Dragon's Clutch (Sanmere Shifters Book 3)

second, Brianne saw the flicker of disappointment on Valerie’s face, but she covered it well and headed toward Brianne.
Brianne steeled herself for what was bound to be Valerie taking out her frustrations on her, but instead, Valerie smiled at her. It made Brianne much more nervous than Valerie’s usual attitude toward her did. Valerie had been nice to her all day. Brianne knew it was an act. She was just happy because she thought Callin had wanted to see her that morning, so she was keeping up the nice act that she seemed to think was reeling him in.
“We’re breaking for lunch now,” Valerie said. “Unless you’ve got anything urgent to do, why don’t you head out and grab a bite to eat?”
“I have a few calls to make,” Brianne said.
“If they’re the calls we discussed earlier, they can wait until this afternoon. Take a break, Brianne. We don’t want you getting burned out, okay?” Valerie smiled. “Meet me in make-up in about forty-five minutes.”
Brianne returned her smile and nodded her head. She knew Valerie was only saying it because Callin was in earshot, but in that moment, she didn’t care. It would be nice to eat her lunch off her feet for once, and it would be nice to not feel like she was going to burn out at any given moment.
Brianne made her way along to the cafeteria, but at the last minute, she changed her mind and headed for her office. She had some snacks in her bag she could eat, and it would be nice to de-stress a little bit and eat in the quiet office while the other assistants were all out getting their lunch rather than sitting in the manic cafeteria.
She got settled down in her office, not switching on the computer, because she knew that if she did, she would be tempted to start reading emails and she knew herself well enough to know that if she read them, she would then feel like she might as well just reply to them and get that over and done with.
She ate a packet of chips and a small orange. She was debating whether to eat her chocolate bar or save it for later when the office door opened. Callin stepped in and smiled at her, and without a word, she got to her feet, crossed the floor, and kissed him. She kissed him hungrily, letting him feel how much she wanted him and then she pulled her face back from his and smiled.
“Shauna is probably in the cafeteria,” she said.
“And let’s hope she stays there,” Callin grinned. “I’m not here for Shauna. I’m here for you. I told you this wasn’t over.”
“Here?” Brianne said as Callin pulled her back into his arms.
“Here,” he repeated. “And then anywhere else you want it.”
He ran his lips lightly over hers, making them tingle and crave a firmer touch. Instead of kissing her harder, Callin pulled his face back from hers for a moment.
“I know this isn’t the best timing with the long days and everything, but I want you to know this is about much more than just sex for me, Brianne. When I think of my future, I see you in it,” Callin said.
He did kiss her then, hard and passionately, before she had a chance to reply to his statement. She didn’t know what she would have said to such a thing anyway, but she knew how she felt about it. His words made her feel warm inside, because despite the bad timing and her fear of Valerie, when she thought of her future, she saw him in it too.
Callin pulled his mouth away from Brianne’s and turned her in his arms. He pulled her back against him, her back to his front, and kissed her neck. His hands roamed over the front of her body, setting her soul on fire and making her clit throb with need. He moved his hands down and opened her jeans, pushing them down her thighs. He came back for her panties, pushing those away too.
His hand came back up, his fingernails trailing over Brianne’s thighs and making her skin tingle with electricity. He reached her pussy and pushed his fingers inside of her lips, finding her clit and working it. Brianne put her head back, resting it on Callin’s shoulder as her clit responded to his touch. His touch was electric, sending pulses of desire through her body, lighting her up and awakening her senses.
Brianne bit her lip to stop herself from moaning, aware that she was in the office and definitely not wanting to draw attention to herself right now. Callin began to move, walking Brianne back toward her desk. His fingers didn’t stop working her as they walked, and Brianne was relieved when they reached the desk and she had something solid in front of her. Her legs had turned to jelly and she had been almost afraid she wouldn’t make it this far.
She felt the desk pressing against the tops of her thighs as she came, biting on her lip again. Her body shook as her orgasm flooded through her. She stiffened against Callin and he placed his hand on her stomach, stopping her from falling. A quiet moan escaped her lips, though she tried desperately to keep it in.
As her orgasm receded, it left her feeling warm and sated, yet also hungry for more. When Callin moved his hands back up her body and gently pushed on her shoulders, she knew exactly what he wanted, and she was only too happy to oblige him. She let him push her forwards until she was bent over her desk. She could feel the cool wood against her skin and her hard nipples. She side-stepped with one leg as far as her jeans would allow her to, wanting to open herself right up for Callin to fill her up.
Brianne heard a rustling sound from behind her, and then Callin’s hands were on her hips and she felt
