“Shall we explore this together? Tell me I’m not the only one who feels this charge between us. Tell me I’m not crazy,” he said, almost pleading. He wrapped his hand around my arm, and my skin tingled from the contact.
He tightened a little when I still hadn’t answered, so I nodded. “Yes. I feel it too.”
“Will you let me touch you, Lily?” he asked. He bent down until his lips were mere millimeters away from my ear. “Will you let me make you come?”
My thighs clenched together, and I felt light-headed. But I didn’t want him to take away my tightly held control. My chin jutted out in a stubborn tilt. “And if I say no? What will you do to me then, Mr. Anderson?” I emphasized his name as I spoke.
He watched me for a quiet moment or two. “Then you’ll walk out of here, get back to your job, and I will leave you alone until you give me your consent. What we do or don’t do will have no bearing on your job. I do hope you realize that, and if it makes you feel better, I can have my lawyer draft up an agreement looking out for your best interests.”
He said it so matter-of-factly, I didn’t know what more I could say. And I knew he was serious. I knew that if I said no, he would let me go back to my job, and I wouldn’t have to worry about his advances toward me ever again.
So then why wasn’t I saying it? Why didn’t I walk out of his office without a backward glance? Why couldn’t I be one of those women who was strong enough to walk away from a man like Dereck Anderson? A man who had the power to break my heart.
Because I knew, before this—whatever this was—even started, that I wouldn’t be walking away from him with my heart intact.
Never had I responded so strongly to another man before. A big part of me was scared of all these wonderful, albeit foreign feelings he was able to evoke from me, but another part was thrilled.
I could still feel the pounding between my legs that told me I was aroused just from being in close proximity to him. And I wasn’t the only one affected. A glance down told me Dereck was sporting a pretty impressive erection.
I blushed and looked back up to meet his knowing forest-green eyes.
I wasn’t even aware that I had nodded until he smiled and picked me up in his arms.
I went willingly, my skin suddenly feeling too hot.
He brought me to the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. Then he turned me around, taking my body in, his eyes pausing on my breasts. I looked down too, and saw my nipples poking out through my shirt.
With a groan, he plucked at them. My knees grew weak, and I held on to his shoulders when he cupped my breasts in his large hands and squeezed harder than I had ever done to myself.
It hurt, but in the best way possible.
I bit my lips to keep from crying out in intense pleasure while he looked at me, a world of fascination in those bright eyes of his. It was as if he couldn’t believe I was real.
I didn’t know it would feel like this, but having him touch me so intimately was already driving me insane. I couldn’t imagine him touching me without the barrier of my clothes in the way.
As if he read my thoughts, he began to unbutton the pink blouse I had on until he got to the last one and pushed the defenseless fabric out of the way, baring my naked upper body to him for the first time.
My nipples tightened from his gaze alone. “No bra?” he asked. I shook my head no. “Oh, baby. You’re trying to drive me out of my mind.” And then he covered an aching tip with his mouth, and I suddenly lost the ability to speak.
When he added in the bite of his teeth, I grew desperate.
“Dereck, please.”
“Please what?” he asked.
I shook my head, not sure exactly what I was asking him.
I didn’t need to direct him though. He knew just what I needed when he tugged on the black skirt I wore, along with everything else, from my black panty hose to my black thong, and let them fall carelessly to the ground, where they laid in a messy heap.
Dereck help me step out of them. Without my heels on, he was even taller than me. So much bigger. So much more intimidating.
He moved back a little and took in the sight of me. Suddenly self-conscious, I covered my breasts. But that just brought his gaze to my aching pussy, and somehow that felt much more dangerous.
He stalked toward me, and suddenly his lips were on mine.
I was so surprised that I stood frozen, until I felt something wet touch my bottom lip.
It was his tongue, begging for entrance. Tentatively, I opened my mouth, and he was there, the erotic slide of his tongue was suddenly too much. I was feeling too much, and before I knew what was happening, my thighs quivered, and the swollen flesh between my legs shook and I came.
He continued to kiss me, and when I felt his probing fingers between my thighs, I startled, still sensitive from my first orgasm.
Dereck pulled back and looked at me, a frown marring his face.
He took in my flushed face, and then he was smiling, a satisfied smile. “Baby. Did you just come from my kiss alone?”
I nodded, mortified, though I wasn’t sure what for, considering I was standing in the man’s office without a stitch of clothing on.
“God, you’re so responsive. It’s like you were made just for me.”
He wrapped one arm around my lower back, and he kissed me as he pulled me in close to him, until I could feel his erection against my stomach.
Oh my God.
He kissed
