My hand moved to his face, and I kissed him as he made love to me. “I love you.” I didn’t say it again because I wanted to hear him say it back. Now I wanted to take advantage of every opportunity that I had to tell him how I really felt, that he was the only man in the world I adored. When he was deep inside me like this, taking me like it was the first time he’d ever had me, I was out of my mind and in the moment.
He hooked my leg over his shoulder and deepened the angle, my other leg opening to the side so he had greater access to fuck me as hard as he wanted. He thrust hard inside me. “I.” He did it again, his eyes locked on mine. “Love.” He gave me a kiss before he thrust again. “You.”

I was planning on taking a trip back to Fair Isle, to have some quiet time on an island in the middle of the sea, but due to the extra work Ariel’s absence had caused, I didn’t have that luxury. Her presence in the company was vital because it allowed me to have the freedom to do what I wanted, when I wanted.
But now that freedom had been taken away.
I could pay someone else a ton of money to do it for me, but I was meticulous when it came to my business, and everything needed to be done correctly. I couldn’t trust a stranger to care about the details between the lines, the image I was trying to maintain.
My legacy was on the line.
I was sitting in my office when London walked inside, looking beautiful in a deep blue dress that Dimitri had recently bought for her. He took a picture to my designer in London, and she handpicked all the clothes that would complement London’s figure.
She was worth every cent.
Her hair was pulled back in an elegant updo, and she looked like she was born in this castle the way I was. “Ready for lunch?”
I eyed my watch. “It’s ten.”
She welcomed herself into my lap, straddling my hips and sitting right on my crotch. I wasn’t hard at the moment, but that was about to change. “You caught me. I just wanted an excuse to see you.” Her arms circled my neck, and she looked at me with that playful expression I’d come to worship.
If I didn’t have a ton of work to do, I’d blow off the workday and take her into the city to do something fun. But I had meetings and paperwork…the nightmare never ended. I never would have opened that second distillery if I’d known Ariel was going to leave. If I didn’t want to work all the time, I might have to sell it.
But instead of saying any of that to London, I shut my laptop. “We can get a second breakfast.”
“I’m actually pretty full. Maybe we can take a walk or something? Make love against a tree.”
I smiled. “You have a thing for public places?”
“No.” She smiled back. “I just have a thing for you.”
Now my cock was rock-hard. I could see the love in her eyes without searching to find it. It was a look I got from some women, but not to the same degree. The look I got from London was special, something she probably hadn’t given to anyone else. “Good answer.” I pulled her harder into me and kissed her, wanting a quick embrace before I stood up. But like usual, the kiss developed into something more. She ground her hips and rocked against me, stroking my cock against her clit. We breathed into each other’s mouths as she ground against me, the friction feeling great for both of us.
Now I wasn’t leaving this office. I was gonna fuck her on my lap right then and there, not giving a damn about all the work that was piling up at that very moment. All I would need to do was pull her thong over and undo my slacks. Then I would slide into home plate, feeling that warm and wet channel.
A knock sounded on my door. “Sir?” Dunbar’s voice entered the room.
I growled against London’s mouth then pulled away. “What is it?” London moved her lips to my neck and kissed me anyway, dragging that sexy tongue across my skin to the corner of my mouth.
“Ariel is here to see you.”
She was? Why?
London stilled against me, her breaths landing on my neck.
“What does she want?”
“Didn’t say,” Dunbar replied.
Did she forget something else? Or did she realize this whole thing was idiotic? “Lovely, we’ll pick this up later.”
She got off my lap and straightened her dress. “Okay.” She walked out the door, Dunbar’s wide frame appearing in view. He normally opened the door when he wanted to speak to me, but he probably second-guessed it when London was inside with me.
