She lifted her ass off the table, meeting me, pausing in the center, where I circled my hips. Each rotation caused a different sensation. One that made it hard for me to fucking breathe. One that made it almost impossible for my balls not to explode.
“Sydney,” I moaned back. “Damn it.” I held her hip, increasing my speed. “I need you to come with me.”
“I’m already there.”
I didn’t hold back.
I didn’t go gently.
I added pressure, friction, driving into her cunt, each draw causing her roars to get louder.
As my balls started to constrict, she wrapped her arms around my shoulders, connecting our chests.
Our mouths.
Keeping me tightly inside her.
And after only a few dives, the eruption began.
Together.
“Sydney,” I demanded, my tone an order as my release started to tear through me. “Fucking Sydney.”
She was moaning even louder, giving me exactly what I wanted.
And just as her voice cut off, the shudders ripped through her stomach. Her pussy clenched, her wetness like a fucking hose as it coated me.
“Goddamn it.”
I let go.
The moment I did, a burst moved through my balls and across my stomach, the intensity so overwhelming that my fingers bit her.
“Fuck,” I growled.
“Ford!”
The first load shot into the condom.
“Oh my God!” she belted out, holding me even tighter.
I pulled back and drove in. “You’re fucking milking me.”
She was taking every drop, suctioning it from me, working the peak of my orgasm through my body.
“Yesss!”
I sucked her lip into my mouth, waiting for the intensity to slow from within us, easing the power behind my strokes until I was still. My thumb left her clit, and I surrounded her face, keeping her steady as I studied her eyes.
“Your pussy …” I shook my head. “Fuck, Sydney.” I pressed our foreheads together, our breaths mixing. “What I wouldn’t give to taste you again in the morning.”
“Mmm.” She smiled. “Sounds like you’re promising a second date.”
I kissed her.
I needed it.
The heat from her lips, the feel of them.
“I can do that.”
“I’m already looking forward to seeing you again.” She pecked my mouth, loosening her grip around my neck. “I know you have to go, but I have something for you to take home.”
“A present?” I ground my lip with my teeth. “You mean, you have more for me?”
She nodded. “I made homemade brownies.”
I was deep into my emails, finally having a few minutes to respond to my clients and their questions, when my phone rang. I reluctantly pulled my eyes away from the computer screen, and the caller ID showed it was my assistant, phoning from her desk on the other side of the wall.
I held the receiver to my face and said, “Morning, or is it”-I glanced at the monitor again, seeing that it was after three-“afternoon? Sorry. Hell, it’s been a day. What do you have for me?”
“The nanny is here for her interview. The final candidate.”
“Is she a good one? Because I’ve got to tell you, I haven’t loved the personalities of the last two. Excellent on paper, incredibly qualified, but too stern. I don’t need someone dripping in warmth, but I need someone Everly can connect with on some level.”
I’d expected professionalism, but I’d been met with icy exteriors. Middle-aged women, certainly well suited but more interested in education than athletics. I didn’t know how they would keep up with my constantly moving daughter, who preferred hiking over spelling and playing outside over coloring.
I also couldn’t picture either of them living in my house.
“This is my favorite of the three,” my assistant said. “She’s not the most qualified of the group; however, something tells me you’re really going to like her.”
“Excellent. Send her in.” I lifted my coffee cup to take a drink, realizing it was empty. “Any way you can grab me a coffee?”
“Of course.”
I hung up and returned to my emails, eventually hearing a knock at the door.
“Come in,” I announced.
The door opened as I was typing. But I didn’t glance up. I needed to get this whole thought out before I focused on anything else, especially given that the client I was responding to was paying me by the minute.
I hit Send and finally looked up.
It took a moment for my eyes to adjust, for me to realize what I was looking at.
Or better, who I was looking at.
“Sydney?”
“Hi.” The warmth on her face was contagious. “Your assistant told me to give you this.”
She smiled as she set the coffee cup on my desk and backed up to the set of chairs that were in front of me, taking a seat in one of them.
She looked stunning.
Her hair was down and curled around her face, and she was wearing a bright blue dress that flowed well past her knees, the color making her eyes pop. She had little makeup on, aside from a strong swipe of gloss across her lips.
A mouth I’d never seen glossy before.
A mouth that already owned my attention, and now, I couldn’t look away.
“What are you doing here?” I leaned my elbows on the desk, surrounding the cup with both hands. “Bringing me more dessert?” I glanced toward the closed door, hoping my assistant wouldn’t send in the nanny until after Sydney left. Since I hadn’t seen her in a couple days, I needed time with her, time to hear why she’d come to my office-something that seemed extremely out of character for her.
“No dessert.” She laughed, almost bashfully. “I’m here to be interviewed.” Her hands rested on her lap as she added, “Looks like I applied to be Everly’s nanny.”

SYDNEY
“Y
ou did … what?” Ford asked, shock and confusion filling his handsome face. “How?”
This was exactly what I hadn’t wanted. To have a conversation like the one that had just started.
To base this on lies.
I just wanted to tell him about the talk I’d had with Hannah when she dropped me off at my apartment, how she had told me about the position and persuaded me to apply.
