We’re just outside the Mayoral building when none other than Bryan Maines pulls up with his team for a planning meeting before they head out. “Taylor, you’re safe,” he says, coming straight up to me. He’s in his lineman gear, and honestly, he’s ruggedly handsome. Most girls want him, but he’s been after me for a while now.
“Yes, I’m glad you are too.” I hold my tablet in hand, looking down at the map of the town with the flood zones, power outages, and downed lines. “I have everything mapped out for your team this morning.” Suddenly, I feel the warmth of my boss behind me. I don’t know what last night was because it was crazy, intense, and over before it truly started. When we woke up, it was business as usual.
“Taylor, a word with you,” Brooks growls.
“Excuse me for one moment.” I step back away from them and move off far enough for us to have a private conversation. “What do you need, Mayor Payne?”
“Mayor Payne?”
“Yes, we’re working,” I reminded him.
“We don’t have time for his flirtation. There is a town in need of repair.”
“Flirtation? Are you serious right now? I don’t need your…whatever this is.” I wave my hand between us. “Excuse me, I’m trying to do my job.” I stomp past him and back toward Bryan, who hasn’t taken his eyes off us.
“Sorry about that. Is there anything you need from the mayor’s office?”
“You.”
“That’s not what I’m talking about, Bryan, and you know it. We have a town to restore.”
“Yes, and we’ll handle that just fine, but I haven’t given up on us even if the Mayor tries to cockblock me. You don’t have to sleep with him because your father tried to kill him. I’ll make a great boyfriend.”
“That’s tough shit. She’s not for you,” Brooks growls, getting in between Bryan and me.
“Mayor Payne,” Bryan and I repeat.
“Cute, get the fuck out of my face before you have an accident,” Brooks says, getting in Bryan’s face, standing an inch taller and slightly bulkier. “She belongs to me.”
“I don’t belong to anyone.”
“Don’t challenge me, Taylor.” He grabs Bryan by the collar. “Go fucking do your job, or I’ll have you arrested for threatening a public official.” He leans in, and I don’t know what he says to him, but it scares Bryan, which pisses me off. It's not that I wanted Bryan, but Brooks’ heavy-handed behavior is out of control, especially because it’s been missing for the past two years.
“Hey, just because you ate me out doesn’t mean you own me,” I shouted. He freezes, and so do I because I just said that in front of an entire group of men. Thankfully the camera crews aren’t around yet because I’d be mortified.
Storming toward me, Brooks says, “I licked you, so you’re mine.”
“I’m not yours,” I argue.
“We’ll see.” He bends down, cuffs my legs around the back of my knees, and flips me over his shoulder.
“Put me down, you big idiot.”
“No, we’re going to make sure everyone knows you’re mine.” He carries me into the elevator and then sets me down on my feet. My back hits the wall as his mouth comes crashing down with his hands bracketing me firmly to the elevator. It’s over before it begins as the elevator dings, and he hooks his hands under my ass, carrying me out toward his office.
“We have a town to rescue,” I insist while he nibbles on my neck.
“We have done everything we can from our end, Taylor. We are taking a break, and then we’ll go back out there to handle the rest.” His office door slams shut, and I find myself pinned to his desk.
He has me on the desk, thighs parted, with his eyes trained on me. “You’re mine, Taylor. I have to have you right now; nothing else matters, just you and me.”
“What if someone comes in?” I ask, watching him toss his sweater onto the chair. His strong muscles, which I saw flexed as he worked yesterday, are mine to touch. I reach out and grab onto his forearms.
“I’ll strangle them,” he says, and somehow, I actually believe he’s serious as he leans down and steals a deep, dirty kiss. He quickly tugs down my leggings, tugging them off with my shoes. “Fuck, I’d eat that tight pussy, but I don’t need you passing out on me, baby. I want to fill this sweet hole with my seed. Marking you as mine so every fucker out there knows you’re mine. He frees himself from his jeans, and this is the first time I see his massive cock. It’s huge, like bigger than I could have imagined, larger than I felt against me as he pinned me down. My heart races, thinking about the damage he’s going to do to my insides, my pussy throbs with excitement and desire.
