He was right. And when she glimpsed the wounded expression on his face, she instantly felt ashamed of her behavior. It wasn’t fair to hold something that was beyond his control against him. She blew out a weary
breath. “I know, and I’m sorry for my comment. But honestly Matthew, I have no idea what happened to those files. I really can’t help you—”“Can’t or won’t?” He asked tightly.“Both,” she said quietly, and stepped around him to head toward the door.She froze when his hands clamped around her arms and he dragged her up against his hard body, her back brushing against his chest. A tiny shiver raced down her spine when she felt the distinct outline of his cock through her clothing. She instantly pushed out her hips to put some space between their bodies.“I can’t let you walk out of here—,” he whispered into her ear, and she had to repress a shudder when his warm breath fanned across the sensitive skin of her ear, causing tiny goose bumps to break out across her flesh. “According to company policy, if an employee quits and anything,from physical property to information, goes missing then I have to reportit to the authorities—”“What?” She pulled out of his grasp and spun around to face him, her eyes flashing with disbelief. “Are you saying, you think I took those files?”“You were angry. Who could blame you if you wanted to sabotage the company—”She drew back as if he’d struck her, unable to believe his words. “I didn’t do anything with those files. When I left Thursday they were here,” she cried, pointing at her computer.His eyes remained cold, and his expression impassive, as he stared back at her. She could tell from the look on his face that he had his doubts.“I want to believe you, Lana, but the files have somehow disappeared. I don’t want to have you arrested, but I have no choice—”She stiffened as an icy chill crept through her veins. “Arrested?Matthew, I did not take those files.” She could not believe this was happening. She had worked tirelessly for Renault, only to be screwed outof a promotion and now accused of corporate theft? She had never felt so helpless in her entire life.She held her breath when Matthew tilted his head to the side as if he were calculating some mathematic formula silently. When he abruptly fixed his gaze upon her, she stilled.“I don’t want to see you arrested, all I want is to be ready for that meeting in two weeks. So, I am willing to keep quiet about this if you help me do just that. Help me put together this account in time.”She released a sigh of relief. She had absolutely no desire to spend any time talking with the authorities trying to convince them of her innocence. If he wanted her to help him with the New Zealand account then she could do that, which is exactly what she said.“I didn’t take those files, but I do understand your position. I am willing to assist you with the account,” she murmured reluctantly. Hell, she didn’t want to do any such thing. But she also didn’t feel like going to jail for corporate theft either.At her words, a smile of relief spread across his handsome face. “Good—” he started but she quickly held up her hand to silence him. “Before you get excited, you need to understand that this account took me three months to do and many weekends and eighteen hour days. If youwant it ready in two weeks be prepared to spend all your time doingnothing but this.”He folded his arms across his chest and gave her a genuine smile, but she swore she glimpsed a spark of triumph twinkle in his eyes. “Have no worries. I have cleared my calendar to work on nothing else but this.For the next two weeks, I am all yours.”Matt nearly laughed aloud when Lana blinked at him for several tense seconds as if she was trying to ferret out the deeper meaning of his words. He could tell the moment she’d brushed his comment aside, as if it was a joke, by the subtle shake of her head. He wanted to grab hold of her and shake her. She was a brilliant woman, but for some reason shealways chose to play dumb when it came to his obvious flirting and veiledcomments.He knew she saw the look in his eyes and understood the meaning of his words, and yet she pretended as if she didn’t.“We need to start on this now,” he said moving toward the door to her old office. “I will grab an extra chair from—”“Oh no. I’m not working here on a Saturday anymore. Again, you forget I am no longer an employee.” She pulled out a notepad from her desk drawer and like two days before she scribbled something down for him. “Here is my address.&rdquo
Despite the innocence of her words, he was forced to gulp down a deep breath when tingles of pleasure shot straight to his cock. He wanted to help himself to something alright, but it was certainly not down that hallway.They rounded a sharp corner and walked into a large home office that rivaled her space at work. And like her work office, Lana had everything from a fax machine to a paper shredder tucked away in a neat and tidy fashion. He bit back a grin. She was just so organized. Hewondered what it would take to rumple her feathers and her carefullyordered life.“You can put everything right there.” She gestured to a sturdy glass coffee table on the other side of her desk.He nodded and began to pull everything from the bag he’d carriedinside. Flipping open his laptop, he took a seat on the couch behind thetable. He sat there, his lips twisting into a slight frown as he stared back at the computer screen. He didn’t r
