I snuggle in next to him. “But it is so well deserved. You are going to do so well in that position. I’m so excited that thingsturned out the way they did. You know what that means now, vampire?”
He smirks. “I have no doubt you’re going to tell me.”
“It means that now we don’t have to keep our relationship secret. I won’t report to you.” All of a sudden it hits me. “Wait? It never crossed my mind before. Will you still be my boss?”
He grins.
My eyes narrow and my face falls. “Oh shit. How does that help us then? Now I’ve gone from fucking a vampire leader to fucking the equivalent of an underboss?”
The arrogant dark-hearted beast who’s managed to capture my heart laughs out loud. “Things are going to work themselves out. I’ve had a lot of time to contemplate this. You don’t think Descallia knows about us? If Lucianna knows about us, so does he. Not that she wouldn’t keep your confidence, but those two can communicate the same way we do. He knows, and he put us in those positions anyway. Stop worrying. Besides, I like the thought of being your boss. Think of the possibilities….”
“Ha! I’m not working for you, vampire. Not on your life. You’d probably have me bending over your desk at your beck and call or giving you a blow job under the desk.”
He laughs. “Let me let you in on a little secret. You agreed to be mine for a year. Now that we’re back in Chicago, I’m not going to let us waste any more time. And whether you work for me or not, it’s irrelevant. I’m still going to bend you over my desk, watch you give me a blow job from my desk, spank your little ass for disappearing again, and a whole lot more.” He slides a hand under my skirt and shifts my panties with a stroke of his finger, finds just the right spot and begins to stroke. “You my love, now have lost time to make up for.”
Mile after mile out of the city he teases my pussy but keeps me right on the edge without allowing me to come. The minute we’re back at his estate and inside the foyer, I launch myself,coat and all, right into his arms, wrapping my fingers in his hair as he catches me about the waist.
In one move he has me next to his chest, his arm beneath my thighs as he carries me upstairs and into our bed. Corvinus growls low as he kicks the door closed. “Now we celebrate our way. I can smell your arousal permeating the air.”
Chapter 20
Corvinus
Hours after waking, while she’s downstairs working out and I’m at my office desk, it’s hard to concentrate. I may have shrugged off the boss employee relationship a little too prematurely.
Ialwaysknew Embry was going to need to be put in the same position as Descallia and Lucianna were in the past. She was going to need to be put into a position of power at some point and need to make a hard decision in order to get into the warriors. After all the betrayal we’ve dealt with as a vampire community, we need to be able to trust our own.
After another hour of work, the same thing is still bothering me. I close my laptop and head upstairs to find Embry freshly showered, sitting cross-legged wearing a skimpy little shortie pajama set, and writing in her journal.
How this woman has come to mean so much to me in such a short time I’ll never know. I draw her eyes to my gaze without saying a word. “You look quite comfortable, love.”
Embry’s head tilts in that seductive little way. “That’s a good word. For the first time in a very long time, it just feels like I’m inthe right place, doing the right thing, with the right person.” She touches her heart. “It feels right.”
That it does, and for that very reason, I need to make sure everything is completely out in the open, above board and I haven’t assumed something. “Get dressed, love. We’re going to the club.”
Her eyes heat firing red around the periphery. “Give me two seconds to get dressed.”
I smirk. “Wear the little bitty sweater, a short skirt, no panties or bra. You won’t have them on long enough to care. Besides I want complete and unfettered access to your pussy all the way to the club.”
She pushes the silk bedding aside, and shifts onto her hands, crawling seductively on the bed giving me a beautiful view of the swell of her breasts peeking up from her lacy top. When she reaches the edge of the bed, she crooks a purple painted fingernail at me. “My turn first?” she asks.
“I close the distance, pushing a long strand of hair from her face, bending to capture her mouth with my own as she unzips my pants and takes my already hard cock out to play. Every stroke is like velvety warmth, teasing and taunting, but I’ll only let her be in charge for a short while. I hold her face, pressing to the back of her throat while she breathes through her nose, taking everything that I give. “You’re more than fucking perfect. But now, it’s time to go love.”
She smiles up at me and gives me a wink. “Just so I’m not the only one on edge for our ride to the club.”
I grin. “Don’t try topping from the bottom, love. It won’t end up the way you intend.”
Embry pretends to give me a pout but then in a blink of an eye is standing before me, dressed to kill in a tight purple sweater that exposes her navel ring, and a black mini skirt, her longsword hanging by her side, with strappy black sandals thatshe’s going to be wearing all night long no matter how many pieces of her clothes come off.
My eyebrow arches.
She gives me a wide smile. “I’m just practicing. I don’t intend to use my newly found witchy skills for everything.”
I draw her closer, cradling her ass cheeks in the palm of my hand. “Pity. It would be such fun to spank you for every little indiscretion.”
Her cheeks heat pink, just like the color her ass will be as I warm her up tonight. “Come love, I want to show you off to the world.” I don’t plan to wait until we get to the club to dance her around the floor. By the time my driver has pulled out of the grounds of the estate, I’ve ensured the privacy glass is in place and have my face buried in her pussy.
The club is pumpingwith a seductive beat. I place a protective hand on Embry’s back as we walk through the private entrance of the club. “Good evening,” the doorman says. “The guards have been doubled as you requested.” I don’t bother stopping on the first floor, guiding Embry past a few tables as we make our way to the lower level because both of us are more than primed to play.
