Accounting for Lust (15 page)

She nodded. “Who was that on the phone?”

“Matt. We need to talk.”

Cassie frowned at him. “Did anything happen?”

He held up his hand. “No, nothing like that. The technical guys figured out the camera in your office must be attached to a computer not more than thirty meters from your office. They want to follow the cable but don’t want the guy to know we’re on to him.”

“So you need everyone out of the building without arousing suspicion.”

Jake nodded. “Have you had to evacuate before?”

“No, but we regularly have the guys from infestation spraying the building. Usually over a weekend though so we don’t loose too much productivity.” She bit her lip. “I suppose we could afford a day or two if it means getting closer to finding whoever is behind this. The only problem we have is that the factory and depository must also
close
and it takes a couple of hours to do that. We planned the
closure
to fall over long weekends or holidays where the plant would shutdown in any case.”

Jake frowned. Why
the plant also
? I thought it was next door
to the offices
.”

“It is, but it is counterproductive to
close
the two sections on separate days and besides, when we spray the building
, the gasses drift along the passages connecting the depository and plant.”

Jake’s mouth dropped open. “People from the factory have access to the offices?”

“Not everyone. Only two people are authorized to use the connecting door, me and the plant manager. The depository’s personnel use a separate entrance and although they are connected to the plant, it’s by way of conveyer belts running in a narrow tunnel. You’d have to wear protective clothing for the heat and then no human being could fit inside. It was specifically designed that way for security reasons.”

She angled her head to the side. “Didn’t Joshua explain this to you when you arrived on Friday?”

Jake’s face coloured. “He might have, but I didn’t pay much attention. I was too worried about how I was going to protect you without throwing you on the closest flat surface and having my way with you. Besides, the initial instruction was to protect. That changed to finding out from whom, very quickly.”

Cassie giggled. “I guess it has changed.”

Sobering, she paced the room. At the window she turned to Jake. “We need a compelling reason to issue the evacuation order so that we don’t arouse suspicion.”

“When do you usually arrange the fumigation?”

“Every four months or when we notice an infestation.”

“An infestation of what?”

She waved her hand in the air. “Anything. Rats, cockroaches, ants. Anything that could basically harm the manufacturing, storing or paper process.”

He nodded. How difficult could it be to arrange the semblance of an infestation of cockroaches? It hit him then. They couldn’t introduce the critters and then not spray and if they spray, the guys won’t be able to work. Unless they wore protective clothing and masks.
Difficult, but not
impossible
.
It might slow the work, though.

“How long will it take from the time you notice the problem to complete shut
ting
?”

“If we notice it early enough tomorrow morning, we could be
offline
by six tomorrow night.” She frowned at him.

“How long will you guys need?”

“Probably the night and the following day. We have to spray for real and that means the tech guys will have to use suits and masks. It will slow them some.”

She nodded and caught her lower lip between her teeth.
Jake’s eyes stuck on her plump, slightly swollen lower lip. He could feel himself stirring again. Dammit, he needed to focus on getting the job done first. Rising from the chair
,
he grabbed his mobile and
stomped to the window. He made the call to Matt and informed him of the arrangements. Satisfied that his duty was done, he returned to the chair and tried to concentrate on the work he’d been doing before Cassie came into the room.

The letters danced before his eyes and were quickly replaced by visions of Cassie on the bed, naked and in the throes of passion. Naturally he was the one administering the pleasure by using some of the myriad of toys, his hands, his mouth. Jake shifted in the chair to accommodate his rock hard cock. He glanced at the clock. It was nearly four in the afternoon. From tomorrow, Cassie would remain under surveillance of the whole team. It was the way they usually operated to give the operatives some time off. He didn’t need time off. He needed Cassie. Now. Shutting the lid of the laptop, Jake found Cassie in the kitchen and lead her to the bedroom.

Cassie stood in the kitchen, watching Jake approach. For the past couple of minutes, she heard only silence from the dining room table. The furious typing on the laptop seized and she waited. She hardly recognized herself the past couple of days. Sex never ruled her
actions
. It was fun when she had it, but never so mind
-
blowing that she couldn’t live without it. That is, until Jake came along.

He gave
new meaning to the term fulfilment.
Mindful of their limited time together, she didn’t object when he took her hand and walked her to the bedroom. Without bothering to shut the door, he gathered her in his arms and
kissed her
. The contact reverberated to her toes. Every sense was heightened as he lifted the t-shirt over her head and pulled her pants to the floor.

When he picked her up and hugged her to his chest, Cassie pressed her head against the hard muscles, listening to his heart, enjoying the shelter his warmth gave. Safe. Jake was safe. And extremely dangerous, her heart complained. She didn’t want safe. Dangerous was much more
fun
.

Dangerous also meant more hurt later when she had to say goodbye. But for now, dangerous was what she wanted. He sat on the bed with her still hugged to his chest and his erection pressed against her thighs. She ran her hands over his short hair,
along
his neck and over his broad shoulders, halting on the star formed scar on the top of his chest.

She traced the outlines of the scar and replaced her fingers with her mouth
, trailing light kisses
along
the scar and licking the upheaved flesh. Jake inhaled sharply and Cassie hid a smile. It was about time Jake received some of his own medicine. She tugged his shirt out of his
shorts
and lifted it over his head, making sure her hands stayed in contact with the warmth of his body.

