Work Before You Fuck (Before You Fuck #2) Read Online Free Page B

It felt like the next step was a kiss. I wanted him to kiss me. I decided to put that vibe out there.
    Just then Adrian turned to me. He took my hand in his and squeezed it. I looked up in his eyes and I looked at him. His eyes were tender and open with trust. “Thank you, my hand is kind of cold.”
    He took his other hand and lifted it to my face, brushing some wayward hair off my cheek. Then he leaned in and softly kissed my lips. His lips were soft and warm. It felt like my whole body set itself on fire. He pulled back, looked at my face, and then went in for another kiss.
    I lifted my hand up to his face, I could feel his stubble, rough on my hand. Adrian’s face felt strong and big. Then we leaned back in our seats, the stress of the first kiss over. We both smiled.
    “Well, that was unexpected,” I said.
    “I hope it was enjoyable?” Adrian replied. I laughed
    “It was very nice!” I said, pausing for a moment. “I’m not sure how to proceed because I know kissing your client could be…troublesome.”
    “I hope that we’ll do more than kiss,” Adrian said, “I mean, at some point in the future.”
    “You’re so polite,” I said, “I want you to think about if you want to pursue a romantic relationship with me or if you would like me to design your home.”
    “Kai, why can’t we do both?” Adrian asked, leaning in for another kiss. I kissed him back with more passion than before because it was obvious that he liked me. His tongue entered my mouth and seconds later I nibbled on his lip. It was delicious.
    “Okay, Adrian, I’m game,” I said, as we pulled up to my apartment.
    I looked over at him with eyes wide open, “I just don’t want to screw this up.”
    “Of course,” he said, getting out to open my door for me. I stepped out and he looked me up and down, as if with new eyes. “Did I tell you that you look amazing in that dress?”
    “Yes. Thank you Adrian.”
    “I’d like your cell number, Kai.”
    I got out my business card and scribbled it on the back.
    Adrian leaned down to me, putting his hand on the small of my back and bending me back just a bit to kiss me again. His kiss was delicious, but it was over before I knew it.
    “Bye for now, Kai.”
    “Bye, Adrian,” I said, releasing his hand. Then I floated up the stairs of my apartment.

Chapter Six
    The next day I got ready for work with a smile on my face. It was obvious that Adrian liked me. I just felt happy. Now we just had to figure out how to make this work, both personally and professionally. I knew he was scheduled to come in for a business meeting in two days at the office. The project manager was going to attend the meeting as well as my boss, the creative director of the agency. Adrian’s house remodel would have been a medium-sized project for my employer. But it had been given the higher priority status as a larger corporate project because of two reasons.
    First, the high profile nature of the client, I mean Adrian. He was well-known in the real estate business. Adrian was well-connected so if his design was given any media attention, our agency would get additional referrals by word of mouth. Another reason it was a priority was that Adrian was going to spend millions of dollars to have it done right. Other clients would not have spent the kind of money Adrian was.
    I got dressed for work thinking about Adrian. I couldn’t explain why I liked him. I felt magnetically attracted to him. He was almost twice my age. I didn’t think I had “daddy issues.” No, I was sure I didn’t find him attractive because he was like a father figure. I had my own dad for one and Adrian was much younger than my own father. He couldn’t have looked any differently, too. Adrian with his toned physique and his brown hair. He was probably in his early forties.
    I popped some toast in my toaster and I wondered to myself: Would I fuck him on our second date? My body did not want to put any brakes on. My body wanted to feel his
