At the idea of him even trying, I pick up my rhythm and it turns punishing. She feels so fucking good.
“This cock is tired of not being where it belongs,” I tell her, kissing her over and over. “I don’t know how much longer I can last before I don’t let you go, before I keep you.”
She stops making sounds, she stops responding. She goes still.
“Keep you with me always, making all your dreams come true, making you fall so madly in love with me you’ll never wanna leave.” I hold her face as I thrust in again and again, but her eyes are closed now.
“Chloe. Eyes!” I snap. “No hiding from me.” She’ll soon figure this out, even if it has to be the hard way. “He will never make you feel like this. He will never put in an ounce of effort above and beyond what he feels he has to do whereas I’ll go all in to give you whatever you want, as much as you want. Because why, Chloe? I want you. The more I have of you, the more I want.”
The way we look at one another, her expression stark, raw, her lips looking swollen, her eyes glassy, I know I’ll never grow tired of being inside her while she comes, I’ll never grow bored of exploring the facets in these light blue irises as she looks at me, while she watches me come.
I’m coming, and she whispers, “I hate you.”
She doesn’t.
“I… want you to l-leave me alone,” she rasps, eyes closing as she tries to catch her breath.
“That’s a lie,” I accuse, then roll off, not happy about the lack of space on this couch for basking in the afterglow. Though she doesn’t seem interested in that part at the moment as she curls up into a ball and stares at nothing while I shove my cock back into my suit pants and zip up.
I lick my lips. “Damn, you taste good.” I caress her hip. “There’s a bathroom right there if you need it.”
Without looking at me, she gets up and the skirt falls back into place. She holds her blouse closed as she disappears into the small bathroom. She locks the door.
When she steps out, I’m at the conference table, opening my soup.
“My underwear, please.” She holds her hand out.
I clap her palm and catch her hand, pulling her over until she stumbles, landing on my lap.
“Derek,” she grumbles.
I rub my nose along hers, “They’re mine now.” I dip, then lift my spoon and hold it in her direction.
“Eat.”
She shakes her head.
“I’m sacrificing a wonton here for you, baby. C’mon. That’s a gift and you know it.” I move the spoon closer to her mouth.
“Don’t ruin this soup for me, stalker.”
“Eat the wonton, bunny. Eat the wonton or we’re going to Vegas where you’ll marry me.”
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
“Is that a dare?” I ask.
She opens her mouth and I push the spoon in. She nibbles half of the wonton daintily.
I finish the other half and then kiss her neck, laughing.
“I need my underwear, please,” she says.
“What underwear?” I ask, and lift the spoon again. “Have some of this broth.”
She pulls away. “Seriously!”
“I’m completely serious. I’m gonna jack off with those later.” I take another spoonful of soup. After swallowing, I gesture to the empty chair across the table from me. “Sit. Eat.”
Chloe sits across from me and stares down at her leather portfolio.
“Plenty more ticks for the sexy bucket list today, hey?” I wipe my mouth with a napkin.
“The sexy bucket list no longer exists,” Chloe states snottily.
“What do you mean?” I ask.
“Have a look,” she challenges, gesturing toward my computer with a smug look on her face.
“That sass on your face makes me want to take you over my knee and spank your little ass before I fuck it,” I state as I get up and move behind my desk, putting furniture between us for a moment as I rein in my reaction.
“That’s become my to-do list, Chloe. Anything I’ve claimed as mine, I’m warning you… do not dare steal it from me. Steal from a Steele and you’ll lose much more than you took.”
She gives me a sour look filled with fake bravado. “There’s nothing to do with me that’s yours. I have to actually give it to you for it to be yours. I’ve given you nothing but a one-night hall pass. You used it already.”
“Good point. I might have to remedy this.”
She’s going to give me everything. Soon.
Fire blazes in her pretty blue eyes and so does something else. I’m not sure what label to give it.
“Derek, I’m done here unless you have any actual Cavalier-related requests. I’ll tell my boss we met, had lunch, and it was all very casual. That you told me you’re looking forward to seeing how things go for the next three months and then you’ll let us know how we’re doing.”
