I follow his instructions as he stands up behind me, undoing his pants and lining himself up with me as I bend over.

“Grab the desk.”

I grin as I reach for the edge of the desk, just as I hear the rap of knuckles at my office door.

Fuck.

“Just a minute. I’m… changing.” I reach for an excuse for why my door would be locked and start to stand up.

"Okay. Come find me when you're out okay?" It's my director’s voice on the other side and my heart slams against my chest.

Tobias slides inside me before I can respond, his hand clamping over my mouth when I start to moan at how good it feels—so sensitive and on edge from how close he took me with his mouth that I’m on the verge of coming.

“Scarlett?” my director asks.

Tobias moves his hand so I can answer.

“Yep! Will do,” I say, doing my best not to sound like I’m getting fucked over my desk and failing.

“That’s my dirty girl,” Tobias whispers against the shell of my ear before he starts to fuck me. I don’t hear what she says in response, but I hear the faint retreating sound of her footsteps in the hall. “The way you fucking take me when we almost get caught. Fuck me…”

“So close,” I mutter, and he digs his fingers into the flesh of my hip, reaching his other hand around to give me the friction I need, and I’m coming a few seconds later—it’s so good I don’t care who hears us.

“That’s my girl. You deserve this. All of it for how fucking good you are.”

He tightens his grip on me as he starts to come, and I bend over the desk again, loving the way he feels when he comes inside me. He shudders his release, his hand massaging my ass for a moment, murmuring about how perfect I am before he pulls out of me.

I give myself a moment to catch my breath before I stand, cleaning up and straightening my clothes as he does the same. When I turn around, he slides his hand under my chin and kisses me.

“I love you, Scarlett,” he whispers against my lips. “I’m serious about how amazed I am by you. Keeping this place going with the bare minimum and creating what you have here. The vision you have. How tireless you are in the pursuit. I hope you know how much I’m in awe of you every fucking day. And I know I’m where I am because you used that magic on me too. None of us deserve you. But I’m going to work hard at it anyway.”

My heart swells with his words. Tobias is a kind and incredibly loving person underneath it all, but I know he’s also an honest person at his core, without reserve. So hearing it from him means all the more.

“I love you too.”

He kisses me one last time.

“All right. Now that I’m sure you’re completely sated, you can return to your adoring fans.” He kisses me on the forehead, and I kiss him back.

“What would I do without you?” I tilt my head, smiling at him.

“Good thing we have each other.”
