Christmas Candy: A Holiday Second Chance Box Set

  “Oh, yes, especially if there’s going to be a practical exam or something.”

  Tom’s eyes darkened as he looked down at her. “Oh, there’s most definitely going to be a practical exam, and I’m going to be very meticulous, I warn you. I am not an easy person to please.”

  Jordyn pretended to widen her eyes in surprise. “Oh, of course. I expect nothing less. Your reputation precedes you after all.”

  “It does?” Tom coughed as he realized what he said before assuming an air of indifference. “I mean, of course it does. I am legendary after all.”

  Jordyn snorted. “Okay, I just can’t take you seriously right now. Legendary? Really? Who do you think you are, Casanova?”

  “You know that comment might actually hurt if I were one of those guys with fragile egos, but my ego is very much intact. I know my skills.”

  Jordyn pinched his arm. “What skills?”

  Tom pretended to rub the sore spot. “My Casanova like skills.”

  Jordyn rolled her eyes, and began to laugh until Tom’s hands moved from around her, and they began tentatively exploring her body. The laughter died on her lips as she noticed him looking at her intently, waiting to see if she would allow it. When she gave a slight imperceptible nod of the head, Tom’s exploration began to grow bolder as his hands traced the planes and curves of her body.

  “What—” Jordyn swallowed as her breath hitched in her throat. “What are you doing?”

  “I’m refreshing your memory,” he responded huskily as his hands splayed themselves over her lower back, and began to massage it.

  Jordyn’s eyes rolled in the back of her head as she tried to keep them open. “Tom.” Her voice came out sounding like a gasp as she clutched his shirt. “We shouldn’t.”

  “Shouldn’t because of work, or because of our history?”

  “Work,” she managed to choke out as he found one particularly sore spot and dug his fingers in. Jordyn yelped, and she scowled as she took in Tom’s smug grin.

  “We’re at my work place. What if someone walks in on us?”

  “They won’t.” Tom reassured her. “We locked the door, and we already told them we need to discuss some aspects of the video, so they’ll think we’ll be in here for a while. Just to be safe though.” He reached behind her and hit the play button on the laptop, so that the sound of her ad filled the conference room.

  “It’s a diversion,” he explained as his eyes trailed over her body, leaving a trail of heat in his wake. Jordyn’s mouth felt dry, and her tongue darted out to lick her lips. Tom saw this, and he gave her a seductive grin as he bit his own lip.

  “Now then, what were you saying?” His hands moved up to her shoulders, and he began to massage them.

  Jordyn tried to think through the haze that suddenly clouded her better judgment. “About what?”

  “My demonstration. Is it enough, or do you want more?”

  “I think we should—” she squeaked as Tom’s hands squeezed her breast. “That’s not fair. You’re just cheating now.”

  “All is fair in love and war,” he responded as he patted her behind. “Now this. This I miss. I remember being very fond of this.”

  Jordyn laughed nervously. “Were you, now? It’s different though.”

  “You’ve still got a fine piece of ass.” Tom winked at her as his head dipped low, and he began kissing her neck.

  Jordyn felt the room begin to tilt, so she held onto his shoulders for support.

  “Still think I’m not legendary?”

  Jordyn choked back a laugh. “Seriously? You’re asking me this now?”

  Jordyn felt his warm breath tickle her ears. “Why not? There’s no time like the present. After all, I don’t have that much time to convince you before we have to get back to work. That’s besides the convincing I’ll do when you hopefully say yes to dinner.”

  “You seem like you’ve got it all figured out.”

  She felt his lips hover over her pressure point. “Generally, I do try to be the man with the plan.”

  “You’re forgetting one important thing,” Jordyn pointed out.

  She felt Tom pause, his curiosity getting the better of him. “What’s that?”

  “I’ve got a plan too.” Jordyn leaned over, and took his earlobe between her lips and gently tugged on it. When she felt Tom’s grip slacken, she brought her hands up over his shoulders and began to massage them gently.

  Tom moaned quietly. “I did not see that coming.”

