He moved his hand to my breast and rubbed across my nipple with his thumb. “You’re awfully quiet,” he said, lifting his head and looking down at me. “Something wrong, love?”
I briefly glanced up at him, and then back down to the necklace I was gliding between my fingers. “No, just enjoying the moment.” I forced the corners of my lips up into a small smile.
Sighing, he said, “It’s nice, isn’t it? Just lying here, listening to the rain fall on the roof?” He positioned his head on the arm rest. His profile was striking against the bright white material of the couch. “I feel like I’ve known you forever, Brooke,” he said, glancing over at me. His gaze moved from my eyes to my lips, and he pulled my chin toward him. “Strange, aye?” He kissed my lips sweetly, then slowly pulled away and rested his head back on the arm of the couch.
“I feel the same way. You’re just… I don’t know. You make me crazy.” I felt warmth spread over my face as I realized how immature I sounded.
Gavin laughed. I loved the small crinkles that formed in the corner of his eyes when he smiled.
“Crazy in a good way, I hope? The same kind of crazy you make me?” he asked.
I bit the inside of my lip and contemplated blurting out how badly I wanted him, how he consumed most of my thoughts, but I was able to restrain myself and answer him with a passionate kiss instead.
I woke up to an empty bed. Sitting up, I looked for Gavin. The bedroom was dark and the light to the bathroom was out. I glanced over at the clock and saw that it was three ten in the morning. A sudden chill flew over me as an eerie feeling crept through me. The silence was unnerving and for some reason I felt terrified. I rose from the bed and went to the doorway. Listening, I could hear footsteps in the living room.
“Gavin?” The planks in the hallway creaked as I made my way out of the bedroom. My eyes were still heavy with sleep and I tried to focus them. My heart pounded in my chest as that feeling that something terrible was lurking in the living room nearly consumed me. I peeked around the doorframe and saw Gavin’s shadow leaning over the coffee table. As my vision cleared, I noticed he was fully clothed. “What are you doing?” I asked, completely confused as to why he had dressed himself.
“I got a page. A patient of mine just got admitted to the ER. The resident on call didn’t feel comfortable calling anyone else since I performed the surgery.” He hurried across the dark room and kissed my forehead. “Go lay back down, love. I won’t be gone long. Promise.”
He stood there staring at me for a moment before pulling his keys from the table. Running his hand over his head he said, “Go on. Go back to bed. You need your rest.”
I stumbled back toward the bedroom. Moments later I heard the garage door open and watched the headlights from his car beam in through the window. For some reason I couldn’t go back to sleep. I just laid there with a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach. Within an hour he’d returned. An hour just didn’t seem long enough to have tended to a patient, but I forced myself to drown out the thought of what he may have been doing. Gavin slid into the bed, wrapping his arm around me and pulling me against him. His skin was hot, almost fevered.
“Couldn’t go back to sleep, love?” he asked and nuzzled his chin into the back of my neck.
“No.” I swallowed, swearing I had caught a whiff of floral laced perfume.
“Miss me that much?”
Pretending I didn’t hear that question, I said, “Your patient okay?”
He sighed. “Yes. Just vertigo. She fell and they wanted me to okay her to be released.”
“You had to drive all the way down there just to do that?”
“Yes. Usually that would aggravate me, but knowing I would come back to you half naked in my bed… that made it more bearable.”
I shut my eyes, ignoring the thoughts running through my mind. I’d known better than to mess with a guy like him, but it was too late.
Chapter Twenty-eight
Brooke
That Friday Ashley came into my office right before it was time to leave. A sarcastic smirk adorned her face as she asked, “So, are you super stoked about the big event tomorrow or what?” She walked over to the window and pruned the dead plant on the ledge. “I just can’t wait. The excitement of having you and Gavin, Nicole, Dr. Knight, and his wife — ” Ashley took a deep breath and placed her hand over her heart while she fluttered her eyelashes. “It’s going to be too much.” She added a slight quiver to her voice for dramatic flair.
