Chapter Four
“You feel so good, Tom. I missed this. I’ve missed you.”
His hand stilled before he placed a kiss on her neck. “I missed you too, Jordyn—so much. I know we can’t change what happened, but we’re here now.”
Jordyn’s hands reached up behind her back and tangled themselves in his hair. She began to massage the hair at the nape of his neck as she felt some of the tension leave his body.
She brought one of his hands up to her mouth, and placed a soft kiss there, letting her lips linger for a bit as she traced the scars on the palm of his thumb. “I remember this.”
“That summer we tried to go camping, and you nearly nailed my finger to the ground.”
Jordyn laughed as she leaned into his embrace. “It’s not like I was trying to do it on purpose. You didn’t move your hand on time.”
Tom kissed her shoulder. “How was I supposed to know that the hammer would come hammering down?”
Jordyn’s mouth curled into a smile. “That’s generally what happens when you pick up a hammer and a nail.”
Tom shook his head. “I think you were just mad that I got us lost in the first place.”
Jordyn sighed in exasperation. “I can’t believe you’re still going on about that. I wasn’t mad, okay? I was just annoyed, and I know that these things happen.”
Tom poked her in the back, and she yelped. “Come on, you were totally mad, but I have to admit. I still wanted to kiss you like crazy.”
Jordyn spun around and grabbed him by the shirt. “Then why haven’t you?”
Tom grinned. “I was waiting for you to admit to wanting it as much as I do.”
Jordyn made a sound in the back of her throat before she molded her lips to his. She registered his surprise at first before he gradually relaxed, and melted into the kiss, kissing her with as much fervor as he could muster.
Jordyn nibbled on his bottom lip, softly at first then she took the bottom lip between her front teeth till his mouth parted open, and their tongues began to battle for dominance.
Tom made a noise in the back of his throat, and pushed Jordyn up against the wall, and held her hands above her head. Jordyn moaned as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Tom’s hand came up to caress her thigh, and he hiked her skirt up, so he could have better access. He let his hand trail across her thighs making her tremble with desire.
She ran her hands up and down his shoulders until they moved under his shirt and began to trace the planes of his back. Tom shuddered beneath her weight until her hands began to tug on the hem of his shirt. He pulled back and chucked his shirt off and tossed it into a pile in the corner of the room. Jordyn traced the scars she already knew on his back, and lightly ran her fingers across the other ones as she kissed him back with all the longing and aching held back for 3 years.
Tom’s hands danced across the length of her thighs as he lifted her legs up, and helped her out of her shoes. He kicked them to the corner, and placed himself between her legs. He ran his hands up and down her legs until she was quivering beneath his touch. His hands traveled up to her breasts, and he undid two more buttons till her breasts were spilling out of her blouse. He smiled against her lips as he fumbled with the last two buttons before he growled in frustration, and the sound of fabric ripping could be heard throughout the empty conference room.
“I happened to like that blouse,” she teased, throatily.
“I happen to think you look better without it,” he responded, not missing a beat as he undid the clasp on her bra. A gust of cold air blew into the conference room causing shivers to dance across her skin. Tom began to kiss the arms that were covered in chills, taking time to kiss every single inch of available skin. His hands went behind her back, and he undid the clasp of her bra in one swift movement, and her breasts sprung free, and stood erect. Tom mumbled in pleasure as he took one nipple between his teeth, and the other, he began to knead with his hands. Impatient for any kind of friction, Jordyn began to grind against him causing Tom to moan in satisfaction. Her hands began to fumble around blindly as the stopped at his belt, and she struggled to undo it.
Tom pulled back, undid the belt, and she helped him kick off his pants as he stood there in his boxer shorts. His erection became visible as he pressed himself against her wet center.
Jordyn groaned as she wrapped both legs around his waist, and began to pant in anticipation. Tom lathered a lot of attention on one breast, then when he was done, he moved to the other one, and gave it the same amount of attention till they were both standing, smooth as pebbles.
He gave her a wicked grin as his hands snaked under her skirt and moved to rest on top of her panties. He began to rub her over the smooth fabric, and Jordyn bit her lip to keep the whimper from escaping.
He began to rub her faster as he sunk his teeth into her neck. They both froze as the sound of a knock filled the empty room.
“Ms. Ross?” A tentative voice came from the other side of the room. Jordyn realized that it was one of their interns, Joey or something. Carrie probably sent him to check on them. After all, they were gone for a really long time.
“Yes, Joey?” She cleared her throat to try to make it sound less hoarse. Meanwhile, Tom hadn’t stopped his assault on her, and it was taking all the effort she had to keep from sighing in pleasure.
“Mrs. Carrie sent me to check on you, to see if everything was okay.”
Jordyn bit her lip as Tom began to tug on her skirt till it was pooled around her feet. He bent down, and removed it slowly, never once taking his eyes away from her face.
