Bossy (An Office Romance #1) (4 page)

Chapter Six

It was another late night in the office working on the Lowe case and every single time I touched my desk, or even looked up all I could see was Sadie leaning over my desk in nothing but a thong asking me to spank her ass until she came.

“Christ!” I growled in anger. Three days into our agreement and I was walking around with a boner every fucking day, that and my attitude had been piss poor lately. Every second of the day I was thinking about her, what she was doing, who she was with? if she was out finding another man, a man to replace me when our week was up?

I slammed my fist down on the desk in anger, I had the entire world in the palm of my hands and I was worried about a girl that I screwed once.

It’s more than that.
My subconscious countered back and boy was it right. It was so much more than that.

Never in the twenty-six years, I had been on this Earth had I wanted a woman as badly as I wanted Sadie Walker. There was something about her, the way she moved without a care in the world, the way she acted, and the front she put up when she really wanted to say something but bit her tongue. She was the opposite of everything I wanted and needed in my life right now but I had to have her.

My cock was still stiff, and my desk was still littered with papers reminding me that I still hadn’t gotten shit for work done.

Then it hit me, was it possible that I wanted to date her, that I wanted more than just one week with her? Dating had never been my thing but then again neither had the offer I made Sadie.

“Mr. Jefferson sir, is there anything else you need from me?” Dawn’s high pitched voice met my ears and I looked up from my desk. I had never screwed Dawn not because I didn’t want too, or because the offer was never extended but because she was my assistant and when it came to assisting me with things I couldn’t have sex interfere.

Still, she was beautiful, a fine rear specimen, but she wasn't Sadie, and that was all I could feel in the confines of my chest as I stared at her.

“Sir?” She questioned again, there was an uneasy look on her face.

"Goodness, Dawn it's nine PM what the hell are you still doing here?" I ran a hand through my hair in frustration realizing not only what time it was but that I still wasn't getting the fucking work done that I needed too.

She sheepishly finished walking into the office as if she was nervous about something. “You asked me to finish sorting the files for all the cases that you had done last year. There was a lot of misfiled paperwork so I went back and sorted it all out so that there won’t be any trouble in finding something you need for a case.”

I smiled, "Thank you so much, Dawn. What would I ever do without you?" I exhaled a breath and eased back into my leather office chair.

I was all out of sorts, and there was no coming back from Sadie Walker that was for sure.

“You seem tense? Is everything alright?" Concern laced Dawn's words. I tilted my head at her in confusion not because I didn't understand what it was she was asking, but because I didn't understand why she was asking?

I had been through far worse tense moments with her by my side and she never cared to ask then? So why now?

“Just lots of work and not enough hours to get it done.” If she thought I would tell her about Sadie and our agreement she had another thing coming. I had made a promise to Sadie that I wouldn’t break.

A short burst of laughter escaped her and before I knew it she was across the room, her ass against my desk, right where I had placed Sadie’s ass a few days ago.

"Boy do I know how that is…" She trailed off. Things were going in a direction that I didn't like and just as I was about to say something to her she placed her hand on mine. The gesture was intimate, too intimate.

“I think you need to leave Dawn.” My voice was stern as I stared her in the eyes. Fear reflected back at me and I didn’t understand why.

“I… I just wanted to help ease some tension.” Her bottom lip quivered and it looked as if she was going to cry. Immediately I felt like an asshole, but at the same time felt like I did the right thing.

"I won't fuck you, Dawn. You're my assistant. It's not happening." I promised. I was irritated and that irritation only grew as I watched Dawn remove her ass from my desk and head in the direction of the door.

“I’m sorry sir, I’ll see you tomorrow.” She sniffled. Was it weird that I felt like a prick for not letting her fuck me? At the end of the day she wasn’t the woman I wanted, and in no way shape or form would I betray Sadie like that. Still was it the fact I had screwed most of the other ladies in the office that made her assume I would fuck her on my desk.

The second I heard the glass door shut, I walked over to the bookcase on the far side of the room where I hid my Bourbon. I twisted the cap off the bottle and brought the neck to my lips. 

The sweet aroma filtered into my nostrils. Maybe I could drink Sadie out of my memory? I pinched the bridge of my nose, taking a deep gulp from the bottle letting the Bourbon burn a path down my throat.

You love her.

