"My every thought kitten,"
I give him a bewildered look as a chuckle left my lips,
"Seriously?"
He doesn't say anything other than nod a few times. He leans forward again, his eyes back on my lips. No time was wasted as his lips found mine once more. This time, it was my turn to smile as we kissed.
I cup his face in my hands deepening the kiss, closing the remaining space between us. I hovered over him for a second, his hands sliding off my waist to my bum now, giving it a squeeze. I squealed from the action. His thumb makes contact with my lower back.
The pads of his thumbs managed to touch my skin underneath my blouse. I gasped, the new sensation sending my mind and body haywire. I break the kiss and meet his eyes. He asks breathlessly matching my breathing in sync,
"Did I do something wrong?"
Too stunned to say anything I simply shake my head. The pads of my thumb rub against his stubble as we hold our gaze. I take in his darkened lust filled eyes before moving to peck his lips. In urgency he tries to deepen the kiss but I pull back quickly.
I kiss him for the second time, this time slightly below than his lips. I kiss him in a slow manner until I make ways to his jawline. He inhales deeply before holding it. I tilt my head to the side so that my lips were brushing his neck.
I catch him close his eyes, head thrown back against the sofa giving me full access to his neck. I shake my head ever so slightly before placing a single kiss on his neck, just below his jawline. He swallows, his Adams apple moving sexily.
In a fright my lips were no longer him as I whip my head towards my desk. The moment had to be broken by the phone. I begin to unstraddle myself from him but he places both hands on my thighs, holding me in place. I turn back to him to see him shake his head slowly,
"Don't go,"
"If I don't go that phone will ring again,"
"How can you be so sure?"
The corner of my lip tugs up as I playfully answer,
"Because Mr King, I'm your PA. Everything that's related directly to you gets sent to me first before it reaches you unless it's your two friends, Luke and-"

"- and Ed. I think I know that by now Kitten,"
I roll my eyes and smirked, counter speaking,
"Oh really?"
I lean forward so that my forehead was hovering his. We both holds eye as he breaths out,
"I'll bet my fortune on it,"
I cup his face as I use my thumb to draw small circles. A small chuckle leaves my lips as I merely whisper,
"Don't make harsh bets. Who knows... you may loose,"
I remove myself off him, taking him by surprise. His eyes widen, taken back by both my words and actions. I spin around and head for the ringing phone. Before I could pick up the phone he calls my name in a deep sexy voice, turning me on instantly. Fucking hormones!
I look back at him and see him have a hand lazily placed on his lap as the other stretched on the top of the sofa, his blazer besides him. He doesn't say anything but stares. I've accepted the fact that he called me for no apparent reason. I pick up the phone knowing he won't say anything,
"Lily speaking on behalf of Mr Kings, how can I help?"
"Sugarplum I called you like a hundred times! Where the hell were you?"
I close my eyes before rubbing my nose,
"Hi Luke, I'm fine thanks for asking,"
I open my eyes and give Noah a 'told you' look. He simply shrugs and stands, now making ways to me. As he made ways to me, he unbuttons his shirt at his wrist and folds the sleeves up to his elbows. My heart fastens at the sight of him as he does this,
"She's having her little romance! Leave her alone Luke!"
"Shut up Ed! I'm not asking you!"
"Hey I was there not long ago. At least I know what's happening!"
"Do not make me chase you around the damn room because I will. You never even knew about them until I told you,"
They bickered with each other continuously. Their bickering quickly became mute against the receiver as Noah stood behind me. He snaked his arms around my waist making me suck in a breath.
I could feel his semi-boner against my backside and my mind zoned out. He dipped his head to my neck and gave a single wet kiss against my bare skin. I closed my eyes tightly, my grip tightening around the phone.

His lips were no longer touching my skin as I leaned away from him, trying to create some space between us. I could feel his breath against my ear as he spoke in a lower whisper,
"Stop tensing. Relax,"
From the corner of my eyes I catch him lick his lips. I turn to the side and see his eyes darker than ever. I use my free hand and cover the phone, speaking harshly,
"Dolphin you do realise that it's harder than said right?"
"What was that Lils?"
Luke speaks through the receiver. Ed was no longer bickering and was now silent. They were both waiting for my response. I knew that I was now on loudspeaker. I stuttered,
"N-nothing, what was the reason you called again?"
Luke sighed before speaking,
"Were you not listening to what I said? I said I'm coming up to discuss and evaluate the charity event as well as have a talk on how you are as Noah's PA. As a matter of face, since we're still speaking I'd like to say that I'm here nearly here. One more stop,"
My eyes widen as I slam the phone back in place. I spin on my feet and place both hands on his chest,
"I like how you hung up for me,"
He said smugly,
"You need to leave,"
I only replied hastily. He gives me a confused look as he question,
"Why's that?"
He still had his hands placed on my hips. I try to push him away but he only pulled me back closer making our fronts touching,
"Noah stop. Luke's coming up. You need to go,"
He raised an eyebrow as he averted the subject,
"What if I don't want to?"
I give him a look of bewilderment,
"Are you serious?"
"Serious as a rock,"
He wanted something. I know he did. His eyes said it all and there was no denying it. I drop my head down so that I wasn't looking at him. I take in a few breaths before asking,
"You clearly didn't come here for no reason. What do you want?"
"You,"
He didn't even hesitate. I look at him in bewilderment. We hold eyes, neither of us backing away or even attempting to blink. There was a growing tension until the handle to my office door started moving up and down. My head shoots towards the door as I scream out,
"WAIT! DON'T COME IN JUST YET!"
Just as the door was about to open, it halted and Luke spoke,
"Is everything okay Sugarplum?"
I look back at Noah who just shrugs his shoulder. I throw my head back and moan quietly to myself,
"God you're no help. Hide under the desk,"
It was his turn to widen his eyes,
"What I-"
"Give me a second Luke, I need to change my trousers. I accidentally spilt coffee on my skirt,"
Noah smirks as he brings his lips to my ear,
"Lying to cover us up now are we?"
I slit my eyes as I point under my desk. His face falls as he just stares between the desk and me. He whispers harshly,
"Seriously?!"
"I'm so serious that I can bet my fortune on it,"
He gives me a look as he comments,
"Really now? That's so old,"
"Yeah says the one who said it first,"
"Er Lils are you okay in there,"
I look back at the door,
"Yeah! Just..."
I managed to get out of his embrace and pushed him around so that he was stood in front of me,
"... you know..."
I laugh nervously as I pushed Noah down so that he was crouching. I also bend down to meet his height. I spoke to Luke whilst I had my attention on Noah,
"... multiple buttons and..."
Noah somehow miraculously fitted into the space under my desk. He gave me a death look but I only gave him a sweet smile and an air kiss. I stood up and walked round to the front, giving my desk one last look before looking around the place.
I nodded in satisfaction and ran back to my desk, this time sitting on the chair. I wheeled myself closer to the desk and Noah himself. I tucked a stand of hair behind my ear and pulled a smile before releasing a breath I didn't know I was holding,
"I'm done. You can come now,"
The door opened in slow motion and Luke stepped in with his eyes in slits like he was expecting something to pop out from somewhere. My eyes nervously looked around the room once more, praying to god that nothing was out of place. Luckily nothing did stand out too much.
Luke walked up to to my desk and sat on the chair that was across me. He didn't say anything and just observed the room for a minute or so. Not wanting him to observe to long I lean forward, my hands on the table. I speak breaking the silence,
"So what's up?"
