That roaming mouth of his moves over mine like an echo of something that could turn deeper. The whisper of a touch is barely noticeable until he gets to the edge of my jaw. His warm lips caress over the soft line and down the slope of my neck until I’m shuddering against him for a whole other reason than I was a moment ago.
My pulse hammers in my ears. “Ryth,” I groan uncontrollably. Tingles of electricity skirt over every inch of exposed skin.
Son of a bitch, this man is hung.
Did I mention the deadly mafia man is naked? I think I did. And dripping water all over his hardwood floors and me. I could hook my legs around him and we could both turn this awkward situation into a fun time.
Lord, give me strength not to look down again.
But that’s me getting ahead of myself again. I’m not this reckless but I’ve had a huge crush on this man and his partners since the first day my brother told me about them. That was four years ago.
If I’m lucky, Ryth will ask me to clean all this water up. That way I can have a good reason for being in his room when I shouldn’t even be past the third floor of the high-rise, much less the locked penthouse with exclusive access. Something I do not have with my borrowed employee keycard. But I didn’t make it into adulthood living in a shitty orphanage being meek and too scared to take what I want. I break rules and push boundaries every damn day of my life.
Today is no different. I’m here to find my brother. Lucky for me the usual lady for this job called in sick. Like I kindly asked her to do. It took a little bribery and some hard-earned money, but she agreed to lend me her uniform and her keycard for one day. The exclusive key for the private elevator to the penthouse was all on me. I wonder if these men know how easy it was to get access to their ritzy kingdom?
I’m guessing this one does now.
The substantial weight pressing on the dangerous end of the weapon tells me my luck is about to run out. I knew it would happen sooner or later, but I’d hoped I had a few more hours to find more evidence that this man and his two partners know where to find my brother. Or where to find his grave marker. I told Wolfe this dark world of crime and killing would catch up to him. But he didn’t believe me.
“Are you ready to stop with the lies, pussy cat? Tell me what you are really doing in my fucking room.”
That name makes me want to sink knives into his flesh. I latch onto my control and shove down my irritation. “Filling in for a friend,” I answer just like I practiced on the elevator ride up about twenty-five minutes ago.
“She called in sick, so here I am. Filling in.” Stick as close to the truth as possible. There’s no way this man or his partners know who I am.
“This friend. Didn’t she tell you my room is off-limits? No one enters. Not to clean, not to polish, or organize. No one,” he bites out in a dark, husked tone that has me shivering.
I huff. “No wonder you were screwing your own hand then.” The words are out of my mouth too fast to stop them.
His head falls back and the roar of laughter from him is booming. It vibrates every fiber of my being with its power.
Electric black eyes find mine again and this time the lethal edge to his glare morphs into one a fraction less deadly. He puts space between our bodies. Enough to where I can’t feel the hard length of his cock pressing against me anymore.
My mind shutters like a camera capturing the before and after feel for my bank of memories.
Between one breath and the next, he’s back and so is his all-consuming heat and the evidence of his complete arousal.
I want to pull away when stubble scraps over my cheek when he leans in close, but I can’t help it. The heat of his body sinks in and makes me horny. At first, I think it’s him breathing heavily but when the badass mafia man practically bends his body overtop mine, I discover the truth. It’s me doing the panting and him doing the hard staring at the crazy lady in his room with her panties soaked and nipples breaking the laws of physics trying to tear through the confinements of my uniform.
His free hand takes the one I have wrapped around his wrist and gives me something else to hold on to. “My God!”
Hard silk-covered steel slips over my palm and it is only instinct that has my fingers curling around his hard cock. I swear I don’t mean to do it.
“Since you’re here and know my name, you might as well help with my problem.” The promise of pleasure and pain rolls off his lips. He cocks his head to the side and considers me for a long moment all the while pumping his hips into my hand. Pre-cum wets my fingers and if he were to throw me on the bed right this second with that hungry look in his eyes, I would do whatever he wants. Judge me all you want.
He moves into me slowly at first. “Argh, you’re fucking perfect. I’m going to love punishing you.” The blade is replaced with the grip of his hand wrapping around my throat while the tip of the knife is used to lower the small zipper of my uniform—a white, one-piece zip-up dress that fits perfectly over my leather skirt and thin white sweater.
Oh, shit. My phone. I have it tucked into the side of my bra. He’ll just think it’s a phone. No harm, I remind myself.
Since I am pinned to the wall not only by his size but also by the hand at my throat, I can’t do much more than look on as he eases the clasp of my zipper down. His actions stun me into silence for a minute until my brain clicks on, but not until he has the front of my uniform splitting wide open and my deep cleavage on full display.
His grip on my throat tightens and my eyes swing to his. Intense pleasure stares back at me. I think he likes seeing me helpless.
“Tell me how you got in here, pussy cat, or we take this up a notch. I have all night to get what I want from you.”
Take this up a notch? As in not being able to breathe territory? I can fight, shove him off me, but something tells me I will not be farther than his bedroom door before I am right back to where I started—his captive.
“Not lying!” I fish out the nondescript black keycard from my tiny pocket that allows the elevator access to the penthouse level and hold it up.
