Under the Sheets - Love Under Lockdown
Page 16
I picture myself having steamy sex with Mark all night long. Of course, I am still worried because I know this goes against company policy, but it was his idea. I have to admit that it sounds like a great one. I’m very excited about that, but I try to play it coy.
“Would it really be okay for us to be there together?” I press.
I really hate breaking the rules, no matter how bad I want to be with him.
“Well, technically we’re not supposed to, but the circumstances that we are in are unusual. I mean, we each need to quarantine but no one needs to know how or what we do,” he says convincingly.
I hesitate but I know I don’t want to say no. With the quarantine hanging over our heads, I want to be with him now more than ever. I don’t want to spend tonight apart from him.
It seems like things are happening really fast between us, but I like that. It’s really exciting. No one has ever made me feel like this before.
He holds his hand out to me and I take it after a slight pause, telling myself that I can’t let my worries or fears keep me from having the happiness that I want. I let him guide me out of the elevator and all the way to his room.
His hand feels so good against mine that I don’t want to let it go. My heart pounds with excitement, and my stomach is in knots. Deep down, I was hoping this would happen tonight.
It’s all dark inside his room. He tells me to make myself comfortable, so I sit in an armchair and wait for him. He’s busy turning on some of the lights and getting us some wine.
I’m still a little tipsy, so I can’t stop myself from checking him out as he walks around the room. It’s nice to see him out of the office and in something other than a suit. This man can make anything look good, from jeans to dress slacks.
When I notice the way his pants tighten around his butt as he reaches for something, I can feel myself growing hot. I really need to calm down for now.
He turns around, holding the wine and two glasses. Our eyes meet and I want to run to him. I restrain myself. He walks over to me and fixes us the wine. I really shouldn’t have any more to drink, but I feel like I need it right now. I try to calm my excitement as he sits as close to me as he can. This evening is turning out to be really steamy.
Human contact feels nice after being alone for so long. I want to let out a squeak of surprise when he puts his arm around my waist. This draws me nearer to him.
I gasp softly and my eyes meet his. I feel powerless yet protected in his grasp. I am in shock, but I don’t want to break away from him. I have never felt like this before and I want to keep these feelings going. I wrack my brain for something to say, but I can’t form a decent thought when I am this close to him.
I take a sip of the wine that I’m still holding. I hope I don’t get sick in the morning. I usually don’t drink this much.
A thought strikes me, suddenly – it’s of me being sick, but with him here taking care of me. The image in my head attracts me to him even more than I already am. I never thought I could meet a man that would affect me like this. These feelings are so new and exciting.
I take another sip of wine. All this is a little overwhelming. I can feel myself swoon a little, but his arm remains securely wrapped around me.
I have never felt so turned on and yet so safe in my life. It’s actually very confusing, but I like it. Maybe I like feeling this way because of the person that I am with. I can’t imagine it any different.
I’m just glad that I am the one that he chose to bring along. I still can’t get over that. Not only am I celebrating success at my job, but one of my craziest dreams is also coming true. I never expected him to react this way to me. I’m so thrilled that he is, but it’s still a shock.
I’m sure other people would be surprised too if they found out. Of course, they won’t, because that could wreck our careers, but I’m still ecstatic that I’m spending this time with him.
The fact that we are going to be quarantined here together honestly makes it even better to me. We are going to get to spend all this time alone with each other.
