Unforgettable (12 page)

Krista sipped her juice. “Do you at
least understand why I’m putting off this meeting?”

Her friend nodded. “I do, but I also
think you should get the one with Todd over with. You don’t have to
let EJ meet him just because Todd does. You do that when you’re
ready.”

“
I guess you’re right.”
Krista set the glass down.

“
So, when are you going to
see him again?” She pulled her hair into a ponytail.

“
I don’t know. It’s been a
few days. We’ve talked some, but he’s been busy with work stuff. I
think he leaves tonight, actually, on a short trip.”

“
At least if he travels a
lot, you won’t have to get sick of seeing him.”

Krista laughed. “I suppose you’re right
about that.” Her cell phone vibrated on the table. She glanced at
the screen. “Speaking of.” She picked it up. “Hi, Neil.”

“
Morning, beautiful. Are you
busy for lunch?”

“
I’m not, but I am home with
EJ.”

Jamie kicked her and whispered, “I’ll
watch him.”

“
Darn. I was hoping to take
you out. I want to see you before I leave town for the next few
days.”

Krista chewed on her bottom lip. She
really wanted to see him too. “I think that can be
arranged.”

“
Really? Great.”

She ran her hand along her knee. “Want
me to meet you somewhere?”

“
Would it be weird if I
asked you to have lunch with me at the office? My secretary will be
gone, so it’ll be private. I can have something
delivered.”

She gulped. Did she really just gulp?
“Yeah, that…that works.”

“
Excellent. Tana leaves at
twelve thirty so feel free to come a little earlier. I’ll have
lunch waiting.”

“
I’ll see you soon.” She set
the phone down. “Guess I need to shower and get ready. I’m having
lunch at his office.”

“
His office. How
unromantic,” Jamie complained.

“
We’ll be alone.”

“
Ooo, I get it. Let’s find
you something sexy to wear.” Jamie stood, grabbed Krista’s hand,
and pulled her through the house to her bedroom.

It was five minutes until Tana went to
lunch. Neil had hoped Krista would have arrived before Tana left.
The more time together, the better. To be frank, he’d hoped to have
eaten by now and then feast on Krista during the hour the office
was closed.

A light tap sounded on his office door,
followed by it opening. “Do you mind if I head out? I have some
errands to run,” Tana said.

“
Go, please.” He paused. “By
the way, take an extra thirty and consider it paid.”

Her eyes lit up. “Wow,
thanks.”

He needed all the extra time he could
get. “Have fun.”

Tana smiled and began to
leave, when he heard her say
excuse
me
to someone. She then popped her head
back in. “There’s a woman here to see you.”

“
Send her in.”

Tana’s expression changed as she
evidentially understood now why he wanted her to take an extra long
lunch break. She nodded and moved out of the way. Krista then
walked in and he almost bit his tongue.

She wore a red dress that hugged her
all the way down her body. It had a low v-neck, baring her nice
cleavage. As she entered the office, she closed the door behind
her.

He was already hard, his cock pressing
against the zipper of his slacks. He hoped like hell Tana was out
of the building, because he was about to take Krista right
there.

“
Good afternoon.” She
sauntered over.

“
It’s perfect now.” He
wrapped a hand around her, tugging her to him. “I’m not really
hungry, are you?”

She shook her head. “I’d like to play
first.”

Krista pushed away from him and lifted
her red locks, revealing the zipper that went from her neck all the
way down to her round ass. “A little help.”

Fuck!
She really had come to play. Neil wasted no time. He took the
zipper in his fingers and lowered it, revealing only creamy skin.
Nothing else. Krista spun around and kicked the dress off. She
stood before him naked—except for the black stiletto
heels.

“
Speechless?” She
winked.

For once in his life he was.

As he stared at her, taking in the
sight, the primal side of him kicked it. He grabbed her, yanked her
to him, and kissed her with greed. She giggled and moaned. Her
little sounds sent him even more over the edge, his control melting
away. He had to bury himself in her now.

With a force he turned her
around and placed her hands on the edge of the desk. He fiddled
with his pants until finally he kicked them off. Gripping her
waist, he positioned himself right at her sweet opening. She was
soaking wet and he slid right in. She felt fucking amazing.
Shit, the condom.
He
began to pull out, but as he glanced down at her ass, her tight
calves in those heels, he had to thrust. He couldn’t stop. Reaching
forward he wrapped a hand in her hair, pulling her head
back.

“
This is going to be fast,”
he groaned out.

He pounded into her hard. With each
thrust she cried out. Her walls tightened around him, she was
almost on the brink of release. He did his best to stay in control
because he’d have to pull out before he could release.

“
Neil!” she called
out.

She was close. A couple more
thrusts and—what was she doing? She stopped gripping the desk and
leaned down toward her ankles. He was deep—really deep—and it
felt…
Fuck!

His orgasm tore through him as hers hit
her. Gripping her waist, he pumped fast and hard, milking every
last drop out. Her warm welcoming pussy holding him tight as she
rocked her release.

Holy fuck, that had been
good.