  “That’s the beauty of it,” Jordyn responded cheekily.

  Tom let his arms come up to grasp hers in a firm grip. “I didn’t say you can take over. I’m still teaching you, and I’m far from over.”

  “Don’t be so technical.”

  “Don’t be so bossy,” he retorted, pleasantly. “Though you know I enjoy it. For once, just let me do all the work, don’t over think, and just enjoy.”

  “I know how to enjoy myself.” Jordyn blushed as Tom gave her a once over.

  “I never said you didn’t, but let’s see if we can maximize that even more.”

  He spun her around, his hand still gripping hers in a tight grip, as he brought her arms up over head, and placed them against the wall. He pressed himself against her body, and she heard him inhale deeply.

  He began to breathe softly on her neck, and Jordyn’s muscles tightened in anticipation of his touch. Her stomach dipped as his hands slid across it before moving forward and back down again. He kicked her legs open just a bit before he brought his hands up and placed them over her center.

  Jordyn began to breathe heavily as she tried to squirm, but he wouldn’t let her.

  “I’m trying to give you a first-class demonstration here. Why are you struggling?” he murmured, desire lacing his tone.

  “Because you’re taking your sweet time.” Frustration crept into her voice as she titled her head back and peered at him over her shoulder. He looked amused and extremely focused as he smiled at her pleasantly.

  “So, you think I’m taking my sweet time, do you?”

  “Aren’t you?” she responded, very dryly as she wriggled her hips a little. She smirked as she heard Tom groan at the contact.

  “Now who’s cheating?”

  “You’re the one who started playing dirty. If you’re going to play with fire then you’re going to get burned.”

  His voice sounded amused. “So, are you the fire, or the burn in this case?”

  Jordyn gave him a saucy grin over her shoulder. “Depends on your perspective.”

  “Oh, it’s an excellent perspective if I may say so myself. The view does help quite a bit.”

  “Men are such horn dogs.” She rolled her eyes as Tom buried his face in her hair. She felt him vibrate with laughter as he kissed the back of her neck. “I don’t recall you complaining when you were on the receiving end of this.”

  Jordyn bit back a moan as he began to lick her neck. “You made a very convincing argument. What can I say?”

  “Really? Convincing, is it? I feel like I’m not doing a good enough job convincing you. What do you think?”

  “I think you’re doing an excellent job,” Jordyn commented, trying her best to sound blasé, and to hold back how much he was affecting her.

  “Excellent, hmmm,” he mused as his hands began rubbing her breasts. He began to knead them through her very flimsy blouse. “Do you usually wear scrappy material like this?”

  “It is not scrappy.” She tried to focus on what he was saying, but her mind just kept going to other places.

  “It is very scrappy. I can practically feel you through this blouse, and I could definitely see a lot of you when you walked in with your top button undone.”

  Jordyn flushed. “It was hot, out.”

  “It’s hot in here, too.” Tom nuzzled her neck and began peppering it with light kisses, causing goose bumps to rise up and down her flesh. His fingers came up and began to undo the buttons on her shirt. He undid two of them, and splayed his hand over
her chest, letting his cool touch glide over her warm skin, causing her to lean back into his touch and sigh.

  Chapter Four

  “You feel so good, Tom. I missed this. I’ve missed you.”

  His hand stilled before he placed a kiss on her neck. “I missed you too, Jordyn—so much. I know we can’t change what happened, but we’re here now.”

  Jordyn’s hands reached up behind her back and tangled themselves in his hair. She began to massage the hair at the nape of his neck as she felt some of the tension leave his body.

  She brought one of his hands up to her mouth, and placed a soft kiss there, letting her lips linger for a bit as she traced the scars on the palm of his thumb. “I remember this.”

  “That summer we tried to go camping, and you nearly nailed my finger to the ground.”

  Jordyn laughed as she leaned into his embrace. “It’s not like I was trying to do it on purpose. You didn’t move your hand on time.”

  Tom kissed her shoulder. “How was I supposed to know that the hammer would come hammering down?”

