Chapter 156: I Can’t Resist You

Amaka was waiting patiently in the lobby for me to arrive. Jonny was almost there, and I immediately felt bad that I was over twenty minutes late. My steps faltered as I saw them talking, the way she was looking at him as if he hung the moon. He was tracing small lines into her palm as they tallied, and I’m pretty sure they didn’t know how they looked and probably wouldn’t care either. I am certain that the two of them working together would reconnect easily.

His eyes flickered to me, and she tried to hide it. I was relieved the dials I'd moved were working, and I made my way to them.

“My apologies for being late. It really isn’t like me,” I said. He stood up and helped her up as well, their fingers lingering a few seconds longer than needed before he released her.

“No worries, we were enjoying the time to catch up,” he said, looking down at her.

It was a look I was familiar with. I have seen it on Canffin, Logan, and Rodrigo’s faces so many times when they looked at Lonnna. I have also seen it in, and even Matt when he looked at Jocelyn. It was a book of pure adoration, and I smiled.

“Great, we can be upstairs soon.” I said to them.

The next few hours flew by; Jonny was a very efficient man. He already had five different blueprints for optional layouts for me to choose from, and he explained each thoroughly until we made a decision on which one would suit our needs best.

“I have to say this one is my favorite. I will have the quota sent to you and Justin by the end of the business day,” he said, and I nodded.

By the time we finished, it was already lunch time, and he invited us both to accompany him to lunch. I declined with a smile but urged Amaka to go. After some persuasion and assuring her that I would not be eating lunch alone, she went with him, and he placed a possessive hand on the small of her back as they left. I smiled in their wake. I wondered if that was how Justin and Donald looked with me. I texted Justin and let him know that Amaka wouldn’t be eating with me today and to just bring me anything.

Twenty minutes later, he and Donald arrived with a cooler of food. I was glad they were both here, and Justin, of course, was wearing a suit because he was all about appearance even when technically off-duty. They closed the door to my office and also set the blinds.

“What time is Amaka coming back?” Donald asked, setting out the food on the small table to the side of my office.

“I gave her two hours because I wanted more time with you both, and we got a lot done already today,” I replied, accepting the plate of homemade chicken stir-fry.

Of course, it was delicious, and I had to hold myself back from moaning. I hadn’t eaten my breakfast, too preoccupied looking over my game plan for the day. We fell into a comfortable silence until we were interrupted by Justin’s phone, and he sighed when he looked at the screen.

“Deborah, I need to take this,” he said, and we nodded as he left the room.

I set my plate down and sighed, looking at Donald radiating with a content look on his face. It made me happy that he was happy, even with his ex showing up; he probably never felt love like he has now, neither have I, or even Justin. I smiled at him, and when he looked up at me, he smiled back.

“What’s on your mind, baby girl?” He asked, and I shook my head.

“Just reflecting right now,” I said, taking another bite of my food under his very searching eyes.

He stood up and stretched, and I took in his tall, muscular frame. He was wearing a tight black long-sleeve shirt that showed off every delicious sculpted line of his chest and fitted black pants that showed off his sexy ass and thick thigh muscles. I almost purred; if that was possible, he was so focking sexy, and my body wasn’t working right now. He walked over to the large office window that looked out onto the busy work floor and closed all of the blinds. Then he walked to me and took my hands. I stood up.

“Whenever you are looking at me like that, I can’t resist you,” he said, pulling me into his body, and my arms immediately went around his neck, and I tiptoed up to…

…Tyrus. Just look at you, got it right. All new, and I can’t help it. I murmured against his lips.

He hummed, lifting me up, and I wrapped my legs around him as he walked me over to the wall. There really was no place to do what I knew was coming in this office, but that wasn’t going to stop us. The door opened, and Justin walked in with a frustrated look on his face.

“I have to run up and talk to Tiberals and Teplou right now,” he said.

He didn’t see us pressed against…

…the wall before he stormed out. My energy completely killed the mood I was in, and when I looked at Donald, I could tell he was worried.

“I have never heard Justin talk in that tone,” he said, looking down at me. I unwrapped my legs around him and stood on my feet; he cupped my neck and kissed me gently.

“I love you, baby, and we will finish this later,” he said, following his words with more kisses.

He pressed his body against mine and groaned, getting lost in the kiss. I moaned as I felt the bulge in his pants press against my stomach. A threat cleared its throat, and we pulled apart abruptly. Amaka was standing there with an amused-looking Jonny, and it didn’t escape my notice the look of pure lust and appreciation that passed over Jonny’s face as his eyes roamed over Donald before they looked away, and the amused look returned. I would say that in another situation I would be pissed off that he was eyeing my man, but pure curiosity was the emotion I had.

Did Jonny like men? My eyes flickered to Amaka, and I could tell she saw the look too, and she also looked concerned. Donald, of course, was oblivious as his heavy gaze was on me, and I looked up at him and smiled.

“World. I know you have met Jonny, but this is Amaka, my new amazing assistant,” I introduced. He extended his hand to her, and she shook it.

She smiled politely, and I was kind of surprised she didn’t give him the flirty look of appreciation most women and even some men—apparently Jonny included—always seemed to give him.

“Donald is also a partner here,” I said; she gave me a knowing smile. It was obvious that he was my man, and the possessive part of me appreciated that she determined that.

“Nice to meet you, Amaka and Jonny,” he said, nodding at each of them in turn.

“I am going to find Justin. I will see you when you get home,” he said and gave me a chaste neck kiss before grabbing his jacket and the cooler and left.

I cleared up the leftover plates before returning to my desk, and it didn’t escape my notice that Amaka had gotten tense sitting next to Jonny. I wondered if it was because of lunch or the fact that he may be into men. I mentally decided when he left for the day, I would talk to her about it.

“I don’t know why, but I was under the impression that Justin was your boyfriend,” he said almost with a hard edge to his tone that I definitely didn’t appreciate. I took a deep breath.

Was this man upset that I was with someone he had his eyes on?

“Yes, he is, and so is Donald,” I replied, and the look on his face was priceless, and Amaka too; she was smart enough not to say anything, being this was work, but Jonny clearly didn’t care.

“Both? Like an open relationship?” He asked, looking intrigued. Gosh, did he think he still had a chance?

“Not open, we are in a closed polygamous relationship. All of us are together equally,” I said in a tone which I hope told him that was the end of it. He got the message, but I could tell he didn’t like it at all.

We worked for another hour, the tension thick in the room. Jonny and his pouting ass finally called it a day and left. I let out a sigh when he left the office and sat back down.

That’s not going to go well…

But doesn’t he work with them often? He should know about Griffin and the others?!

I have some silly ad and can’t go any further, and it’s annoying. WHY?
