Emily had just finished a class and was looking through her emails when her boss came in. James was about 6 feet and had short dark brown hair, with brown eyes. He was in good shape for someone in his 30s and he had already been working at the hospital by the time Emily had started. She always had a feeling that he may have felt something towards her, that was more on a romantic level, though she never returned those feelings. Now that she was with Joe, much less would it happen. After making small talk though, he showed the real reason for why he stopped by.
"So the charity thing that's happening in a few weeks for the Leukemia Foundation, do you have a date, yet?" He asks.
"Yes, I do." Emily replies. "Are you going as well?"
"Oh, I was thinking about going, but I wanted to see if you would like to go together." James replies. "Does it have to do with the person you've been rumored to be dating?"
She looks up at him and sees something pass in his eyes, though she wasn't sure what it was. "I am dating someone, and yes that is who I'm going with. Why?"
"I thought you didn't date people you work with." He says, almost in disbelief.
"I'm not his employee, James." She bites back. "And he's not mine. Besides, you just said that you wanted to see if I would go with you, but you're my boss. We're working together on a good cause, and who knows if somewhere in the future, Joe and I could work on other projects together."
It's the first time she has ever said out loud, anything about a future of any kind between herself and Joe. The thought was short lived when she heard James talking again about being on first name basis with him.
"Is there a problem?" A deep voice asked from behind.
Her heart fluttered, recognizing the person the voice belonged to. It didn't take long for her to stand and see him walking into the room. Joe walked in as if he owned the place, with the subtle yet unmistakable confidence that she thought was just so sexy in a man.
"Mr. Anoa'i, good to see you." James said, looking at the large man walking up to them.
Joe had on a black suit, that fit his body like a glove, with a black button up shirt underneath. His hair slicked back into a neat bun. A drink from Starbucks in his hand. A strawberry refresher with lemonade. One of her favorite drinks. His eyes were dark as he looked at James, having a few inches on him, as well as over 30 pounds. Despite the darkness in his eyes, he kept himself calm and collected.
"I was just asking if she had a date for the charity event for your foundation." James says in reply, keeping it as professional as possible with the man.
"Emily's going with me." Joe says without hesitation. "There's no problem with that, is there? I should believe there isn't, because if you had an issue with me, you would speak to me about it, and not take it out on her. Right?"
"No, of course. You're absolutely right, Mr. Anoa'i." James says, scratching the back of his neck.
Though he didn't fail to notice when Joe looked over at Emily and saw how his eyes lit up when he did. The way he looked at her as if she was the only one in the room. The way she looked at him in the same manner. James knew that Emily's heart may never be his and maybe it never was. She always tried to never lead James on or give him the wrong idea, because she just never felt that way towards him and wanted to keep things on a professional level.
"Good morning, Ms. Emily." Joe says, with a smile that only she gets from him, winning him a sweet smile from her.
"Good morning." She replies, dimples now showcasing themselves as she smiles, with her bright blue eyes.
Joe closes the gap, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her close. Emily easily fit in his arms as he gives her the drink in his other hand. Emily happily takes a sip as James tries to get the man's attention.
"Is there something I can help you with, Mr. Anoa'i?" He asks.
Joe's eyes go dark again, when he looks over at the man. "Yes, you wanted to speak to me. I took it as an opportunity to come by and see Emily. I have some good news to tell her that I thought would be better heard in person."
"Yes, that's right." James says, running his hand against his face. "I'll give you two a few minutes. You can come to my office when you're ready."
Joe didn't wait for the man to be completely gone from the room, his eyes lighting up again and kissing Emily, before touching her nose with his. They share another kiss before he reluctantly pulls away, resting his forehead against hers.
"You should stop by more often." Emily says. "I like your visits, and I also like hearing good news."
He chuckles. "My precious sweetheart. The presentation you did for the foundation, Ms. Montgomery loved it and she wants you to present it to the rest of the group. She's hoping we can put it in motion once you do."
"Really?!" Emily asks excitedly. "That's amazing! I was so nervous that she wouldn't like it."
"Why wouldn't she?" Joe asks. "You did amazing on that, don't doubt how good you are sweetheart."
The presentation was about what could be done to help educate everyone about Leukemia, especially vulnerable communities such as minorities and low income areas who may have little to no access to resources available for a lot of health issues. Low income and minority communities held a special place in her heart when it came to health education. Being an immigrant herself and knowing how hard it can be for one in this country, especially when it comes to finance, she wanted to make a difference in those communities.
"Thank you for believing that I can do it." Emily softly says. "And thank you for coming to see me, and for my Starbucks."
That look passes in his eyes again as he smiles. The same one she's seen a few times when he's with her, but wasn't sure what it was. Cradling her face, he kisses her deeply. Melting in his arms, warmth spreads within her and feels the electric hum between them.
"I'll always believe in you, sweetheart. But I should also try to come by more often for a visit." Joe says against her lips.
She giggles, snuggling in his arms. "Yes, you should."
A few minutes later, Joe reluctantly pulled away from her. He never wanted to be away from her. Emily was like a ray of light that he never wanted to have go out. Joe knew that he would do anything for her and anything to make her smile and hear her laugh. The way her eyes light up when she's happy or talking about something she loves. The genuine love that she gives to those that she cares about. The way she makes him want to be a better man, encouraged him to continue working hard to provide them with a better life together. A better life for her.
