Marius’s head fell back, eyes squeezing shut at pure ecstasy washed over him. The controlled executive melted away completely, replaced by raw, uninhibited desire. “Fuck yes, just like that,” he rasped, his voice thick with need. One hand tangled tighter in Clare’s hair while the other gripped the desk so tightly his knuckles turned bone white. The rhythmic suction of her lips sent shockwaves through his entire system. Every nerve ending focused solely on the incredibl

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 150: Sea Salt Chocolate

    Marius took the piece of sea salt chocolate from her fingers, his skin brushing against hers for a brief second. He popped it into his mouth, the sweetness and salt hitting his tongue. “Glad to hear it,” he said, faint smirk playing on his lips. “I would hate to think I was competing with a man who can fix hip replacements.” He chewed slowly, leaning his head back against the sofa cushion. The apartment was quiet, the only sound the distant hum of traffic from the street below. It was a strange king of peace– one he did not usually find in his own life. “What made it a bad date?” he asked, turning his head to look at her. “Aside from the obvious fact that he was not me.” “Well, it started off good. He did this think that just magically fixed my back,” Tera said popping a sea salt chocolate in her mouth and pulling her legs up on the couch. “But so boring and self-absorbed. And way too many sexual innuendos.&rdqu

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 149: Turquois, Trypan and Teal

    The entrance lobby of the modern apartment building exists of a pair of full-height glass entrance doors set within a grey metal frame. Each door has long, vertical silver pull handle and is framed by a light grey. Marius walked past the large back if individual mailboxes arranged in a neat grid on the left wall. The mailboxes have a black frame with white rectangular doors, each labelled with a number in black text. He walked through the glass door into the clean, modern interior corridor brightly illuminated by recessed rectangular LED ceiling lights set into the suspended white acoustic tile ceiling. He goes up a short flight of four light being ceramic tiled steps leading up to a slightly raised landing. Beside the stairs is a gently sloped tiled section that functions as a small ramp. The railings are made of study black-painted metal handrail that features simple vertical balusters and polished stainless-steel handrails that extend up another staircase.At the top of th

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 148: Something Sweet

    The office was dark, save for the pool of fluorescent light cast by the lamp on Marius’s mahogany desk and the blue glow of his monitor. The building was mostly empty now, the cleaning crew’s vacuum humming somewhere on a different floor. He leaned back, his yellow green eyes burning from hours of staring at spreadsheets. The budget projections were a nightmare of fluctuating costs and optimistic estimates. He rubbed his eyes with the heels of his hands, feeling every bit of the day’s tension in his shoulder. His phone sat on the edge of the desk, dark and silent. He glanced at the clock on his computer taskbar: 10:04 PM. He had promised Tera that he would show up. A part of him wanted to just finish this one column, close the laptop and go home to his empty house. But another part– the part that had agreed to her terms– was already reaching for his keys to go see her.Marius stood up, grabbing his jacket from the back of the chair. The office fe

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 147: Unpolished Side

    Oliver pulls back just enough to look at Harper, his blue eyes dark and steady. The organized, composed man is still there underneath, but the cracks he leaves for her are permeant now. “Knox will probably spend the while morning trying to distract me with design revisions,” he says, a small, amused huff escaping him. “But he will not be the one I am actually thinking about.” His fingers tracing the line of her jaw with a slow, deliberate touch. Harper laughs light again. “You sir, have a way with words,” she said brightly and kissed him. He catches her lips with his own, the kiss slow and lingering, tasting of the quiet afterglow. He pulls her closer, his arms wrapping around her as she sits on the desk, his touch gentle now, almost reverent. “It is not a way with words,” he corrects her softly against her mouth, a small smile playing on his lips. “It is just that when it comes to you, I do not feel the need to filter anything.&

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 146: Productive

    The sound of harpers moan, sweet and uninhibited, breaks something deep inside him. Oliver meets her kiss with a sudden, desperate hunger, his tongue tangling with hers as he finds a rhythm that is both primal and deeply personal. His hands moved from her waist to her back, his fingers spreading wide against her skin, pulling her closer still as if he would merge their bodies into one. The desk creaks beneath them, a rhythmic accompaniment to the heavy, uneven breathing filling the room. “You feel,” he rasps against her lips. “Incredible.” He picks up the pace, his movements becoming more urgent, more demanding. His blue eyes are closed tight now, his jaw clenched as he fights to keep himself from losing control entirely. every muscle in his body is taut, vibrating with the effort of holding back. “I can’t–” he starts, then stops, swallowing the thought. He does not need to finish it.“Do not… hold back,” Harp

    “We will see about that,” Oliver murmurs, his voice a rough promise. He steps closer, his hands finding her thighs and lifting her slightly on the edge of the desk to bring her even hight, making her legs wrap around his waist. The friction of her skin against his slacks makes his groan low in his throat. He leans in, his mouth finding the sensitive dip where her neck meets her shoulder, biting down hard enough to leave a mark. “You are not going to be able to walk into that meeting tomorrow with a straight face,” he continued, his voice deep. “Is that a challenge or a promised?” Harper asked nibbling on his lower lip. His head snaps back as her teeth graze his lip, a sharp, choked sound escaping him. His hands tighten on her thighs, his knuckles turning white. “Both,” he grunts, his voice thick and strained. “It is a promise that you will be thinking about this all through the morning briefing.”Oliver pulls ack jus

    “Housekeeping might throw it all away.” Harper said softly, looking down at the papers on the floor. “Organizing your office and paperwork is my job,” she adds. Oliver’s expression softened slightly at her insistence; a hint of admiration mixed with the frustration i

    “That is it,” Oliver encouraged against her breast, his voice muffled by the flesh pressed against his lips. “Show me how much you want this.” His free hand moved to cup her other breast, kneading gently while his mouth worked relentlessly on the first. The contrast betwee

    Oliver scanned the detailed schedule Harper had emailed him, a small smile forming on his lips as he noted the 1pm lunch break. His mouse pointer hovered over the ‘reply’ button, tempted to type something flirtatious or demanding, but ultimately settling for a simple acknowledgment:Reply-

    “Perhaps, in this case resistance is futile? Perhaps, the opposite is the solution.” Harper suggested trying to maintain a professional face. She felt her cheeks flush and her heartbeat quicken. “How about a drink after work?” she added quickly, before she can change her m
