The answer was yes.

Yes, he had done Susan.

I shoved him away. “Why don’t you go get ‘in’ Susan.” I said.

“Was that her name?” He waved a confused hand as I slid from him and entered the women’s bathroom. Thankful the moment I rounded the divider.

Logan would never have the balls to walk in here. I was safe.

I leaned on the counter and blew a long breath. Splashing cool water on my cheeks and staring at my reflection as I willed myself not to cry.

He’s not worth it.

Once I knew I’d collected myself, I peered around the divider and saw no one was there.

Making a hasty path back to the office.

I rounded the doorway and met Porter’s permeating green gaze.

“You okay?” He queried.

“I’m fine.” I said. “You didn’t have to do that.”

But I was grateful he had. I was never sure how to handle it. But it was nice to hear someone sticking up for me.

At least I think that’s what he was doing.

“Anytime, Angel.”

Why was it that whenever he said my name, it sounded more like an endearment than a name.

  • Porter's Reward   Tortured

    How had things with Porter become so complicated in such a short time.I dropped my forehead into my hands and tried three times to read the same file before I gave up. Only looking up because Teresa was rushing in calling my name.She tossed a file on my desk and asked me a question.I couldn’t resist peering past her to get a look at Porter. Since I was looking up anyway.I found him peering at me from over the rim of his silver glasses. Sitting back in his chair with a file in his hands. But while I was looking at him, he met my glance and stroked an agile tongue from one corner of his mouth, along his upper lip to the otherside.Implying something was tasty.Me.I yipped and fumbled to pick up the file Teresa had tossed onto the desk. Trying multiple times because it had suddenly become so flat that it was nearly part of the desk’s surface. Finally managing to grip it just as Teresa’s head slowly began to rotate in Porter’s direction questioningly.I blurted some inundane question

    I gasped in outrage. “I’m not afraid of intimacy!”“Then it is just me?”“Not of you either!”“Then come up to the apartment and get on my cock again.” He invited with a wicked smile and hooded eyes.“Porter!”“Kane.”I floundered. Hitting the unlock button and bailing out of the car door, before he could say anything more. I stalked into the Lobby.***“Hello, Miss.” Josh greeted from behind the counter.“Uh-oh…I know that look on a woman.” He remarked.My head whipped to eye him threateningly.He lifted his head in surrender.Porter came through the doors and was on my heels.“What did you do to her, Kane?” Josh taunted.Fucked her. I half-expected him to say.“Asked her if she’s a coward.” Porter called over my head. “She’s answering me as we speak.”My hands fisted with the urge to swat him. Not missing that he implied I was running away.I got in the elevator and rounded as he stepped in next to me.He turned to stand shoulder to shoulder with me. Grinning down at me.“What?” I s

  • Porter's Reward   Who He Is

    It was two months into my second year at Andrias High School and I knew all the usual groups. Nodding to a few as I passed them. Refraining from eye contact with those I favored less.My friends Trudy and Janine were tight to my side as I walked down the center of the hall. It wasn’t unusual for boys to stare. My blonde hair reached to the bottom of my ass.Which was about where my cream-colored skirt ended.I wore a belly baring t-shirt with a ‘v’ cut. My usual ruby lipstick brightening my features and drawing more than one intrigued eye.But I was all eyes for my off again/on again, Tommy who was one of the best players on the football team. And certainly my favorite.But Tommy had been playing hard to get lately.Though he always circled back to me.I passed him while he was leaned over a locker flirting with a girl that wasn’t me. One that’s too damn pretty!I walked by trying hard to ignore them as I went to my locker. Crouching down to drop some books in the bottom while my frie

  • Porter's Reward   K.P.

