me
quizzically.
I quickly replaced my mental
pictures with a report on girder span tolerances and tried not to
drool. To take my mind off Radford’s reclining figure, I began
explaining my new research to him in excruciating detail. It was
difficult to make it fascinating but he seemed impressed and
suggested a couple more avenues for me to explore.
I can’t say my mind was exactly on
the job. But whose would be with six foot three of gorgeousness
stretched out next to them?
“This is a great start,” Radford
said. “You’ve come up with some interesting ideas.”
“Thanks but there’s still plenty to
do. Where do you want me to start?”
I made a move to stand up but I’d
been kneeling down for so long my legs had gone to sleep and my
knees had locked. I winced in pain.
Radford got up in one fluid
movement and held out his hands to help me. I grasped his
outstretched fingers and stood up gingerly, grimacing as feeling
rushed back into my calves. I focused on the pins and needles, not
on Radford’s reluctance to let me go, nor the pleasure at finally
feeling his skin against mine. I remembered how well those broad
palms had fitted the shape of my backside when he’d pulled me
against him and I’d felt his erection against my belly.
My insides liquefied with lust and
I wanted to feel his lips on mine again – and more.
Thank God he couldn’t read my
mind.
“Are you okay?” he asked, smiling
down at me and looking as though he could hotwire straight into the
area of my brain reserved for impure thoughts.
He had the cutest dimples in his
cheeks when he smiled. If it hadn’t been for the devilish way he
kissed, I’d have called them angelic dimples. But his blue eyes
hinted at sinful secrets I so much wanted to be party to.
“I’m fine, thanks,” I said,
circling my ankles to restore sensation. “It’s just the floor’s
hard and my legs are stiff.”
I could have kicked myself. What
Freudian impulse had made me slip hard and stiff into the
conversation? I blushed uncontrollably.
Radford’s mischievous smile widened
into a grin, telling me he’d noticed but let it go without comment.
Instead, he pointed to my laptop way over the other side of the
room, obviously thinking he’d feel safer with a bit of distance
between us.
“Why don’t you carry on with your
research and I’ll have a proper look at what you’ve found so far,”
he suggested. “Sprawling on the floor isn’t exactly the most
dignified position.”
No, I thought. I’d much
rather be sprawling naked on those crisp, white sheets of
yours.
Chapter Four
Hard and stiff, she’d said, summing
up my current physical state exactly. And I couldn’t get within a
hundred feet of Allie Lawless without feeling that way. Even now,
with her sitting on the other side of the room, tapping away at her
laptop, I was still achingly conscious of her and relieved she
couldn’t read my mind.
Or could she?
There was no knowing what
superpowers the woman possessed. She’d certainly bewitched me the
instant I’d laid eyes on her and, for a man who likes to be in
control, it was a strange to be so utterly at a loss.
From the moment she’d rounded on me
in the clerk’s room that first morning, my cock had stiffened and,
five days later, it still didn’t take much to make it stand to
attention.
After she’d kissed me – and there’s
no arguing who’d initiated it – I’d rushed home, hoping a cold
shower would drive her out of my mind. But I’d emerged naked from
the bathroom with my cock still uncomfortably hard and had had no
choice but to lie back on the bed and give free rein to my
imagination.
In my fantasy Allie had been naked
as well, kneeling astride me and watching my hand move up and down
my cock, her eyes heavy-lidded with lust and anticipation.
I’m as proud of my body as the next
man, and have lost count of the number of times I’ve touched my
cock in front of a woman, but my fantasy-Allie had made it feel
