Once Danny picked Lacey up and carried her back to his bedroom, he went into attack mode. He had a mission to accomplish and a point to prove. He was too cocky to let a woman that he was with not be satisfied. Especially one he liked. He really liked Lacey and wanted to make her happy. He of course knew she was just joking about him being a lousy lay, but he used that as his excuse to get her into bed again. He could happily and comfortably spend the rest of his life in bed with Lacey. It was highly unlikely and unconventional to do that, but that's where his mind was. He never thought he would ever get the chance to be with Lacey considering her hate for him, so he wanted to cherish that. He was glad they were put on that project together because it brought them together. He and Lacey might still be arch enemies if they hadn't been forced to work together on that project.
Danny felt like he wanted to thank their boss for throwing them together because he knew for certain that she wouldn't be naked in his bed right now had they not been thrown together. He already had her quivering and he was confident he could make her do more. Seeing Lacey Porter naked in front of him still jarred him. Now she was naked in all her glory in his bed. He had tasted her and been inside of her. She had tasted him too, and that's something he never thought would happen. He enjoyed every second they were together. His dick got hard just thinking about putting it inside of her again. He loved the way she tasted and felt. He wanted to experience that for a long time.
His mission to claim the title as the best she ever had went to the point of almost extreme. He tasted and sexed Lacey to the level of exhaustion. They both had forgotten about the meal that Danny had prepared for them. They finally wore each other out and went to sleep. They awoke the next morning with very little time to spare.
Danny woke up first and realized that it was later than the time he usually got up for work. "Damn!" Danny yelled which caused Lacey to stir a little. "Lacey, wake up. We're going to be late for work." Danny says as he tries to rustle her.
Lacey looked around and almost forgot where she was. It felt a little weird to her to wake up laying next to Danny. "What?" Lacey asked with her thoughts and mind pretty clouded.
Danny got out of the bed and tried to pull her out of bed. "I said we need to hurry and get going because we're almost late for work." Danny says.
Lacey's realization of the matter at hand caused her to jump out of bed. "Dammit. It is not going to look good if both of us go in late." Lacey says.
"What are you going to wear?" Danny asks as he heads to his bathroom.
"Dammit!" Lacey says again remembering her dress she left hanging in her car. "I have a dress in my car. I have to run out and get it." Lacey says as she looks around and tries to find something to throw on to run out to her car.
Danny throws on a pair of sweat pants. "You start getting ready and I'll run down and get it. Where are your keys?" Danny asks.
"Um. I think they're in my jacket." Lacey says as she heads into the bathroom.
"I'll be right back." Danny says and off he goes. Lacey starts up the shower and hops in. She's lathering her body when Danny startles her and jumps in with her. "We should have a quickie while we're in here." Danny suggests with a smirk on his face.
Lacey looks at him and playfully rolls her eyes. "We don't have time for that. Plus, I don't think my vagina can take any more." Lacey admits truthfully as she continues to wash her body.
"I guess you're right since we're already late. I will apologize for that, but I can't apologize for not being able to keep my hands and my penis away from you. I had to make up for all that time you spent hating me." Danny says as he washes his body alongside the woman he is truly smitten with.
"I still hate you." Lacey says as she giggles.
"I still hate you too." Danny says before they just finish up in silence.
They laughed like teenagers when they both stood at the sink to brush their teeth. They stole subtle glances at each other in the mirror. They were almost falling over each other trying to get ready. Danny got a little distracted watching Lacey dress. He thought she looked amazing in the black peplum dress she put on with the stilettos she wore over there. He would always remember the way she came over to his place. Lacey was taken aback at watching Danny get ready too. Just seeing him button his white shirt and fix his tie was a turn on. She was just more clever with her watching him. The fact that they spent their evening and the entire night together naked was irrelevant. Getting ready seemed to be intimate, like they were an actual couple. Lacey had to admit she kind of liked the idea of that though she wouldn't readily admit it. She had no idea that Danny was thinking the same thing about her. He pictured Lacey as his girlfriend and the woman in his life. Now that she wasn't just the cold and bitchy monster her mistakenly judged her to be. She had awesome qualities that any man would want in a mate. He was getting older. Not too over the hill, but he was getting there. At 28, some might say that a man had plenty of time to remain a bachelor, but being a bachelor sometimes came with loneliness.
