Page 64 of Love You Anyway

I’m breathless and heaving, but I want answers. “You own…the restaurant?”

“Yes.”

He doesn’t seem interested in talking about it, though, because a moment later, he lowers himself on top of me, and his lips return to mine. He kisses me hard, teeth digging into my bottom lip.

I reach up and pull his lip between my teeth and suck on it before letting him go. Leaning away, I ask again. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that it’s yours?”

Holding himself above me on his hands, Colin lets out a long sigh. “You really want to talk about this now?”

A part of me wants to pull him close and continue what he started, but a bigger part wants answers. It’s the piece of me that feels like this could be more than a temporary fling. The piece of me that has been feeling a pull toward Colin all day long and wanting to know him better.

“Kind of. You brought up something interesting right before you started kissing me. It’s hard not to want information.”

Sliding down my body, Colin stands between my legs, which are opened wide and dangling off the edge of the desk. Rubbing a hand over his face, he groans. “My own fault, I guess. I can’t just dangle a juicy fact in front of you and expect to kiss the thoughts from your mind.”

I prop myself up on my elbows and look at him. “You almost succeeded.” I still sound breathless, my heart racing in my chest. “I want both.”

He smiles. “I love that about you.”

And then my heart stops. Just for a beat before it starts thudding like a bass drum.

It’s just a crumb. Just a mention of the L-word in passing. Many other people have professed to love little things about me here and there. Friends lob little missives like that all the time.

But coming from the cerebral, brainy Colin who chooses his words carefully and is sparing in his praise, it feels like a nugget of gold has landed at my feet, and I can’t stop staring for fear it will vanish as quickly as it appeared.

Colin doesn’t seem moved by his admission because he keeps talking. “People need money for a lot of their projects like opening new restaurants or buying office buildings or helping startups, you know…start up. I have money. So I end up mucking around in a lot of different shit.”

He splays his hands out to the sides as though it’s enough of an explanation. In some ways, it is.

“Do you own a lot of other shit?”

“Some.” He gives me a wry smile. “Is that enough information to satisfy your brain for now so I can make you come on this desk?”

His directness makes me smile. He’s so direct and intentional when he speaks, and even if I don’t know what he has planned, I understand him well enough to know he has a plan. I also know it’s something I’m going to enjoy. A lot.

I nod, leaning back down on the desk as he pounces on me like a wolf. Licking his lips, Colin dives in and sucks the sensitive skin beneath my ear. I hear myself moan over his delicious breath against my ear. Then I feel him hard against my center, and I start to lose touch with all of my senses except touch.

Because damn, he feels so good.

His hands work the hem of my skirt up over my legs and pull my panties down, where they dangle from one of my feet. I fling them away and go to work on his zipper. Before I get very far, Colin pulls me up from the desk and flips me around.

My hips hit the edge of the desk, and I leaned forward to brace myself on my hands. From behind me, I hear the zip of his jeans and the rumple of fabric falling to the floor. Then his large, strong hands grip my waist and his hard length nudges between my legs.

I expect to feel him thrust once or twice and pound into me for a quickie before the next course.

Instead, he drops to his knees.

The cool air hits between my legs as he holds my skirt up around my hips. Then his tongue sweeps up along my inner thigh and finds my clit. I gasp when he closes his mouth over the sensitive flesh and sucks gently.

Then, not so gently…his tongue makes circles, and one finger slides inside. I can feel how wet I am for him as his breath hits my skin, and I shudder from the chill.

Every nerve ending feels so highly sensitized that it doesn’t take me long before my legs are quivering. My whole body lights up under his touch as he continues his ministrations, taking me higher.

“God, Colin…” I pant, not fully aware of anything except the feeling between my legs, which is so, so good that I cry out as he pushes me over the edge.

Then I’m falling through a cascade of light and dark and feeling and sensation. Trying to ground myself and feel everything about this moment at the same time.

That’s when Colin thrusts slowly inside me, replacing his fingers and his mouth with the weight and thickness of his cock. As he fills me, I moan again. This time, I’m joined by his own growl of satisfaction.