The thought popped into my head a deep ache piercing me straight through the eye. I couldn’t love her. I couldn’t love someone that I didn’t know hardly anything about. Could I?

Could I really love Sadie Walker? Could I want more from her than a random hook up?

Could I want a life with her? I didn’t know, and all of this was just too much to be thinking about right now. I took the bottle with me back to my desk and slammed down into the chair, chugging the bottle like I was back in college doing a keg stand.

My fingers gripped the glass bottle tightly, as the thoughts of Sadie lingered in my mind. No amount of alcohol could remove a woman like her from my memory. There was no coming back from the deal we had made. I may have been the one to write up to the agreement but it was Sadie that had signed our fates as one.

I looked down at my IPhone sitting on the corner of my desk. I hadn’t texted Sadie or messaged her once but I knew I needed to tell her how I felt and I had felt this way for awhile doing whatever I could to hide it. I did whatever I could to avoid her because I knew if I didn’t we would be right where we were. I was merely avoiding the inevitable.

Grabbing my phone I skimmed through the contacts stopping once I found her number. I had taken the number down when I was going through applications months ago, never messaging or calling her until this moment.

Cameron: All I can think about is you.

I typed the message out and questioned sending it for a moment, then as my finger slipped over the send key I applied a small amount of pressure to the key and the message sent. I brought the bottle to my lips once again, a smile pulling at my lips. This woman had destroyed me.

She had done what countless other woman had tried to do and she wasn’t even aware that she had done it.

I was owned by her.

Chapter Seven

I love you. His lips skimmed mine, and then landed against my cheek. My insides melted into a pool of molten lava. The beat of my heart thumped loudly in my ears. I was feeling things for this man that I had never felt for anyone else in my entire life.

“What would you say if I told you I loved you?” Every hair on my body stood on end, excitement, and anxiety coursed through my veins.

“I’d say you’re fucking crazy, but that I love you too.” I couldn’t believe the words had actually been said out loud, much less that they had come from me. The look of pleasure that appeared in Cameron’s eyes made me want to drop to my knees and take him into my mouth, to prove to him over and over again the type of love I felt for him even if I myself wasn’t aware of how deep those feelings ran.

His fingers threaded through my hair, his nails scraping against my scalp as he forced our foreheads against one another's.

“I’m crazy about you Sadie. Fucking crazy. The feelings I have for you I’ve never felt for anyone else. I’ve never experienced love Sadie. I’ve never felt that racing feeling run through my body every time I see someone. I’ve never fucking wanted to drop down to my knees and eat a pussy like I want to yours.” His honesty, and dirty words caused a shiver to run down my spine.

“I want you. I want you all the time. In me. On me. I want to be with you.” The words I spoke came from the heart and I could feel each one resonating through me as I stared deeply into his eyes as I spoke.

I was consumed by this man, owned by him, and there wasn’t a moment in my life that I wanted to go forward with, without him.

“Good, because I’m never leaving. I’m never letting you run. Not now. Not ever. You’re mine Sadie Walker. Mine.” His teeth sank into the bottom of my lip as he thrust his hips into my core. All I could feel was him, his body taking control of mine. All I felt was him, all I tasted was him. All that mattered was him.

“Sadie, do you want to go with us to
Jose’s Mexican
for lunch with the rest of the staff?” Maddie the new intern asked, ripping me from my erotic dream far too soon. I glared at her for a moment, before adjusting my facial expression.

“Uhh thank you but no. I'm swamped with paperwork. Sorry." I smiled but I could tell Maddie wasn’t buying it.

"It's buy one get one Margaritas, Sadie." Maddie smiled trying to convince me to leave the office.

"Drink some for me. I'm swamped, Maddie. I have to get this paperwork in by the end of the day, and although Mexican sounds great I just don’t have the time.” Trying to sound down about something when you really weren’t was harder than expected. I was lying through my teeth and I’m sure Maddie could see that that's exactly why she would make a great lawyer someday. 

Maddie rolled her eyes, as if she didn’t believe me, “Whatever. I’ll bring you something back then.” She shot over her shoulder before walking away, to gather more employees for lunch.

With Maddie out of the way, I lifted my eyes to Cameron’s office door. The need to be close to him was consuming me. I needed to be near him, by body begged for his touch and my heart pleaded to hear his voice.

