trying to touch him any way I can. His mouth forms a satisfactory grin as he feels me release myself to him.
“That’s it baby, let it go,” he instructs me.
“Mmm hmm,” is all I can manage. I feel so stupid. Is it always this easy for him?
I lean back against the counter, feeling exhausted. Our whole encounter could have only lasted a few minutes. I’m overcome with a plethora of emotions. How can this man have such an effect on me?
Mason straightens himself up and fixes his clothing.
“What just happened?” I ask.
“I told you years ago that you would be begging for it, Samantha. You just made my dream come true.”
Shocked, I feel like the wind was knocked out of me, “is that what this was? Some kind of joke to you?”
He pulls me close to him again, “not even a little bit. You made my dream come true, I mean that.” Mason kisses me softly, “next time, I’ll do the same for you.”
I roll my eyes playfully, “you don’t even know what my dream is.”
“I’ve been fantasizing about you for years. I’ll just have to keep trying until I find the right one, won’t I?” Mason winks.
Right here in my mother’s kitchen, I’m melting. Mason is the one and only man that has ever made me feel this way. I hope he sticks around. I don’t think I’ll ever find anyone else that can make me feel like this. I don’t care what everyone says about him. I want him. I need him. I just might love him. But right now I’m not sure who I trust less - him or me.

Mason
I have never once went to a woman’s house unannounced. Nor have I ever met any woman’s mother. I just couldn’t wait to see Samantha again. I need her. I don’t want to be without her. I’ve waited long enough for the chance to be with her and now I don’t want to let go - not even for a minute.
I don’t think of it as ‘obsessed’. It’s just part of who I am. I take what I want and make it mine. I nurture it, care for it, own it, protect it. I’m only lucky that Samantha seems to feel the same way about me. She likes being with me as much as I like being with her. She is free to do as she pleases, but I am going to do whatever I can to make sure I’m on her mind as much as she’s on mine.
That little ‘episode’ in the kitchen only proves that she wants me. She will give herself to me - as much as I want to take. Samantha’s mine - finally. It’s been such a short time, but I’ve already fallen hard. Harder than I ever have. She doesn’t have to beg for me - or anything - ever. Whatever Samantha wants, she can have, and I will give it to her, but hearing her ask for it - ‘please ’, Jesus. There is nothing hotter than a woman who can’t take another second without my cock. I haven’t decided if I’m going to get her to that point again, but whenever we get there, I know it’s going to be incredible.

Samantha
I usually read a book while I sit on the train, but I can’t concentrate today. All I can think about is Mason. He wouldn’t tell anyone at the office about us, but I feel like it’s written all over my face.
I’m ashamed that I let him control me like that. Even if I wanted to say ‘no’, I couldn’t have - not that I wanted to anyway. I trust that his in intentions are good, but I don’t know if that’s because I really believe it to be true or I just want it to be.
We had a great time at dinner on Friday. We laughed and enjoyed each other’s company - at least it seemed like we did. Mason showed up at my door on Sunday which confirmed those feelings. He charmed my mother so much that as soon as he left last night, she started talking about what a great husband he would be! Husband. She’s crazy. We’re just getting to know each other. Not to mention, he’s my boss.
I hope I can play it cool at work today. I may have to avoid Kaitlyn for a while. She’s pretty intuitive. She will know something is up simply by looking at me.
I definitely have to stay away from Mason. I’m not
