Since Roman has mentioned it, I’ve noticed the change in Bella. She doesn’t seek attention from us like she used to. She works hard at the office and doesn’t even give herself time to flirt. But I see her and Matthew leave for lunch more than once.
I rub my jaw and call her in after another week since that’s the earliest I can possibly get her in. Bella stands in my office, wearing a sweater dress and knee-high boots. Her hair is back in a high ponytail, pulled away from her face. She looks like she should be walking down a catwalk.
“We have something to discuss, Bella.”
“I have everything set up for the move in two weeks. I’ve even found some places for you and the guys. Two. A penthouse apartment and the top two floors of a building which is up for remodel, you could turn it into a lovely place,” She says, looking at her tablet.
“There are three good insurance options, Nick has updated me on the hiring. I’ve also gotten the names of those who have put in for a transfer to New York, we,” She lists.
“Bella.”
“I’ve let my apartment know that I’ll be leaving and since the mansion you and the guys have is such prime real estate, you may do better to sell in this market rather than rent unless of course, you want to keep the house and-”
“Bella. Sit.”
She blinks a few times as she takes in the tone of my voice and then sits obediently. She sets the tablet on the desk. “This isn’t about work is it?”
“No.” I rub my hands together and take a slow breath.
“Roman pointed something out last week and I ignored it. I can’t any longer.”
She looks at the floor, then meets my eyes.
“Before I elaborate, I will tell you that everything between us has been up to you. It has been and always will be your choice. When you want us, how many of us you want to see at any time, who you want to see. It has always been your choice.”
“I know.”
“On the premise that you’ve always been open and clear,” I remind her.
I stand to walk around my desk, then rest against it as I watch her. Bella pulls her ponytail over her shoulder and plays with the tips. “Miles … I feel close to Matthew. That’s true. But I was also with Roman recently. I was with Gunner yesterday.”
“Shoot straight, Bella. It’s one of my favorite things about you and I’d hate for that to change.”
“When we change states, our relationship will be changing too,” She says, lifting her chin. “I appreciate everything you’ve done for me and with me. I’ve enjoyed every bit of sharing you guys and being shared. It’s been amazing.”
I nod.
“But I feel a connection and I can’t just ignore that.” She swallows. “I’d apologize, but I’m not sorry. And I’ve really loved this.”
“I know you have or you wouldn’t have tolerated it for this long. And we have another two weeks.”
She nods, eying me slowly. “Two weeks to enjoy this relationship completely.”
When I’m silent, she stands and rubs her hand over my chest. “I only have one favor to ask.”
“A favor?”
“One I’m happy to … pay for.” She smiles slightly and bites her bottom lip. “In any of your favorite ways.”
I chuckle softly. She is a wild minx. She knows what she wants and what she offers. Her hand continues down to my belt and she tugs me towards her. She kisses my chin softly. “In our favorite ways.”
“What’s the favor?”
“Let me tell the guys … in my time and my way.” She kisses down my neck slowly. “If we tell them too early, it could just add stress or frustration when I’d rather take care of that.” She undoes my belt.
“And more importantly, I want to have good memories of this. I want to enjoy every second with all of you.”
“I’ll agree to that,” I say simply. “It doesn’t make sense not to agree to this, especially with your current methods.”
She grins and fits her mouth to mine, kissing me slowly, softly, like she still has to win me over. I lick over her tongue, nip her tongue, tease and draw it out. But then I bend her over the desk. “But, because I had to find out about this second hand, I have to punish you.”
“Miles!”
I lift her dress and see her wearing nothing underneath. “And I’m adding to the total number of spanks because you’re distracting me from work.”
“You called the meeting!” She gasps.
My hand comes down on her ass. She yips and turns to look at me. I arch an eyebrow. “And you’re the one who turned it from a conversation into something else.”
I swat her again and she gasps, but her hips rock back to take it again and again. I layer the spanks over her beautiful round ass, taking it from pink to red. She flinches when I lift my hand from her hot skin and I stop.
I spread her open so I can see how wet she is. Nearly dripping. I slide a single finger over her clit to her entrance. “I think you like being punished when you deserve it, baby Bell.”
She pants. I swat her thigh lightly. “Talk to me.”
“I do. I’m all … sensitive and warm.” She groans as I tease her with my finger again. “Please be a thorough sugar daddy.”
I groan at that sexy husky edge to her voice and push two fingers into her sweet pussy. So wet and warm. I rub the spot that I know makes her crazy. I don’t even have to thrust my fingers in, I can just stroke that one spot and watch her tremble.
“I should bring you to the edge of orgasm too. Really punish you,” I say, despite my own hard cock.
