“Chad!” Melody’s screechy voice broke them apart. “What are you doing?”

Ali pulled away and brought her hand to her lips.

“I miss you, Alessandra.” He tried to pull her closer as she moved away. “I made a mistake. Please take me back.”

“Chad!” Melody stomped her foot.

“My life is hell.” He swallowed, reaching for Ali’s hands. “I shouldn’t have left you. I shouldn’t have cheated.”

“Chad!”

Ali glanced around, noting the people that started to stare. She met Chad’s eyes and shook her head. “You made your bed. Now you have to lie in it.”

She left him and his screeching girlfriend in the middle of the aisle as she went to check out. Her shopping trip was officially over. She dug in her purse for her credit card and found Sean’s business card beaming up at her. She wanted to see him. If for nothing else than to say hi.

After collecting her bags, she climbed in her car and headed toward Sean’s work. It was completely ridiculous to physically need to see her lover, but Ali wanted his arms around her. She wanted to feel his touch, see his smile.

She parked in front of his office building, biting her lower lip. He’d probably think she was completely insane for showing up unannounced. She hadn’t even processed what happened in the store with Chad yet. She pushed her sunglasses on top of her head and stared at the front door, afraid to move. Chad had kissed her. He’d apologized. He’d said he wanted her back. The thoughts roamed around in her mind, making her head spin.

She reached for the door handle blindly and got out. In the back of her mind, she knew she should probably turn to Nina for the advice she needed. The cool air inside the building was a drastic contrast to the hot air outside. She stepped inside with her flip-flops flapping, heading to the front desk.

“Hi, is Sean available?”

The lady eyed her. “Just a moment.”

She punched buttons on her phone while Ali waited. Yes, she had to be completely crazy for showing up at his work unannounced.

“Mr. Graham will see you now.” She waved her hand in a classic Vanna White motion toward the only hallway.

Ali nodded. Her stomach knotted as she stepped closer to his office. The place was busy, people running around everywhere. She hadn’t the slightest idea where she was supposed to go and followed the main hall toward a bunch of closed doors. Thankfully, one of them had Sean Graham’s name on it. She knocked.

“Yeah?”

Ali opened the door and stepped inside. “Can I bug you for a minute?”

He lifted his gaze from his computer, spotted her, and smiled. “You can bug me for as long as you want.”

She smiled, closing the door behind her. “I’m sorry I didn’t call first. I probably should have, but I went shopping and ran into someone unexpectedly.” She hesitated, uncertainty creeping over her as she watched him

“Who did you run into?” He motioned her over, pushing back slightly from his desk.

Ali came to him, settling on his lap. She bit her lip. “I ran into Chad.”

He cupped the back of her head and pulled her toward him for a kiss. “Who’s Chad?”

He stole her breath away, making her forget the previous thirty minutes with her ex. His hand skimmed her bare thigh. He set her body on fire and she couldn’t get enough of it.

“Chad is my ex.” She pulled back long enough to gauge his reaction.

“Did you tell him to fuck off?” Sean’s hand brushed along her leg.

“No. He kissed me.” Sean paused. “He told me he wanted me back.”

Sean pulled away and dropped his hand to the side. “Do you want him back?”

“No.” She bit her lip. “It just shocked me. I didn’t expect him to admit he was wrong. I didn’t expect to have him say everything I wanted to hear and simply not care. I’m a little baffled.”

 
Sean leaned back. “Are you okay?”

She nodded. “I know it sounds bad, but I couldn’t help noticing how old he looked. I watched him briefly with his twenty-year-old girlfriend and I couldn’t help thinking of how much he looked like her father instead of her fiancé.”

Sean wrapped his arms around her, pulling her against him. “We’re nothing like them.”

She sat up and met his eyes. “You don’t think I look old?”

He kissed her. “No. You don’t look old. You’re beautiful and sexy. I get hard thinking about your sweet little body beneath me. On top of me. I can still fill the way your pussy grips me when I make you come. It’s like you never want me to go. And to be honest, I never want to go.”

She wrapped her arms around his neck. “You’re so charming.”

He chuckled. His hand came back to her thigh, lightly caressing. “You’re beautiful, Ali.”

Before, when a man told her that, she hadn’t believed it. Even now, she didn’t take his statement seriously, but the look in his eyes made her wonder. It made her think way too much about the possibilities of their future, even though she knew they had no future together.

“A friend of mine owns a restaurant that specializes in salsa dancing and asked me to come by tonight. Care to join me?”

“I can’t dance.”

“Good, because neither can I.” He kissed her cheek. “He wanted me to try the food.”

She smiled. “Fine. I bought a new outfit today. I could wear it tonight.”

He cupped her cheeks and kissed her. “I can’t wait to see it.”

* * * *

Sean agreed to meet Ali at the restaurant instead of driving home to pick her up. He went inside and settled at the table while a fast Latin beat played in the background. People gathered on the dance floor in the middle of the room and danced to the beat. He watched, amazed at the sight.

“Care to dance?”

Sean turned and smiled when Ali stood before him dressed in a slinky, red, V-neck dress that accented her cleavage. Her hair was pulled back with a few tendrils framing her face. She was so beautiful, and he told her so.

“Thank you.” She reached for his hand. “Come on. I’ll look like a fool, but I can’t simply sit in my seat with this song playing.”

