pie for dessert. I was hoping that things would be quiet so that we could go someplace and talk.” His voice low and almost in a whisper.
David cleared his voice and piped in, “Sure, she has a new office. We’re quiet here, Mak, we’ll call if anything comes in.” He smiled really obnoxiously. She looked at both of them like she wanted to kill them.
As she led her admirer around to her new office, the thought of the flowers flashed like a neon sign. Crap, how to get out of this one? She unlocked the door and Ryler followed her in, closing the door behind him. She closed her blinds to the hallway to give them more privacy. When she turned around, he presented her a beautiful bouquet of red roses. He looked toward the arrangement on her desk and knew that he was not her lone suitor, but still he planned to be the last man standing.
“Thank you. They’re lovely. I owe you an explanation about last night and this morning,” Makenzie uttered nervously.
He shushed her by putting his finger on her lips. He didn’t remove it quickly, rather stroked her lips back and forth several times. She felt her heart leap with anticipation, trying to run right out of her chest. He could feel her pulse with the hand that was resting on her neck and could see the rise and fall of her chest. He knew that his presence excited her.
“I get it. No need to say anything. I enjoyed myself and it felt good to have you there with me. I do wish that you would’ve called me this morning. When I didn’t hear from you, I went home as soon as I could and made sure you got off okay. I just came by to say thank you for a lovely evening and bring you some dessert. Seems my mom made you another pie, one that you can share with your staff. I hope you all enjoy it.” He brushed her cheek with his thumb, and took a long hard look at her dark eyes before turning and moving towards the door.
He turned to look at her over his shoulder. “Hey, if you’re not busy on Sunday, we have a co-ed softball game starting at three o’clock and then everyone’s coming to my house for burgers. No pressure, just call or text me on Sunday if you’re able to make it. See ya soon, Makenzie.” And just like that, he was gone.
Makenzie took a seat at her desk and put her head down on her outstretched arms. How was she going to deal with Ryler Buchanan? She felt such a strong urge to be with him. He said and did all the right things. He was easy to be around and his touch, well, he had a touch that made her body overly sensitive and filled her mind with sexy cravings. She wanted to be with him, more and more. It hurt just then to see him walk away, feeling like the underdog.
She opened the box and gasped. Inside the lid of the box he had written her a note:
This is to share with your staff. I have some waiting at home for you to share with only me. Giving you the last bite is like giving you my last breath and to taste it on your lips is like tasting heaven.
Ry
She couldn’t let the staff see the note, she had to hide the box. She returned to the control desk and told them she had a treat for everyone. She put the pie in the staff lounge for them to enjoy, minus a piece she saved for herself. The staff appeared like a swarm of ants and sat around chatting over how good it was. Makenzie enjoyed every single morsel of her piece, but as she ate she could only think about the night before and how sensual it was to share food with Ryler. She had to get him out of her head.
Veronica and David both fished for the goods on her relationship with Ryler but she avoided their questions, just as she tried to avoid the thoughts of moving forward with future activities with him. The night was a rather slow one. She had to disappear to her office just to get away from all the attention. One by one, she cleared items from the stack on her desk. When she looked at the “pie box” in the trash, a painful tug forced a sting through her heart.
Finally, the shift was over