“Will we still be colleagues?”
“Of course.” I kiss her neck. “I’m not going to lose someone so diligent. Things might be awkward with the guys.”
“I can handle it.” She spreads her legs and lifts her ass, offering herself up to me. “Just like I handle you.”
“Oh, you handle me?” I step back.
Bella turns and sits on my desk. She leans back, pulling her dress all the way over her breasts before her fingers spread her pussy wide for me. I groan at the view. Bella strokes over her clit, then into her pussy, letting her head fall back as she pants.
“I prefer the way you handle me, but you know how well I take your cock,” She says, pulling her fingers back and licking them.
It does me in. How the hell am I supposed to resist that kind of temptation? I let my pants fall down and thrust into her. Bella moans and strokes over my shoulders. I grab her hands and pin them right behind her. She moans as I fuck her hard and deep. She whimpers and thrusts against me, over and over.
Losing her is truly going to be a loss. A woman that is so well tailored to us in personality, but we all knew this was temporary. But god she feels good. Amazingly good, honestly. I groan and thrust deeper into her, faster and harder.
She feels so perfect.
“Just like that, Miles. Hard and fast. Just like you need.” She pants.
I clamp her hands down harder and give her everything. I ignore any hint of restraint as I bite and kiss her breasts. Her moans echo with my grunts as we lose our minds in my office. This is the best use of this private space hands down.
Bella leans forward, pressing her face to my shoulder as she comes apart. Her pussy spasms around my cock and she whimpers as I go even faster. I lift one hand and wrap it around her throat, pushing her all the back on my desk as things clatter to the floor.
She gasps. “Miles! Oh god!”
“I’m going to make sure you remember me, Bella.”
She comes again and I jerk out, coming on her stomach as we pant together. My legs nearly give out from the force of my orgasm. It’s so intense, sweeping through me insanely. My head is dizzy and I end up sitting in my chair as I fight the dimming of my vision.
Bella sits up slowly and I hand her a cloth to wipe herself up. She takes care of it and pulls her dress down. She helps me redress and kisses me softly.
“I’d never be able to forget you, Miles.”
“You say that because you’re going to keep working for me.”
“I say it because it’s true.” She kisses me again. “You’re wonderful, handsome, and fucking sexy.”
Bella grabs her tablet off the floor, winks at me, and leaves my office. I sit there for a long moment, rubbing my chin. I’m definitely going to miss her. That’s for sure. I clear my throat and try to prepare for the fallout of this.
The guys don’t keep secrets, but I’m going to try and maintain Bella’s request. If she’s been with others recently, that will help soften the blow. Give them all one good memory to remember her by, just like she gave me.
I reach into my top desk drawer and pull out a picture of my daughter. Beautiful Sophie. I smile at it and relish the idea of being closer to her soon. I may not be able to keep Bella, but I’ll get to see my daughter and that’s more important.
From Sugar Daddy to real daddy.
And this could be good for all of us. The move, losing Bella.
“We’ll have to grow up,” I tell myself. “really commit to being mature men.”
A knock on the door startles me, but I yell come in while picking up the few other items on the floor. Luckily it’s Nick. He looks over the room and smirks. “Bella?”
“Bella indeed. What news do you have for me?”
He sinks into the chair and goes over hiring information and the expected growth, the expected expenses, and everything else work-related. I lose myself in work and only remember we’re losing Bella later that night. Matthew stays for dinner then says he has someplace to be.
Nothing else. He doesn’t hint at anything, but I know, and based on the look in Roman’s eyes, he knows too. He’s monopolizing Bella’s time and she’s more than happy to let him. It’ll be good for him too. It’s been too long since he’s been able to get close to someone.
Plus, we’ve survived war, we can absolutely survive losing Bella after enjoying her constantly.
I take a slow breath and see Holden appear. He looks around. “No Bella tonight?”
“I told you to ask her,” Roman says. “Text her tomorrow and I’m sure she’ll come right over. “
He nods once, but Gunner shrugs. “You should expand your options, Hold. She’s got six guys to keep up with.”
He snorts and scratches at his leg. “If Bella knew about this, she wouldn’t have any interest in me.”
“You don’t give her enough credit,” I tell him. “She’s plenty of things, but she’s not like that. Also, how on earth have you managed to keep that a secret for so many months?”
“Distracting her,” He says, but there’s something dark in her eyes. Like he thinks she might know his secret. As if he needs to hide his prosthetic from anyone.
“Just make plans,” Roman says again before heading upstairs. “I have some research to do.”
He’s pouting and trying to hide it. It’s almost cute on Roman.