Danny wasn't exactly or technically lonely because he could pretty much have any woman he wanted. All it took was a phone call. But he somehow wanted more. Maybe it just wasn't that he wanted more, he may have just wanted more with Lacey. She seemed to change his way of thinking. He knew that he would have to make a major change if he wanted Lacey in his life and not just in his bed. That thought seemed to cover him like fog. He shook the thought from his mind and decided to test the waters. He was perfectly willing to stick his neck out when it came to Lacey. He broached subjects with her he would never bring up to another woman.
"You know, you can keep your toothbrush and some other things here if you want." Danny suggests.
Lacey looked at him in surprise. Danny kind of shocked Lacey with what he told her "Really? You want me to keep things here? Won't your little girlfriends get upset if they see another woman's stuff here?" Lacey asks candidly.
"No. I don't have any little girlfriends. Every woman I interacted with knew things weren't serious with us." Danny says. Lacey takes time to really think about what he said before she finished getting ready.
"Are you saying things are serious with us?" Lacey wonders.
"That's exactly what I'm saying. I know you just got out of a relationship and I don't want to be your rebound guy, but I want you to think about it." Danny says.
"Sure. I can think about it." Lacey says as she smiles at him while she quickly ran her flatiron through her hair. She knew that time was valuable and they didn't have much to spare.
"I feel like eating my hand because I'm starving." Danny says as they walk from his bedroom and head towards the elevator.
"I know. It's your fault we didn't eat last night though." Lacey responds as she gives him a slight smile.
"I apologize, but my cocky side took over. I couldn't let you just call me a lousy lay. My ego was bruised." Danny jokes.
"Your cocky side? That little monster is always on both sides. It's ok though. I think you have the right to be cocky." Lacey says as they step on to the elevator.
"I'm glad you approve." Danny says as he flashes her a huge smile.
"I guess I do. You can't really teach an old dog new tricks." Lacey says as she laughs. The elevator door opened and she rushed ahead of him.
"I have plenty of tricks I haven't even shown you yet." Danny says when he catches up to her and they walk out of his building.
"Promise?" Lacey asks as she pecks him on the lips.
"I promise." Danny says as he pecks her this time.
Lacey followed Danny in her car because she figured his way to work would get them there in a timely manner. She was in a fantastic mood so she put on music to match that. She decided to put on Janelle Monae. She had a gorgeous face and a gorgeous voice to match. She pulled into the parking garage right behind Danny and parked a space away. When she got out of her car, Danny was waiting for her. He actually took her hand as they strolled through the garage and headed towards their building. Lacey felt butterflies. It was weird and a little strange. It was an impossible feeling that she never, ever expected to feel. She never thought she would willingly be holding hands with Danny Desai and liking it. She had all but forgot about Archie and him hurting her by cheating on her. She really had Danny to thank for that. He said he would cheer her up and he did. He also gave her multiple orgasms and the best sex she ever had. She thought back to all that trash he talked before. She thought it was just smoke and mirrors, but the man definitely backed up every claim he made. She knew first hand that some men thought more highly of themselves than was realistic. That wasn't Danny's case at all. She actually liked how cocky he was. At first, she found it off-putting and intolerable, but now she liked it. It suited him and made him sexier. She would continue to let him think it didn't turn her on as much as it did though. She couldn't show all of her cards. Just like she couldn't reveal all her tricks their first time together. She had to save something for another time. If she just put all her cards on the table, he could get bored and things would become monotonous and mundane. She didn't want that. She had plans to have more encounters with Danny. If a relationship ever came out of it, then she would really win. All she knew at that moment was that she was totally in to Danny. She wasn't and didn't need to make any apologies for it.
They released each other's hand as they left the parking garage and headed inside the building. "Do you want some coffee or anything? Even though I'm already pepped up, I don't want to crash and burn later. We hardly got any sleep last night." Lacey states.
"Sure. I'm on the same page as you. We have a lot to do before we leave Monday. And as much as I hate to say it, we might have to do some work over the weekend." Danny says as they head towards Starbucks.
