Stalking His Claim - Lucy Darling Page 0,25

I don’t? I did just take a step towards getting past them by getting into a cab. That has to be progress.

I give her the address before I reach out to my doctor's office to see about them calling in a prescription for me. When I step out of the cab, I look up at the giant building in front of me. Sometimes I forget how big and powerful Reed Weston has become. When we’re in bed it’s only the two of us. Nothing else. This can be intimidating.

I head inside the building noticing that security is checking everyone as they come in. “Ms. Morgan, you can come this way.” I jerk my head around to look to one of the men who is waving me in to bypass security. How the heck did he know my name?

“Thanks.” I give him a smile as I head towards the elevator. I freeze when I see a bunch of people waiting to get on. I can do this, I tell myself. I’m in Reed’s office building and nothing bad is going to happen. I silently repeat those words to myself over and over. I step on with everyone else hitting the button to go to Reed’s office. The ride is long with people getting off one by one on different floors. Finally I’m alone as we reach the top. The doors slide open. I step out wondering which way I should go.

“Ms. Morgan.”

“Robert?” I smile at him. Finally someone I know. “I told you to call me Tinsley.”

“Sorry. It’s a habit. Are you here to see Reed?”

“I brought him lunch.” I show him my basket.

“You brought him lunch?”

“That’s what I said.” I laugh.

“Okay. Let me tell him you’re here.”

“No, which office is his? I’ll tell him myself.” Robert looks hesitant but points to the two double doors.

“Thanks.” I head down toward them. Maybe I should knock, but I’m nosy and want to catch him off guard. I pull on the door to open it only a little so I can slip in. Reed has his phone to his ear and his eyes come to me.

“I’ve got to go.” He ends the call. “Tinsley. Is everything okay?” Concern shows in his face.

“I brought you lunch.” He stands, coming around his desk. He looks so handsome in his suit. I hold my breath wondering how he’s going to greet me. He takes the basket from my hand before he wraps his other arm around me, pulling me into his big body. He drops a kiss on my lips until I’m breathless.

“Thank you, sweetheart.” My heart flutters. This feels so real. He flips the lock on his door. “Come.” He holds his hand out to me. I grab it. He intertwines our fingers together, leading me toward his desk.

He sets the basket down on top of the desk. He guides me towards his chair where he sits, pulling me down into his lap. I go easily, loving that he’s happy to see me.

“Are you hungry?” I ask as I reach for the basket. His hand grabs mine, stopping me from getting the basket.

“Yes. But not for food. I missed you,” he says as his hand runs up my bare leg, causing me to giggle. He pushes my hair aside and kisses my neck. I turn in his lap to straddle him.

“Are you sure you’re not busy? I can go,” I tease.

“You’re not going anywhere. Ever.” Butterflies dance in my stomach. I want that to be true. His hands slip up under my dress. “Tinsley.” He growls my name, giving my ass a squeeze. “No panties?”

I shake my head no. I grab his tie, pulling him to me. “I’m not hungry for food either.”

Reed

I grip her ass tighter, picking her up and sitting her down onto my desk. In one quick push I make room for her, not caring what breaks as it hits the floor. I still can’t believe she came here. I’d been thinking about her all day. I debated not going to work, but I didn't want to smother her. When she’s near I can’t keep my hands off her. I don’t want to scare her with my need for her.

I keep losing control when it comes to her. I had no idea I would be this aggressive when it came to sex. All I want to do is dominate her and mark her as mine. It might be that the dam has finally broken. She’s mine for the taking and I can’t