  Jordyn’s mouth curled into a smile. “That’s generally what happens when you pick up a hammer and a nail.”

  Tom shook his head. “I think you were just mad that I got us lost in the first place.”

  Jordyn sighed in exasperation. “I can’t believe you’re still going on about that. I wasn’t mad, okay? I was just annoyed, and I know that these things happen.”

  Tom poked her in the back, and she yelped. “Come on, you were totally mad, but I have to admit. I still wanted to kiss you like crazy.”

  Jordyn spun around and grabbed him by the shirt. “Then why haven’t you?”

  Tom grinned. “I was waiting for you to admit to wanting it as much as I do.”

  Jordyn made a sound in the back of her throat before she molded her lips to his. She registered his surprise at first before he gradually relaxed, and melted into the kiss, kissing her with as much fervor as he could muster.

  Jordyn nibbled on his bottom lip, softly at first then she took the bottom lip between her front teeth till his mouth parted open, and their tongues began to battle for dominance.

  Tom made a noise in the back of his throat, and pushed Jordyn up against the wall, and held her hands above her head. Jordyn moaned as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Tom’s hand came up to caress her thigh, and he hiked her skirt up, so he could have better access. He let his hand trail across her thighs making her tremble with desire.

  She ran her hands up and down his shoulders until they moved under his shirt and began to trace the planes of his back. Tom shuddered beneath her weight until her hands began to tug on the hem of his shirt. He pulled back and chucked his shirt off and tossed it into a pile in the corner of the room. Jordyn traced the scars she already knew on his back, and lightly ran her fingers across the other ones as she kissed him back with all the longing and aching held back for 3 years.

  Tom’s hands danced across the length of her thighs as he lifted her legs up, and helped her out of her shoes. He kicked them to the corner, and placed himself between her legs. He ran his hands up and down her legs until she was quivering beneath his touch. His hands traveled up to her breasts, and he undid two more buttons till her breasts were spilling out of her blouse. He smiled against her lips as he fumbled with the last two buttons before he growled in frustration, and the sound of fabric ripping could be heard throughout the empty conference room.

  “I happened to like that blouse,” she teased, throatily.

  “I happen to think you look better without it,” he responded, not missing a beat as he undid the clasp on her bra. A gust of cold air blew into the conference room causing shivers to dance across her skin. Tom began to kiss the arms that were covered in chills, taking time to kiss every single inch of available skin. His hands went behind her back, and he undid the clasp of her bra in one swift movement, and her breasts sprung free, and stood erect. Tom mumbled in pleasure as he took one nipple between his teeth, and the other, he began to knead with his hands. Impatient for any kind of friction, Jordyn began to grind against him causing Tom to moan in satisfaction. Her hands began to fumble around blindly as the stopped at his belt, and she struggled to undo it.

  Tom pulled back, undid the belt, and she helped him kick off his pants as he stood there in his boxer shorts. His erection became visible as he pressed himself against her wet center.

  Jordyn groaned as she wrapped both legs around his waist, and began to pant in anticipation. Tom lathered a lot of attention on one breast, then when he was done, he moved to the other one, and gave it the same amount of attention till they were both standing, smooth as pebbles.

  He gave her a wicked grin as his hands snaked under her skirt and moved to rest on top of her panties. He began to rub her over the smooth fabric, and Jordyn bit her lip to keep the whimper from escaping.

  He began to rub her faster as he sunk his teeth into her neck. They both froze as the sound of a knock filled the empty room.

  “Ms. Ross?” A tentative voice came from the other side of the room. Jordyn realized that it was one of their interns, Joey or something. Carrie probably sent him to check on them. After all, they were gone for a really long time.

  “Yes, Joey?” She cleared her throat to try to make it sound less hoarse. Meanwhile, Tom hadn’t stopped his assault on her, and it was taking all the effort she had to keep from sighing in pleasure.

  “Mrs. Carrie sent me to check on you, to see if everything was okay.”

  Jordyn bit her lip as Tom began to tug on her skirt till it was pooled around her feet. He bent down, and removed it slowly, never once taking his eyes away from her face.