"I know. But we have four days. We just have to make sure we don't get distracted and do everything we need to do." Lacey says.
"Just so that you're aware, it's going to be a challenge for me to keep my hands off of you." Danny says as he gives her the smoldering smirk.
"If you keep your hands to yourself while we're here, I'll let you touch me as much as you want after work. Is that a deal?" Lacey teases.
"You've got yourself a deal, Ms. Porter." Danny says as they get their morning fix and head to their offices. They get on the elevator and have to keep their hands to themselves because they are not alone. They step off the elevator and Danny discreetly pinches Lacey's butt. "I'll see you soon." Danny says as he heads in the opposite direction.
Lacey grinned and blushed like a schoolgirl on her way to her office. She ran smack into Whitney on her way there. Whitney wants to take this moment and run with it. "I saw that." Whitney says.
"You saw what?" Lacey asks in mock ignorance.
"Danny pinch your ass. You two are totally sleeping together." Whitney says.
Lacey enters her office with Whitney following. Sometimes Lacey wished that Whitney's office wasn't so close to hers. This was undeniably one of those times. "We are not." Lacey lies before she goes to sit at her desk.
Whitney eyes Lacey carefully. "You are lying your face off. I can see your nose growing. Plus, all of the things you two did yesterday leads me to believe that you two are sleeping together. Did you finally get rid of Archie? I haven't seen you acting like this ever." Whitney says as she continues to eye Lacey. "You're glowing and smiling. Danny has to be the reason why."
"We are not sleeping together, Whitney." Lacey lies. "We just don't hate each other any more. Us working together on this project has made us be cordial, but that's it. Archie and I broke up, but that's neither here nor there." Lacey says. She wasn't going to tell Whitney about Archie just yet, but if that takes her focus off of her and Danny, then she's willing to discuss that. She doesn't even feel bad about their breakup any more. Thanks to Danny.
"You and Archie broke up? When? Why?" Whitney inquires as she closes Lacey's office door and goes to sit down.
"Yes, we broke up. We broke up Tuesday night. We broke up because I found out he cheated on me." Lacey says and waits for Whitney's reaction.
"He cheated on you? Really? He was lucky to have you, and he cheated on you? With who?" Whitney asks incredulously. She really doesn't understand why a guy would cheat on Lacey considering how gorgeous and wonderful she is.
"I don't know who she is. But that's what he said. I'm fine though." Lacey says truthfully.
"That is unbelievable. You know if you were my girlfriend, I would never cheat on you." Whitney says.
"You sound just like Danny." Lacey says and realizes her mistake but it's too late now.
"Of course I sound like Danny. We both know what a great catch you are. Too bad Archie was too stupid to realize that." Whitney says.
"Thanks, I guess. So how's your dating life?" Lacey asks to take the focus off her again.
"Nonexistent. And I'm totally ok with it. I'm not ok with you always trying to change the subject when we talk about you though." Whitney replies.
"I'm not trying to change the subject. There's just nothing to tell you." Lacey lies again. She would really love to tell Whitney about her and Danny, but not just yet.
"Alright. I still think you do have something to tell me though. I know you're sleeping with him. I know I'm right. I guess I get why you don't want to tell me, but you don't have to worry about me trying to snag him once I find out how great he is in bed." Whitney counters while still eyeing Lacey carefully to see if she gets a reaction from her.
"Whitney, when I have something to tell you, I will tell you. I already know you won't try to snag him. I'm not worried about that at all. Ok?" Lacey says with a smile.
"Ok. Well, let me head to my office because I know you have to head over to Danny's. I'll see you later." Whitney says and she leaves Lacey's office quickly.
Lacey gets herself together before she heads to Danny's office. She feels like she's walking on sunshine, as corny as it may sound. She hums to herself on the short trek over to his office. She expected to see Cole in his office with him, but he was by himself. He seemed to again be waiting for her. Lacey knocks anyway. "Ready to get started?" Lacey asks as she walks in.
"Not really. There are other things I'd rather be doing with you instead of this, but I'll live." Danny says as he smiles at her and walks over to close his office door.