I reached behind the computer tower and turned it off. Just thinking about the next night made me nervous.
“Oh, absolutely. It’s gonna be awkward on so many different levels,” I said. I’d been dreading it because I knew that I’d have to steer clear of Gavin. I could not begin to fathom how incredibly delectable he would look all dressed up, and I knew it would be torture having to keep my hands off of him.
“Like I said, awesome! One couple trying to hide an inter-office relationship, the other trying to hide and inter-office affair.” She laughed wildly and continued, “And then let’s not forget the stalker — oh, and the best part will be watching Nicole flip her shit having to be around Dr. Knight’s wife.” Ashley looked completely ecstatic about the impending drama.
“You’re sick, Ashley. You know it?”
“What? Just because I’m really looking forward to the free entertainment the evening promises? Please!”
I shook my head disapprovingly and flipped the light switch off.
I made my way down the hallway to Gavin’s office and fluffed my hair to try to give it a little bit of sexy volume. Ashley followed behind me, loudly popping her gum in her mouth.
Stopping outside his door, I glanced back at Ashley. “Just gonna tell him goodnight.” I pushed the door with the tip of my forefinger and it creaked open.
Gavin’s head was resting on his hand and his elbow was perched on top of an open medical book. His eyes were focused on the print and he was slowly raking his teeth over his bottom lip. I’d noticed he did that often when he was deep in thought or deeply turned on. It was a habit of his I found utterly sexy.
“Staying late?” I asked.
He looked up and smiled. “Yes. I’m trying to pull this grant together. I’ve got to get it in before the deadline next week, and I just feel my methods section in the grant isn’t as strong as it could be.” He paused and frowned. “I’ll be here most of the night, I’m afraid.”
I didn’t want to go home to my apartment, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to see him until the next night at the Gala.
Pouting, I said, “That sucks.”
“I agree.” Gavin paused. He tapped his finger on the book and one corner of his mouth drew up. “You should have a package at your house when you get home this afternoon.”
“A package?” I asked. “Oh, really. From you?”
“Do you have many men that send presents to your apartment?” he asked, turning his chair to face the doorway.
“No.” Glancing down at the floor, I twirled the ends of my hair around my finger. I pulled my bottom lip in and cocked my head to the side. “Can’t you put that grant off until later?” I begged, raising my eyes up to him.
His eyes looked disappointed. “Sorry, love, I’ve put this off as long as I can. Trust me, I would much rather be tangled up with you… feeling myself inside you…”
I heard Dan whistling at the other end of the hallway. My eyes widened and I quickly covered my mouth with a finger, demanding Gavin hush.
“What? You’re afraid someone will hear me talking about how much I enjoy fucking you?” The inflection he had towards the end of his sentence made my breath catch.
Gavin raised his chin and laughed. “I can’t help it. You feel so good,” he said loudly. A large smile washed across his face before he stood up and stalked over to me.
I took a few steps into his office. My pulse was pounding from fear that someone would hear him. I could f
eel heat flash across my skin. My eyes widened and my brows arched dramatically. I pulled my hands up under my chin in a prayer pose as I whispered, “Hush! Dan’s down the hall.”
Gavin stood in front of me, peering down at me with his electric green eyes. He raised one hand over my shoulder and shut the door.
Ashley groaned outside the door. “Oh, my God! I’m leaving!”
I couldn’t tear my eyes from his as he came closer. He brushed his hand along my hairline, down behind my ear, down my neck.
“You don’t really expect me to go all night and all day tomorrow without having you, do you? You wouldn’t be that selfish, would you?” he panted in my ear.
Placing one hand on the door beside my head, he allowed that seductive smile of his to slowly transform the shape of his mouth.
Gavin touched his lips to mine and I felt the tension in my body melt away. His tongue massaged mine with long sensual strokes. His hand tenderly caressed my cheek before forcefully grabbing my hips, jerking them to his. The bulge in his pants pushed into me, the warm sensation of his arousal overcame me and for a moment I forgot where we were.
