“Marshall and I have become fast friends.” She angled a look his way. “He’s a wonderful man.” They weren’t lies, but toeing the line of lying by omission. “I’m sure there are others who think the same and would love to be by Marshall’s side for the man he is.”
“Don’t bet on it. It’s an ugly truth you come across when you’re a Blackwood,” Marshall added from beside her. What he’d meant to say was when being a billionaire, but he didn’t need to say it. It was understood.
Shawn crossed to her and instead of offering his hand, he swooped her into a hug. “Welcome to the family, little sis. Glad to have you around,” he said, kissing her on the cheek before placing her down next to Marshall again, who promptly pulled her closer with a hand on her waist.
“Come on, you rowdy hooligans, the man has work to do and a wedding to plan.” Shawn grasped his brothers around the shoulders and aimed them toward the door. “See y’all in the morning.” Shawn winked at her again and this time she winked back with a wave.
“Nice to meet you, Juniper.” They each gave her one last glance before closing the door behind them.
Marshall leaned close to her ear. “What did I tell you? If they thought they had half the chance, you’d be carted away from me and I wouldn’t see you until you were round with one of their babies.”
She turned a wicked grin on Marshall. “Don’t think I’m not tempted. I kinda like the idea of the broody one. He’s cute,” she teased.
A hand came down on her ass and she yelped. “Only mine until we part ways.” His eyes turned dark and his expression was one of challenge. She craved the promises she saw in his eyes and the burn on her ass easing into a deeper ache had her fearing a darker addiction to his brand of sex than she could afford.
“Only yours,” she reassured him.
“Good. You don’t wanna fall for Shawn’s playboy charms, anyway. I’d have to kick his ass if you did. that would make birthdays and Christmas pretty fucking awkward, if you ask me.”
She gave him a side-eye and decided to poke the bear. “Jealous your fake fiancée might fall for the broody brother? Or, maybe I might like a set of twins?”
He didn’t answer. Not with words anyway. He’d hoisted her in the air. Warm, soft, and claiming. Marshall Blackwood’s lips captured hers and she took the kiss deeper, living in the moment, wanting more of everything he had to offer.
Silky soft. She’d wanted to bury her hands since their ride up in the elevator.
Marshall pulled back and their gazes locked. Air came in short supply and the room still turned though he’d gently placed her back on her feet.
Her whole body tightened at the feel of his cock nestled between her folds with only the soft, thin layer of her panties and his jeans between them.
She was ready to ride her cowboy.
“I need you inside me.” Every word came as a whisper and Marshall grinned like a man who loved proving a point.
“I’d say I got my answer.”
He let her down, holding her to him as she came to stand.
He took half a step back and she wanted to follow. Earlier she’d loved the way they molded together on their makeshift dance floor and the way they never fell out of sync. Right now, her heart said to take a leap of faith, that he would catch her, but her head said she was a paid-for-bride.
Caution lights blared to life. This wasn’t real. What she felt was all circumstance and not of the heart.
“I’ve seen that look before on a woman. What’s going on in that head of yours?” Gruff and low, his voice more than his words soothed a part of her that liked a man who knew what he wanted and went after it, no regrets. At least she hoped he didn’t regret it. Tomorrow she might, but right now everything felt so right.
“I can’t decide. Couch or desk.”
He took the guesswork out of everything.
Papers, pens, and mugs crashed to the carpeted floor.
He lifted and planted her ass on the edge of the desk, pushing her back against the hard wood.
“Wait.”
He stripped his shirt off to reveal hard plains of deeply tanned muscle that her tongue and body needed to lick and touch. With quick motions, he bundled up his shirt and put it behind her head.
“Get comfortable, baby, we’re going to be a while.”
Skirt around her waist, panties gone and once again she looked down the length of her body to see him pop the buckle of his belt and reveal his beautiful cock for her. With her slender legs parted and her body wide open for him to take, she looked on as precum leaked from the tip.