"You do remember our deal, right?" Lacey says as she immediately gets to work.
"Yes. Even though I don't like it. I'll just have to behave myself." Danny says as he fake pouts and blinks rapidly.
Lacey looks at the expression on his face and tries to ignore it. "Don't give me that face, mister. You will survive. If you really behave yourself, I'll make it up to you when we go out of town." Lacey says seductively.
"Then I really promise to be on my best behavior and behave myself. I will be a boy scout for the day." Danny says as he raises his hand to give her his word.
"Uh uh. The last time you said you would behave like a boy scout, I ended up naked. And now I'm falling-" Lacey starts to say but stops herself.
Danny perks up. "What were you about to say?" Danny asks in a cheerful tone.
"Nothing. Let's get to work." Lacey says.
Danny decides to let it go, because he doesn't want to upset her. He has made too much progress to backtrack. He knows she was going to say she was falling for him. That made him a very happy man.
"Me too." Is all Danny says before he gets to work. He noticed the faint smile planted on Lacey's face that she quickly tried to hide.
Danny and Lacey really got into their groove of working until Danny got a call from Mr. Wheeler's secretary, April. He wanted to see them in his office. They both leave Danny's office and head for the elevator. They ride up to the fifteenth floor in a comfortable silence. They sit in the same seats they sat in the first time they had to come to Mr. Wheeler's office. They both sat down quietly. This time the room wasn't filled with positively charged sexual tension. It was filled with something else. Something more like sexual chemistry. It oozed from them. April, Mr. Wheeler's secretary, picked right up on it. She figured that they must have done something about all of that sexual tension since they were there the last time. She still thought that they made an awfully gorgeous couple. She wondered if they already were and were just hiding it because they worked together. April became enamored with the people in front of her until she saw the light flash on her phone alerting her that Mr. Wheeler was ready for them.
"You two can go in now." April says.
Danny and Lacey stand and head inside Mr. Wheeler's office. They again approach the desk and wait for permission to sit. "Mr. Desai and Ms. Porter. Please have a seat." He smiles and waits until they're comfortable before he begins. "So, how is everything going with the project I have you two working on?" Mr. Wheeler asks.
Lacey speaks first. "It's going well." Lacey says as she smiles.
"Yes, sir. It's going well. Great, actually." Danny says.
"Wonderful. So you're all set to go?" Mr. Wheeler asks.
"Not quite. We just have to type up the report. That's an easy thing to handle before we print out our findings. We have plenty of time though." Danny says.
"Great. Well if you need to use the print room after hours, just let me know. I'll make sure the security team knows that you'll be in the building when it's closed." Mr. Wheeler says.
"Thank you, Sir. We will alert you with any needs we have." Lacey says as she smiles again.
"Splendid. Enjoy the rest of your day and your weekend. Enjoy your trip as well. I'm just a phone call away." Mr. Wheeler says.
"Thank you, Sir." Danny says and he and Lacey stand to leave his office. Once they're inside the elevator, Danny speaks.
"We should totally have sex all over this building if we're here after hours." Danny says.
"So we can get caught? I don't think so, Danny." Lacey says.
"Then you need to give me a better alternative." Danny says.
"How about we share a room when we go out of town?" Lacey offers.
"And you said we wouldn't share a room when we left. Remember that?" Danny says triumphantly.
Lacey just looks over at him and smiles. "Of course, I remember. You should remember that I can always change my mind, though." Lacey says smartly.
"You're not going to change your mind." Danny says surely as the elevator stops and the doors open. He and Lacey stop out and head back to his office where they really work on the project so they can be close to finished. Danny had lunch delivered to his office for them because they really didn't have time to stop and go somewhere. Minus their few bathroom breaks, they worked hard past quitting time. They informed Mr. Wheeler that they would use the print room the next day. By the time they left that evening, it was dark. As they were walking to their cars, Danny again grabbed Lacey's hand. "Are you spending the night again?" Danny asks.
"Do you want me to?" Lacey asks as she playfully nudges him.
"Yes. I want that very much." Danny says.
"Ok. I have to go past my house and get some clothes though." Lacey says.
"Lacey, you're not going to need clothes." Danny responds.
