21. Ethan
twenty-one
The software development team encountered a slight issue with the biomedical project.
We had successfully completed the robotic surgery system. This system contains advanced software that ensures smooth operation during surgery.
The system wasn”t compromised. It was perfectly fine. But what annoyed me was that this emergency could have been avoided. Fuck. They made me leave a critical business with a damn boner.
Now, I”d been driving for almost twenty minutes, and my dick refused to understand the change in the situation.
“How bad is it?”
Real bad. My boner didn”t seem like it’d go down soon. I frowned when I realized she wasn”t talking about my dick.
“It”s… something minor but could potentially lead to a setback.”
I saw her nod from my peripheral view. “What is it?”
“The biomedical project.”
“Oh.” Her exclamation sounded like her moans. Fuck.
I still didn”t know whether to be angry or grateful at the interruption. But one thing I knew was that she wanted it. A part of me had expected her usual freezing reaction when I pushed myself into her, but she’d surprised me.
She wanted it. But was this what I wanted? To live with the guilt of doing that to my best friend’s daughter? I had to be rational. Logic before emotions.
“The software team needs my biometric to access sensitive data. They want to run a quick update on the existing framework.”
“Oh. The project that’s due for tomorrow.” Her voice was even lower as she placed both hands on her thighs. It was more a statement than a question.
When I caught sight of how the slit had ridden up her thighs— the same thighs I’d caressed. I restrained the urge to yank her over my thigh and fuck her till dawn.
I ran a hand through my hair. I wanted to know how she felt. Was she also mad at the situation? Or was she thankful that, yet again, it was a near miss?
Heck, I didn”t even know how I felt. Perhaps torn was the word. All this… was wrong, I knew. But why did it feel so right?
Good things come at a cost. The question is, are you willing to take the risk?”
I finally turned into the parking lot. The moon had eaten up the sun, and its light shone very brightly when I exited the car.
I briefly glanced at my wristwatch. It was fourteen minutes past nine. I let her walk in before me as I trailed behind her.
Resisting her ass was a struggle, but there were other things to tend to. We entered the building and got to the elevator. The doors opened on the floor that held the conference room.
That”s where they were.
I reached the room with long strides. When they saw me, they rose to bow. I nodded.
“We’re sorry for calling at this time, but we didn”t know there would be a need to access this data tonight. We’ve attempted to bypass the security using a placeholder, but all attempts have been rejected.” George spoke.
There were four in the room. Four tired and worn-out faces.
“I see.” I swiftly moved to the workstation they were all centered around. They made way as I pressed a few keys and then let the security scan my face. Once the scan was done, they heaved a huge sigh.
“All we want to do is update the framework according to…” George trailed, tapping away until he gave two last taps on the space bar.
“..and we’re done.”
Another one, Renee, spoke, “We’re all set for tomorrow, sir.”
I nodded. Tomorrow, we’d show the investors.
Almost immediately, all of them began to rise.
“Good night, sir.” They chorused.
“Good night.”
They all hurried out, and I was left with Evie. We should go home. I should return to Sophie.
But as I watched her sit silently on the other end of the table, I couldn”t help the question that suddenly came to mind.
“Your experience,” I trailed, bringing myself closer to her position. She held my gaze.
“…what exactly happened?” I was curious to know what experiences she had.
The glint in her eyes told me she understood my question. She licked her lips. My eyes followed the movement.
“Only if you tell me yours,” she replied.
Her response tipped the edge of my lips in a small smirk. “Deal.”
I took a seat a few inches from hers as I waited. From how deep she inhaled, I figured it was probably a sensitive topic.
“It”s okay if you don’t want to discuss it.”
“No,” she whispered softly. “It”s okay.”
She licked her lips again. “I was nineteen in my second year in college. I had a boyfriend, Stephen. He was my first… And...”
A forlorn look clouded her eyes. I held my breath.
“And I loved him. I thought he did, too. Or so I thought. One day after a party, we went to my dorm, and he…he tried to…”
Shit. Suddenly, it clicked. It was why she froze those two times.
“Fuck, Evie. I”m sorry.” I slowly reached out to hold one of her hands on the table.
She tried to cover the pain in her eyes with a tight-lipped smile. It was still evident.
I felt the anger rise in my chest. “Did he get punished for it?”
She dragged a deep breath. “No.”
Fuck. The bastard was probably out there living his best life while she was here dealing with the painful memories. I clenched my fist.
I wanted to ask more questions. Like why didn”t he get what he deserved? What happened after that? Why–
“He called me names... Said I was useless to him if he wasn”t fucking me and that he never really loved me.”
“I”m sorry,” I breathed. That was the only thing I could do…. For now.
“It”s okay. I”ve…gotten past it. I’m a psychologist. I”ve talked myself out of it.” She let out a dry laugh. Another silly attempt to rid the pain.
My chest clenched at the tears that strolled down her cheek. Fuck. “It”s just sometimes when I recall his words... I— I try not to let his words get to me, and that has been going well, but sometimes… just sometimes.”
“No,” I quickly interrupted. “It”s our choice to let it shape us.” I used her words from earlier.
I breathed. “My late wife used to sometimes say... stuff. That made me feel I wasn’t doing enough. I let it get to me, and it almost cost me… my sanity.”
I squeezed her hand lightly. She released a soft gasp that reinvigorated my boner. Fuck.
The urge to have her in my embrace was strong. “… But you’ve been strong. Don’t let anyone break your spirit.”
The silence that came after felt right. Everything was completely silent, including my head. The only thing I felt strongly was the urge to cherish her.