He let her lead him to the dance floor. Their bodies slid against each other as they danced. Ali swayed her hips and turned, giving him a great view of her backside. He wrapped an arm around her waist and held her close, letting her rub her ass against his cock. It was going to be a long night if he had to sit through dinner and dance with an erection as hard as a diamond.

He pressed his face against her neck, moving along with her. He didn’t care if people watched. Ali was in his arms and the world seemed to drift away. She turned to face him, letting him spin her, and he pulled her back against his body. They laughed at one another, loving every minute of it. In the short time he had known her, he’d never seen her so happy. Even after the day she’d had with seeing her ex and the woman he’d knocked up, she was smiling and enjoying herself.

He pulled her to him and whispered in her ear. “You’re beautiful when you smile.”

Her lips tilted upwards. They danced through three songs until they were sweaty and exhausted. He’d lost his suit jacket along the way and rolled up his shirtsleeves. The room was indeed hot, as if the air conditioning had broken. Sweat dotted Ali’s skin, rolling down her neck, between her breasts. Sean eyed her, wishing at that moment they were in a more private place.

“Let’s order something to eat. I’m hungry.” She grabbed both of his hands and led him back to their original table.

“I’m hungry, too, but not for food.” Sean leaned down, tasting the saltiness of her skin as he pressed his lips to her shoulder.

“Behave.” Ali ordered a large plate of nachos for the both of them. After the waiter left, she focused her attention on him and said, “I love this place.”

He smiled. “I’m glad. Hopefully the food will be just as good.”

She stared at him a moment. “What’s wrong? You’re extremely quiet.”

Sean shrugged. “I’m tired. You wore me out on the dance floor.”

She snorted. “Save your strength. You’ll need it later.”

And she was right. As soon as they arrived home, they didn’t make it inside before she was in his arms, legs wrapped around his waist. He tried fishing for the right key to unlock the door, but his sultry vixen had her hand in his pants, making him forget his own name. He groaned when she squeezed him. He sat her on top of the car and settled between her thighs. She undid his belt and glided the zipper over the stiff bulge.

“I need you inside me now, Sean.”

Before she pushed his pants down, he grabbed the condom he’d stored in his pocket. He set it to the side, closing his eyes as she stroked him. With what little reason he had in his mind, he said, “We need to go inside.”

“Why?” She kissed him. “It feels so good out here after being cooped up in that hot restaurant. I’m burning up and want nothing but the ocean air caressing my skin.” She gave him a devilish smile. “Well, that and you, of course.”

He didn’t have to be convinced anymore. He pulled her forward and slid his hands up her thighs. She’d chosen not to wear panties and her smooth pussy was slick with her moisture. His fingers traced along her folds, dipping between to find her clit. She kissed him, mimicking with her tongue what he wanted to do with their bodies.

“Fuck me, Sean,” she whispered against his wet lips. “I want you inside me now.”

With one hand, Sean reached out blindly for the condom. He took care of the protection and positioned himself against her. Ali leaned back on her hands, lifting her hips slightly to rub herself against him. Sean clenched his jaw and gripped her hips, holding her while he pushed forward. His hands cupped her ass as her body accepted every inch of him.

Her head dropped back. The dancing tonight had been foreplay. He’d realized it the moment Ali refused to dance with another person. He’d wanted her in his office. Hell, he’d thought about her every second of every day since he met her.

Her pussy tightened around him, and she came without warning as he thrust inside her. What the hell was wrong with him? She cupped his cheeks and pulled his mouth against hers as his orgasm overtook him. Her body was so sweet, so soft, and he simply couldn’t get enough.

“We probably need to go inside.” Ali pulled back and stared into his eyes. The bright moonlight cast a soft glow on her sweaty skin. “I’d really like a shower.”

He smiled. “Yeah? I’d really like to get out of this suit.”

They barely made it inside Sean’s house before Ali jumped him. They tumbled to the couch, struggling with clothing as Ali straddled him. She pulled her dress over her head before leaning down to kiss him again. He cupped her breasts as she pulled at his shirt.

“Please tell me you have condoms nearby.” Ali pulled his lip between her teeth as she undid his pants.

“Bedroom.”

Ali groaned. “Take your pants off while I get them.”

She climbed off and practically ran toward the hall. Sean sucked in a breath then blew it out, trying to calm himself. The crotch of his black pants gleamed with her moisture. Sean chuckled to himself and took the remaining articles of clothing off. Ali came back with three condoms in hand.

“Have we almost used up your supply?”

He shook his head. “I have more.”

Her eyebrow arched, though she didn’t say anything. She pulled a packet off and undid it. “Do you normally keep several boxes of condoms around…just in case?”

She straddled him and rolled the protection on.

“No.” He unhooked her bra. “Not normally. But I do believe in being prepared.”

She smiled. “A regular boy scout, huh?”

She positioned his cock at her entrance and sank down on him. Sean bit his lip, watching her face while she rode him. He reached out to pull her to him, tasting her sweet mouth again. He was a junkie with an addiction when it came to Ali, and he’d never get enough. Damn, she was a good fit for him.

He brushed his hands down her back and cupped her ass. Ali ran her fingers through his hair and smashed her lips against his. She came hard, clenching his dick inside her and pushing him over the edge with her. Sean didn’t have time to comprehend anything as his body took over, pleasure coursing through his veins.

Then they were rolling. Ali fell on her back between the couch and coffee table with Sean on top of her. He chuckled and pulled back, looking down at her on the floor, trying his best not to crush her with his weight.