    My eyes narrowed on him. “That would explain why seven shots of tequila and you appear.”“Was it seven?” He questioned. “From across the room, looked more like nine.”Was it nine? I had no idea. I’d lost count after five.“Have you been watching me?”He shrugged. “Thought maybe someone should keep you two from wandering upstairs with a bad sort.”“Aren’t you the bad sort, Military Brat?”“Oh, I’m the worst sort.”I rolled my eyes Heavenward.***To my horror, Kat reached up a limp hand and dragged it down the side of his face. “You’re sure perty…”He flashed her that heart-stopping grin. Before drawling. “Well, thank you.”“You should really,” She stumbled on her high heel, and he caught her elbow to straighten her.“Should really…Really…” Her gaze fell before she looked up again. “Make her forget about Tommy.”She scrunched her lips and shook her head like confiding he was no good to K.P.“I could certainly do that.” He peered over her to make eye contact with me. “In about three min

    He dropped in on his side and closed the door. Twisting to rest against the driver’s side door to stare at me, waitingly. “What’s up, Cheers?”“Thank you for getting us home.” I blurted before I could overthink it.I should say thank you. It really was a kind gesture.“You’re welcome. But you could’ve said that to me tomorrow.” He said slowly.“I don’t want to talk to you in public.”“Oh...” He gave a burned whistle. “But you’ll talk to me alone and drunk in my dark car?”I hesitated, considering that. That does sound bad.“Well, it’s different if people see us.” I explained.Tommy won’t take it well.“Because Tommy might find out you’re not the pining ex-girlfriend he may secretly be hoping you are?”I frowned. Not liking that logic said that bluntly. “Something like that...”“So, why’d you come all the way out here then, Cheers?”Why did I?***“Because...” I stalled.He lifted a dark brow.“Ugh!” I groaned. Catching his hand and putting it on my knee. Giving him a long, pointed loo

  • Porter's Reward   Out Here

    I stepped outside and spotted K.P. leaning against his car. The passenger door already open, while he waited for me. Ankles crossed and on arm crossed over his belly while he twisted a toothpick between his lips.“Took ya long enough.” He rolled off the car to walk to the driver’s side.I climbed in and pulled the door closed. “Where are we going?”“You tell me.”“Go to the park on the far side of town.”“Whatever you say, Cheers.”We pulled up and I noticed that as usual it was abandoned.Everyone is at Jake’s party.I caught his hand and led him to a bypass at the far end of the park. I had him hoist me up and he warily climbed a few bricks to join me atop the retaining wall. Where he had to duck his head to walk beneath a few iron beams toward the center.“What is this place?”“I come here sometimes, to be alone.”“Interesting place.”When we got to the middle the wall dipped behind a pillar making a convenient hollow there that was invisible to people below.I caught his collar an

    That was not the last time that I snuck off to get some time with the military brat.The next time was in his bed while his dad and brother were on an outting.We met up at another party.K.P. had been watching me most of the evening.I sipped on a glass of coke and waited until my friends had left before I crooked a finger at him. Creeping toward the front door.He was out of the chair where he’d been sitting watching a group of guys play cards, hot on my heels as I went out the front door and around the side of the house.He caught up to me. “More?”I gave him a sideways look beneath lowered lashes that answered his question.He looked ahead, satisfied. “More it is. Told you I could give you more in three minutes then Tommy has in however long you were with him.”“Off and on for two years.”“Cute.” He dismissed.“Harsh.”“Needless to say, I’m less than interested in the guy, a girl I’m diddling is chasing after.”“I’m not really chasing after him. Not anymore.”“No?”I shrugged. “Do

  • Porter's Reward   Heard it All

    He’s going. I sat in the car staring at him as I processed that.My mouth went dry, and I felt tears springing into my eyes. I needed to change the subject. “Why weren’t you in the party?”“I got a feeling. I’ve got a knack for sensing when something is wrong. So, I waited across the street. When I saw the cop cars floating, I figured you’d end up in the middle of the mix. So, I waited for you.”He hadn’t stoop me up. He’d waited for me to come out to get me out of here. I was deeply touched by that.I doubted Tommy would’ve done such a thing.That night was more emotional than the others had been.I was more distant, and he kept casting me furtive looks.We’d gone to his house again.He’d kissed me silly and murmured those fateful words again as he laid me out on his bed. “For the next hour, Sweetheart, you’re mine.Then he’d fucked me stupid.But now, now things were different.He’s leaving.He’ll never say that to me again.He was sitting on the edge of the bed, pulling his shirt d

