Temptation(47)

“You’re not going to fire his arse? He’s trying to have you disgraced by the board.” He sat back and put both hands through his hair. Fuck I wish I was riding him right now, I really should get off.

“It’s not that simple, I can’t fire him. It’s a long story but the short of it is, he is a minor stake holder and by binding agreement he cannot be fired by me per se. What he did to you today though, will not go unpunished I fucking promise you that.” He dropped his hands and put them on my arse.

“I like this position very much; I think from now on we will have all our discussions like this.” He squeezed, which sent excitement through my core.

“Bryce, behave or I’ll get off.” He put his hands up in surrender.

“You realise he is trying to take your company and I’m his ammunition.” I went to get off and he held me there.

“He can’t take my company and you are not ammunition. He thinks he can have me disgraced but he has no fucking idea what he’s dealing with. Don’t worry about Gareth, I will make sure he doesn’t hurt you, ok?” I wasn’t convinced but I knew I’d better let it go for now.

“I have to go Bryce.” He stood up whilst holding me on his lap, this time my skirt did in fact go up around my waist. His hands clenched my bare arse and he groaned wildly, putting his forehead to mine he walked me over to the conference table and sat me there.

“Say it.” He growled through gritted teeth. Oh Shit.

“Yes.” I whimpered, he invaded my mouth so passionately. I had never been kissed like this before, the raw emotion in the way he owned every part of my mouth was beyond intense, the way he kissed me felt so right, it felt like our mouths were meant to be together. He broke off and we caught our breath.

“Alexis reach into my left pocket.” Alright, bit weird, but I’ll do it. I removed my hand and in my grasp was a set of keys.

“Now go, take it, or I’ll retract my offer and hold you hostage.”

I pulled into our driveway, Nate came bounding out and opened the driver’s door before I had even switched off the ignition.

“Awesome, can we keep it?” He impatiently waited for me to get out so that he could take my place.

“Be careful, you break it, you buy it.” Rick was standing at the front door with his hands in his pockets, he smiled slightly and approached the Porsche.

“Nice Taxi!”

“Yeah, same colour though.”

“Let me guess, Bryce?”

“Don’t worry, he isn’t going to miss it!” I walked up to give him a kiss on the cheek, he wasn’t cold towards me but he was a bit withdrawn, I met his gaze.

“You saw?” He nodded and told Nate to get out of the car. I’m going to have to spill my guts, shit I’m not ready for this. I need booze, lots of booze.

We sat down to a dinner of slow cooked corned beef and mash, Nate wanted to know about the other cars Bryce had in his basement which only added to Rick’s irritation. After Charlotte and Nate went to bed, I poured myself and Rick a drink and found him under the Pergola.

“So, he flew to the accident?” There was a trace of sarcasm in his voice.

“Yes, he did, he panicked due to his horrible past with car accidents and I guess, went overboard.” I took a drink and swallowed heavily.

“So, what was with the ‘Officer and a Gentleman’ scene then?” I let out a breath, I must’ve been holding it subconsciously.

“I don’t know, as I said, he panicked, he’s a very excessive and stubborn man, I guess it goes with the territory?”

“Lexi, is everything alright?” Tell him, you wimp.

“I’m just tired Babe, I’ve had a really big day.” I sculled the last of my drink and got up.

“I’m going to bed, you coming?” He had barely even begun his drink.

“Not yet, you go, I won’t be too far away.”

The next morning when I got to work, Bryce was not there, he’d left me a note telling me to go to his office and open the brief on his desk, I did as instructed, in the brief was a sticky note.



Nurse Summers,

When you left me last night my hand was not the only thing aching. My mouth aches for yours to join it, my erection aches for you to sit upon it. My entire body aches for yours but what aches the most is my heart, my heart aches for yours to make it one.

I will be out for most of the day but am due back just after lunch, I need you to go to my room and collect another brief.

Your Mr Clark



My Mr Clark? I think my heart just broke. He’s killing me, he’s really freakin killing me. I took the note put it in my pocket and made my way to his apartment heading directly to his bedroom. Entering I remembered the tingling I felt between my legs the last time I was here, this time there was no change. In the middle of the bed was a box and on the box was another sticky note.
