Chapter 21.

~Maya~

"Where have you been?' I asked Maria as she exit the elevator looking really flustered. "You're an hour late."

"Nowhere, just woke up late." She avoided my eyes. Telling me how bad of a liar she is. I crossed my arms and stared at her hard.

Feeling my stare, she turned around and sighed. She opened her mouth to reply when the elevator dinged and in came Jayden looking like he might burn from his fury. His eyes fixed on Maria when he grabbed her hand and took her to the end of the floor where a storage room took place.

I stood there shocked at what happened. My shocked turned into confliction when I remembered what Maria said last night. Should I help her or let them settle this? The lack of fight from Maria was surprising but I took that as a sign to leave them alone.

Sighing, I went back to my desk and started working but my mind still diverted to those two.

*****

Coming back from lunch, I saw Maria on her desk with her head in her hands. She denied my invitation to lunch much to my surprise and avoided all eye contact with me after she returned to her desk with Jayden on her toes.

Slightly hurt by her moves, I quietly snuck to Elijah's office. He was immensely focused in what he was doing and dint hear me come in. I took that time to look at him.

He was so deliciously sexy, it was hard to breathe sometimes. One look from him and my breath would catch. How is it possible for some to have such an effect on the other?

But there was one thing I knew for sure, I would never want to change what we felt for each other.

I cleared my throat, which snapped Elijah from whatever he was so focused in.

"Come here." Walking towards him, I placed our lunch on his desk and slid over his lap.

"Everything okay?" I asked when I saw the stress lines over his forehead.

"Yeah. Perfect." He smiled but even that looked strained. I open my mouth ask what was wrong again when he slammed his lips over mine shutting me up and make me forget everything and anything but him.

Pulling away he smiled and looked slightly relaxed. "Let's eat." I nodded and turned to get off his lap when he slid his nails in my hips halting me.

"Where are you going?" he asked, like he was genuinely confused.

Confused I looked at him "I thought you wanted to eat. I was going to set it on the coffee table"

"No. We're eating here." I laughed slightly and shook my head. Instead of fighting I turned around on his lap, grabbing our lunch and spreading it on his desk.

His hands slowly made their way down my both and finding its place between my legs. "Ever since I found out you've been bare just for me, I've been hard." To prove his point his thrust his hips up, showing me just how hard he was.

"And I've been waiting for you to do something about it ever since you found out." I teased but it was hard when he shoved a finger in me.

"Well I'm sorry to keep you waiting." I thought he was going to finish what he started but he removed his finger and moved it in his mouth. "Now that's delicious but I'm hungry for some real food. Let's eat." He winked whereas I just sat there with my mouth hanging open.

Regaining myself I straightened on his lap and continued to serve him. He had no idea what was coming for him.

*****

At five sharp there was a knock on my door. My head snapped up from the file I was working on and my lips stretched into a huge smile.

"Ready to go?" Elijah said, leaning against my door frame.

"Yes, just give me a second." I gathered all my stuff and shut down everything. Making my way towards him I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. Hard.

He met my passion with his own, wrapping his arms around me, pulling me closer to him.

When we broke apart, our pants fanning each other, he asked "What was that for?"

I shrugged but a huge grin plastered on my face "Because I can."

He laughed at that and pulled away but not completely. His arm still wrapped around me, we walked towards the elevator.

Descending down, my mind went towards Maria. At how distant she was all of a sudden. All day she avoided me and that stung. In a short time she became one of my closest friends.

"Elijah? Can I ask you something?" I asked as we settled in his car.

"What's the matter?" He eyes turning concerned but i rushed to appease him.

"Nothing bad. Just, what's going on with Maria and Jayden?"

"Ahh, so it begins again" He said, but his eyes taking an edge towards irritation.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

His eyes never leaving the road, he said "They have been together since I can remember. But can never decide what either of them wants."

I nod, remembering what Maria said. "She's in love with him."

His lips turn down in a tiny frown "So is he. They need to get their shit together and figure out what they want. It's getting really annoying now"

I nod agreeing to him.

I turn my eyes towards him, sinking him in. The way he dominates the car makes me want to give all my reigns to him. As if he doesn't have them already.

Feeling my eyes on him, he turned his gaze words mine. "What's going inside that pretty head of yours angel?"

"Nothing." I feigned an exasperated sigh. "Just how goddamn lucky you are to have me." It was hard but I managed to control my laugh, even when his lips turned up in a lopsided smirk.

"Remind me how lucky I actually am, when we get home."

I squeezed my legs as a pulse spiked between my legs. God will I ever stop wanting him.

"Stop looking at me like that angel. We won't have to wait till we get home."

I turned my attention towards the road, hiding my smile as well as my lust that was apparently cute clear on my face.

That was when I noticed we were actually heading towards his apartment.

"We're going to yours?" I asked although i knew the answer

"Yeah."

"But I need to go back to my apartment. I have nothing with me for tomorrow."

"Don't worry about that?" He said dryly, as if the mere conversation was boring for him.

"What is that supposed to mean? Am I not going to work tomorrow?"

"Of course you are. It's just that. I moved you in with me."

World stopped and so did my heart. What the fuck does that supposed to mean.

Not noticing my turmoil, he continued with a small shrug. "I thought it would be more convenient how we can easily go to the airport tomorrow together, without wasting time at yours."

Fucking hellingly what?
