unzip my boot; his fingers slowly pulling the
zip down as his other hand settled on my thigh.
I froze, unsure what to do; I wanted him to move back and
take his hands off me but I also wanted his hands further up my thigh, stroking
the throb away.
He pulled my boot off slowly and peeled off my sock, his
lips twitching when he took in the Garfield picture printed on it. He held my
foot up and his fingers softly traced my ankle checking for signs of swelling
and my breath hitched at his touch. He looked up at me through his long
eyelashes as I gasped and a slow smile crossed his lips as his fingers
whispered up my shin, delicately caressing the back of my knee.
I swallowed heavily as a slow throb filled my core and my
breathing sped up. Oh God! What was this man doing to me? “You
have beautiful soft skin Ava” he whispered “and you smell delicious. I would
love to taste you” he groaned softly as his fingers ventured a little higher.
Oh God, I was struggling to breathe, the softness of his fingertips against my
skin was making my stomach flutter.
I needed to stop him but my body was refusing, the feel of
him against my skin was so erotic that I just watched him get higher and higher
until my brain cells kicked in and I gasped at what was happening “Mr Fox!” I
gulped and slid away from him; dropping my feet to the floor “Erm…my foot’s
okay now thank you” I forced a smile as I tried to steady my breathing and he
stood up as I replaced my sock and boot; his eyes never leaving my actions, as
studied me “Quite a surprise there. A quiet little thing like you” he stalked
towards me, his eyes glazed “There’s a lot of passion deep down in you isn’t
there? Quite the little fire-cracker” he cocked his head as he tucked a stray
curl behind my ear, rubbing it between his fingers.
His eyes bore into me and my breath caught in my throat as I
felt my blood heat. His fingers gently stroked down my cheek and across my
bottom lip. I swallowed and shifted nervously, averting my eyes “Mr Fox” I
stammered, he cleared his throat and stepped backwards “Everything okay? With
the phone call I mean” he was back to his usual grim self and I nodded once “Just
a bit of trouble with my friend but I’ll handle it” I told him, surprised at my
honesty with him.
He cocked his head “Yes, I believe you can handle it” he
glared at me again “We seem to have quite a bit in common Ava” he smiled and
left the room, bounding back up the stairs as I was once again stunned by his
behaviour.
CHAPTER 5
Mason was out for the majority of the day but had asked me
to take a look at some of the paperwork in his office, filing it and
transferring the information to documents on his PC.
I was thrilled at the new duty, pleased that he trusted me
enough with some confidential information. It was only basic things such as
employees’ details and work records but I was happy he had enough confidence in
me already.
At 6:00pm I powered down the computer and went downstairs
to gather my things. I picked up the kitchen phone and dialled the taxi firm I
had used this morning “Hi, can I book a taxi for as soon as possible please…” Silence??? “I’ll take you home Ava” Mason said from behind me and I flinched, spinning
round to see his finger on the disconnect button of the base unit to the phone.
He grinned at me as he took the phone from me, his fingers
closing around mine and the electricity in them made me jolt again.
He smiled softly as he looked at our entwined fingers “I
seem to unsettle you a lot Ava” he whispered in my ear as he reached past me to
grab his car keys off the island, his hot breath skimming my cheek.
I gulped and picked up my bag “That’s Erm…Erm very kind of
you Mason but I can get a cab” he narrowed his eyes, the glower back in them
“Nonsense, it’s no trouble” he turned and walked through the front door,
leaving me no choice but to follow him and as I exited the
