‘Here we go again. What exactly have I done to you that wasn’t a part of our deal?’ I muttered, knowing that she willingly agreed to be mine in order to free her family.
I was a businessman and she was the currency. It was that simple.
‘I didn’t come here to fight with you. I came here to thank you. I know you risked your life by breaking into the governor’s house.’ She was finally showing some gratitude for saving her.
But at the same time, I couldn’t admit I did such a gesture just out of the kindness of my heart. ‘I didn’t do it for you. Having you killed, or worse, having the governor on to what we were doing without me taking any measures of precautions would have only interfered with the plan.’
‘So, what are you saying? That you did it for the city?’ she all but laughed.
‘Save the city so I could get myself a comfortable seat at ruling it. You were right when you said I wanted a piece of Echo City, and if I remember correctly, that too was a part of our deal.’ I tried mending things in my favor. Couldn’t really say I succeeded... Still, I played my card, sustaining my beliefs that I was doing everything for selfish reasons and wanting to end up the Annelid’s God.
That settled my part. Still, I couldn’t quite figure out hers, even if I did understand from where the all too familiar vibe that I got when she first entered the room was coming from. ‘Bea, what are you doing here dressed in that same black dress, same make-up, same fucking everything? If I didn’t know better, I could say you’re trying to stir up some memories, or maybe even more than memories.’ I took another glass of whiskey as I was starting to believe a whole bottle wouldn’t be enough to settle my nerves.
‘I’m here for the whiskey.’ She drained a glass of whiskey on her own, placing it back on my desk with a loud clink.
I might not have been an expert on women’s temper because I just didn’t care. But when it came to signals, I had a seventh sense for picking up any kind of sexual vibe. And she was fucking vibrating.
‘Are you?’ I took a seat on the corner of my desk, keeping my legs apart so she could fit her body against my chest. ‘What are you really doing here?’ I asked as she came to claim her position, without me even having to say the words.
Bea never answered. Instead, her gestures were saying everything I needed to know. Maybe she was finally coming back to her senses, driving her fingers to trail the border of my suit and letting me know that her attitude towards me had changed through a hundred eighty degrees.
‘Did you miss me?’ I couldn’t hold back the question, because I was just acknowledging to myself how much I missed her. There was an inner pain that seemed impossible to handle at the thought that I was on the verge of losing the chance of ever holding her in my arms. But there she was again, and no matter how determined I might have been to keep thingslustrelated, I couldn’t push back that knot in my throat anymore.
We shared something more than body attraction, even if in those moments the chemistry between us was threatening to set the room on fire. And if I had any doubt about it, she brought her head to search the warmth of my shoulder in a gesture that I saw as her surrender. She was mine without me even asking. If initially, I considered it to be a possible trick, the slight shiver ruling her body was convincing me of her true emotions. At least, that’s what I wanted to believe, unable to detach myself from my egotistical nature.
As much as I liked the feeling of her snuggled against my chest, the clock counted backward on our remaining minutes. Setting a small distance between us, I needed to take a glimpse at her angelic face again.
For the first time, I didn’t have a set trajectory of what I was doing. She tended to destroy any previous plans I usually made anyway. But I did know I needed her to be mine again, even if I was to use the benefits of our deal.
Unable to keep my mouth away from hers, I brought her to crash against my lips, in a gesture that threatened to betray everything I was trying to keep from surfacing. I wanted her beneath me as I would make the desk squeak with the rhythm of our ecstasy. Yet I knew such extravagance wasn’t possible in those few moments. Still, I couldn’t control myself from tugging her dress beneath her breasts and having a taste of her large nipples.
Fuck, how I missed those perfect tits... and how frustrated I was becoming that my chance to savor each piece of her needed to be postponed.
‘You couldn’t have said what you wanted the minute you walked through the door?’ I snarled, knowing that there was no way in the world ten minutes would have sufficed.
‘Maybe I shouldn’t have come wearing clothes; that could have saved us the trouble.’ She let out a delicious laugh.
‘In five, I have a two-hour meeting with some board members of the city council. I can’t fucking postpone it.’ Just my luck, my most important meeting of the week and she showed up to add more distress to my already persecuted dick. I hadn’t had sex in ages.
‘You have a meeting in the club?’ She found it odd when in reality sex, booze and money rule the world.
‘VIP table and a few lap dances to seal the deal,’ I shrugged. What use in complicating things with delays when it was that easy?
‘Are you performing the lap dances?’ She was playing smart on me.
‘I almost forgot about this mouth of yours.’ I could have said a few more words on the subject, but I decided not to ruin the mood, since I had such a pressing situation... down in my pants.
Plus, talking would have only shorten my date with her tits and I couldn’t afford that after all this wait.
As in a curse, a knock on the door made me rearrange her dress back together. To my distress, one of my men was announcing that my guests had arrived.
Biting my tongue because of the postponement, we decided to meet in two days when I would definitely clear my agenda for the evening.
In the second it took her to get from my desk to the door, my mind was already playing a hundred scenarios of when and where I was about to have her, especially since my wound will be almost healed by then. Yet Bea decided to surprise me once again, messing any plan that could have raced through my mind and slipping in a thought that was as intriguing as dangerous. ‘Brax, I was thinking we could go to the glass room.’
Herpromisemade the time pass that much harder. The meeting was a burden I could hardly bear, spending most of the night instructing my staff what and where to prepare for my incoming date in the glass room.
I wanted to stop myself from being overly excited about getting her into my bed, but it didn’t seem to be in my power of control any longer. I was like a barrel of powder, ready to explode under the slightest spark.
