Willow wound her fingers in his hair and held him to her as he made his way down her jaw to her neck where her throat met her shoulder. Nipping at it gently, he pressed his cock against her and rocked hard. Her answering moan nearly undid him. Shifting, he pressed her tighter against the wall and held her up while he lifted her shirt with his now freed hands. The need to taste her hot flesh made him clumsy and he simply lifted her bra out of the way when he couldn’t get the clasp undone.
“ Please, please, I need you. I want you now. Please, Jared, I need—”
The voices in the hall outside the room froze them both in place. Neither of them moved. His mouth was a mere inch from her nipple and her fingers tangled in his hair. He wondered if he could lick her, take the morsel into his mouth just once. Would he have time to savor her taste? No, he realized when the voices in the hall seemed to be moving closer to them. Regret burning in his veins, he stepped back from the wall quickly and dropped her to the floor, her feet touching just as the men sounded around the corner. His cock was straining at the zipper, need making him ache. Looking at her now, he nearly snarled at the unseen men and went back to where they were.
Her cheeks were flushed red and her lips, full anyway, were swollen and pink. There was a burn along her jaw where his whiskers had scraped her and there was a small bite mark, bright red where he’d nipped her. She was panting; her breath was coming out in hot, short bursts. He turned away from her to adjust his cock when three men walked in with boxes of white tile and mortar.
“ Hey, boss, you okay? You look like…well, I was gonna say like you was blushing, but that can’t be so. You can tell a dirtier joke than me.” Markus felt her forehead and then frowned. “You’re hot too. You ain’t coming down with something, are you? Bad time of year to get sick.”
Jared felt a laughter bubble up. Yes, she certainly was hot. He could vouch for that. He started to turn back to her while he pulled his shirt out of his pants to try and hide his arousal, but he heard her moving out the door.
“ The blue stays. I want this room finished before we leave tonight, guys. The appliances come on Monday and we need this ready.” he turned to face her fully now and she wouldn’t look at him. “Conley is in charge this weekend. If you guys have any issues, call him. I’m going to be out of town.”
Markus laughed at her retreating back. “Like we don’t know where she’s going. Seen that man drop her off this morning? Nice-looking feller. Hope the boss gets her whistle wet. Might make her in a better mood.”
The men moved off and Jared just stood there. It wasn’t until Conley came back in that he realized he hadn’t moved. He wasn’t sure where he was going, but he suddenly needed to get out of the room. Leaving the building, he headed for the trailer and was stopped by a new SUV pulling in next to it.
A tall man with dark hair and a suit got out and was walking to the door when Willow came out and threw herself into his arms. Jared watched as he picked her up and swung her around then set her down with a kiss to her lips. To the lips he’d just kissed, the ones he’d tasted and bitten. With a growl of frustration, he started forward only to be stopped by Talbor.
“ Didn’t I tell you she was a slut? She got herself a rich one it looks like. We all wondered how she could afford that big house and all those improvements going on. Heard tell she was sleeping with the man who we’re building this place for and that’s how she got the job for old man Stone.”
Jared turned and looked at Talbor. He knew the guy hated her. He didn’t understand it, but he knew it. But she had just saved the company a great deal of money by sweet talking a man that Jared knew could be ruthless when things didn’t go his way. Jared looked back at the vehicle as it pulled out of the lot. Willow James might not
