fantasies…
Dr. Jackson pinned her against the inside of the door to his office. He held her there with his hands manacled on her upper arms preventing her from escaping. He had stripped her naked except for her heels. Her legs were wrapped around his waist supporting her weight.
His chest was bare and his pants were open just enough to free his cock. He bit her neck and pounded into her furiously as she moaned. He kissed and nipped his way to her breast and a hand touched her shoulder—.
She flinched and her fantasy disintegrated. She closed her eyes in frustration. Couldn’t they have waited until she was done with her fantasy?
“Marie, are you okay?”
The smooth and sexy voice sent her heart racing. Somehow fully clothed, he was sexier than her naked fantasy version.
“You look like you just ran a marathon,” he said.
“I’m fine Dr. Jackson. Thank you. I was just lost in thought, that’s all.” ‘Dear God, don’t let him figure out what I’ve been thinking.’
He slid into the café chair next to her, pulled it close and whispered into her ear, “I hope those thoughts were inspired by me. You look positively irresistible with that flush on your cheeks.” He turned his face to her cheek, his mouth a breath away from hers. “God knows you do the same to me.”
She felt her face burst into flames and embarrassment rush over her like a firestorm. She opened her mouth to speak and nothing came out. She couldn’t find the words that wouldn’t give her away. After a few seconds she closed her mouth, realizing she already had.
He reached across and ran the backs of his fingers along her arm.
“I’m sorry, Marie. I can’t seem to stop upsetting you. Let me make it up to you. How about I take you to dinner some time?”
She opened her mouth to speak and he placed a finger over her lips.
“I’m sorry. Forget I said that.”
She felt pressure in her chest and struggled to inhale. The ‘yes’ was on the tip of her tongue and she was never so glad she hadn’t spoken the word.
“I just can’t seem to stop apologizing to you, either,” he said and sat back with a sigh. “Maybe I should just greet you with ‘I’m sorry’ each time I see you and get the apology out first. God knows I’m bound to say something stupid to warrant it.”
They spent the next few breathless seconds just staring into each other’s eyes. She was afraid to blink because she knew it would trigger the tears she didn’t want to shed in front of him.
Finally, he broke the silence. “I’d better get going. My break is over.”
Without another word he headed back through the coffee shop.
She sat in stunned silence, still unable to speak or think clearly. What had just happened? She had decided to believe Janet and thought he really did want her. He even said she inspired lustful thoughts that made him flush.
But then he asked her out and told her to forget it before she had a chance to respond. She closed her eyes and a tear dropped to her cheek. Her heart felt heavy. This was just a game to him. He was toying with her.
She straightened her shoulders and lifted her chin. She made that mistake once already. She wasn’t about to make it again.
She looked back toward the exit and wiped the tear from her cheek. There was no sign of him walking away. With a heavy sigh she headed back to the office. This week could not end soon enough for her.
Warren stood out of sight and looked through the window of the coffee shop. Marie had turned around, obviously to see where he’d gone. He took a step toward the door when the urge to run to her surfaced suddenly, but stopped when he remembered AJ’s warning to stay away from her.
He stepped back into his hiding place and watched her as she passed the counter and waved to the young girl stocking the case with pastries, his gaze glued to her until she was out of sight.
He pushed out a heavy sigh and sat at the table next to him. He needed to give her time to get back to