Lacey again followed Danny in her car. She did her normal thing of turning on music to keep her company. She loved listening to music while she was in her car. She put on some Pink because she was in a rock star kind of mood. She pulled into the parking spot right next to Danny's. It seemed pretty surreal to her that just a mere 5 days ago, she hated Danny's guts. Well, that's the story Lacey is sticking to. She did hate him though. Now she didn't hate him. She was falling for him. She almost let it slip out that she was falling for him earlier. Though she isn't technically in love, she is in serious like right now.
Danny pressed her up against her car and gave her a deep, passionate kiss. "I'm gonna make you scream tonight." Danny says with much seduction and certainty in his voice.
"Really? Make me scream what?" Lacey asks as she places her arms around his neck.
"My name." Danny says as he pulls away from her and grabs her hand to pull her into the building. They got on the elevator and headed into Danny's place. Lacey was really starting to feel at home in his place. She felt welcomed there and enjoyed spending time with Danny. Though they worked together, spending this much time together hadn't gotten on her nerves yet. When it did, she would readily retreat to her own house. They walked over and Lacey sat on the sofa. She kicked her stilettos off after having them on all day and made herself comfortable. After turning music on, Danny came back and sat down next to Lacey. He was loosening his tie and it was turning Lacey on for some reason. She knew why though. Danny just oozed sexiness. She had never really paid attention to men and their ties before because they're just ties. But something about the way Danny adjusted his tie, rolled up his sleeves, put his hair into a bun, and stroked his goatee really turned Lacey on. Maybe it was his hands. Or his fingers. They sure felt good when they were inside of her.
Lacey got lost in thought thinking about his hands and his fingers that she didn't notice that Danny was watching her. "What?" Lacey asks subtly.
"I could ask you the same thing." Danny says.
Lacey smiled to hide her embarrassment. "I just got a little lost in thought, that's all." Lacey says.
"I get it. You can't stop thinking about me." Danny says as he grins at her.
"You can't stop thinking about me either." Lacey says as she slides closer to him and takes his hair out of the bun.
"I thought you didn't like my hair." Danny says as he pulls her legs into his lap. He slowly removed her thigh highs while gently rubbing on her legs.
"I don't. I don't like you either." Lacey says in a serious tone.
"Well, I hate you." Danny says as he slides his hand under her dress and slides her panties aside.
Lacey let out a moan when one of his fingers slipped inside her. She moved her body to straddle his waist. Lacey continued to play in his hair and then she kissed him on his lips. "I hate you too." Lacey says and kissed Danny again longer and deeper. She used her tongue this time. Danny pushed her dress up to her waist and unzipped the back. He easily slipped her dress off over her head. They went back to feverish kissing as Lacey unbuttoned his shirt while he unhooked her bra. She was now topless as she took off his shirt and helped him out of his tank. She pressed her bare chest to his. The skin to skin contact sent electric jolts through both of their bodies. She felt the hair on his chest tickle her nipples and it really started to arouse her.
Danny grabbed a handful of her ass and felt himself almost burst out of his pants. "Take these off." Danny says as he sticks his finger under the rim of her panties. Lacey quickly stood in front of him and then slowly pulled her panties down. She immediately hopped back on his lap and started to kiss him again. She could feel how hard and ready for her he was when she straddled his lap. Danny undid his belt and unbuttoned his pants. He lifted himself and Lacey off the sofa as he pulled down his pants and boxers at the same time. Lacey's hand reached down to grab his penis and put it inside of her as soon as he was seated back on the sofa. They continued with their deep kissing as they started to move with each other. Lacey rode him while he rubbed and grabbed her ass cheeks. Danny gave her ass a light smack before he went back to kneading it. Without pulling out of her, he stood and laid her on the couch. He changed the pace and the feel of their sexing when he laid on top of her. Lacey wrapped her legs around his waist as they settled into their new groove. Danny surprised Lacey by changing the pace and position again when he pulled out of her and told her to turn over. She raised up on her knees and backed her ass up to him as Danny entered her slowly. He took his dick out and started to smack it against her ass. He entered her again and gave her a few forceful thrusts before he took his dick out again. He used the tip of his dick to play with her clitoris from behind. When he had her panting, he entered her again and started to pound his dick in to her. He grabbed her thighs and lifted her off her knees slightly. That really changed the intensity of him being inside of her. His dick really felt like it was a part of her because of the position they were in. It didn't take long at all for Lacey to start to moan louder and go over the edge. Danny continuing to pump into her took her past the point of no return as she started to quiver and shake. She cried out his name. Lacey actions were music to Danny's ears and it sent him over the edge as well. He grunted and let out an unrecognizable sound before his body finally relaxed behind Lacey and they both collapsed on the sofa.