Jordyn swallowed. “Yes, everything is fine. We’re just discussing the video. The Captain and I seem to have a difference of opinion about how things should be handled, and we will not be leaving this room until we are both quite satisfied.”
Tom’s hot breath blew on her inner thigh, and he bit it gently. Jordyn buried her hands in his face as she yanked on his head and pulled him closer. Tom licked her thigh until he made it all the way up to her crotch.
“Alright, I’ll let her known then.”
“Thank you,” she managed to get out before she let her head roll back as Tom pushed her panties aside and began to lick her center. Jordyn bit down on her bottom lip hard as he began hitting her sweet spot while his hand came up to play with her breasts.
Jordyn yanked on his head until he stopped, and she brought his head up to hers. Her lips descended onto his, and they both moaned as they moved backwards. Tom gently pushed her back until she was laying on top of the conference room table. Both her legs wrapped around his waist, she pulled him closer as he began running his hands over her body causing her entire body to shudder in pleasure.
Jordyn began to place light kisses on his chest, his neck, his torso, all the way to his happy trail, and she cupped him between her palms and gently squeezed. He twitched in response, and Tom’s entire body grew taut with desire.
He reached down and pulled her panties to the side before he pushed three fingers in. He growled in impatience as he tried to remove the panties, but eventually, he got so frustrated, he tore them off.
“I don’t remember you being this impatient,” Jordyn mumbled, her throat sounding hoarse from all the shouting.
“It’s been 3 years. My body misses you too much.”
“I can see I’m going to have to buy new clothes.”
Tom grinned as he leaned down and placed a sweet kiss on her lips. His eyes sparkled with concern as he stopped. “Seriously though, if you feel like I’m going to fast, or I’m being too hard on you. Just tell me, and I’ll stop.”
“Want you to stop? Are you kidding me? Tom, I’ve thought about this for so long, dreamed about it for so long, but I never imagined that we’d be back here. After Gracie, I didn’t allow myself to even think it was possible, but Tom, I feel closer to her right now.”
Tom’s eyes sparkled with unshed tears. “Yeah, I know. Me too.”
He captured her lips in a sweet kiss, but soon the pace of the kiss changed from sweet to sensual, and he was pushing her back against the conference desk. He stood between her legs, and grinded against her, the sound of their moans echoing in the conference room.
Jordyn began to claw his back, eager to get as much of him as possible. She sat up, and impatiently pushed down his boxers, letting his erection spring free. She marveled at its size, having forgotten what it looked like.
Tom’s eyes darkened as he stood still, waiting to see what she’d say. “Like what you see?”
“Very much.” She licked her lips. “I’d like it even better somewhere else.”
“I’d like that too.” His lips crashed onto hers. positioned himself, and in one swift movement, he thrust into her. Jordyn cried out as her hands tangled themselves in his hair.
“You feel freaking amazing, Jor. I’d almost forgotten,” he whispered into her ear as he took her earlobe between his two teeth and nibbled gently. Jordyn ran her tongue over his neck, slowly, and she began to kiss him. “So do you,” she panted out as she felt him fill her up completely.
A knock on the door made Tom still in his place, and Jordyn cursed under her breath as she cleared her throat. “Yes?”
“Miss Ross. I’m sorry to interrupt again, but Mrs. Carrie wanted to ask if you’d like to keep the little girl in the ad, or if you’d like to change her.”
Jordyn wanted to laugh at the absurdity of the question at such a time as this. “Tell her that I’m fine with either decision, and that I’m making progress with the Captain.”
“Alright, Miss. Will you be needing anything else? Mrs. Carrie wanted to ask if everything was satisfactory.”
Tom began to thrust slowly, and Jordyn’s eyes rolled in the back of her head as she struggled to form a response. “Everything is perfectly satisfactory. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Jordyn let her head fall back. “We could’ve been caught. What are you doing?”
Tom didn’t stop pumping in and out of her as his connected with hers. “I don’t care. I want you too much, Jordyn. I need you too much,” he groaned as he let his head fall into the spot between her shoulder, and her neck, and he began to move faster.
Jordyn’s hands fiercely held onto his hips as her own began to buckle in response, meeting each thrust with one of her own. “Oh, God.”
Soon, his thrusts began to speed up until Jordyn bit his shoulder to keep from shouting, and then she pressed her lips to Tom’s to swallow back his groan. He stilled inside of her as they rode out their aftershocks. He gently pulled out a while later, and pressed a sweet kiss on her forehead.
He reached over and placed his shirt on top of her shoulders as he rubbed his hands up and down her arms. “Are you okay?
Satiated, she turned to him with foggy eyes. “What? Oh, I’m fine. I’m better than fine.” She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Tom looked dubious as he stared at her. “Are you sure? You have this glassy look in your eyes.”
