“…Bold of you to assume I’ll want to do this again,” I could hear the lie in my own voice, so I wasn’t surprised when he narrowed his eyes at me in disbelief.

What I wasn’t expecting, though, was for him to follow up my snark with some of his own, “Until you find another partner who can make you finish, I feel like our chances of a repeat experience are high.” I gaped at him, my eyes widening in humiliation, because I had momentarily forgotten that I had practically told him about his particular skillset before he got under my skirt a second time. “Until then,” with a casual lift of a shoulder as he dropped his hold on my neck to pick up his jacket and shirt off of the floor, “I’m all yours.”

I blinked. Flustered, embarrassed, confused.

“I—I—” I shook my head, snapping my mouth closed. I glanced down at the iPad and cup of pencils that were discarded over the front edge of the desk, and I circled the desk while Leo shrugged his leather jacket on and strutted toward my office door. That was the moment I froze. A cold feeling of horror washed over me.

Jesus fucking Christ, I had just had sex in my office with a coworker.

I was literally the head of Human Resources, and I just had a man bend me over and fuck my brains out.

Oh my god, oh my god.

“Wait,” I called to Leo as he opened the door. Thankfully all the lights behind him were out, indicating that we were still the only ones left in the office. Thank god the custodial crew didn’t come in until later.

I grabbed my purse and phone and hooked it on my shoulder before meeting him at my door, holding my palm out, “I need those back.”

Leo tilted his head, “What?”

I glared at him, glancing at the still empty hallway outside the doorway before meeting his eyes and raising my eyebrows expectantly, “My…my panties.”

Leo’s lips pulled back into a wide grin before he quickly dropped the smile and shook his head, “No.”

And then he waltzed out of my office.

“Leo,” I grumbled, scrambling after him, “They’re mine.”

“I earned them,” Leo called over his shoulder while pulling his phone out of his pocket to scroll through his notifications. As if he hadn’t just orchestrated the hottest sex of my life.

“You did not, they’re mine.”

“And yet…” he reached into his back pocket to pull them out, dangling them on his index finger as he grinned and winked at me. I gasped, terrified that someone could walk by and see him casually waving my panties around and reached for them.

But Leo was a tall man, and it took no effort for him to snatch my thong into his fist and lift it up above my head.

“Mr. Turner,” I grumbled, stomping to emphasize my seriousness.

“Oh, say that again,” Leo chuckled darkly before shoving my underwear into the pocket of his jacket. We made it to the elevators in front of Signe’s desk. He pressed the button to summon the car.

“I’m serious.” I reached around him, attempting to sneak my hand into his pocket myself before he stopped me with a firm grip on my wrist.

“As am I,” Leo grinned as he turned his pocket out of my reach, and pulled me into the suddenly opening elevator doors, “These are mine. They’ll look so nice in my nightstand drawer, right next to my lotion.”

Heat stained my neck and cheeks as I heard the elevator doors close behind me, yanking my arm out of his grip, “Are you for real?” I asked, holding my breath as he reached behind me to punch the button to the first floor.

“As I’ll ever be,” was his casual response. I grumbled, making my way to the other side of the small elevator cab, before his long arm looped around my waist and pulled me into his chest, my back to his front.

“Jacqueline,” Leo murmured against my ear. I could feel every muscle in me physically relax in his hold, at his words brushing over my skin, “You don’t like the thought of me keeping your panties?”

I blushed because his question made me think for a moment.

Why didn’t I want him to have them? Was it embarrassment? Definitely a bit of embarrassment.

“W-why do you want them so bad?” I asked in a whisper.

“I thought that was obvious,” Leo pressed his lips against the skin behind my ear, making me shiver, “They’re going to hold me over until next time.”

I swallowed, melting at the bluntness of his words.
