Ignite Me: Shards of Glass, Part One (65 page)

He rubbed his erection out deep inside me, whispering romantic, sinful things into my ear.

I reached a hand up and stroked his damp hair as he collapsed, his head in the crook of my neck. We were both panting.

“That's the best morning sex I've ever had.” I grinned as I softly stroked his hair, I loved this part the best, when he was happy and spent, my man was laying on top of me, still buried in me and I loved how we felt.

“I adore your fingers in my hair, Miss Watson you are fucking wonderful!” His voice was muffled into my neck.

I smoothed his hair. “What does topping from the bottom actually mean?!” It was annoying me that I didn't know.

“It's not important, it's not a bad thing, please don't worry! I adore when you top from the bottom.” He kissed my neck.

I let a breath go. I would just google it later on, I wouldn't press him for answers not while he was being so tender. “Okay. Can I have a drink? You're very warm!”

He grinned as he moved back to pull out of me.

“Oh.” I breathed out, I always felt empty when he pulled out like that. He handed me a glass as I sat up.

I drank half of it down, letting it quench my fire. “Oh wow that was so good.”

He took the glass and drank the second half. “Let's go for that shower! I think we could both do with one.” He grinned at me.

I really hoped this, wouldn't he round three. “Just for a shower, right?!”

He chuckled. “Yes, darling, don't worry, I promise I won't jump you again!”

I giggled. “It's cool, I enjoyed before by the way, well the whole thing was mind blowing.”

He smirked. “Let me carry you to the shower! You were wonderful.”

I frowned. “Why do you want to carry me?!” I shifted to the end of the bed. Last night I had been in his lap so I'd not said anything.

He reached down and lifted me like I weighed nothing, I put my arm around his neck for support.

“Because I like to, and because I want to take care of you! It's my job as a top to make sure you're okay after.” He went silent. “Shit, sorry.”

It dawned on me he would have carried the other 7 around like this. “You said you didn't like being touched.” I was a little confused and slightly insulted, he'd referred to himself as my top.

“So you're my top now is there even a difference between that and a dominant?!”

“No, I'm your boyfriend, but what we just did you look tired and I just wanted to make sure I looked after you. Tops or even Dominants have to make sure their bottom or submissive is taken care of! Baby, you are my first real girlfriend so I'm still learning to use different terminology, I am sorry.”

“They still would have had to touch you though!” That's what I didn't understand.

He sighed as he reached the bathroom. “I never liked them touching me when I took care of them but I tolerated it! Let me assure you I've never lost myself in them like I do you! Don't let thoughts of my previous life mess things up for us. We both have pasts! I don't like the idea of Sean touching you either.”

I sighed. I guess the bottom line was that I was a little jealous, but I tried not to let it get to me. “It's okay.” I grinned at him as he put me down on my feet.

His fingers traced my face. “Don't be jealous! I am in love with you and that's what matters! You okay to share a shower?!” He searched my face with concerned eyes.

“I can't help it! I've had one previous boyfriend and you've had all these kinky relationships with other women and I've got nothing to base my experience on, but yeah I'm okay to share a shower! And I know you love me, I do love you too, just be patient with me.”

chapter 35

An hour later and I was standing in the lift room with Cameron, he was dressed in a very nice charcoal gray suit with his briefcase.

“Jones will come back after he drops me at work and bring you to Ballard House for 1pm! He will have your ID for security and the lifts, travel to floor 22 and my PA will meet you and bring you to me! We shall have lunch there before we go shopping! You okay with that?!” He pressed the button for the lift.

“Yeah, that's fine, I'm excited to see what your building looks like! Have a good morning at work!” I grinned and stepped forward and kissed him softly.

He grinned as the lift doors slid open. “I will do! And I am also excited for you to see it! See you later darling!” He kissed me back then stepped back into the lift.

I leant against the table and blew him a kiss as the lift doors closed. I watched for a few seconds as the lift started to travel down before turning around and walking back out. I had work to do, Cameron had set up my laptop in the library room so that's where I headed.

