Chapter Fourteen
“You know I’m not very good at following rules, right?” I stared down at Lauren, scarcely holding back from taking her lips between my teeth.
Instead, I smoothed my hands over her back, down to cup her ass. It was so fucking delicious. I couldn’t wait to sink my teeth into her, let alone my dick.
My hard-on dug into her belly, and I needed her.Now.
“Yeah.” She moaned as I ground against her, but she would not be deterred. She was stubborn, but I already knew that. “But these are nonnegotiable.”
“Mm. Nonnegotiable.” I stared at her breasts, buried my face in her neck, planting kisses all over her skin. “Sounds serious.”
She laughed, nearly squeezing my head between hers and her shoulder. But I pressed on, loving every second. Her being ticklish was an unexpected surprise, one I wouldn’t hesitate to use to my advantage.
“Hunter.” She was breathless, trying not to laugh, trying to push me away. “Stop.”
“All right. All right.” I backed away, hands in the air. “Let’s get this over with.”
I adjusted myself, then leaned my hip against the sofa. Fuck, she was gorgeous. And that lingerie…holy shit. When she’d stripped out of her dress, I’d nearly come in my pants. The black lacy bra, the matching panties, the garter belt. She was like something straight out of my fantasies—but better. So, so much better.
“First.” She held up a finger, and I tried to focus on what she was saying. “No lies.”
I crossed my arms over my chest, thinking this was easy. “No problem.”
“Second.” She ticked off another finger. “No feelings.”
Her words stung, but I did my best to conceal my emotions. For the first time, maybe ever, I wanted more. And here I was, faced with the prospect of a woman who most certainly didn’t. Still, I’d do anything to be with her. Even if that meant accepting only part of her.
“Is that all?” I stepped closer, eager to be done with rules so we could play.
“This is just sex,” she said, as if to reiterate rule number two. “And it won’t interfere with our business relationship.”
“Understood.” I stalked over to her. “But as long as you’re with me, you aren’t with anyone else.”
“With you?” she scoffed. “I think you’re getting a little ahead of yourself. Why don’t we just see how tonight goes.”
I brushed her hair over her shoulder, twisting so it wrapped it around my hand. I tugged gently, pulling her head back, baring her neck to me. Her smooth skin was so soft, so delicate, and I could see her pulse throbbing just beneath the surface. Racing, like my own.
“I know exactly how tonight is going to go. And I know what will happen after that.” My voice was gravelly.
I dragged my lips against her skin, enjoying the shudder of her exhale. She swallowed, her eyes rolling back in her head.Ma tigressewas going to be mine—and not just for the night.
Before she could say anything more, I slanted my mouth over hers, tugging her luscious lips between mine. She didn’t respond at first, her lips firmly closed. But then she was just as aggressive, returning the kiss with fire and fierceness, with bold, decisive strokes of her tongue. And just as I’d expected, she was trying to take the lead.
I smiled against her lips, backing her against the wall. We ground against each other, my cock aching to be free of its confines. I ran my hands all over her, wanting to memorize the feel of her skin, the slope of her breasts, the curve of her waist.
“First,” I said, knowing how much she enjoyed my filthy mouth. “I’m going to rub my cock against your slit, coating it in your juices until you’re panting.”
Shit, she was already nearly panting. The skin of her chest flushed with color, her nipples tight peaks against her lace.
I unhooked her bra, flinging it aside before cupping her breasts. They were full and heavy, the nipples dusky and taut with desire. Her luscious skin mixed with mine, and our bodies blurred together.
“I want to feel that tight pussy clench around my cock.” I caressed her skin, touching her everywhere. And still—it wasn’t enough. “I want to watch your face when I make you come—again,” I added, to remind her of just how good I’d made her feel.
Her head fell back against the wall, and she let out a moan that was equal parts pleasure and frustration. And when she met my eyes again, hers were full of desire. Full of nothing more than the raw, carnal drive to fuck.
The mood between us changed, the air swirling with promise and longing. A throbbing, surging need demanding satisfaction.
She licked her lips, and I tracked her movements, watching eagerly as she unfastened the buttons on my shirt, pushing it over my shoulders. My undershirt was next to come off, and she stared at my chest a moment, running her hands over my skin.