That weekend, Emily had just taken a shower and was making her way to the living room where Joe was sitting, looking through the channels, trying to find something to watch. They had made a mess when they made dinner and spent more time trying to pay attention to the food, than to each other's lips. Joe had on basketball shorts and his hair was out, and quickly turned his attention to her when she came into view with an oversized t-shirt that she liked wearing. Joe wasn't sure if she had on any pants underneath, but didn't mind if she didn't. The only sexual thing that they've done to date, was just him, happily having his head buried in between her legs, making her orgasm as much as he could. Emily sat on his lap, facing him and rested her arms on his shoulders. Joe's eyes roamed as he put the remote to the side.
"You know what I was thinking?" She asks, bending down to bite on his ear.
"What's that?" He asks, squeezing her thighs.
Grabbing his hand, she places it between her legs and his fingers made their way to her already slick folds. He groans and feels her hand reach to his already formed erection. Emily let out a moan and again when a finger made its way inside.
"Is that what you want?" He asks, as she moves her hips when he adds another finger.
"Yes." She breathed out.
Joe reached up with his free hand and cupped her breast, stroking his thumb against her nipple, feeling it pebble underneath his touch. She had nothing on underneath her shirt and feeling her tighten around his fingers, he continued to finger her a few moments longer before pulling out and sucking off his fingers. She bites her lips as her hands grab each side of his face. Kissing, he dug his hand in her hair, pulling when he grabs a handful of it. Emily moans against his lips when he does, tugging on his lip. He groans and secures her legs around his waist, and gets up holding her tight against him. Emily feels his erection agains her with every step he takes and feels when Joe grabs her asscheek and squeezes.
"This ass is mine." Joe growls in her ear.
"Hurry to the room and show me." She whimpers.
Seconds later, they got to his room where Joe kicks the door close. Emily lands on her feet and Joe wasted no time taking off her shirt revealing the body underneath.
"You're so beautiful and sexy." Says Joe, digging his hands in her hair, kissing her.
Her nails gently run down her stomach until they reach his shorts. Pulling it down, he pulls away to let her pull his shorts down further until he's able to kick them off. His erection breaks free, long and thick. Lust in both their eyes, she turns him around and gets him to lay back on the bed. Getting on her knees when she climbs on the bed in between his legs, she takes his erection in his hand strokes it, hearing him hiss.
"Sexy and deadly." He says, as she shows a spark in her eye.
She runs her tongue on the underside of his member and places a kiss on the tip before taking him in her mouth. Joe curses under his breath she slowly takes him in, working her tongue in a way that gets him to groan. Emily stops using her hands when she starts to slowly take him deeper, looking up him as she does. Joe groans and has a satisfied look on his face as he eagerly looks on.
"Good girl." He huskily says when she gets him deep enough to feel the back of her throat a few times.
He grabs a handful of her hair and keeps himself deep in her mouth. When he felt like he was getting close, he gently pulled her up, flipping them around so that she was underneath him.
"I want to come inside you." He says, lapping his tongue against her nipples.
Emily moans and arches her back, desire running rampant throughout her body. "Joe."
Every part of her body was natural, and he loved it. Settling in between her legs, he gave her a kiss before pulling away enough to see the look on her face when he pushes past her slick folds. She gasps, feeling his long and thick member stretch her out little by little, before moaning. Joe curses again as he does, groaning in pleasure.
"You're so big." She moans as he gets as far in as he could go without hurting her.
He starts long, deep, toe curling strokes, placing his hands on each side of her head. She holds on to his back, running her nails up and down his back. She leans her head back on the pillow, feeling him bite her neck feeling the rumble of his deep groan against her neck. Smiling, she looks up at him to see him already looking.
"You like that?" He asks, biting her lips and tugging.
"Yes." She says a few times without hesitating, giving him a kiss. "Joe, please…"
She closed her eyes in pleasure as his strokes continued, and his lips made their way around her skin, followed by his hands. Tightening around him, it didn't take long after that for her orgasm to shatter through her, putting stars in her eyes. Emily screams his name as she does and he doesn't lose his rhythm, even as she digs her nails into his back.
"Good girl." He says in her ear, as he groans and continues his strokes.
The intensity of the pleasure between them was something they couldn't ignore, neither was how good it felt. Sounds of pleasure filled the room, even after two more orgasms from Emily. With a leg now over his shoulder, his strokes were deeper and after one more orgasm, Joe groans loudly as his body stiffens and jerks, emptying out his seed deep inside her. With spots in his eyes, it had been a long while since he came that much and that hard. Heavily breathing, they laid there with Joe still inside her, and his face against her neck. Emily kisses his shoulder and softly runs her fingers up and down his back. It wasn't until they came down from their high a little more and Joe pulled out, that they both realized what had happened.
"I'm sorry, I was just thinking about being inside you, that I didn't stop to think about a condom." He says.
"I mean, I'm on birth control. It's okay." She replies.
To be honest, Emily wasn't thinking about one either which isn't like her. She was always one to make sure the person she had sex with used protection, even though she's on birth control. Even previous boyfriends, and people she dated, she would have them use one. But with Joe, it didn't freak her out him not having used one. It didn't take long to realize that Joe has been everything she's needed in a person and though it scares her from time to time, she accepts it with open arms. She's opening her heart to him, and letting him in more than she's done with anyone else. When Joe took her to the bathroom to clean her up, he found himself buried inside her again. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep in his arms when they went back to his bed afterwards.