His shorts followed suit and Cassie
dropped to the floor. She
rubbed her breasts against his fully erect cock, capturing the velvet sleeve in the valley between them. Moving ever so slightly, she moved his cock up and down. The simultaneous hard and soft texture heightening her own desire.

She bent her neck and on the up stroke licked his crown, tasting his arousal. She let go of her breasts and took him in her mouth and grabbed on to his buttocks with one hand. The other hand she used
to stroke his tightened balls and rub the sensitive spot between them and his anus. Even though she relaxed her throat, he was just too big to fit. Flicking her tongue over the sensitized head, she stroked the insides of his thighs.

“Enough.”

Jake lifted her from her knees and pulled her up against him.
His kiss branded her as his and she forgot to breathe. He slowly lowered her to the bed, never breaking the kiss. Stroking the sides of her breasts, he parted her legs with his knee. When he lifted his head his eyes shone almost black with desire. Cassie tried to concentrate on his face, memorizing every line, every feature. She touched the small scar next to his eye.

“What happened here?”

“Hunting accident.”

Jake pinched a pebbled nipple between his fingers. Liquid fire erupted in her womb and moisture pooled her pussy, waiting for him, ready for him.
A cry escaped her lips as he took the sensitive peak in his mouth and suckled, varying between a delicate touch and almost cruel punishment.

She dug her fingers into the sheet, needing something to hold on to as her world tilted on its axis.
With his free hand he stroked her tummy
with
small circle movements. Cassie lifted her hips. She needed him to touch her lower, much lower.

He chuckled softly. “Patience, my precious. All in good time.”

He shifted his attention to the other nipple. She let go of the sheet and tangled her fingers in his short hair, alternating between pulling him closer and pushing him away. The world outside faded when he hugged her pussy in his large hand. He parted the lips, found her clit and gently rubbed. Increasing the suckling at her breast, Cassie bucked against his hand. More. She wanted more. She needed more.

Jake obliged
.
H
is tongue found the incredibly sensitive and by now enlarged clit. Licking softly while running his fingers over her opening all the way to her anus. Shivers of delight raked her body and she closed her eyes.

When Jake
removed
his hand to reach for the bottle of silicone based lubricant, Cassie suppressed the sense of deprivation chilling her.
Jake responded by placing a sucking kiss on her clit. He liberally applied the lubricant to his
hand and the outside of her anus before gently probing the tight opening. Rivers of electricity ran through her body and she spread her legs even further, allowing him to suck on her clit while his fingers worked their magic.

The muscles in her pussy tightened as Jake
placed
one finger inside her anus and used his tongue to lap up the juices flowing freely from her pussy. Pleasure mounted inside her and a tidal wave of ecstasy swept through her. When he replaced his
mouth
with a soft, moist dildo, Cassie
crested the wave and while he fingered her anus, she came all over the dildo.

“Give me a moment,” she sighed.

“No.
You can rest later
.”

Without removing the dildo or his finger, he licked her sensitive clit and Cassie bucked. With a few strokes
,
he had her on the brink of orgasm again, but this time he pulled back, removing his finger from her anus to pull her onto his lap.
H
e
hooked her legs around waist
,
while
his
hard cock
pressed
against the opening of her anus. Cassie wiggled her buttocks until he gently
entered her
. A sense of incredible fullness filled her. With the dildo still in place, Jake buried himself fully inside. Never had she felt so completely filled, so completely one with another person.

He cupped her buttocks with his hands and slowly moved her hips up, only to lower her onto him again. Cassie unhooked her legs
from
his waist and placed her feet on his shoulders. She increased the rhythm, causing him to pound into her with increasing speed.
Sweat trickled in rivulets along the valley between her breasts and she watched through glazed eyes as a fine sheen of moisture coated Jake’s face.
A
groan
escaped his lips and as her muscles contracted, Jake spilled his warmth into her.
Cassie’s mind went blank as she rode the wave of ecstasy until she
sagged
against the pillows. Spent. Fulfilled. Satisfied.

Jake carefully withdrew from her and crawled up the mattress until he could gather her in his arms and claim her lips in a kiss that brought tears burning
behind her
eyes. She stroked his hair and hugged him tightly to her. This felt too much like goodbye. She wasn’t ready for goodbye. Damn, she might never be ready for goodbye.

Only when his breathing evened out, did she allow the tears to spill.
No use crying girl,
the voice inside her head chastised.
 
You knew the score before you went and stupidly chose to fall in love with the man.
Cassie slid out under Jake’s arm and padded on bare feet to the bathroom. Carefully shutting the door behind her, she ran water in the tub, allowing her tears to mingle with the steaming water.

Being in love didn’t mean she wanted a relationship. She didn’t do relationships. The guys inevitably found her boring and without imagination after a while. She shook her head. No, she won’t go that route again. After three failed attempts at normal relationships, she concluded that uncomplicated sex was safe. No one expected anything but a good time from the other and without feelings involved, nobody got hurt in the process when the sex lost its magic. And it always did with time.

No, she was better off alone and the sooner this mess at the company was sorted, the sooner she could return to
her normal, eventless
existence
. She was an accountant. It was what she did. It defined her. And it satisfied her. She didn’t need Jake to love her. He’s expertise in bed proved more than enough.
Besides, she’d survived without love for decades. No reason why that had to change now. Ignoring the emotion piercing her body and threatening to draw tears to her eyes again, Cassie finished bathing and crawled onto the bed. Jake gathered her to him and with her head resting on his shoulder, Cassie drifted to sleep.