  • Porter's Reward   Disappointments

    “Well,” Nita slapped my desk. “My work is done.” She stood and rounded on Kane. “This one is going to cost you.” She pointed at him. He smiled fondly at her. “Slow barbecued ribs, I remember. Long as you make some of that potato salad.” She slapped his shoulder when she was next to him. “Of course.” She stretched sideways to give his cheek a light peck as though he were a brother before smoothly exiting the office. “She’s a pitbull.” I shook my head in wonder. “You should’ve seen her in the courtroom.” Kane shook his head in disbelief. Settling his suit jacket over his chest. “It was so brutal, I was uncomfortable for Logan.” “Well, I’m glad someone was. Because he certainly wasn’t.” He nodded grudgingly at that. “Well, he’ll have plenty of time to think about it, with his wages cut and sitting at home, trying to find other ways to access beautiful, capable, women.” He walked over to stand befor

  • Porter's Reward   Never Came

    I was standing next to my desk, not wanting to be sitting when Logan came in. I didn’t want him to catch me off-guard. I was as prepared as I could be for the awful confrontation. But Logan never came. Instead, I saw the legal team carrying boxes, escorting him down the hall like a flock of busy blackbirds. Chirping different things while he talked to them in a clipped, annoyed tone. With boxes? I watched them. Turning my head to follow their progress past the glass walls of my office. It was only a few minutes after that, while I was still standing there bemusedly, that Kane entered the office in his fine suit. But his mouth was tight and he looked a bit saddened. Nita’s face was unreadable. At least for me. I don’t know her well enough yet. “What happened?” I asked quickly. Afraid to move. Afraid something bad was going to happen. Kane stopped just inside the office. B

  • Porter's Reward   Cutthroat

    His warm weight was along my back. His legs molding my legs as he slid his erection along the crack of my ass. Stroking himself in the warm crease. Getting harder by the second. He swept one arm beneath my ribs to lift me slightly. The other was along the front of my chest, just below my neck. Holding me where I was while he kissed my ears and cheek. When he lowered enough to straighten his cock and slide it into my entrance it was that warm, stretching relief. The feeling of satiation that only he could offer. My body superheated. And he stroked into me. Holding me to him as though he intended to never let me go. Eventually his hands molded along my biceps so he could lean up. Holding me there while he angled in more deeply. “Ahh.” I cried in surprise, feeling the sudden depth of him touching me more deeply. He rolled his hips forward, testing his length in my channel. Finding the objecting barr

  • Porter's Reward   Court Tomorrow

    “You don’t have to go, you know?” “I do.” Kane said flatly. I said nothing. Unsure what to say. “It is absolutely about protecting you.” He read my thoughts. “But it’s more than that.” I waited. Intrigued. “The way he treats people in this office is deplorable. Threatening, groping, demeaning. Now woman deserves that.” For the first time, it dawned on me that he was right. I’m not the only one he sexually harassed. It was how Logan had often coaxed women to his bed. But not every woman in the Chase and Walker departments was a whore. So, how many could he have tried to bully into his bed. My eyes widened and my stomach got a little sick. Perhaps, I was to blame for that. My silence, for fear of Logan kicking me out of the company, might’ve exposed other woman to Logan’s shit treatment. Kane was reading my features. Something he was getting rather good at. “Don’t you dare

  • Porter's Reward   To the Core

    “To think, I once thought you…Safe.” I said ruefully. Safe…I was shaking my head at myself. How many times had I thought how silly that word was, in application to him? He lifted his head in surprise. “I am safe.” I searched his face. Sensing the severity in his meaning. “For you.” He vowed. “I will never hurt you, Angel. If you stay by my side, I’ll give you everything.” I nodded. Sensing the deep sincerity. As if he was now offering me everything he’d yearned to give me back then. “You were enough then too, Kane. You know that?” It was something that really needed saying. His brow furrowed. As if in doubt. I felt the immediate need to reassure him. As he would me. “When you were, K.P.” I explained. “You were enough. I was just too young and dumb to see it.” He laughed and dropped sideways over me. “Isn’t that the story of everyone’s life?”