Two hours later and the clock stuck 11.00am, I was all done with my work emails so I closed down the laptop, I had hoped I'd maybe have an email from Jess but there wasn't any. I glanced outside and decided to spend the last hour or so sunbathing on the balcony in Cameron's room. I wondered where he kept the sun lotion, but figured Jones would know so I walked down the corridor to his office and gently knocked. A few moments later I heard him call. “Come in Miss Watson!”

I pushed open the door and walked in, I'd never seen his office before. It was fairly basic, cream walls with a flank of heavy looking filling cabinets and CCTV screens above that, his desk was in the middle of the room with him sat behind.

“How can I help Miss Watson?!” He smiled kindly.

Oh my god every room in the apartment has CCTV cameras, how have I not noticed them?!
I was suddenly embarrassed.

“Oh, uh, I was wondering if Cameron has any sun lotion I was gonna go sunbathing on his balcony, but I burn really fast in this kinda sun!”

He smiled. “Ah, of course, I'll fetch you some, what SPF would you like?! I would recommend at least SPF 30.” He got up from his desk.

“Oh the highest you have please!” I followed him back out into the hallway and back into the park side, where he stopped and pressed a panel in the wall, it slid open revealing a large storage area, with various products in. He rummaged around for a few moments and pulled out a bottle and held it out to me. “SPF 70! Re-spray every 80 minutes to avoid being burnt! And forgive me for saying this, but Mr. Ballard wouldn't like you to over expose yourself, not that you would of course.” He slid the door shut and I stood with my mouth open.

“Oh wow... Yeah, I'm not about sunbathe topless Jones you can relax!” I chuckled.

He grinned. “Ah, good, well I'll see you again later, you okay to go at 12.15?! It takes a while to drive in heavy traffic!”

I nodded. “Sure thing and thanks for this!” I waved the bottle.

“You are welcome Miss Watson!”

I sighed. “Please call me Evan! Miss Watson is so formal!”

He smiled kindly at me. “I would prefer Miss Watson but thank you!”

I frowned. “If that's what you feel comfortable with.” I was sure it was something he had always done, so I would respect that. I walked back into Cameron's room and headed for the balcony. I sprayed the sun lotion on all my exposed skin and put my sunglasses on.

I made myself comfortable on the lounger Cameron had been laying on. I glanced at my legs in my denim shorts and grabbed my phone from my pocket and took a photo and uploaded it to Instagram.

Legs or hotdogs... No hotdogs that pale anywhere... #summer #finally #hot #london #palelife #Sunbathing #naked #notactuallynaked

I put my phone down and laid back enjoying the feel of the Suns warmth on my skin. I was just drifting off into a daydream when my phone beeped and vibrated next to me. I glanced down at it, saw a text from Cameron.

Those legs! I hope you have sun lotion on and aren't over exposed! Also, they look nothing like hot dogs! What's that about?! X CB.

I snorted with laughter, I would have to inform him of the wonder that was hotdogs or legs! I typed a reply.

SPF70 was supplied by Jones and yes, I'm completely naked! Rather nice breeze from up here! Especially since that helicopter keeps flying past! X

I started laughing at my joke, why would he think I'd strip off to sunbathe?! He'd seen me naked, he must have realised I was pale aside from my arms, legs and face! My phone rang a few minutes later. I sighed and picked it up, it was Cameron.

“Was that a joke?!” He was being restrained.

I sighed. “Yes of course it was! As if I'd actually be out here butt naked! Especially after the safety lecture from Jones! I have shorts on as you saw this morning!”

He let a breath go. “I know you are prone to sarcasm and its part of why I love you, but over text I never know if you're being serious! I never want anyone to see what I see! That glorious view is for my eyes only!”

I rolled my eyes. “Trust me only you will ever get to see me naked as the day I was born! I was just playing with you is all! So you not hard at work?!” I checked my watch I had a little time as yet.

He laughed. “Oh, I've been working my staff hard, and I'm now back in my office waiting for a few things to print and then of course I get to see you! I've ordered us a light lunch due to the heat, a tuna and sweetcorn pasta salad I knew you'd eat that.”

