Chapter 5 The First Denial
A week passed as Wyatt and Eve developed a routine. In the morning, they'd shower and screw. After, he'd make sure she had enough clothes on to be considered decent. She tended to strip if she grew frustrated. Wyatt found himself supremely proud of her progress.
As he woke next to her, he relished the feeling of peace only she ever seemed to bring him. His unruly hair stuck up like an eighties extra in a horror film while gently, he extracted himself. Free at last, he watched her steady breathing with awe.
I don't know how I got so lucky, but I'll enjoy it for as long as it lasts.
As he lumbered to the bathroom, she stirred. Silently she padded after him and snaked her arms around his waist as he relieved himself. "Good Morning, Wyatt."
"Why hello, lovely. How did you sleep?" He sighed as she trailed her hand down his stomach. Leaning forward, he set the toilet lid down and flushed. As she turned him, he kissed her on the brow.
"Not well. Someone went to sleep before I ran out of energy." Eve nipped at his neck, delighting in the low murmur building in his throat. "You keep saying routines are important."
Chuckling, he lifted her into a tender kiss. "You're insatiable but as tempting as you are -- I have other plans for your vigor today." She shot him a pouty look as he ushered her into the bedroom to dress.
"What does insatiable mean? Anyway, you know I'm capable of both," she grumbled as she threw on tights and a sports bra, her version of formal wear.
"Yes, you've convinced me enough for a lifetime," Wyatt grinned as he threw on his lab coat. "Insatiable means you can never have enough of something. In your case, sex. I want you to blow the board members out of the water. Consider it an incentive to do your best."
Eve walked up and, without preamble, grabbed his bait and tackle. "I won't be so feisty if you satisfy me now," she teased as she felt him rising to the occasion.
"I will do whatever you want, as many times as you want, when we get back." He ran a finger from the middle of her spine down to her honey pot to elaborate. Feeling her tremble beneath his fingertips, he backed away while he had her distracted.
Amber eyes shot open, centering on Wyatt. "That's not fair," she groaned but accepted temporary defeat. "Let's go already. You know I'm not patient." Crossing her arms, she softened at the look in his eyes.
He took her hand, and she calmed with his touch as they left the room together. "We've focused on your mental education thus far. Today, we're going to measure your physical abilities."
"Hm, interesting," she grinned. "There might be a lesson I like other than sex."
"That would be a first," he joked as Eve lightly smacked him. A few moments later, he stopped walking abruptly. "I'm going to leave you here with Mr. Wall," he gestured to the man that had blocked his entrance the other day, "another scientist will administer the tests. I have a meeting with Director Stone."
"It's Mr. Steele to you," the giant grumbled.
Ignoring the other man, Eve wrapped herself around Wyatt in a soul-shattering kiss. "Hurry back. Oh, and save your energy. You're going to need it," she promised, biting her lip as he disentangled himself.
On his way to the waiting room, his head swarmed with images of Eve in compromising positions. He shook himself violently and ducked into the nearest bathroom to conceal his boner prominently on display. Tucking himself up into his waistband, he washed his hands for a quick breather.
An hour of waiting later, Wyatt strolled into the conference room and took the same seat as before. "Director," he nodded in respect. "What can I do for you?"
"We have accessed your progress with Eve and have concluded that you no longer need to share quarters with her. Starting immediately, you will move down the hall, meeting with her only for her lessons." Susan gave Dr. Thornton a cursory glance. When she saw his mouth hanging open, she put her tablet down with a look of disappointment. "You had to be expecting this."
Sighing, he carefully raised his gaze to meet hers.
It's like looking into the eyes of a shark! One wrong move and she'll shred me.
"I understand, but I should point out that Eve won't cooperate unless I continue sleeping with her. I know it sounds ridiculous, but do me a favor and watch our first meeting."
"Why would I do such a thing. I don't need to see proof of your sexual prowess Dr. Thornton." Disgust flickered across her face at the mere mention of it.
Wyatt shook his head. "I'm not asking you to watch that, Director. Eve is high energy and only does something if she wants to, or I ask her. I'm trying to tell you I have never once initiated sex with Eve. I realize I've been unprofessional, but I challenge you to find another man that could resist her."