His hypnotic eyes were fixated on mine as he unbuttoned my dress shirt. He made it halfway down my shirt before I opened my eyes and once again became aware of my surroundings.
“Gavin,” I pleaded and placed my hand around his wrist. He completely ignored my plea and unfastened the last button, then pulled my shirt apart. My nipples hardened as his hand grazed my abdomen, sending shivers through my body. “Gavin,” I nervously begged. I knew I should stop him, but I wasn’t sure I could resist much longer.
Stopping, he keenly fixed his eyes onto mine. He reached up to my face and gently grabbed onto both sides. “I want you now — I don’t care where we are!” Mouthing my neck, he inhaled deeply, letting out a low moan as he said, “You smell so damn good.” His body pressed against mine and between kisses he whispered, “It’s okay, love, I promise.”
With those words I felt myself surrender to him.
Gavin knew he had me and he reached behind my back. I heard the lock to the door click and felt his hand wander along the wall while his tongue continued to delve between my lips. He flipped the switch and the lights went out.
“No one else has a key,” he said as he pulled away and placed his forehead on mine. He gazed into my eyes, his pupils blown wide with lust and I knew there was no way I could deny him anything he asked. Lowering his head toward his chest, his fingers wrapped around my chin, rubbing softly against my skin as he pretended to beg for me. “Let me have you,” he teased.
I couldn’t form words quickly enough. I just let out a very long sigh.
Gavin pulled my shirt from my flesh and dropped it into the floor of his office. My breath became shallow at the sight of him pulling his arms from the sleeves of his white lab coat. He loosened his tie and slipped it off, laying it on his large wooden desk. I watched attentively as he unbuttoned his bright blue dress shirt and slid his belt through the silver buckle.
Gavin dropped to his knees and reached underneath my skirt. He slowly pulled my panties down around my feet and I stepped out of them. His hands slid up my thigh and around to my ass as he rose up. One hand stroked against me, his fingers pinching my clit as he rubbed over me. Running his fingers along the crease of my opening, he teased me with gentle strokes.
A pleased smile shaped his lips. “I see you want it just as badly as I do,” he groaned. He brushed his lips over my neck and bit down softly on my delicate skin. “I love that I make you so wet.”
Before I could protest Gavin slid his finger inside of me and his thumb pressed on my clit. His free hand pulled his pants down. I could feel him, hot and hard against my lower abdomen. Gavin firmly groped my breast and his lips traced across my shoulder. He ran himself back and forth between my legs while his other hand traveled from my shoulders down the curves of my side, around to my ass, and back across my hips.
My eyes were tightly closed, allowing me to fully enjoy the attention. I was reveling in the anticipation of when he would push himself into me. My arousal magnifying with the thought that the only thing separating us from the other parts of the office was the door he had my half-naked body pinned up against.
I possessively wrapped my fingers around him and brought him between my legs. I slowly pushed myself against him. My nerves were tightly bundled up when a loud bang on the door startled me. My pulse caught, my eyes flew open, and I released my grip on him. I could feel the thud on my back from the person’s knock coming through the door.
Dr. Knight’s voice came from the other side. “Gavin?”
My eyes froze with shock and I held my breath, terrified that Dr. Knight would be able to hear me breathing through the door.
“Gavin, you in there?”
Terrified, I looked at Gavin and a sinister expression fell over his face. His eyes gleamed and his lips slowly shaped into an evil grin. A short muffled laugh escaped his mouth and he pressed a finger to my lips. Reaching down between my legs with his other hand, he shoved himself into me with a single thrust.
My palms flattened against the door, slipping from the sweat that had formed on them. I bit down on my lip to keep from whimpering.
“Shhhh,” Gavin said in a low whisper.
The handle behind me jiggled as Dr. Knight checked to see if the door was locked.
