I turn to walk out of the room, my hand outstretched to the door, ready to wrap around the doorknob when I am grabbed around the shoulders and whirled around.
“Where are you going?” He asks his deep voice melting my already weakening heart.
It pounds relentlessly in my chest, my legs shaking with the effort to keep myself standing, my arms stay idle at my sides, but I fight to keep them there, the urge to throw my arms around his neck and give in to the desire swirling around me was hard to ignore.
“I-I thought you wanted me to lea-”
“No, Trainwreck. I don’t want you to leave. I want you to stay in my arms, where you should never have been away from, to begin with.” He whispers into the little gap of air separating our mouths, our bodies.
I can’t stop myself from doing the thing I do next.
I step up on my tiptoes, pressing my shaking and unsure lips to his soft ones that seemed very sure of what they wanted. His arms wind around my back and he presses me to him, his mouth completely capturing mine in his, and holding me captive in his arms.
Not like I could slink away from them even if I wanted to, I seemed rooted in the very spot I was standing on, not able to lean or turn without being connected to him in some way.
My heart pounds faster in my chest and explodes as he takes one hand from around my waist to cup one side of my face lightly in his hand.
How I had missed being in his arms, how had I missed hearing his voice, looking into his light green eyes. How many nights have I laid awake missing him and the feelings he gave me.
Now he was here...
As my boss and I’m his hired personal assistant.
