She didn’t look athis reflection as they walked on. The metal doors closed.
Silence rang out.
She took a deepbreath, trying to calm her nerves. She held her shoes in her hand and waited.
The elevator doorsopened up and she stepped out, waiting for him to open the door.
Once inside, sheput the shoes down and was about to leave when Gabriel grabbed her and pressedher against the closed door.
He tilted her headup and she stared into his eyes. His body so close and she liked it.
She waited.
“What the fuck isgoing on?” he asked.
“Nothing.”
“No?” His handwent to her hip. “Nothing is going on in that head of yours?”
“I’m tired. I wantto go to bed.”
“Do you?” heasked.
“What else would Iwant to do?”
His hand moveddown and she gasped as he cupped her between the thighs. His touch sent a waveof need flooding every single part of her body. She licked her lips. His palmcrushed against her clit and she closed her eyes,biting her lip.
“You liked whatyou saw, didn’t you?” he asked. “You like seeing the men lose control, of beingat the mercy of that woman.”
“I don’t know whatyou’re talking about,” she said.
He pushed againand fire shot through her body. Within the next second, his lips were on hers,kissing her hard, biting her lip. She wrapped her arms around him, but hesuddenly grabbed her wrists and pressed them above her head. “You don’t get totouch until you’ve answered my question.”
“I don’t have totell you a goddamn thing,” she said, wriggling in his hold.
He held both ofher hands in only one of his and he skimmed the other down her arm, going toher breast. He circled the nipple. “No? But your body, it’s telling me all itwants to. Your body speaks when your lips tell lies.” He cupped her breast,kneading the flesh. He didn’t linger too long. That same hand traveled downpast her stomach, going between her thighs andtouching her pussy.
She cried out.
He stopped, movinghis hand to the slit down one side of her dress, then he suddenly cupped herthrough the fabric of her panties.
“Soaking wet, justwhat I expected to find.”
She could tell himto stop, to get off. The words failed to form. She didn’t want him to stop.This control, this dance they were doing, she wanted to see how far he waswilling to go. What he’d do to her.
He pushed herpanties to one side and then his finger glided through her slit, stroking overher clit.
“So wet. I betyou’ve never had a real man touch you. Show you what you can do with thisbody,” he said.
He didn’t stopthere and she still hadn’t asked him to stop. What the hell was wrong with her?
Gabriel moved downto her entrance and she cried out when he pushed a single finger within hercore. “Fuck, you’re tight. It just goes to show no manhas used your body the way it should be.” He growled against her ear, bringinghis fingers back toward her clit, stroking her. Sheopened her mouth to cry out in pleasure. “Do you want me to stop?”
She whimpered. Nowhe was putting the decision in her hands and she didn’t think she could handleany more.
Just as she wasabout to tell him to keep on touching her, she heard movement and it wasn’tthem.
Rhianna.
Common senseprevailed and she pulled out of his arms quickly.
He didn’t stopher.
Within seconds,Rhianna was in the hallway. “Have you two only just got in?” She yawned,rubbing at her face.
“It was a longnight. I’m so tired.” Shaken, aroused, needy, she managed to brush past herfriend with just a kiss to the cheek. She had to make her escape.
All of these years,she’d promised Rhianna she’d never fall for her brother or be caught anywherenear him. She wasn’t about to start now.
Chapter Four
One week later
Work had keptGabriel busy.
He’d sent his mento take Claire to work and he’d purposely avoided coming into contact with her.Tony had upheld his end of the bargain and according to his sister, Claire wasnow looking for a place to live.
The money Tony hadwouldn’t be enough for Claire to buy herself a nice place. He’d gotten thefinal figure from his men and he didn’t like it.
On Monday, hissister was due to go away with one of the many charities she was helping, whichmeant he and Claire would be alone. He’d already called Casey and told her togive Claire the night off.
No woman ever gotunder his skin and he couldn’t deny that his thoughts were entirely dominatedwith one woman. No other woman would do, not that he’d tried anyone else. Theonly person he wanted was Claire, and he was going to have her.
Claire wanted outof his apartment and it was going to take some time before she saved up enough,and so he intended to proposition her. She’d been avoiding him and as he madehis way back to his apartment at five o’clock with plenty of time to catch her,the anticipation made his cock ache.
Tonight, he wasgoing to have her, no questions asked. He’d felt how aroused she was at thetouch of his hands. He intended to show Claire exactly what she’d been missing.To make sure Claire stuck around while Rhianna was off helping people, he’dtold his sister a couple of lies.
The first, hewasn’t going to be at the apartment for a couple of days himself as he hadbusiness to attend to, and he’d make sure Claire was protected with some of hismen.
He had nowhere tobe, and he intended to be the one protecting, but also spreading that prettyass and showing her what a good fucking was all about.
Entering his apartment,he closed the door quietly, locking it. Music played, some kind of rock song. Hewasn’t big on identifying songs or what was popular. Rounding the kitchen, hecame to a stop when he saw Claire in her underwear, dancing.
She had a nicepair of juicy thighs, rounded hips, a full ass, and all he needed was for herto turn around and he’d get to see those tits as well. She was a curvy womanall around and just watching her now, he wanted to spread her across
