I took his face between my hands and brought his head down, pressing my lips to his. He growled. I wanted to melt into him. Where I found the strength to step back, I’d never know.
I smiled up at him. “I want you too, Michael. But perhaps it’s for the best that we got interrupted.” I dropped my hands from his face.
“Lily, there you are,” David said as he arrived at my side with Daniel and Val trailing behind him. “Oh, Michael McKenzie, I didn’t know you where here.” He looked from me to Michael and back again.
“My brother, Ruben, owns the place,” Michael told him.
I was surprised because I didn’t know that, not that we’d had time to talk about it, we’d been more interested in touching each other.
David put his arm around me and stared at Michael. God, David was an ass.
“We’re leaving,” David announced.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Michael,” I said, not wanting to leave him.
As David started to drag me out of there, I reached out and briefly squeezed Michael’s hand. I seriously thought he was going to pull me out from under David’s arm.
“Lily, why were you standing in the dark talking to him?” David asked as soon as we walked outside.
“I got lost looking for the bathroom and his brother came to my rescue, just as Michael appeared. He’s my boss, I wasn’t about to ignore him.”
David had a strange look on his face, which I couldn’t decipher. “If you say so.”
We climbed into the taxi which Daniel always managed to find within minutes. Sitting back in the taxi I wondered whether David saw Michael and I dancing and how we were wrapped around each other. If he did he wouldn’t say anything until we arrived home, so at least I would know in an hour. I realized that I wasn’t actually bothered if he had seen us.
Michael made me feel desirable and so damn hot. He only had to look at me and I tingled from head to foot, and that was only knowing him for a short while.
I really couldn’t wait for work tomorrow, so I could be close to him again.
Chapter 14
~~ MICHAEL ~~
Back at home, I’d been unable to get Lily and her sexy body out of my head. She was one mighty fine woman with the longest legs I’d ever seen. The thought of having them wrapped around me and the feel of her full breast in my hand made me rock hard.
In the end I’d hit the shower and used my hand to get some relief so I could actually sleep, but it hadn’t helped any. No sooner had I dried off and climbed into bed, was my cock stiff again.
After a crappy night’s sleep, thanks to Lily and my very stiff body part, I found myself at the office earlier than usual. I walked into the elevator with more enthusiasm than normal, excited because I was closer to seeing Lily. She wasn’t due into work for about an hour and a half, but she would hopefully be there soon.
As I stepped from the elevator I just stood and took in my surroundings while I was unobserved. I could hear one of the receptionists pottering around in the small kitchen. Normally, I would arrive when the reception area was fully staffed, but not today. Usually, the minute I stepped into reception I would have their eyes on me and Jacky fluffing her hair, offering me a lot more than what I ever intended to take.
My brothers and I had worked damn hard over the past ten years to build what we had today. Our father had loaned us the startup capital and, thanks to a gamble, which Lucien took, we became McKenzie Holdings. We then moved into one of the new buildings we were commissioned to build, taking over four floors of prime office space.
For the first time in six years, I was hopeful that I would have someone who could share all this with me and stand by my side. Someone I could trust.
With a sigh, I walked down the corridor and noticed a light on in the office. I pushed open the door and my heart stopped. Lily. God, she was beautiful. She was wearing a red suit, which looked to be fitted just as perfect as the one she’d worn yesterday. I wondered what she had on her feet and whether her shoes were red, or black to match her blouse.
She lifted her head and looked at me, her smile not quite reaching her eyes. Something was wrong.
“Give me two minutes, Lily.” I dashed into my office and deposited my belongings onto my desk, took my jacket off and placed it over my chair.
As I walked back out again, I glanced over at Lily, who was pretending to be busy on the computer, and walked over to the coffee machine to pour us both a cup. “Would you like cream and sugar?”
She looked startled. “Yes, please.” She stood and walked towards me.
I had to count to ten to stop myself from wrapping her in my arms. She was sexy as hell in her outfit and red stilts. Holy hell!
“Lily, come in here please.” She took her coffee from me and followed me into my office. Once we were both inside, I took hold of her elbow and guided her to the sofa.
