“Thanks for taking care of everything. Appreciate it a whole fuck of a lot.” I stand up to hug Jude, clapping him on the back.
“Anytime, you know that. We all have each other’s back, and that’s how it’ll always be,” he reciprocates my sentiments.
“What about you. You heading out?” I ask Crew.
“Fuck no. I’m not going back to work. Not now, maybe not ever at this rate. Jesus,” he says with a grumble.
“You two got two options: stay here and lock up or get the hell out. I’m heading home to my wife while Seb is still in school. We’ve got a matter of months before our alone time is limited.” Johnny grabs his phone, wallet, and keys from his desk.
“Come on, I’ll take you out to lunch,” I offer Crew, and he nods in acceptance.
“Sounds good to me. Have fun, Johnny. Give my love to Winnie and Seb,” Crew replies.
“Thanks for holding the meeting here. It would have looked bad to have my secretary clear my schedule only for a pile of vehicles to pile in and use my office.” Not to mention my secretary would have my ass with how loud it’d be while she answers phones and dodges clients.
“Bud, I’d give you the keys if you’d take them.” Johnny has offered it to all of us.
“Thanks, but no thanks.” His liquor license and me being an attorney means too much bad shit could happen that could ruin both our careers.
“Yeah, I hear you.” We move out of Johnny’s office, Crew and I heading one way and Johnny the other. We’ll probably end up at Twisted Oak, a favorite of all of ours. The only downfall is that Letty is at work, the wrong job, the one I won’t be able to see her at, and it won’t be till later this evening until I lay my eyes on her. A moment that can’t come soon enough.

LETTY
Time felt like it stood still today. No matter what I did, working harder and faster, the minutes on the clock seemed to stay at the same number for far too long. I’m sure it has something to do with the message I received earlier in the day from Matthew telling me he’s working from home today and will see me when my work day is over. The man who works more than any other person I know sure is changing his ways. At first, when I read the text, I thought no way. Then I pulled into the parking garage, going around each floor until I landed at the top, and saw with my own two eyes that Matthew’s SUV was exactly where it should be when he’s home.
I parked next to him, got out of my car, grabbed my bags, and even though this place has great security, I’m still keeping my wits about me. It’s been permanently ingrained into my head, so I’m not sure I’ll ever let it go. My thumb was scanned by the same biometric deal thing that has always been in place, a feature that I now know is from Jude, the tech dude of Matthew’s friend group. The reinforced steel doors quickly opened up to the foyer of the penthouse.
What I didn’t expect is the man standing on the other side. Matthew is in a white polo and worn denim jeans, no shoes, his hands in his pockets and a look of insatiable hunger on his face. My core instantly dampens, and when my nipples pebble through the two layers of clothing, Matthew can see every sensation.
“Matthew.” The need in my voice carries through the space, and he’s on me in an instant. My bags drop to the ground, back meeting the now closed door, and he’s hoisting me up with one hand while his other cups the nape of my neck.
“Need you, kitten,” he mutters right before he takes my mouth in a searing kiss. His tongue gains entrance with the small moan I breathe out. If I ever thought I could take the lead, I’m sorely mistaken. He takes and I give, freely, enjoying every minute. His hand is squeezing the cheek of my ass so tightly and just the way I like it, that it has me rubbing my core along his jeans-covered cock.
“I want you, please, all of you.” I pull away for a moment, needing to get this out. Every day we're together, we explore more of each other, and when I ask for myself, Matthew somehow slows us down. While he’s usually in control, my goal tonight is going to be trying to break this man to finally use more than his mouth and hands. I want his cock buried deep inside me, no matter the pain I know it will bring. It’ll be worth it to finally have Matthew in the best way possible.