Gavin pushed deep within me. The rigid feeling of his well-defined head gliding across the front wall of my pussy sent waves of pleasure surging throughout my body. Gavin’s finger was still pressed over my mouth in an effort to make me stay quiet. Sticking my tongue out, I licked his finger, gently sucking it into my mouth. The fact that Dr. Knight was on the other side of the door while Gavin fucked me was a turn-on like I’d never experienced.
I heard the sound of paper slide under the door and felt the edge of it scrape across the back of my heel. Dr. Knight’s footsteps disappeared down the hall followed by the faint sound of his door closing.
Gavin pulled me away from the door and threw me on top of his desk. Papers crinkled underneath me as he pressed himself hard on top of me. He quickly thrust himself back into me, hitting the back wall of my body. I couldn’t control myself any longer and a low groan flew from my lips.
“Harder?” Gavin whispered through clenched teeth into my ear. “You want me to fuck you harder, don’t you?”
Holding my breath, I pressed my fingers into the flesh of his bare ass and pulled him deeper into me.
I gritted my teeth and said, “Yes. Harder.” I wasn’t sure that he could push into me hard enough to free the pent-up tension in my body. I opened my eyes and took a quick glance out the window at all the professionals wandering the streets of the medical district.
Gavin pumped himself into me, forcing my eyes shut again. His knees and metal belt buckle loudly banged against the side of his desk. Pulling out of me, he steadied himself as he climbed on top of his desk. Papers wrinkled under us and fell from his desk. He grabbed onto my knees and pushed them back toward my head as he forcefully spread my thighs apart with his hands. His fingers rubbed across the slickness of my opening before he placed his face between my thighs. I felt the long, hard licks of his tongue within me. Circling his tongue around my clit, he moaned as he tormented me with his mouth. He gave it a few more wet flicks and I grabbed a handful of his hair, pulling him up.
“Fuck me! Just fuck me, please.” I begged.
His hands pushed my knees back until they met the wall. I could feel my muscles stretch to their limits and he thrust hard into me, forcing a moan out. He pulled himself out and inserted only the head, allowing me to feel short, shallow thrusts. My back arched from his teasing me. I writhed under his body, gasping. Suddenly he forced himself deep into me, making hard, long, and deep pushes within me. My fingers dug into his back and he slammed my body against the wall, forcing out a gasp. My hand dropped and grabbed onto the edge of the desk, my legs opening farther, allow
ing him better access to me.
A tendril of his hair fell loose and brushed against my cheek. I once again grabbed onto his body and sunk my nails deep into his skin, dragging them across his broad back as hard as I could. I clenched around him, tightening to the point that it was difficult for him to continue with the force he had been using. My head rose and I bit down on his shoulder, moaning loudly into his flesh. I whimpered as Gavin continued to move inside of me, his force and pace became greater with each movement. My muscles rhythmically contracted and squeezed around him, my cries of pleasure muffled by his skin.
His jaw tightened, his hand frantically searched for the perfect spot of my body to grab, and his chest heaved. He laid his head in the cradle of my neck, muffling his moans, which were louder and more uncontrolled than mine. I could feel the heat of his breaths on my skin with each groan of pleasure.
Gavin lay still for a moment and then pushed himself off of me and stood up. He stared at me with a look of pride; he knew he had just conquered me as he looked around at his office. Papers littered the floor, his diplomas hung crooked on the wall.
He pulled his pants back up around his waist. A satisfied grin stretched across his face as he looked over at me still spread out on top of his desk, my back pressed against the wall, breathlessly reveling in the feeling of complete ecstasy.
Letting out a quick breath of laughter, he said, “Look at what you make me do.” He paused and slid the leather of his belt back through the buckle and tightened it.
I pulled myself off of his desk and reached down to the floor to pick my panties up. I steadied myself by placing my hand on the edge of the desk as I stepped back into them, pulling them up under my skirt.
