And Lake knew she was in for it when I hung right up.
Her giggle was a shriek as I held the base of my shaft with one hand and caught her by the waist with the other. In one motion, I pulled her back and straight down onto my cock, sliding right in thanks to her soaking wetness and swelling rock solid in a second flat. But Lake took over from there. I just sat back, watching in awe as she christened the office chair in reverse fucking cowgirl. I flicked my stare back and forth between her over-the-shoulder gaze and the view of her incredible ass and smooth pussy slamming down on my dick. She had me feeling like a goddamned king and it didn’t stop even when I came. Lake went and ran a towel under warm water after and I called my guy back as she cleaned me up, kissing my temple, my cheek and when I wasn’t speaking, my lips.
It was a ridiculously hard call to get through.
But I’d gotten through it. Ana’s email, however, went forgotten about.
“Damn. If looks could take a girl’s clothes off,” Ana smirked.
I knew I looked surprised at her remark. Behind her, Oz looked at me with a face that said whoa, dude. Whoa.
“I’m not sure what face I made but I apologize.”
“I’ll accept if you tell me about her. She must be a special lady.”
Behind Ana, Oz cocked an eyebrow and rubbed his beard theatrically as he too waited for my answer. I smirked and shook my head. If I couldn’t explain my relationship with Lake to Oz I sure as shit wasn’t going to do magically it with Ana Hale from the Times. Unfortunately, and to my annoyance, Oz chipped in for me. “She’s named after a body of water and it’s a complicated love-hate relationship.”
I shot him a look. He looked deeply amused with my irritation. Ana perched her sharp chin on her shoulder and looked over at him. “Do go on, Mr. Tate.”
“I don’t know much but she’s a beautiful lady and she distracts this fellow here quite a lot so forgive him if he’s a little off his game.”
I shook my head at him when Ana looked back and he made a face and a gesture that said I’m just trying to help. “I think it’s time to change the subject.”
Ana touched the tip of her tongue to her teeth. “Ooh. Did I touch a nerve?”
“Not at all.”
She clucked. “Too bad. I was hoping to touch something.” Christ, she was hell-bent on keeping the conversation suggestive. I gave her a faintly quizzical look that she simpered at. “Journalist in me. We like getting our subjects a little hot and bothered. Makes for a better story,” she winked and held her hot stare on me. Whatever expression I was making seemed to encourage her. “Can I talk to you in private, Callum?” she asked suddenly.
I grabbed the glass the bartender finally set in front me. “About the article?”
“Sure.”
I took a drink and nodded behind her at Oz, who’d begun flirting with the new waitress. “We should let him know to join.”
She rolled her eyes at me. “Let’s not. Why don’t you bring me upstairs to that VIP room? It should be nice and quiet there.”
I glanced at my watch. “I’m actually due at dinner in about a half hour. I was hoping to do one round, get out and be on time.”
“Because you’re very organized and never late, right?” She bit her lip with every “v” she spoke. I knew it was a trap but I said yes. “Mm. Except you never emailed me back and I’d hate for the article to run even later because I never got from you what I needed.”
I exhaled a tired laugh. “Why don’t you tell me what that email said and I’ll give you everything you need right now.”
My phrasing inspired her seductive look. “So we are on the same page. Let’s do that upstairs and away from the noise. I’m sure we won’t take too much time.”
I cast a look toward Oz before leading Ana upstairs. He read it and gave a subtle ok. We’d been around enough aggressive women to know that it meant save my ass if I’m not back soon. “So, what did I fail to provide you, Ana?” I asked, walking at her side on the stairs. But she sped suddenly ahead, forcing the view of her ass on me. I could see the lines of a thong under her skintight dress. My eyes traveled down her long, smooth legs as she quickened her pace, refusing to answer my question till I was upstairs with her.
“I wanted the contacts of a few regulars here. For little interviews. Just to get the clientele point of view.”
“I’d be happy to refer you to some friends who come often.”
“Lucky them,” she cocked an eyebrow. “But I already spoke to several people downstairs before you arrived. I already have what I need.”
“So this is the bait and switch I suspected.”
“Yes.” She laughed as my expression fell to something vaguely irritated. “Listen, Callum. I can’t help but notice a change in you lately and while it’s none of my business, what little time I’ve had with you in recent weeks has lacked the speed and… efficiency that it had before your friend named after a body of water came back.” She smirked, crossing her arms and tilting her head. “I thought we had a good thing going.”
“I didn’t realize it was a thing.”