“I need those paper’s stat…” Then I heard his voice and my entire body lit up like a Christmas tree. I was drawn to him my eyes honing in on him across the office. Why I hadn’t realized he was out on the office floor I didn’t know, it probably had something to do with Maddie.

Cameron's eyes found mine in the crowd of workers, and a ghost of a smile lingered on his lips. He looked good enough to eat today and I wanted nothing more than to sink my teeth into him.

“Yes sir. I’m working on it.” Garret the employee he was talking to responded. Cameron lingered at his desk for a moment before he headed back into his office, a look on his face that told me I should leave my panties at the door.

I fidgeted in my seat, unable to focus on a damn thing but that man. My thoughts since the day he had called me into office always revolved around him. Then his text message from the night before where he told me all he could think about was me, made me wonder how much he missed me? What he was doing, and who he was with? Was he thinking about me too? Touching himself at the thought of me naked next to him? 

“You sure you don’t want to come Sadie?” Maddie’s sultry voice met my ears as she called out from across the office. A large group of our co-workers were huddled around her.

“I’m sure.” I shot her down again. I knew what it was that I would be
doing,
better yet
who
I would be doing during lunch.

“Your loss.” She shrugged heading towards the elevator. Everyone she had gathered from our floor followed behind her leaving merely a handful of us behind.

I sat at my desk for a few moments, waiting for the perfect time to pounce. My legs wobbled, and my belly filled with butterflies as my heels clicked against the marble floor.

I stopped just outside his door, there was no one watching me from what I could see. Should I knock or just walk in?

“She’ll never find out Cameron…” I had pushed the door open a smidge, catching the words just as they left Dawn’s mouth.

“Catch what?” I pushed the door open all the way, making myself known. I couldn’t unsee the things that were going on right before me. Dawn was stripped down to nothing but her blouse standing directly in front of Cameron. The man I had wanted to claim as my own up until thirty seconds ago.

"Sadie…" I could hear the fear in Cameron's voice, and the grief-stricken look on his face. Dawn turned around, her legs spread wide open, a gleeful smile on his face. I could feel the tears stinging at the back of my eyes, but refused to let these two people see that pain they had caused me.

“Oh for the love of God. You didn’t actually think he only slept with one of us did you?” Dawn’s words were as bad as a slap to my cheek. The pain of what she said ripped through me.

“Shut the fuck up Dawn. You’re such a liar.” The growl that ripped from Cameron’s throat vibrated through me. He stood from his desk with purpose as he plucked Dawn’s skirt up off the floor and flung it at her.

“You’re fucking fired Dawn. Fired. Get the fuck out.” He ordered and I wanted to believe that he meant the things he was saying to Dawn that he was really firing her but a part of me, the part of me that I didn’t want to pay any attention to told me that maybe it was all an act. Maybe I was the one being played, and that hurt more than anything else he could say.

“Don’t stop on my account.” I held a hand up, turning on my heels. I could hear Cameron swearing under his breath but I didn’t care. All I could feel was the pain of discovering that I wasn’t the one, but merely another one. Another bimbo that fell into the trap, that thought maybe she could be loved by the millionaire.

“Sadie!” Cameron’s voice cracked as he scurried from his office on unsteady feet, drawing the attention of the few employees left behind in the office. Except it was too late, I had already grabbed my purse and keys from my desk. I had no intention of staying here and looking like a fool in front of everyone. The way Dawn smiled at me as she was stripped bare in front of the man I possibly loved would forever remain in my mind.

“Don’t.” I could feel the tears threatening to come and I knew then I needed to get away from him. I needed to go home and shower, and try and wash away the dirtiness that lingered against my skin.

Cameron’s shoulders sagged as he stood before me, not moving, or flinching even as I pressed the button for the elevator. Unsaid words, feelings, and pain filled the space between us as I stepped into the elevator. Sadness flickered in his beautiful blue eyes and as soon as I stepped into the elevator and the doors started to close I realized just how much the truth of what I discovered hurt me.

              The tears I had been holding back slipped from my eyes and down my cheeks, my chest heaved, and leaned against the wall.

              I had loved him. I had given him a piece of myself that I hadn’t given anyone else in such a short amount of time and it had come to bite me in the ass.

              When I finally hit the lobby floor I wiped away any stray tears and walked out the front doors of Jefferson Law Office, wondering if I would ever see Cameron Jefferson again.
