depths convulse against them.
“Mason...”
“I know, baby.”
Harper sunk her fingers into my shoulders, tugging me toward her, wrapping her legs around my hips so I couldn’t escape. I grabbed her hips, feeling her moan against me as I slid inside of her, muscles tight.
I leaned down, still inside of her, wrapping my arms around her, just wanting to feel close. I could feel her hands playing at the nape of my neck as she peppered kisses across my chin, her tongue occasionally making its way across my skin.
I loved her. I knew I loved her, especially after these last months we had spent together, working together, sort of living together. I loved her not only physically, but for her spunk, her intelligence, her capable logic and mind. She was my partner, my lover, my friend. I had never felt so close to anyone, never felt that I needed someone as much as they needed me. We were mutual, completely equal. I reveled in the feeling that I had desired for so long.
I propped myself up to gaze into her milky blue eyes, feeling as if I could remain this way forever, within her grasp, being smothered by her love. She said my name, pulling me from my thoughts and back into glorious reality.
“Where did you go?” she asked me, giving me a smile, her fingers trailing down my cheek.
“Home,” I replied. “I went home.”
Harper was my home, now. She meant the world to me.
I tangled my fingers in her hair, kissing her soundly as I thrust into her, her gasp telling me that I had taken her by surprise. Her hips rocked with mine, our movements growing more desperate, more desired.
I filled her as she convulsed around me, her face hidden by her hair as she buried her face in a pillow so she could scream, letting out all the tension and pleasure she felt. I grabbed her, gathering her in my arms as she came back down from her high, our bodies spent.

We woke to the sound of Natalie knocking on the door.
“Harper, Asher? Are you in there? Your two o’clock appointment is here.”
Harper yawned, sitting up. “Yes,” she yelled back. The two had gotten much friendlier with each other over the past months. I knew that Harper had begun to charm Natalie with her friendly, bubbly personality. Although Natalie was still reserved around her, I could tell that she was beginning to like Harper.
I stayed on the bed, buttoning up my shirt as I watched her get up and go to the mirror, straightening her dress and fixing her makeup.
“Don’t be nervous.”
She turned toward me, grinning. “Nervous? Me?”
I laughed. “Well, this will be your first time interviewing someone. There’s no reason to be intimidated.”
She grinned, picking up my tie from the ground and motioning for me to sit up. I complied, watching as she tied it around my neck skillfully.
“Ready?”
Harper nodded, grabbing my hand and giving me a smile as we made our way out into the foyer to meet Avery, our new client.