“You worry too much.” She pouted at him as she stretched her muscles, and sighed in satisfaction. She began to notice Tom’s expression. “What?” she asked, suddenly feeling self-conscious of the fact that he was standing there, buck naked, and save for his shirt draped across her shoulders like a rag, she was naked too.
“Can’t I stare at the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen?”
Jordyn ducked her head as heat flushed her cheeks. “Thanks.”
Tom titled her chin using his forefinger and index finger. “You don’t need to thank me.”
He kissed the tip of her nose and pulled her to him for a bone crushing hug.
They basked in each other’s presence for a while, letting the sounds of ongoing traffic outside wash over them, knowing it couldn’t penetrate their bubble.
Tom began to chuckle.
“What’s so funny?” Jordyn asked without moving her head.
“I know my skills are legendary,” he said smugly.
Jordyn smothered a laugh as she pinched his arm. “They are not.”
“Given your reaction, I’m going to say that they are. I put that look on your face! That glassy, thoroughly ravished look.”
Jordyn leaned back and peered up at him. “Don’t flatter yourself.” She stuck her tongue out. “It’s been a while anyway. Not since you and I were last together.”
Tom’s features softened as he leaned his forehead against hers. “Well, this might sound totally selfish, but I’m glad.”
Jordyn breathed deeply. “Me too.”
Tom brought his hand up in her hair and began massaging her scalp. “Now, that I know I’ve got a chance, I’m never letting you go again. That was the biggest mistake of my life.”
Jordyn brought his hand up to her lips and kissed it. “It’s okay. We’ve got time to make up for that.”
“I plan on it.”
“Of course, it won’t be easy.” Her lips curled into a smile as she tossed him a sultry look. “It’s going to take a lot of pleasing.”
“I’ll do my best to rise to the occasion,” he said very seriously, the corners of his eyes crinkling with amusement.
“I look forward to seeing how high you’ll go.”
Tom tossed his head back and laughed before he gave her a genuine smile. “So, how about we start with dinner?”
Jordyn nibbled at his lip and then pointed to what was left of her clothes. “First off, you need to dress me up, mister.”
Tom chuckled and pulled her in closer. He could feel the quick beat of her heart against his chest. “You can do without the panties. No one will notice a few missing buttons on your blouse if you tuck it in.”
“Oh, God, you’re going to make walk around the office without panties?”
He let out a chuckle and gave her a wicked grin. “It’ll be really cute. Then you can bend a little bit my way and tease me with a sneak peek. I promise, I’ll buy you a new one for dinner.”
Jordyn rolled her eyes and tried her best fix her blouse as Tom started to fix his uniform. “You better.”
“So… that’s a yes on dinner?” Tom looked back at her with hopeful eyes while he straightened his uniform back on.
Jordyn realized he caught her in that trap and she just scoffed back, albeit with a warm smile of surrender and glee. “Oh, all right then. Sure.”
“I get off work right around three,” Tom told her. He was still fixing his pants and tightening the cuffs in his boots. “How about you?”
“Are you kidding me? I just got here. I don’t get off until five.”
Tom brushed his shirt, checked himself real quick, and then leaned in closer to give Jordyn another peck on her lips. He gripped her tight with both his hands and made sure she could see him eye-to-eye.
“You were always late,” he reminded her.
Her lips curved with a smile. “Some things just don’t change.”
“Like my legendary skills except they do change in one way: they just get better.”
Jordyn giggled and leaned forward to rest her head on his chest. He embraced her closely as she spoke. “I wish we weren’t such big idiots. I wish I could take back all the stupid stuff I told you. I wish so many things.”
“I know Jordie,” Tom replied as he brushed his fingers down her hair. “But let’s not worry about what we should have done and focus on what we can do. Step away from the past and just focus on the present.”
Jordyn fixed herself up, stood tall and looked at him straight in the eye. “As long you’re there to pick me up when I crumble, I think we’ll do just fine.”
Tom held her hand and gripped it tight. “I’m not going to run away again. Even if you cry all day and all night, I swear you’ll have me there with you.”
“I look horrible when I cry.”
“You’re the most gorgeous creature on the face of the planet,” Tom consoled her with a hug and a kiss on the head. “Come on, let’s head back out. It’s been a little too long.”
Jordyn gave him a sarcastic look and smacked his shoulder lightly. “Yeah, I wonder who’s fault that was. Now I have to come up with something to edit.”
“Just say we came to an agreement after you showed me the error of my ways,” even as he was explaining this, Tom was smirking and Jordyn had to fight every urge to pinch him in both glee and frustration.
“Carrie is going to kill me if you don’t say something good out there,” Jordyn pointed out. She reached for the door and unlocked it.
Tom patted her on the back. “Don’t worry. You’re going to have another traditional day at work and I’m going to go back to the recruitment office. You’re going to think about my legendary skills while I day-dream about how delicious you are. We’ll meet up, have a good time and have dinner.”
“Sounds like a plan to me, cowboy,” Jordyn replied and they walked back outside.