"That was good." Danny says as he shifted his body behind Lacey's on the sofa.
"That was better than good." Lacey says.
"Now, I need a meal and a shower. Care to join me?" Danny asks.
"Yes. What are we going to eat though?" Lacey asks as she sits up.
"I'll just order something. But tomorrow, I get to take you on a date. A real date. How about it?" Danny asks.
"Ok. But I'm not sleeping with you." Lacey jokes.
"I know." Danny says as he stands and guides Lacey to his bathroom where they take a shower. After that, Lacey again threw on some of Danny's clothes while he ordered take out. He threw away the food he had forgot about that was left on the stove the night before. They ended their night with game playing and another session on the sofa/bed. Lacey attacked Danny this time.
The next morning, Danny awoke to Lacey cooking them breakfast. He hadn't even noticed that she left the bed. Lacey took in Danny's appearance and though he looked incredibly sexy even though he just woke up. Just seeing him in a pair of boxers with his hair out was a huge turn on.
"Good morning." Lacey says with a smile. "I hope you don't mind I raided your kitchen."
"Good morning. Not at all. Thanks for fixing us breakfast." Danny says.
"You're welcome. I have to head home after we eat and then I'll meet you at work so that we can finish on our project." Lacey says as she places food on her plate.
"Yeah, I want to get that completed as soon as possible so that we can have the rest of the day to ourselves." Danny says as he makes his plate.
"Where are we going on our date?" Lacey asks.
"Dinner and somewhere else. I'm not really sure where yet." Danny says.
"Ok." Lacey says and they eat their breakfast. Lacey leaves and heads to her place to look presentable enough to go into work. She met Danny there and they spent a few hours in the print room getting their project in order. They breathed a sigh of relief when the put the last folder together. Lacey again headed back to her place for a quick nap and a few things she needed to do at her house. She packed another bag just in case she spent the night with Danny again.
She got ready for their date after her bag was packed and her outfit selected. She decided on a magenta short strapless dress paired with a black belt, blazer, and pumps. She looked absolutely stunning. When she arrived at Danny's place, he actually became speechless when she got off the elevator.
"You look incredible, Lacey." Danny says as he continues to stare at her. He is seriously mesmerized by her beauty.
"Thank you. You look incredible too." Lacey says. He really does. He's wearing black slacks and a black button down shirt. And he has his hair out again. Lacey finally stopped fighting pretending that she didn't like his hair. She finally stopped fighting pretending she didn't like him. "So, are you ready?" Lacey asks.
"Yes. And we're going in my car." Danny says as he turns everything off and gets ready to leave.
"Good, because I've never been in a Porsche before." Lacey says as she giggles.
"Then that means you've never had sex in a Porsche before either." Danny says as he smirks at her.
"That would be correct." Lacey says as she giggles again.
"That would be the way we'll end our evening." Danny says.
"I'm game." Lacey says as they step on the elevator. They head down and out of the building. Danny was the perfect gentleman and held his car door open for her. They made their way into the city and Danny parked. They were walking down the lively street hand in hand, all over each other. Lacey was gazing at Danny like a teenager in love. She was so busy looking at Danny that she didn't realize someone had walked up to them. Lacey and Danny stopped walking abruptly at the intrusion.
"Hello, Lacey." Lacey looked up and couldn't believe who was standing in front of her. "This must be Danny, right?" Lacey heard the words spoken in a condescending and harsh tone. Danny looked from Lacey to the guy, wondering how he knew his name.
Lacey really, really didn't want to deal with standing face to face with Danny and Archie.
