Before He Lied

Tessa Chapter 49

One week later

...

My manuscripts have just been piling up and I've been so busy, working on the project with Steve's secretary has been so time consuming.
I've been filing papers and answering emails, I have to attend many meetings and I have worked over time this whole week. I love keeping busy but I need a break, I don't think I've worked this hard in a long time. Not to mention that school has been crazy, I've had exams and papers and projects. I'm just so tired.

...

It's Friday, I've worked so hard this whole week and I feel like I've barely seen Hardin. In the morning we either go to work or school and at night I've been too tired to stay awake and give him attention.

He's been working hard on his book and I couldn't be happier that we are both working and earning money but I can't help but miss him. As soon as I'm done on this project I'm gonna lay in bed with Hardin for a whole year.

...

I check the clock and see that it's 2 pm, I have  a few more emails to answer and then I have a meeting with Josh.

While I answer a few emails I hear my door open, I see Hardin walk in and I smile at him. He closes the door and locks it, he looks especially good today. He's wearing a black button up shirt and he rolls his sleeves up, he's wearing black jeans and his converse.

"You look incredibly sexy sitting at that desk Theresa."

He walks up behind me and leans on my desk.

"Oh really? You look incredibly sexy in that shirt Mr. Scott."

I spin my chair around so I'm facing him, he leans in so our faces are inches away. I lean into him and press my lips into his, I stand up from my chair and he sits down. I climbs onto of him and his hands immediately go to my waist, he untucks my shirt from my pants while I unbutton his shirt revealing his chest. I kick off my heels while I run my hands down his chest and reach his pants, I start unbuttoning his pants while he lifts my shirt over my head revealing my white lace bra.

God I hope this place doesn't have cameras.

He leans in and kisses my chest, he leads his kisses up my neck before he reaches my jaw line. I lean in and trail my tongue up his chest before I reach his lips, I gently rock my hips while his hands inch up my back.

"Hardin." I moan.

"What? What is it love?" He says between.

"I................meeting." I say while he shoves his tongue in my mouth.

"No....................don't go." He begs.

"I...........................I have to........." I say.

"Please baby...................don't." He begs again.

I unwillingly pull away.

"I'm sorry, I have to. I promise I'll make it up to you."

I peck his lips before I get off his lap and grab my shirt, I slip it over my head and tuck the ends into my pants. I slide my white heels back on before I reapply my lipstick. I look at Hardin and can tell he's annoyed.

"I'm sorry, but Josh and I have been working really and we are finally almost done."

"Yeah yeah yeah, Josh."

He rolls his eyes.

"Hardin I already told you not to be jealous."

"I'm not jealous."