No thoughts… no guilt.
I let my instincts take over. Slowly, I drew her into my lap, cradling her head in my arms. I buried my nose in her hair, inhaling her sweet scent before planting a soft kiss on her forehead.
The way she melted into the kiss made all my blood rush south. She seemed to feel it because she met my eyes.
“Evie,” I rasped. “Promise me you’ll stop me if I get too far,” I muttered against her lips. Her lips wrapping softly against mine was her response.
She whimpered as I cupped the soft curve of her face and returned her kiss with doubled fervor. I let my tongue skim over her bottom lips, nibbling on her peachy flesh.
Warm hands against my chest was followed by a light moan. A zap of chill worked through my ribs. It was getting harder not to rip her clothes off and bury myself in her warmth.
Holding my breath, I held her waist and raised her to the table, raising myself to my full length. My fingers itched to run down the slope of her thighs, and they did.
They glided across the smooth silk of her skin to her lacy underwear. Electricity erupted on the pad of my tongue, and by her soft gasp, I know she felt it.
Everything about this moment was completely different, and I wanted to savor every bit of it. With a deep breath, I brought my other hand to trail a thumb over her lower lip.
“I want this off, now.” I stroked her wet pussy.
Her soft gasp spiked the urgency in my veins, and when she bucked her hips against my finger. I almost lost it.
“Easy now.” My words were barely a grunt, strained with every bit of need. Desire pulsed through me when I noticed the heat in her cheeks. My nostrils flared, and I yanked her panties to the side.
Restraining the primal growl in my throat, I cupped her pussy. Fuck. She was even wetter. Dripping with intoxicating essence.
My lips against her neck were hot and needy. She moaned even louder, angling her head for more. The strain in my pants was becoming unbearable but the strain against my suit momentarily pulled my attention from it.
I didn”t need to be told twice before I pulled back slightly and yanked the unnecessary layers of apparel on my chest. Soon enough, and much to her pleasure, my chest was bare.
My muscles tensed involuntarily as her fingers dragged hot trails across the length of my chest. When she reached my lower abdomen, she rubbed for a while before slowly trailing below my pelvis.
I inhaled a sharp breath and quickly clenched a fist around her wrist. This moment was all about her. Not me.
“Not now.” I scissored my fingers against her pussy.
Her head fell back. Her grinds started to gain pace.
“Ethan,” she moaned. The sound of my name on her lips made me want to take her right here. But not yet. I had to make sure she was completely ready for me.
I continued to rub against her clit, occasionally swiping four fingers against her pussy. My fingers were completely soaked, but that was enough for me. I buried my knuckles into her.
She released a loud moan. A small grin tilted my lips. The building was empty. She could fucking scream all she wanted.
“Ethan…I…” she moaned again, meeting my pace in the middle with a fast grind. Simultaneously, I reached for her zipper and tugged it down.
Large breasts fell out for my gaze. My palms itched to cover them. Bringing one hand on the first, I covered her full, pink nipples with my lips.
I dragged my groan between the two breasts. “If only you knew how sweet every inch of you is.”
The way she shook in my hands evoked a maddening pound in my gut. I could feel my restraint breaking.
“Tell me you want this dick.” My hand dove into my pants to fist my dick at her entrance. Her needy moan made me flick my length against her clit.
I bunched the lower part of her dress above her waist and positioned myself between her legs. She brought her gaze down between us, hesitation surging her body for a minute.
“What if it doesn”t fit?” Her voice was a small whimper.
Just like the statement stroked my ego, I stroked myself.
“I know you can take me,” I rasped. “All of me.”
She brought her eyes to mine. The heat on her cheeks was back as she whispered. “I want your dick.”
Diving down to place a lingering kiss on her neck, I slowly thrust into her. Fuck. I cursed every moment I’d spent not buried inside this pool of sweetness.
“Fuck.” Her cry of pleasure was mixed with a little pain. I swallowed every primal urge as she clenched around me, digging her claws into my shoulders.
“I need you to breathe.” I stroked her sides, planting wet kisses on the base of her neck.
My dick pulsed harder as I stood painfully still, patiently waiting for her to relax. “Relax… let me take care of you.” I continued the kisses down her chest before bringing my lips to hers.
She relaxed into my lips with a little moan. And I slowly continued the thrust. Her claws moved to my back as she released a louder moan.
My back didn’t hurt. Rather, every second I spent waiting for her to adjust to my size was pain.
The strain in my voice was held back by the kisses I peppered on her face. “You”re doing good, baby.”
Her head fell onto my shoulders when I continued my slow, intermittent thrusting. Bite marks on my shoulders, more clawing, and loud moans lasted for a while until all of me was buried inside her.
I groaned, reveling in the feeling of her tightness. “Good girl. So fucking tight.”
I allowed her to adjust to my size before moving my hips. The pain in her cries slowly vanished with each slow thrust.
“Fuck, Ethan,” she moaned, leaning backward on her elbow. Her new position gave me the perfect view of her breasts. The creamy flesh jiggled in tandem with my motion.
“You”re so fucking beautiful, Evie.”
I picked up my pace, angling deeper with groans that elicited loud moans from her.
“Ethan, I can”t…” she moaned.
I increased my pace until the tension in my veins became unbearable.
“Evie.” I roared her name and pulled her closer until our chests were touching. Our breaths and screams mixed together, and the lingering smell of passion intoxicated the air.
My head fell into her neck as she wrapped her arms around mine. I pulled back to stare at her flushed face.
She smiled. “That was amazing.”
