Desire

CHAPTER EIGHT

Carter Gilmore

I told myself I was going to stay away from her. It took me five seconds of me sitting in my home office and then I raced to my office building to see her. I had to see her. I had to be with her.

What I didn't need to see was her wearing that white tight blouse and black pencil skirt or her chatty it up with a man in her office. The way he looks at her like she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

It went red with rage before I knew it, I walked into her office and scared him away and I'm not even sorry. I don't know what I'm doing. This can't be healthy for me. I could still feel her kiss on my lips after I shut her up.  She is such a stubborn woman. Does she know I think very highly of her? I wouldn't have given her the job if I didn't think she deserved it.

Yet, she doesn't see it like that. I wish she could see her the way I see her.

I walked into her office. She was sitting at the desk typing on her computer. Her eyes turned to meet mine as I sit on the chair in front of her. She eyes me suspiciously. I had a bag of her favorite food in my hand.

ASPARA

I place it in front of the desk. she eyes it and then looks up at me. "What is this Mr Gilmore?". I can she's wondering if I have an ulterior motive for bringing her favorite dinner. Everything in my mind was telling me that I should walk away but I can't. I need to be with her even if it's just being in the same room, I need to see her smile and know that I'm the only guy making her smile.

"I just wanted to bring you lunch" I stated hoping I don't sound suspicious. She eyes me suspiciously but doesn't question me. I thank god silently. She reaches over and takes the food from the bag sitting back in her seat. She opens it and smiles at me.

Her favorite was a Cambodian restaurant, shrimp fried rice, and chicken wings. She could eat her weight in that at our house growing up. There was a time in covid when all she ate was Aspara. I eat on the chair as far away from her as I could be. Even though we're inches from each other on the other side of the table.

"So Mr Gilmore. How is your day?" She asked. Smiling happily. I was glad she pretended it was normal. She eats her food silently as I respond.

"It's great,"

She nods. The room falls silent and just the sound of us eating filled the room. Even if we're in silence it was the greatest moment of my life. A moment where I could be around her without people noticing that I care about her more than just being my daughter's best friend.

Finally, she speaks putting down her food on the table in front of her.

"Thank you for making Ella come to my house last night. It was just what I needed, " she says with a grateful smile. God is she beautiful.

"You're welcome," he replied. She meet my eyes and we just stared at each other for a long moment. The air cutting me. I want so badly to wrap my hands around her throat and kiss her hard. Take her breath away.

"Adelaide?"
I breathed hard. I couldn't take it anymore. It was physically painful to be so close to her and not be able to touch her.

"Yes?" she replied, with a smirk. When I stayed quiet she stood up from her chair walking toward me seductively.

I placed the food on the table in front as She sat in my lap straddling me. "Mr. Gilmore, are you speechless?" She asked teasingly.

"Adelaide" he breaths.

"Tell me, sir. How much do you want me?" she says, whispering into my ears. My body tingled with her breath on my skin.

"Adelaide,"

Not because I didn't want to fuck her. I wanted to so fucking badly. I just can't. Not like this.

"What? You don't want me?" she asked, her lips pouting. She smirks.

"Of course, I want you, Adelaide," I said through clenched teeth.

She put her hands on my cheek and drove in kissing my lips like she was hungry for me while she rubbed herself again me. I started to harden. I could tell she could feel it too, the way she smiled against my lips.

"Tell me to stop," she breathes when she pulls back staring at me. I know that she knows that I won't. Why would I stop it when it's been killing me for the past couple of days? I know it's so fucking wrong but I can't and won't stop it.

I ripped open her shirt and she gasps. Her perky tits are on display. She didn't wear a bra. I wanted to punish her so badly. I pressed kisses on her chest leaving wet kisses all over her skin. She threw her head back giving me more access. I put my tongue on her skin and licked her up to her throat. She shrivers underneath my touch. She looks so fucking beautiful. I want to fuck her so badly. I bite at the skin on her neck.

"Carter," she screams and I covered her mouth. The last thing I needed was the whole office knowing I was fucking my assistant. They didn't deserve to hear her. I was surprised no one noticed the marks already on her skin. She must have covered it with makeup.

"Adelaide,  we have to be quiet," I said softly.

She nods in understanding. If someone told me a year ago I would be here, I wouldn't have believed them. I always craved her but I never gave him into my desire to have her.

But now that I have her in my arms there's no way I'm letting her go.

I lifted her and let her down on her lips our lips never leaving each other. She rubs my hands down my black curly hair. I let her go as I take my shirt off. She stares at me taking me in. She looks from my eyes, down my stomach, and finally at the blunge in my pants.

"Your such a bad girl, Adelaide" I whispered. "Seducing me, making me want you, and then trying to take it away,"

I lifted her to put her skirt up to her lips and peeled her panties off of her.

"Please, Carter," she begged desperation in her eyes.

I laid her on the table and put my fingers on her pussy. She was so fucking soaked. I could tell she was extremely horny. I stared at her. She was in a lust-filled haze staring up at me. Should I do this? I know if I do I won't be able to live without her and I don't think I want to. But I have been fighting this for a reason.

I know if I do this there's no turning back the clock. There will be consequences to our actions. But right now I can't find the strength to walk away.

"Carter," she questioned. I have been keeping her waiting and she's getting anty. Can I do this?
