Shit. “You need to stay away from Sebastian. He goes through women as fast as people go through bread.”
“That’s a new one,” she chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in your brother.”
I couldn’t look away from her. She was standing so close to me. I reached out to her and my hand caressed her face. She turned into my hand and kissed my palm. I put my cup down and moved closer. I took hold of her hand and laced my fingers through hers. My blood heated at her close proximity.
My cock was ready to burst free and wouldn’t stop twitching. God, with one touch I would come.
“Michael, what’s happening?” she whispered.
I sucked some much needed air into my lungs and moved my hand from her face, then rested my forehead against hers. “I don’t know…. but you need to go home. Now.” I stepped back from her, which was the hardest thing I’d ever done. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Lily.” I watched the woman I wanted more than anything, leave my office. Knowing she was going home to the bastard who didn’t deserve her, bothered me more than it should.

LILY
What was happening to me? All I’d wanted was to stay in the office with Michael. He pulled at my heartstrings like no one ever had. He’d looked so alone, standing in his office, wanting me. I would say he found it just as difficult to let me go as it was for me to leave. I found myself really looking forward to tomorrow and seeing him again. Now I only had to worry about David.
David. What the hell had happened to our relationship? It was actually driving me crazy, trying to put my finger on when everything started to change. I couldn’t say it was sudden, but more like a gradual, steady decline.
Five months ago, we’d gone to his boss’s home for the weekend, along with some other colleagues who were working on a particular contract. The weekend had gone well, and gradually since then our relationship had started to disintegrate. Now I cringed whenever he came near me, which was so not good.
I briefly rested my head against my apartment door, dreading what I was going to be walking into when I opened it.
With a sigh, I put the key in the lock and opened the door, only to be greeted by dark silence.
Standing in the apartment, I closed and locked the door, then walked towards the lounge and stopped dead at the sight that greeted me. I was left totally speechless.
David was naked, sat in the chair, with his hand wrapped around his cock, which looked to be fully erect. I couldn’t move my eyes. He’d never done anything like that before.
“How about giving me that sexy mouth?”
Oh god, was he for real?
While I stood speechless, his breathing started to change as he sped up his movement with his fist.
“David.” I really didn’t know what to say or do. “What….”
“Hell, babe, I’ve never known you to be speechless before.” He laughed. “I’m so close to finishing. You going to come over here and suck me off?”
“Like hell. Your fist seems to be working just fine.” Rather proud of myself, I walked to the bedroom and quickly grabbed my jazz pants and a top, then locked myself in the bathroom.
I turned the shower on and quickly stripped, climbed in, then finally gave in to the tears that had been threatening to fall for weeks.
My mother always used to say a good cry did the world of good and made you feel better. I really hoped it did.
I still couldn’t get over walking in on him jerking off. I didn’t think he could ever surprise me. Well, he sure had.
My mind jumped back to the tender moment in Michael’s office. I’d wanted him so badly, and still did. My body burned for him and that was after only knowing him for less than twenty-four hours. His shaft had looked a lot bigger than David’s, and yes, I did look when I was leaving his office. Michael had been fully aroused, if the thick bulge outlined in his trousers was anything to go by. Now if it had been Michael sitting in the chair naked asking for my mouth, I sure as hell wouldn’t have had a problem with that. I was aroused to high heaven after that thought.
My shower finished, I stepped out and dried off. I threw the towel into the laundry basket and pulled my clothes on. I sat on the toilet seat and tried to decide how I needed to handle the scene with David, which had left me stunned and embarrassed.
We were due to meet some friends of ours, Daniel and Val, at our usual wine bar in about three hours, which was the last thing I needed tonight. I’d prefer to crawl into bed and wake up tomorrow when it was time to head into the office.
