Faith returned to the office.
She still couldn't get over the stares from her co-workers. She got that some were surprised by her return, while the rest like Darla and her friends hadn't made an effort to hide their displeasure.
Her eyes held his briefly and she experienced a swift change in her breathing, her heart was starting to pound too fast.
There had been a considerable change in their relationship, just like the way he was staring at her right now, making her mouth feel dehydrated.
"_And finally, by 2:PM, you have a meeting with the Benson's"
Faith tried to sound as professional as she could but knew she failed under his consuming stare.
"That's all, would you like to make any adjustments to your plans?"
His stare didn't waver, her heart missed another best when he straightened to his feet and started to prowl towards her.
"Yes, I would love to bend you over this desk and fuck you. Right here and now."
Faith choked on a breath, how could he utter things like that so casually?
Her muscles went tense when Sterling got to where she was, his fingers toying with the slender column of her neck.
"You have no idea that I've been thinking about this all day." He nuzzled her throat seductively and a slow crawl of pleasure slithered through her body, making her breaths come in silent pants.
The man was too sexy for his own good, Faith couldn't even begin to fight the sudden clench of her womanhood.
His arms wrapped around her waist, caging her against his chest, their thighs brushing against each other's.
She watched his dilated pupils and swallowed hard to moisten her mouth which seemed to have gone dry, a layer of common sense suddenly returned.
"This is not p_proper! I still have some work to do, w_we can't do this here!" She rushed out breathlessly and started to writhe against him, unaware that Sterling was completely enjoying her futile movements.
"As your boss, I'm relieving you from all your work about that?" Sterling kissed the skin of her neck, inhaling deeply as though he couldn't grasp enough of her scent.
Faith groaned aloud, he was not playing fair.
"This isn't right! S_someone might come inside and _ _!"
"They won't enter without my permission." Sterling cuts in, Faith found it difficult to think of some other excuse when he peppered soft kisses across her face that made her toes curl.
"Besides, you're my wife, who gives a fuck of what they think?"
Sterling felt her tense slightly against him, he knew the reason for her sudden rigidness, but he would continue to use the forbidden word until she got used to it.
"But they d_don't know that we're married!" Faith whispered some seconds later, and the weird sensation in her chest still lingered. Earlier, she had always accepted that their marriage wasn't real, that it was merely a condition that he'd given.
She was always so opposed to that word, why did she like the way he had so easily said it?
She recognized the emotions brewing up in her as longing.
She wished she was his "wife"
At this point, he'd ruined her for any other man.
Where would she find such another gorgeous man that would make her life as exciting as it was now?
Someone that would make her feel as though she wasn't alone.
Despite the circumstances that brought them together, he made her feel secure and cared for.
It was at this moment that Faith realized that she wanted to mean more to him.
But was that even possible?
What if to him, she was nothing more than a woman who had sold herself for money?
Was her worth lesser in his eyes now?
Faith had never worried about these things before now. She wanted to know what he thought of her, perhaps she was better off not knowing.
She decided that she wouldn't ask him when their relationship would end, for the first time in her life, she wanted to just live in the moment, with no worries about the future.
Faith thought she managed to surprise herself and him when she molded herself to him and drew his mouth to hers.
She suckled gently on his full bottom lip, moaning in protest when he deepened the kiss with his tongue, ruining the slow and gentle sweet kiss she had planned.
His hand cradled the base of her head, entwining his tongue with hers until she felt her lower belly would explode with need.
A groan escaped sterling's mouth as he backed her against the wall, nudging her thighs with his knee while his other hand kneaded her ass through her clothes.
Then, the interruption came. A knock sounded on the door.
Too distracted, they didn't hear it the first time.
The sound came again and Faith's eyes flew open.
"Was that __"
"Ignore it, they won't enter if I don't give permission." Sterling kissed her red swollen lips, but then the knock sounded again and he cursed under his breath.
The irritation was evident in his eyes, his features were those of a child who was denied candy.
Faith could still feel his erection pressed against her thighs and giggled.
"Who knows, it could be more urgent than your pressing need, I think you better answer."
Sterling's frown didn't ease at her playful tone.
"It better be, or someone's ass is getting fired!" He muttered, not even half-joking.