It sounded so good it made my tummy rumble. “Oh, that sounds fantastic! I am looking forward to seeing your place of work! I've emailed my songs off now so at least that's something off my mind.”

“Yes, so I see! Well, I'd better go, I've got to sign some things before you arrive, see you later darling.”

I grinned. “See you later, love you.”

I heard him chuckle. “I love you too!”

He cut the call and I got up. I wanted to get my stuff ready so I would be on time to leave. I wondered where he would take me for the dress?! I headed for the walk in closet and stood and looked at the shoes, wondering if I should change, but it was hot and I didn't want to wear a skirt or jeans so he'd just have to suck it up, he'd bought them after all. I pulled the purple sparkly creepers out and pulled them on doing them up before grabbing a light denim jacket, it was far too plain for my liking I'd have to get some patches and badges and customize it. I’d not had time to finish the one I’d shoved in my backpack.

After I'd grabbed my bag and bottle of water I met Jones near the city side.

“I'm ready to go, Cameron said earlier you'd have some ID for me and swipe card for the security and lift?!”

He smiled and handed me a lanyard and a swipe card.

“Don't lose them! That's your personal one! It's got your photo on it.” He smiled.

“Has it?!” I turned the lanyard over in my hand and grinned, seeing my face staring back at me. Cameron had used one of our lift photos for it, only he was cropped out.

“Cool. And don't worry, I'm not letting these babies out of my sight!” I pulled the landward on. It was black with Ballard House in a gold repeated print. The card was also black with the gold lettering.

“This way Miss Watson, we had better make a move.” He pushed open the door to the lifts and waited for me to pass him.

“Sure thing.” I stowed the lift card in the back of the plastic case that held the I.D card on the lanyard. That way I'd know where it was.

45 minutes later and Jones had dropped me off at the side of Cameron's building with instructions to walk around and go in the front way. I wandered around to the front and stood and stared upwards at the building. It was on the South Bank of the river. It was all glass and metal and jutted upwards into the sky, with large gold lettering half way up. 'Ballard House.' There were various people milling around at the entrance mostly well-dressed business types, but I spotted a few music types and I was glad because I felt underdressed. I pulled the lift card out of the lanyard and pulled my shoulders back and walked in with confidence. I was immediately in awe, it was all black marble flooring with high ceilings and pale cream walls with various modern art statues around the entrance area. I glanced around and spotted the turnstiles where you entered and exited the lifts. I walked towards them and scanned my card, I smiled as it gave a satisfactory beep and swung open for me to pass though.

I made my way through to the bank of four lifts and pressed the call button. I stepped back and wondered what lift would open first. The lift doors of the third one rolled open and as I went to step in I glanced up and saw Cameron leaning casually against the back of the lift.

“Hello Miss Watson! Welcome to Ballard House!” He eyed me with hungry eyes.

“Why thank you, Mr. Ballard for such a nice welcome!” I stepped in and swiped my card and hit the button for level 22 as he'd told me to that morning. I did wonder why he was in the lift and not in his office.

“I've missed you darling!” He dragged me towards him and buried his head in my hair.

“Well, it's only been a few hours!” I giggled as I let his scent wash over me, God he smelt good.

His lips brushed against mine softly as I wound my hands into his hair.

We pulled apart from the kiss after a while and both grinned at each other.

“So why were you in the lift?! There was three others that might have come before this one!” I grinned, wondering what he would have done if I had got into one of the other lifts.

He chuckled. “I hoped for the best! And I had been to sort out a minor situation, but that's irrelevant! It's heating up outside I see!” His change of subject made me wonder what the situation had been.

“Yeah it's actually hot! Jones said it had reached 30'c and was rising! This is a sticky heat in the city though! I'm glad I've got shorts on!”

He grinned. “Yes, I think the UK is in for a bit of heat for the next few days at least! We could go for a picnic in the park Tuesday if you wanted?! Hyde Park is full of trees to shelter under! I can have a picnic basket made up for the afternoon!” His smile reached his eyes and he seemed excited about his idea.

I smiled widely, it sounded wonderful. “Oh wow, that's a brilliant idea! I'd love that, but don't you have work?!” I was worried he'd neglect work things because of me.
