.Pierce had to be Jaguar.The odd thing was he seemed to have trained for it,prepared for the career, as did Carlotta.And Reggie certainlyseemed involved or supporting it.It was an odd family,though Tobin couldn't deny he'd loved every minute he'dspent with them.Incredibly unconventional, they were kind,loving, well-read, traveled, educated, and constantly55Emerald: Rewriting Historyby EM Lynleyamusing.When he'd left Pierce, it felt like he'd abandoned hisown family.The Worthingtons were such a contrast to hismeat-and-potatoes Midwestern upbringing.Not that he didn'tlove his own family, but the Worthingtons were like havingChristmas every day.But that was unrealistic, and Tobin knew there had to be adark side to the bright, shiny surface.* * * *"About Jaguar?"Pierce's sudden question sent Tobin's heart racing.HadPierce read his mind again? Guilt mixed with worry and Tobincouldn't look at him.He logged out of the email system and pushed his chairback a few inches from the desk.He was still too keyed upabout that night's opening for the museum's top donors,press, random celebrities and anyone in the art world whocould wrangle an invitation.Would the emerald still be therewhen the reception began? So far, Pierce hadn't made asingle call or sent an email or text since they'd been together.Tobin couldn't see how he could take the gem, or anythingelse, from the exhibit."Have any of those pieces allegedly taken by Jaguarresurfaced?"Tobin glanced at Pierce, who looked as if this were asimple question and not filled with irony."I think a few have.It's not like I'm an expert on the guy,or follow his adventures.It's entirely possible." Once Tobinhad convinced himself Pierce was Jaguar, he hadn't kept56Emerald: Rewriting Historyby EM Lynleytrack.And he'd been more concerned with items disappearingfrom museums, not necessarily whether they'd eventuallyreappeared."Now you've got my curiosity piqued.Let's Google it."Pierce moved behind Tobin, getting distractingly close.Onehand moved to Tobin's shoulder, the thumb pressing andmassaging the knotted muscles.Tobin bit back a groan at how good Pierce's strong, skillfulfingers felt.He shuffled in his chair, trying to make room forthe way his cock swelled at Pierce's touch."What? Why?" Tobin couldn't remember what they weretalking about.Oh, right.Jaguar."Let's see what's been taken.Give me some chance toshow I'm not involved.""Go ahead.I want to stretch my legs." Tobin practicallyleapt out of the chair and gestured for Pierce to sit in hisplace.He needed to get away from Pierce, physically.Pierce tilted his head slightly, gave Tobin a roguish grin,then settled himself at the desk.He tapped at the keyboard,and settled back in the chair as he perused the results on thescreen."Come look at this."Tobin padded across the plush carpeting and stood behindPierce, bending down to peer over his shoulder.How did theman manage to still smell so damn good? The scent of thePlaza's shower gel on Pierce reminded Tobin of the previousnight.Being close enough to feel the heat emanating fromPierce's body only inches away, Tobin felt his cock stirringagain.He was still exhausted from the previous night, and57Emerald: Rewriting Historyby EM Lynleytruth be told, slightly sore, but it didn't stop him from wantingPierce again.It took all Tobin's concentration to follow the cursor asPierce pointed to the information on the screen and Tobinread out loud, ".the item was returned to a grateful ownerwho had never expected to see the artifact again."While he read, Pierce reached back and stroked Tobin'sthigh, distracting him and getting him fully aroused again.The fingers on his thigh moved higher, almost burningthrough the fabric, tracing the clear outline of Tobin's cockand providing the perfect amount of pressure.Pierce's phonerang, distracting both of them.He reached out to silence it,but Tobin noticed it was a text message, something about anoptometrist appointment, before Pierce clicked a button andthe screen went blank.Pierce folded up his glasses and stuckthem in his jacket pocketGood, Tobin thought.The last thing he needed was to havesomeone walk in on him with Pierce's hand on his crotch inthe middle of working hours.But Pierce's hand went rightback to the same spot again, and damn it felt good."Unh," slipped out before Tobin could stop it and the nextthing he knew, Pierce had maneuvered him around, assagainst the desk.Silently, Pierce unzipped Tobin's pants andslipped his boxers out of the way so he could take Tobin'scock into his mouth.Oh.God.Oh.No." He couldn't form the words but his brainwas screaming, Not in my office! "Not here."Pierce barely stopped what he was doing to murmur,"Door's locked," against Tobin's balls with a heavenly58Emerald: Rewriting Historyby EM Lynleyvibration."Mmm," Pierce added, tongue licking up the lengthbefore circling the head of Tobin's cock.He sucked hard for amoment before dipping into the slit to torture Tobin again.Forthe next ten minutes or maybe it was ten hours, Tobin lostall sense of time, all sense of anything but what Pierce'smouth and hands did to him.Pierce brought him to the edgethen eased back before again building momentum.Tobingrabbed at Pierce's hair, fingers curling into the silky, darkgolden locks for balance.At one point he opened his eyes andlooked down to see Pierce watching him, an impish delightfilling his eyes.Someone may have knocked at the door, but Tobin gaveup caring.When he finally came, Pierce held his hips tight andswallowed everything, then pulled Tobin onto his lap as hisknees were about to give way.Tobin sat there for a moment,regaining his equilibrium.He leaned closer and kissed Pierce,long and hard, thinking up ways to reciprocate until loudknocking on the door disturbed the mood."Tobin?" It was Chantal.Tobin leapt out of the chair, pulling his pants up andmaking sure he was presentable.He opened the door."Sorry, on a long-distance call.""Okay." Chantal eyed him suspiciously and Tobin felt likerunning back inside and hiding under the desk."Didn't meanto disturb you and that beautiful visitor of yours.Where'veyou been hiding him all this time?""Long story.""Well, don't waste any more time, honey.You don't wantsomeone else snapping him up! Anyway, I wanted to let you59Emerald: Rewriting Historyby EM Lynleyknow I'm leaving early to get ready for the reception tonight.I think everything's under control.""Yes.That sounds like a good idea."Chantal peered around Tobin and he could see Pierce waveto her."You could leave early, too, Tobin""Thanks.See you tonight [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
