Colby moaned.
Liam sat back on his haunches and rolled on the condom. He stared at the naked woman lying in his bed, squirming. Her eyes were closed, and her face was full of passion.
Colby’s legs parted wider. Her hand began to snake down her body, searching for relief. She was just about to touch herself to ease the throbbing when Liam pushed her hand away. “Liam, I need,” she whispered breathlessly.
Her sex glistened, slick, swollen, and waiting. Colby was a vision. It was a passing thought, but Liam wouldn’t mind waking up like this every morning. His own voice was hoarse. “Let me handle this.” Fully sheathed, he gripped her by the hips, pulling her toward him. Her ass butted up against his thighs. He hooked her legs by the knees and threw them over his shoulders. Taking his cock in his hand, he guided it up the fleshy part of her folds.
They both moaned.
Liam reversed the motion. Slowly, he slid down her slick folds, torturing himself in the process. He felt like a teenager new to sex. Between Colby rotating her hips trying to get him to fuck her, and his lack of control, Liam surged forward. Her pussy clamped down on him, and her slick heat was his undoing. He lost it, pounding hard into her body.
Colby grabbed handfuls of bedding, crushing the sheets between her fingers as her head thrashed from side to side. She bit her lower lip in pure pleasure.
Liam knew just how to hit the right spot.
Breathing heavy, he thrust hard over and over.
Colby was on the verge of another orgasm. In the past, those had been hard to come by, but not with Liam. “Liam . . . I . . . oh shit!” She couldn’t catch her breath.
“I know, baby. I feel you.” Liam increased his pace.
Colby screamed out his name as her body exploded.
Liam wasn’t far behind. Seconds later, he followed with his on release. “Fuuuuuuuuck!” He collapsed on top of Colby.
Both their hearts were racing.
Absentmindedly, Colby ran her hands up and down his back, which was covered in sweat. Liam was still inside her. He’d just come but was still semihard. This shit is crazy, he thought.
It took a few moments, but eventually, their breathing slowed, and he pulled out. Colby moaned contentedly. He didn’t want to move. He just wanted to touch and kiss her all day. The real world would crash down upon them soon enough, but for now, Liam wanted to shut everything out and enjoy this time for as long as he could.
Colby felt lighthearted. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d had that feeling. She giggled. “Hey, big guy, you’re crushing me.” He wasn’t, but Liam was heavy.
He rolled off but kept Colby close, wrapping her up in his arms. She sighed contentedly as she laid her head on his chest and drew imaginary circles across it. Colby lay quietly for a minute, basking in the afterglow of making love before her thoughts intruded on their makeshift haven. “This probably wasn’t a good idea.”
Damn. Not now. It’s too soon. Liam wasn’t ready. He didn’t want to deal with the reality of their situation. Of course, Colby was right. Sleeping with her was a bad idea, but he was so damn drawn to her. And to his surprise, it wasn’t just about the sex. Never in his life did he actually want to cuddle after his body was satisfied. He lifted her hand and laced it with his. “What happens between us is nobody’s business.”
Colby raised on her elbow, pulling the sheet with her. “True, but this isn’t realistic.”
“I want to spend some time figuring out whatever this is.” They had a connection. One he had never experienced before.
“I’m not sure how we do that. Tell me? Tell me, and I’ll go along with the plan.” What was supposed to be a plan to eliminate the sexual tension between them was backfiring big time.
“We just do it,” Liam said matter-of-factly.
“That’s not a plan, and it’s easy for you to say.”
“Yeah. It is. It’s easy because we’re good together,” Liam agreed.
“Would you feel the same way if this was one of your employees sleeping with a subordinate?” she asked.
“That’s different.”
“No, it’s not,” she countered.
“You don’t work for me,” Liam said stubbornly. He ran a frustrated hand over his face, then reached out to cup her cheek. “I want to explore us.”
Neither of them said anything for long moments. Colby would love to explore a relationship with Liam but how? Colby had to make Liam understand. “I wish . . .” Her voice trailed off. It softened when she spoke again. “I could lose everything. The stakes are so much higher for me.”
Liam couldn’t argue. The stakes were higher for her, and he couldn’t think of one damn argument to counter it. Slowly, his arm lowered. “I’ve never walked away from anything I’ve wanted in my life, and I want you.”
Colby’s eyes pleaded with his. “I’m drawn to you like I’ve never been drawn to anyone too, but on this, walking away is the only thing we can do.” So much for Lila’s stupid plan.
Liam wasn’t sure he could. They’d both already tried to fight their attraction and still ended up in bed together. Now that they’d been together, it was going to be next to impossible. “What you’re asking is for me to pretend that we never had the best sex of our lives? To act like what’s happening between us isn’t happening?”
Colby didn’t respond because it was clear from the look on her face that was exactly what she expected. Sadly, Colby glanced away. She couldn’t hold his gaze.
Liam took a finger and placed it underneath her chin, turning her back toward him. “What you’re telling me is that all we have is now?” Liam stared into her eyes.
Colby whispered, “It’s all I’m able to give.”
Liam was not ready to accept that, but he didn’t have a good enough argument, yet. Instead, he
