Only You (Second Chances Series Book 1)

So maybe not so professional...

I turn to her. "Oh, do you now? What else do you remember Miss Michaels?" She ducks her head and I step closer to her so I can put my finger under her chin and make her look at me.

"Because, Lily, I remember everything. Every little detail of that body of yours. I remember the little birthmark on your right ass cheek. I remember the way your mouth felt on my dick. I remember the way you smell, the way you taste. The face and sounds you make when I make you come."

Her breathing is heavy but she steps back. "Ollie, stop, please. We need to keep this professional."

It takes great willpower to not take her in my arms and carry her over to my bed. But I know when to back off. "Okay, let's go back to the kitchen and go over everything."

I follow her out of my room and we take a seat at the island in the kitchen. She pulls out her laptop and fabric samples. We go over the things she already worked up. I like her work. I knew I would, she's always had an eye for these things.

We go over fabric options for the new couch. And then she shows me a few different options for the bed and I pick the one I like best.

She asks, "When is a good time for you to go and pick out the new mattress?"

"Well I go into the office on Monday and things will be hectic the first few weeks so I don't know what time I will be home each night. The weekends would work best for me but I understand if that's asking too much from you. I can go myself."

"No, it's fine. I don't mind. Besides, I know the best places and I get a discount so really it's no problem."

"Okay, great. Does tomorrow work for you?"

"I have some things to take care of in the morning but afternoon works."

"Can I pick you up around noon? We can go shopping and then have a late lunch?" I know I might be pushing it but I want to spend time with her. I see her hesitate. "Don't overthink it, Lil. It's just lunch. Think of it as a thank you for helping me out. I promise to be on my best behavior."

"For some reason, I don't believe you. But yes, lunch would be nice. Noon works for me."

She starts to pack up her things. "Here let me carry that for you. Busy rest of the day?"

"I have a meeting with another client in an hour and then back to the office to work on things. Then dinner tonight."

My stomach drops, does she have a date? Is that why she's all dressed up? I step closer to her.

"Do you have a date tonight Lily?

"What? No! Why would you ask that?"

"Because you look good enough to eat and you just said you have dinner plans tonight."

"With the girls. It's Millie's birthday. We're going to dinner and then we plan on having a few drinks."

"Where?"

"No."

I can't help but laugh. "No what?"

"No, you Oliver James Scott are not going to show up and ruin my night out with the girls. Again."

"Wow, ruin? That's pretty harsh don't you think?"

"Ollie, you know what I mean. I get all flustered around you and I end up doing things is shouldn't."

"You are super cute when you're flustered. And who says you shouldn't?"

"Me. That's who."

"Fine. I won't push it. The guys and I already have plans anyway." I'm not giving up so easily but I'll let her think I am.