  Jordyn swallowed. “Yes, everything is fine. We’re just discussing the video. The Captain and I seem to have a difference of opinion about how things should be handled, and we will not be leaving this room until we are both quite satisfied.”

  Tom’s hot breath blew on her inner thigh, and he bit it gently. Jordyn buried her hands in his face as she yanked on his head and pulled him closer. Tom licked her thigh until he made it all the way up to her crotch.

  “Alright, I’ll let her known then.”

  “Thank you,” she managed to get out before she let her head roll back as Tom pushed her panties aside and began to lick her center. Jordyn bit down on her bottom lip hard as he began hitting her sweet spot while his hand came up to play with her breasts.

  Jordyn yanked on his head until he stopped, and she brought his head up to hers. Her lips descended onto his, and they both moaned as they moved backwards. Tom gently pushed her back until she was laying on top of the conference room table. Both her legs wrapped around his waist, she pulled him closer as he began running his hands over her body causing her entire body to shudder in pleasure.

  Jordyn began to place light kisses on his chest, his neck, his torso, all the way to his happy trail, and she cupped him between her palms and gently squeezed. He twitched in response, and Tom’s entire body grew taut with desire.

  He reached down and pulled her panties to the side before he pushed three fingers in. He growled in impatience as he tried to remove the panties, but eventually, he got so frustrated, he tore them off.

  “I don’t remember you being this impatient,” Jordyn mumbled, her throat sounding hoarse from all the shouting.

  “It’s been 3 years. My body misses you too much.”

  “I can see I’m going to have to buy new clothes.”

  Tom grinned as he leaned down and placed a sweet kiss on her lips. His eyes sparkled with concern as he stopped. “Seriously though, if you feel like I’m going to fast, or I’m being too hard on you. Just tell me, and I’ll stop.”

  “Want you to stop? Are you kidding me? Tom, I’ve thought about this for so long, dreamed about it for so long, but I never imagined that we’d be back here. After Gracie, I didn’t allow myself to even think it was possible, but Tom, I feel closer to her right now.”

  Tom’s eyes sparkled with unshe
d tears. “Yeah, I know. Me too.”

  He captured her lips in a sweet kiss, but soon the pace of the kiss changed from sweet to sensual, and he was pushing her back against the conference desk. He stood between her legs, and grinded against her, the sound of their moans echoing in the conference room.

  Jordyn began to claw his back, eager to get as much of him as possible. She sat up, and impatiently pushed down his boxers, letting his erection spring free. She marveled at its size, having forgotten what it looked like.

  Tom’s eyes darkened as he stood still, waiting to see what she’d say. “Like what you see?”

  “Very much.” She licked her lips. “I’d like it even better somewhere else.”

  “I’d like that too.” His lips crashed onto hers. positioned himself, and in one swift movement, he thrust into her. Jordyn cried out as her hands tangled themselves in his hair.

  “You feel freaking amazing, Jor. I’d almost forgotten,” he whispered into her ear as he took her earlobe between his two teeth and nibbled gently. Jordyn ran her tongue over his neck, slowly, and she began to kiss him. “So do you,” she panted out as she felt him fill her up completely.

  A knock on the door made Tom still in his place, and Jordyn cursed under her breath as she cleared her throat. “Yes?”

  “Miss Ross. I’m sorry to interrupt again, but Mrs. Carrie wanted to ask if you’d like to keep the little girl in the ad, or if you’d like to change her.”

  Jordyn wanted to laugh at the absurdity of the question at such a time as this. “Tell her that I’m fine with either decision, and that I’m making progress with the Captain.”

  “Alright, Miss. Will you be needing anything else? Mrs. Carrie wanted to ask if everything was satisfactory.”

  Tom began to thrust slowly, and Jordyn’s eyes rolled in the back of her head as she struggled to form a response. “Everything is perfectly satisfactory. Thank you.”

  “You’re welcome.”

  Jordyn let her head fall back. “We could’ve been caught. What are you doing?”