Removing himself from inside of her, he
found a chair behind him and sunk into it. She turned to him,
walked over, and straddled his lap.

“
Now I’m ready to eat.”
Krista kissed his cheek.

Food. He couldn’t eat right now. He’d
never had unprotected sex—at least not in years. He had with
Rachel, but she’d been on the pill.

“
What’s wrong?” Worry formed
on her brows.

She knew him well. “It’s…we didn’t use
a condom.”

He studied her face and waited for her
response. “It’s fine. I’m clean.”

He chuckled. “Me too, but what about
pregnancy and all?”

“
Sure it can happen one
time, but I’m not ovulating right now.”

She was a woman and he assumed that
might be something she knew about. He had no clue about any of
it.

She caressed his shoulder. “Todd and I
tried for another. It didn’t work out, but I studied the monthly
cycle. We’re okay.”

That was a relief, but he still didn’t
want to take that chance again. “Have I told you that you’re the
most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on?”

Her cheeks flushed.

“
I love the way we are
together.” Neil brushed her hair behind her shoulder.

“
I’m happy too,” she
said.

“
Good. I want you to be. I
want to give you everything.”

She stared at him with need. “Is this
real?”

“
Yes, it is.”

She lightly pressed her lips to his
then pulled back and stared at him. “I’m scared.”

He knew exactly what she was talking
about. “I am too, but maybe that’s a good thing.”

Krista’s gorgeous smile formed, the one
that gave him that butterfly feeling. “Let’s eat, I’m
starving.”

“
Do you promise to stay
naked?”

She laughed. “What if your secretary
comes back?”

“
She won’t be back for a
while.”

“
It’s a deal, but let’s get
your shirt off of you first.”

* * *

Krista climbed into her car two hours
later. A grin plastered on her face and she wasn’t sure she could
ever get it off. Things were definitely looking to be on the bright
side with Neil. This was happening.

A few weeks ago she didn’t even know
him; now he dominated her life. She expected him to want to play
with her a bit and then toss her to the side. But the way he looked
at her and spoke to her, it was like he wanted the same thing as
her. Love.

Oh yeah, she was in this deep. Love was
entering this equation. Sure, she was lusting him majorly. Never in
her life did she think she’d show up to a man’s job with no panties
and bra on and seduce him at lunch. But she had and loved
it.

Then again, the only man she’d ever
really been with was Todd, and he hadn’t loved her. They’d married
for EJ. They did their best to make it work and tried to fall in
love. She’d achieved the feelings more than he had. And before
long, sex was non-existent. He’d told her he didn’t see her that
way.

They tried the marriage thing a little
longer, but they had needs they couldn’t find in one another and
Todd thought it was best to part ways. The way Neil made her
feel—she’d never gotten that with Todd.

Which was another reason she didn’t
understand why Todd suddenly found her so desirable. Her being with
someone else, did it cause some sort of reaction in him? Jealousy
maybe? There was no way he could just begin loving her after all
this time.

She sighed. It was too much to think
about. She started the car so it would begin to cool down and then
dug through her purse. She found her phone and turned it off
vibrate. She had a next text message from Todd.

Call me as soon as you
can.

That had been forty-five minutes
ago.

She called him back. “Hey,
Todd.”

“
Where are you?” he
demanded.

She did not like this side of him. For
the most part, he was a friendly guy, but when he was mad, he was
irrational. “I just had lunch.”

“
I know. I called the house
to talk to EJ and Jamie was there. I assume you were with your
boyfriend.”

“
Is that a
problem?”

He huffed. “When do I get to meet him?
I told you I wanted to.”

“
And what, I can’t see him
until you do? You’re being ridiculous.”

“
You better not be bringing
EJ around him.”

She’d had enough. “I’m not. I know you
want to meet him, and fine. You will. I’ll introduce EJ to Neil
when I’m damn ready to, got it? Now butt the fuck out of my life.
You don’t get a say so in who I date and when I date them, got
it?”

“
Whatever. Let’s see how you
feel when I start flaunting women in your face.”

She was about to argue back but what
was the point. Todd wanted to ruin her mood and he’d almost
succeeded. “I hope you do find someone. We both deserve love and
happiness. I’ll be in touch soon about this meeting. Neil’s going
out of town for a few days on business, so perhaps when he gets
back.”

She ended the call, not caring what
else he had to say. He wasn’t going to control her.

Tossing the phone into her purse, she
pulled out of the parking lot and headed home.

Neil placed a kiss on Krista’s cheek. “There’s nothing to
worry about.”

She stared up into his kind eyes. With
him by her side, she almost believed it, but she was still scared
about the lunch. “Do you think we should’ve gone out though? Here
things could get heated.”

“
Why would they?”

She’d been seeing a side of Todd she’d
never experienced before. Having him in her home might not be a
good idea. “I never know about Todd. At least in public he wouldn’t
want to embarrass himself.”

Neil chuckled and brushed a strand of
hair from her face. “You’re overreacting. From what you’ve told me
about him, he never deserved you. He did right by you for EJ and
that’s all.” He stepped closer. “I intend to step in now and show
you what it feels like to be cherished.”
