He nodded when she stood before him with her breasts bared and her nipples taut from the air-conditioning.
Her bra joined the rest of her clothing. Next, she wiggled out of her underwear. Most of the time, her dates had pulled her clothes off with haste, but Rafe seemed to savor every moment of her undressing.
“Do you shave all the time?”
She didn’t need to ask whether he appreciated the small strip of hair or not. The approval gave his voice a roughened resonance. “Yes.” She was glad she did. “I like it. Would you mind if I didn’t?”
“Not at all. Whatever is comfortable for you. Women are exquisite, no matter their personal preference. Though I might request it of a sub just so she would be thinking of me during her grooming time.”
She wondered what it would be like to have a man so involved in decisions she’d always considered private.
“And your shoes. They’re sexy as hell, but I want you to be aware of how small you are compared to me.”
At five feet seven without her heels, she didn’t feel tiny next to many men. But once she was in front of him, in bare feet, several inches shorter and much more vulnerable, she was aware of his size and dominance.
Rafe eyed the desk again. “On second thought, do you have a conference room?”
“Down the hall, yes.”
“Bigger than this?”
“Quite a bit. It seats eight.”
“A better option, but I’ll leave the choice up to you. You can hop up on here. I rather like the idea that you will remember this evening every time you walk into the office. A bigger table may be a little more comfortable.”
She tipped her head to the side. “I’m not sure either will be comfortable.”
“After sixty seconds, you won’t even notice. You’ll be too busy begging me to allow you to come.”
He wrecked her nerves.
“A sample of my wicked intentions?”
Suddenly it was all too real, and she wanted what he had to offer.
“Ask for it.”
Her pulse stuttered, and her knees weakened. “I want… Yes.”
“Come to me, sweet Hope.” He pointed to a spot close to where he stood.
Knowing there was no going back, she hesitated for a moment. In a moment of madness, she looked at him. Panic seized her when she realized she was seeking reassurance from the man who had promised to redden her ass, arouse her, then deny her, punish her in her own workplace.
In his eyes, though, she read reassurance, a promise that she was safe. After a last nervous swallow, she did as he said. She took the three steps that brought her to him. The floor was cool against her skin, and she appreciated the stability when everything else swam with uncertainty.
“I appreciate your trust. I promise you, I will continue to earn it.”
She nodded, the sincerity in his words compelling her to believe him.
“Spread your legs, Hope.” As he spoke, he unknotted his tie, leaving the ends loose.
She did as he asked, and he held up his hand in front of her mouth. Though he didn’t give her any instructions, she sucked on his finger.
“So sexy.” He kept her gaze hostage as he extracted his finger, then trailed it down her cleavage, then lower still to outline her ribs, igniting a trail of damp heat over her skin.
Rafe skimmed the planes of her abdomen, then slid his hand between her thighs. She jerked as he brushed her clit. It had been so, so long since she’d had a man touch her this way. Until now, she hadn’t realized how desperately she’d missed it.
“You’re so delicate, Hope.”
Because she didn’t know what to expect, his touch was so much more intense than her own.
Several times, he slid back and forth, and she grabbed hold of his biceps for support. He pressed the small bundle of nerves, then backed off before teasing her again.
Her insides spiraled toward an orgasm. In a silent plea, she jerked her hips toward him.
Frustrating her, he stopped.
She sighed her disappointment. Her whole body was on fire and she needed him to extinguish the flames. She clamped her hand on his wrist, keeping his touch against her skin.
“No.” His refusal was quick and sharp. “I appreciate how responsive you are. Imagine how much you will enjoy it when I do allow you to come.”