Her eyes rounded and she flattened her hands against his chest to push him away. “What are you—”She should have known from the devilish gleam in his eyes that he was up to something, but when he dipped his head to press his lips against hers, there was no longer any doubt.She gasped in surprise as she stood there frozen, but that was a big mistake. As soon as she parted her lips, he swept inside, his tongue teasing the moist flesh of her mouth as he stroked it around, coaxing her to surrender. He didn’t have to wait long. Shocks of warm pleasure skated across her skin and warmth pooled at her hot center as every nerve in her body crackled with energy. She closed her eyes, twisted her arms behind his neck and simply melted against him as her body disintegrated into one big mass of jelly. Wet heat gushed from inside her to dampen her panties when he cupped her ass and drew her closer to the temptation of his lengthening cock. A sigh of pleasure tore
“Shit.” Lana scowled at her computer screen when she realized she’d spent the last five minutes inputting the wrong data into the wrong column of her Excel spreadsheet. She jerked off her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose.The events from the night before kept replaying in her head like a broken record. Not only had she admitted to Matthew that she was available but then she’d promised to go out on a date with him as soon ashe returned from New Zealand in three weeks. He wanted to take her outsooner but she’d reminded him that if they were going to finish the account in time for his trip to New Zealand that they just didn’t have the time to spare. He’d seen the wisdom of her advice and agreed—although very reluctantly, but not before she promised to give him a rain check.“What is wrong with you? How did you allow a twenty-nine year old to browbeat you into a date of all things?”She shoo
The sharp sound of something breaking apart instantly startled him awake. He blinked for several seconds until his eyes adjusted to the darkness. It took him another few moments to remember where he was. When his foggy mind began to clear he instantly became alert. Lana.He shot off the couch and crept around the corner. He squinted his eyes against the brightness of the light from the hallway, but was grateful for it because it gave him a clear path to the stairs that led up to the second floor where she slept.The creaking of a door startled him, and he bounded up the stairs, two at a time, his fear for Lana dogging his steps. When he reached the second floor he struggled to once again adjust to the darkness. But as soon as he did, he saw from the corner of his eyes a shadowy figure moving slowly. With silent steps he crept in that direction.His sneakers dug into the plush carpet, muffling each step he took, as he silently stalked the figure moving away from him. H
She wasn’t sure if it was his kisses or the revelation that shocked her, probably both.“Christ, Lana. I want you,” he murmured against her skin. “I’ve wanted you from the day I first met you,” he whispered as he skimmed his hand up her body to tug the other strap down.She struggled to wrap her mind around his words. She had always been polite, but aloof in her dealings with him, and yet he claimed he’d harbored an attraction to her for two years. The sincerity of hisdeclaration boosted her confidence, but she still could not shake the slightdoubt that nagged her.“Matthew,” she rasped out when he moved to push her gown down her body. She shook her head and clutched the thin material at herbreasts just before it could slip to the floor. She swallowed hard and forced herself to meet his searching gaze.“I—I,” she struggled to say the words. She was a tough as nails corporate
He quickened his pace, pumping his finger in and out of her until her juices poured from her cunt. “Yes, yes, yes,” she moaned wildly as she writhed against the floor.He devoured her pussy with his mouth, while he finger fucked her hard. She spread her legs wider, and tugged wildly at his hair. She was so, so close. She clenched her eyes shut, her head rolling back as her orgasm rocketed through her, forcing a sharp cry from her lips“That’s it. Come for me Lana. Come all over my face,” he groaned against her pussy and what little control she had left completely shattered at his words.She clamped her thighs against his head and screamed his name over and over, her body shaking with each tremor that coursed through her.“Matthew,” she moaned out as her climax slowly began to subside, tiny quakes shooting though her limp body. She loosened her grip on his head to tunnel her fingers through his soft hair, tousling it in se
“Oh God, Lana,” he rasped from above her when she came again, her pussy gripping him like a tight fist as it coated his dick with her warm juices. He didn’t move a muscle as she screamed out her orgasm, her body clenching and unclenching around his engorged length. He couldn’t move if he wanted to, her grip was so tight, but he also didn’t dare, for fear that he would spill his seed without so much as a second thrust inside her tight sheath.“Wrap your legs around my waist,” he croaked out when the tremors that racked her started to subside. She did, at the same time twisting her arms behind his back, to cling to him. He lowered himself against her, gripped her ass in his hands and slowly began to ride her.She was beautiful, soft and lush like a woman should be. Her thick thighs cushioned him as he pumped his hips back and forth to tunnel inside her. A deep groan fell from his lips and he closed his eyes to just savor the feel of
