Chapter 34

ERICA

“I’ll be thinking about tonight for the rest of my life. Good thing I’m seeing you tomorrow.”

That was the last text I sent Natalie that night. By the next day, I was beside myself with excitement. What I didn’t expect, however, was to see Natalie the moment I stepped into my office Monday morning, dressed as if my birth name were Eric Mann.

Apparently, she had come in so early that she had single-handedly readied one of the conference rooms for my important meeting that morning. Almost impossible to believe that she could beat me to work.

Let me tell you how impossible it was to do anything but grab her and kiss her in front of the whole office. It didn’t help that everyone had their eyes on us from the moment we crossed paths at a bright and early 8:30. Brooke and my security knew about the relationship, and anxiously waited for us to fuck up in front of God and everyone. As for the others, such as my receptionist and the other intern who was as good as a dormouse around there? They must have recognized the attraction between us. I had to be on my guard. Never, ever let my façade down.

This was my usual day. But that didn’t mean it wasn’t an extra layer of hell that Monday morning. The memories of our intense lovemaking were still fresh on my mind. I could still smell her body and taste the depths of her core on the tip of my tongue. Her hair had draped across my own nudity for more than a few minutes. That morning? Natalie had pulled it all back into a ponytail, something I had yet to see on her before.

It was gorgeous, like everything else she wore and did.

Don’t ask me how we managed to stay professional under the onus of hiding our relationship. A greater question would be asking how I possibly hid my giggling or other unmanly behaviors. My tutors were somewhere wondering where they had gone wrong with me.

It’s almost like I was embracing the natural me. If Natalie weren’t careful, I’d have to lock her away in a tower only I could access, just so I could keep my costume before the world.

I was tempted to do that anyway, because the thought of anyone else seeing her and wanting her as badly as I did conjured the green horns of jealousy on my head.

“See that you had a lovely date yesterday.” Brooke decided to make my relationship the first topic we discussed privately that morning. Not the corporate meeting we exited five minutes ago. Not the other appointments I had that day. Natalie. She still wanted to talk about my girlfriend. “Ms. Chen is positively beside herself in twitterpation.”

“What about Twitter?” I asked, pulling out my fountain pen from its drawer and signing off on the pertinent documents from the meeting.

“It’s from… never mind.” Brooke leaned across my desk, attracting my attention. Did she think I had forgotten what her lovely face looked like? Yes, yes.
