I turned and stalked back to the house. The letters were still in the drawer. I told Tom as much when I came back. Although a disturbing thought hit me. What if the stalker had somehow managed to get inside the house and rifled through our drawers?
“Maybe someone saw it in my briefcase and read it. It wasn’t locked all the time.” Tom paused. “Rhonda.” He said the name with loathing. “What did she sound like?”
“Her voice was low and sultry. It could have been her.” I’d never met Rhonda but I’d heard her voice over the phone plenty of times. It had sounded a bit like her but with a deeper intonation. My doubts began to solidify. It sounded like the sort of spiteful thing the vindictive Rhonda would do. And having an affair did not sound like the sort of thing Tom would do. Even Megan had difficulty believing he’d do something like that.
“Please let me in sweetheart. You’re everything I need. I swear to you I’ve never been unfaithful. Why would I? You’re so sexy and giving and just downright perfect for me.”
I latched on to the calm control in his voice. He was like a rock in a turbulent sea.
I flipped the lock.
Tom immediately entered and swept me up into his arms. “I love you. Don’t ever doubt that. I can’t prove it was Rhonda who did this but I’ve had enough with her. On Monday, I’m going to talk to Greg and ask him to transfer her.”
I tentatively held on to him. It was hard to let go of the anger.
“You poor thing. You must have been so upset.”
His words opened up a floodgate of tears. “I was,” I sniffed.
Tom cuddled me and spoke soothing words while he patted my back. “How about we have a bath and a glass of wine to relax?”
I nodded against his chest.
Tom ushered me into the kitchen and poured a glass of wine before he disappeared to run the bath. This caring, loving man did not act like an adulterer. I relaxed a little more as I took another sip of wine.
Tom came back nearly undressed, his tight black boxers outlining his trim waist. I sighed in pleasure. I loved looking at him. His hard planes complimented my soft curves to perfection. He was my other half. The thought of losing him was devastating. I would not let that bitch of his Executive Assistant tear us apart.
“Come on.” Tom drew me to my feet and led me to the bathroom. It was steamy and fragrant with one of Balaflame’s romantic bath oil blends. I inhaled deeply, letting the sweet, musky fragrance work through my body. Tom took my wineglass and put it on the ledge near the bath before he turned around and slowly dragged my zipper down.
“I love the line of your back. I love how your neck looks so vulnerable.” He bit down on it gently.
I shuddered.
“I love how it leads down to the flare of your hips.” Tom dotted kisses along my spine as he dragged my dress down.
I hadn’t even stepped into the bath and I could feel my skin heating.
Grasping my undies, Tom dragged them down. “I love how you have two dimples at the top of your ass. It always looks as if your ass is smiling and happy to see me.” He pressed a kiss on said dimples. “I love your delectable ass. So soft and inviting. It was made for biting.” Tom gently nipped the soft globes.
I felt like I was going to melt. Surely no man who was having an affair would talk like this.
He rose and unhooked my bra. “I love pressing myself to your back, peering over your shoulders and looking at your bountiful breasts.” He let the bra drop and massaged my boobs.
I groaned and sank back against him.
“You’re so fucking hot, Sherry.” He stepped back.
I muttered a protest.
He smiled. “Into the bath.”
I eagerly obeyed.
Tom stepped in behind me and I sank back into the cradle of his legs. I could feel his erection pressing into my back and I wriggled against it.
Tom groaned his pleasure before he clamped his legs against me, stilling me. “Relax sweetheart.”
How could I relax? My heart was thrumming, my skin was flushed and my pussy was aching.
Tom brought his hands up and started rubbing my shoulders with long, soft strokes.
“Relax.”
I let my head roll forward in compliance. Tom would move at his own pace. When he decided to take control there was nothing I could do to stop him or sway him from his path.
Tom continued to stroke my neck and shoulders and the ache in my pussy settled down into a gentle yearning. When he felt I was settled he drew me out of the bath and patted me dry softly . My whole body was tingling. Ready. Tom quickly towelled himself off and then took my hand and led me to our room.
Pillows had been placed on the floor and his tie was draped over the bed.
I stopped and my eyes flew to his face. He was going to enact my letter.
