like better. After he was done, he stripped off his clothes on the way to the shower and jumped in.

The hot water beating against him only intensified the needs that were building inside him. He couldn’t remember ever being this turned on by a woman before. There were so many things he wanted to teach her. So many pleasures that he wanted to show her.

Turning off the shower, he walked through his apartment naked and reached for the small duffle bag in his closet. He opened it and checked to make sure all of his favorites were still in there. Satisfied that he had everything that he needed, he zipped it back up and set it by the front door. It would do him no good if he left it at home. He couldn’t very well tell her he lived right across the courtyard and he’d be right back.

After perusing his closet, he decided on a pair of jeans and a snug t-shirt. Sara had seemed to enjoy snuggling against his chest earlier, so he decided to go with his strengths. The shirt hugged his broad, muscular chest in all the right places, giving off an effect that he had to arrogantly admit made him look good.

He had thought about shaving but decided that the slight stubble might turn her on. He had been with quite a few women in the past who were rather fond of the five o’clock shadow effect. Mitch had learned from his father at a very young age all of the little things to do that went a long way with women. And if he wanted the women that he was with to be hot for him, then the old adage stood. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

After he had towel dried his hair, he gave it a thorough brushing and headed for the door. Walking outside, he did a quick survey of the courtyard before dashing back out to the parking lot so he could go around through the entrance to her building. He had to laugh at himself. He felt like a teenager sneaking around to get laid.

* * * *

Sara heard the knock at the door and had to stop herself from racing to answer it. Anxiety and anticipation had taken a hold of her, and as she went to the door, she hoped she would at least give the appearance of being calm and collected. But she was surprised when it wasn’t Mitch. Instead, she was met with a young delivery boy holding two bags of what smelled like Chinese food.

“Sara Collins?” The annoyed teenage boy asked her after turning off his iPod.

“Yes, but I didn’t order…” She was interrupted by the sight of Mitch coming up the stairs.

“No, but I did. I have perfect timing, too, if I don’t say so myself.” Mitch handed the kid a fifty-dollar bill and told him to keep the change. Effectively changing the kid’s attitude from annoyed to ecstatic.

When the delivery boy had gone back down the stairs, Sara realized that she was just standing there while he carried two bags of food and a duffle bag. Hmm, she wondered what was in there.

“Sorry. Come in.” She moved out of his way and closed the door behind her after motioning for him to place the bags on the kitchen table. She locked the door and was ready to turn toward him when he pinned her against the door. A rush of fear-laced adrenaline mixed with desire ran through her entire body.

“I’ve missed you, Sara,” Mitch whispered in her ear.

She gasped at the sensation of his hard, muscled body pressed up against the soft contours of hers. “You just saw me a few hours ago.”

He licked her neck up and down. “Ah, yes, but it has been double that time since I came in your mouth.”

She whimpered. She couldn’t help herself. Something about the way he talked dirty to her just drove her insane with lust and need.

“I brought condoms,” he told her in between swipes and swirls of his tongue. “Do I need them?”

She shook her head and breathlessly answered him. “No, I’m on the pill and I’ve only ever been with…” She stopped herself before she said too much. “Well, I’m healthy.” That’s better. Don’t tell him that at twenty-three years old you’ve only been with one man. He’ll think you’re a freak.

“Sara. Are you keeping secrets from me? That’s very naughty. How can we be lovers if you aren’t honest with me, hmm?” His voice was a seductive whisper as he began to nibble on her ear.

“No, I…” She was silenced by his tug on her hair.

“Don’t lie to me. Tell me what you were going to say. You said you’ve only ever been with…what Sara? Finish telling me. Or I will be forced to leave.” He told her matter-of-factly.

She wasn’t sure if she believed that he had any intention of leaving, but she wasn’t sure she was willing to call his bluff and take that chance either.

Her panic at that surprised her. “No, don’t go!”

He smiled at her quick response, begging him not to stay. “Then tell me, honey. Don’t be afraid.”

She shook her head slightly. “I’m afraid if I tell you, you’ll leave anyway,” she whispered, confused by the utter necessity she felt to keep him there.

“Tell me the truth, and I won’t leave. Trust me. There is nothing you can’t tell me.” He told her as he continued his assault on her ear lobe.

Sara closed her eyes. “I’ve only been with a man once.” She winced as the words came out.

He stilled for just a moment. He looked stunned, almost like he was unsure of what she meant. “You mean you’ve only been with one man?”

“Yes, but, it was only once.” She started to cry silently from the embarrassment. “I’ve only had sex one time. I’m not an experienced woman, Mitch.”

“Shh. Hey, hey now. Stop that. What’s with the tears, honey?” He turned her to face him.

“I feel so stupid. I’m twenty-three years old, and I’ve only had sex once,” she said as she covered her face in her hands. Why had she told him? He wouldn’t want her now.

“Stupid? But you are so beautiful. I bet there are men begging for a chance to be with you. Men that are just dying for a taste of your sweet pussy.” The words were naughty, but his voice was like a gentle caress.

She shook her head. “I’ve always been too shy around men. When they flirt, I don’t flirt back.” She was looking at him now, praying that he understood.