  • Porter's Reward   A Beast

    I licked my lips but found this even harder to admit. He leaned over me, pushing that finger in further as he began to move it with his hips, simulating what he’d soon be doing to me. Now he could whisper into the shell of my ear. “All tied up and whimpering. Unable to stop me while I take you…” My back jerked upward and I nearly came, but he pulled that finger away. Making me growl in frustration and writhe furiously. But before the sound had even reached completion, he’d replaced that finger with his long pulsing member. Which was starving to intrude into my tight channel. Pulling my walls apart as it delved into my very center. Reminding me how powerful he was in this moment. How easy it would be for him to hurt me if he stretched just a little too far. He’s long enough to do it. He could destroy me. Hurt me irreparably. He could scratch me, bite me. Things I’d always feared Logan might try to do, every tim

  • Porter's Reward   Desire

    I almost couldn’t believe I’d admitted out loud. That I want to belong to him. I could imagine life with Kane being just what he’d shown me so far. Pleasant evenings in his blue jeans making dinner together, drinking sweet wines, going for drives in his fancy blue spider that smelled of leather and his woodsy cologne, even him going off to do what was needed at the Red Tar while I waited eagerly for him to return. Keeping his bed warm. Then waking to blearily watch him pull on his shorts to go for his run. Then falling back asleep until my alarm blared. Then rising and going to the kitchen to get my thermos, already full and warm and steaming with the fresh brew, he made me every morning. Walking into that office and seeing his handsome features across from me. Knowing he’s mine. And I’m his. That was getting me wet. All of it. I swallowed the lump in my throat. Watching his f

  • Porter's Reward   Yours

    My wrists strained at the bit of Velcro and buckles, wanting so badly to touch him. I was finding it incredibly hard to track all he was saying. “Wh-what do y-you want, Kane?” “You. No resistance, no distance. You. Bare, vulnerable.” He caught my breast and squeezed its shape in a sensual motion as he finished. “Mine.” He was watching my face intently. Parting his lips as I parted mine. Watching each nuance of my expression. His lips nearly against mine as I writhed and tipped my head back. Trying to escape the intensity of the situation in tiny increments. Both aroused and resistant to being so exposed. “Stop.” I laughed. He growled hungrily and dipped his head to kiss me. A deep, probing kiss. While he moved his finger in slow circles inside me. I moaned uninhibitedly and he swallowed the sound. Twirling my tongue, with his. A reflection of the motion his finger was doing. Stretching me and warming me. Making me moister by the minute as I ye

  • Porter's Reward   Sweet Offering

    I caught the stool and turned it. Pointing his knees at me. I swept my hair back into a ponytail and began lowering before him. He set the fork down and turned slightly to offer me more. His eyes riveted on me. His lips parted and I looked up, observing his face as I wrapped my lips around the knobbed tip of him. Letting my soft lips glide over the tip and take him fully into my cheek. Tucking my teeth and rubbing along the side of him with my tongue. He gave a long groan of pleasure. “Holy shit.” “You like that?” I lifted my head to whisper. “I fucking love it. More.” He caught my head and guided me back down to him. I obediently put my mouth back on him. Drawing him in further, until I felt him just brushing the back of my throat. The chair creaked as his ass flexed. Straining to push him deeper into me. “It’s so hot.” He panted in objection to the raging temperature combining with what I was doing to him. I c
